Summary

Some GTA players are advocating for the removal of the Heritage character system that was introduced in 2013. They would prefer a straightforward character creator instead.

In the current Heritage system, players select their in-game parents from a list of preset faces, including notable characters like Claude from GTA 3 and John Marston from Red Dead Redemption. They then utilize a Resemblance slider to adjust inherited traits from each parent and have limited options for customizing additional features. Players have expressed frustration with these constraints and hope for a system that grants more freedom for expression.

While some fans appreciate the Heritage system, many argue it restricts creativity. One player, OfficialSmokDoll, has highlighted this concern on the r/GTA6 subreddit, gaining significant support for a revamped character creator in GTA 6 Online.

As of now, the future of the Heritage system remains uncertain; Rockstar has not disclosed details regarding online gameplay mechanics for GTA 6, set for release in late 2025.
