Okay so picture for me if you will that Status had an update, in this update is the following

1. Top down map characters can move around.
2. Actual character creation.
3. Money and shops in worlds so you can buy the latest fashions or gifts for people you like.
4. More types of social media.
5. Characters actually posting pictures and videos using their avatar from character creation.
6. Actual activities you can do based on where you are and who you are with.

This is something I want to see for Status but is it something other people would want to see too?

We really need a PC version of this with more features like the AI actually posting pictures instead of only referencing that pictures and videos exist, it's a little sad seeing only text in the timeline other than from my posts.

Maybe an option to connect it to Player2 so we can choose for ourselves what LLM we use since some are more inclined to do well in less realistic settings than others.

So Ubisoft did a good job with Watch Dogs 1 and 2 but they really let us down with Legion by removing the Watch Dogs part of the game, I'm sure you know what I mean. So I have been sat here thinking and I've come up with a list of things Watch Dogs 3 should have if it ever gets released.

1. Dark and gritty like Watch Dogs 1: In Watch Dogs 1 it really felt like we were hackers skating the line between being good and bad people, we had temporary allies and even temporary enemies, that sort of thing needs to return.
2. Random encounters: Whether these are from hacking, texts, listening in on phone calls or catching a criminal in the act they need to be brought back, when I walked around London in Legion it felt like nothing was happening but when I walked around Chicago and San Francisco it always felt like things were happening around me and that's because they were.
3. Multiple playable characters with permadeath: Now this was a feature I liked from Legion, being able to build your own Dedsec, however in Legion it felt rushed, you would do 1 mission for a person and then they would join you, it shouldn't be that easy, it should take a lot to build trust with someone.
4. Personalities, Relationships and Schedules: Another feature from Legion I liked was that the NPCs had lives and you could follow them around and see them actually living those lives, but once again it felt rushed, NPCs will do the same thing every single day regardless of events that have happened to them or around them. NPCs should be affected by the things going on in the world around them even down to simple things like having a hangover because they went out with mates to celebrate a wedding.
5. Character Creation: Instead of giving us a named protagonist instead give us a character we can create as the first character we get to play as, let us insert ourselves into our games or create characters from shows and movies we like.
6. Radiant events and missions: Have events and missions randomly generate constantly even after completing the story to give us things to do and keep us playing.
7. Optional Multiplayer: Allow people to join your game as a member of your Dedsec squad, when they join they create a character but then if they die they have to control a different character the host has recruited, if they aren't playing their character sticks around and does things on their own that the player set up during character creation.
8. Build our own HQ: Similar to how in Assassin's Creed 2 you could build up your little town to unlock new things. With this you could pick one of a bunch of locations in the city to be your HQ and then steadily upgrade it and decorate it as you go.
9. Invasion Mode: Now we have had some form of invasion mode in both Watch Dogs games, it wasn't in Legion, so why not keep that going. But this time have it feel like we are invading Dedsec, make it so invasions require gathering intel before the conducting an assassination, data theft or a full blown HQ raid.
10. Reactive World: The world should react to your actions as much as the NPCs react to the things going on in the world around them. You cause a blackout near a hospital, maybe that makes it onto the news, you lose some positive reputation with anyone who knows it was you and you also lose a squad member who happened to be getting treated at that hospital for a gunshot wound from a previous mission.

EDIT: I had an 11th idea. Double Life: What this entails is that despite being a member of Dedsec and having done a fair amount of things that have ended up on the news there is no evidence as to who is behind the keyboard carrying out the deeds, this means that not everyone knows you are with Dedsec and unless you slip up or tell them then they won't know. You would have to balance your 2 lives to keep your anonymity as well as making sure not to let your face be seen committing crimes or leaving behind evidence because you didn't clear a log or wipe CCTV footage on your way out.
