But at least there was a story linking the missions together. I don't mind my character being mute, because it would take a lot of time and resources to get a selection of voice actors for different characters. I just want cutscenes and phone calls and whatnot, moving things along and telling me why I should give a shit about these people and their problems.
I like Trevor, but my character, being partially Hispanic, would be a lot more likely to approach the Aztecas for work. He would work for the Vagos over Lamar for the same reason. Hell, give me an alternate start DLC where I'm brought to San Andreas by Ortega, landing at McKenzie Field, and the game starts out in Blaine County, working for the Aztecas.
GTAO needs a major overhaul. It needs a storyline. Keep everyone's character at the same level, but bring them back into the game from the beginning, with multiple starting options, link the current missions with a story, and add a lot more of them.
