hair color customization might be way more limited than the trailers suggest
I was going back through every shot of Lucia and Jason from the trailers and the extended look, trying to map out the customization we've actually seen. Something started bugging me about hair color.
As far as I can tell, there are only four looks where either protagonist isn't in their basic brown hair. First, that glammed up Lucia shot with what looks like highlights. I know there was debate about whether it's even her, but the makeup and face shape read as Lucia to me.
Second, the wig. Could be a hairstyle with its own color, could be a hardcoded disguise for a specific mission. It has that wig energy.
Third, the two tone dye job. The pattern looks intricate enough that I'd bet it's a preset color and not something we dial in ourselves.
Fourth, blond Jason. He's a little blond and a little bald, but it's clearly not the default brown.
Outside those four, we've seen dozens of hairstyles between the two of them and every single one is the same basic brown. Meanwhile those four looks haven't shown up in brown variants anywhere. That ratio feels off if free hair color customization was in.
Rockstar has been pushing customization hard in the marketing. Piercings, tattoos, makeup, body shape, all confirmed or heavily shown. So the silence on hair color starts to look deliberate. My guess is hairstyles come as they are, with baked-in colors, just like GTA V single player. You'd get a handful of non-brown options and the rest stay brown.
If that's the case it's a weird little gap in a system that's supposed to be deep. I'd rather be wrong, but the pattern is hard to unsee.
