If you buys the Citizen Passport, will you then be able to activate the game on Steam, when it gets released there?

They will likely send out a steam key for you to activate yes.

If gaming wheels are supported, what will the physics be like? And will you be able to mod cars so they will drift? That would be an insane feature.

You can customise cars extensively but I don't know if you can do it to make them drift and the physics will be realistic.

This seems like an amazing game but why would Identity be rated 18+? If it were just violence and straight up drug making then that would be absolutly fine with me, but if there is sex/nudity then I would reconsider the game.

The game could be rated 18 for many reasons, we only have 2 reasons known.

Yes, do you think if you were driving a rear wheel drive car and you lost traction, it would counter-steer automatically or would you just spin out?

I don't know as nothing has been asked like that but maybe @HairyGrenade or @Olio can answer for you.

Depends 100% on how the force feedback is coded which will be a challenge as this isn't a racing game.

Don't believe the driving will be that realistic.

I've sent Marthalion some decent resources on creating realistic physics so we might see some resemblance of tyre physics over the limit for both understeer and oversteer conditions.

@JamesLuck01  will g27 steering wheel be supported? Its populair how far i know. I dont know if its really that populair but its a shifting wheel.

The answer given on the main part of this thread is the answer. If it is popular then it will be supported and that is as much as I can tell you.

I am sure you can get illness' yes and so being sick possibly is something already.

Probably not

I feel like they should either update the Town Square module progress bar to actual progress or just remove it entirely as it has essentially become pointless. I would rather it go down in percentage than keep it static like this because it would feel more realistic as an indicator. I knew I might be beating a dead horse here but I just want a better measure of what to expect in the future.

Well they only update it when they fell they have hit a milestone in development and so is in big chunks.

Do we have another ETA on release or is it up in the air?

Please read the main post on the first page as it gives a estimate/ guestimate of when it could be.

[RunningW0LF 3]

Sorry, I should have been more clear I meant for the Town Square module as we are already past Easter weekend.

https://gyazo.com/08f3dcef40a6f165630540d14a403de1 It is the same answer as it says there, there is no ETA on when it will be out. That is the best answer you will get unfortunately.

I don't know what RDM/VDM is, explain? 

1. I'd also like to know about cheating (mods, hacks, scripts, etc), and the Dev policy on this, as well as what's being done to combat it.  It will happen, it always does.  I've seen too many games simply ruined by this and the Dev's inability to properly combat the problem (if they even cared at all).

2. Regarding housing and real estate:  Will we be able to just by a plot of dirt and build our own house on it to live in or sell/rent?

3. How will law enforcement be alerted to crimes?  Example:  Depending on server population, a few criminals could make short work of an area unless there are automated systems in place to notify law enforcement players that something is amiss.

4.a. Regarding the prison system.  How are prison terms actually served?  Can the convict simply log out and play other games while the sentence runs its course?  

4.b. What about executions of criminals?  Are inmates executed?  If so, what happens to the PC?  Do they just respawn at their apartment?  Do they have to reroll an all new PC?

5.  How are rerolls handled?  As in, can we respec skills, change appearance and/or gender, etc?

More questions. Always more questions.

Will you be able to create multiple characters under the one account? In case you ever wanted to start fresh in the game?

Edit: And also have 2 different characters at the same time?

There will be main servers at Identity HQ, and on each server you have an entirely different character

RDM: This is short hand for "Random Deathmatch". 

RDM: is known in RolePlay and is used as a rule to stop players from just going in a server and shooting everyone they see with no reason.

RDM: The term means, Players killing with no Role Play reason which is valid and consists of "Having Fun". 

(I could go find a more in-depth definition but you should know what it means and understand it from this)

VDM is the same but stands for "Vehicle Deathmatch" and is applied for players who are driving a car or a vehicle of some kind etc.

The developers are creating their own anti-cheat system to cover these types of people.

No you cannot build buildings in this game.... Maybe they will figure it out in the future.

Law enforcement will be likely alerted by alarms on shops being triggered, or witnesses etc. However if you do commit a crime you will become wanted automatically and the police won't know who you are (Unless there is a witness) or the cops won't even know they are looking for someone.

4.a. Regarding the prison system.  How are prison terms actually served?  Can the convict simply log out and play other games while the sentence runs its course?

There has been a lot of questions regarding this and I am sure if I can remember correctly that, you will likely have to be on the game to serve your time in the prison.

No executions on inmates. (Death is answered here on the other:)

I believe you will be able to change your appearance at anytime in the game, i am not sure with gender though and that is probably not.

Hello! : D

I would have a question because there is the support of the steering wheels, most of them by Thrustmaster. Will Logitech steering wheels also work, like the G29, because many have the same, like me?

Thanks for a reply, already in advance! : D

 

Sry, when my message is blue, i think its a bug.
