You completely missed my point if you think I favor or even like GTA Online. The only good thing there is that you play your own character and can participate in whatever - it just so happens that "whatever" is nonexistent, instanced, and unrewarding. And sorry but if I want to see failures of people like some rich asshole in his midlife crisis, some violent drug addicted hobo asshole or yet another ghetto guy then I can just go outside and watch people. I just don't want to play as some unsympathetic assholes that I cannot relate to, going through their gangster stories that I don't care about. That just kills all my immersion. And I don't care for stupid linear story lines either. I have thousands of hours in Skyrim, but I never finished the main story even once, because I rather explore the open world that I further expanded with all sorts of mods, making it a completely different experience. I don't want empty sandboxes either, if that was your takeaway then I'm sorry but that's about as appealing as empty story lines to me. GTA Online has none of that. The only open world activities you can do are shit like robbing a store, which gives you some pity money. I want an open world that's actually filled with proper sandbox activities - one where I don't get ganked by some memory hack using kid that flattens everything with his tank.

Well, then GTA just isn’t for you, the same as Skyrim isn’t for me. I love the story and characters in GTA and hate the lack of deep characters and stories in the Elder Scrolls series because I don’t care much for exploring worlds in a way that doesn’t feel meaningful to me (or my character). We also seem to dislike GTA Online for different reasons. Me, because it’s devoid of characters and story, you because it lacks things to do.

Deep characters in GTA... Sure... lol

Well, of course they’re caricatures. That’s the whole point of GTA. But that doesn’t mean, they’re not well written. Obviously they don’t have the depth of the characters of RDR2. Which is why I prefer that game over GTA.
