Criminal Profile

Criminal Profile is a gameplay system that is due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI. The system tracks the criminal behavior of Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. It is separate from the Wanted Level in Grand Theft Auto VI and reflects how the player approaches criminal activity throughout the game. The Criminal Profile is influenced by the player's actions while controlling Jason or Lucia. The system allows players to approach criminal activity in different ways, with their actions affecting their Criminal Profile. Players can avoid negatively influencing their Criminal Profile by limiting unnecessary escalation during criminal activities. The system distinguishes between actions that are necessary to complete an objective and unnecessary actions committed repeatedly. Consistently committing unnecessary acts of violence can cause the player's Criminal Profile to change. Small everyday actions, such as petting dogs, as seen in the Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, also have a positive effect on your reputation. Unlike the Honor system in Red Dead Redemption 2, the Criminal Profile is not intended to force the player toward a particular moral alignment. Rockstar has described Grand Theft Auto VI as allowing players to decide how heavily they want to roleplay their characters.
