6. Character Customization
Rumours abound have spread about the customization freedom players have in regards to the characters they play as. Rumours. That is all they are. Rockstar announced in recent press releases and articles that there will be no customization beyond clothing. Michael, Trevor and Franklin will not be gaining weight or getting new tattoos any time soon. While it has been hinted at and is feasible that characters are able to hit the gym or go for a bike ride, there will be no change in physical appearance. This goes for tattoos, hair, etc. as well. There will be no Saint's Row customization. What you see is what you get - save for an outfit or two. Hopefully Rockstar brings out a much larger clothing selection than was available in GTA IV, as Niko always seemed to wind up in his black suit and red tie. Regardless, do not expect RPG customisability like what is seen in Skyrim. Rather, expect a feature more similar to that of Sleeping Dogs.
