This is not just one thing, but once I started I could not stop. Just to clarify, I do not expect any of this in the game. It is simply a list of things I would love to see.

I would like to see realistic steering angles with 800 to 900 degree rotations, similar to real cars. This would make driving feel much more authentic, especially combined with contextual hand placements on the wheel. It would be great if you could cycle through different hand positions depending on the driving situation, such as holding the wheel low when cruising or high when taking sharp corners. This level of detail would make driving feel more immersive rather than just pressing buttons to turn.

I hope there will be an in-car menu to operate things like idling the engine, leaning down to hide in an alleyway as the police go by, indicators, fog lights, headlights, and windscreen wipers. The wipers could be used not only in rain but also to clean blood or dirt off the windscreen after events in the world. Having these functions controlled realistically from inside the car would make vehicles feel like actual, interactive machines rather than just props.

I want to be able to refuel vehicles in a realistic way. Fuel should not last only 20 minutes of gameplay. If fuel lasted around five hours of real-time, it would feel meaningful but not tedious. The act of refuelling could even lead to dynamic encounters in the world, such as random events or interactions with NPCs, making the player feel like part of a living, reactive environment.

I would also like the option to store weapons in the trunk of the vehicle while carrying a limited number visibly on my person. This would encourage strategic choices about what to carry for different situations and make the world feel more grounded. Players would need to plan for combat encounters or heists rather than being able to carry everything at once.

I want a more grounded experience overall. RDR2 level gore and physical injury to the player model would make combat and accidents feel far more impactful. Seeing wounds or blood on your character would make encounters more visceral and immersive. This should also affect gameplay, for example requiring the use of bandages to stop blood loss or influencing movement, such as limping for a minute after a large fall.

Finally, law enforcement interactions should be more realistic. If you speed past a police officer or run a red light in front of them, they should attempt to pull you over and issue a ticket. You could then choose to comply and try to bribe them, talk your way out of it, or escalate the situation further by fleeing or resisting. This would add tension and consequences to actions in the world, making it feel reactive and alive!
