Statements attributed to Rob Nelson, co-head of Rockstar North, describe a GTA VI system designed to adjust animations in real time. Its goal would be to support an NPC population with broader differences in height and body type across Leonida while keeping movements consistent during interactions with the world.

The explanation attributed to Nelson points to a technical limitation in earlier games: characters with different body types had to share animation sets. When models with vastly different heights used the same movement, misalignments could occur in situations such as fights, vehicle seating, and contact with the environment.

In the system described, animations would be adapted during runtime to accommodate each character's proportions. This would allow NPCs of varying builds to share scenes and actions without physical differences compromising the visual alignment of the interaction.

The circulation of these statements should not be treated as a recent or standalone announcement from Rockstar Games. No primary publication from the studio detailing the feature, its implementation date, or additional specifications has been found; therefore, the information remains tied to the interview attributed to Nelson.

Strip clubs were mentioned only as a possible showcase for a more visually diverse population. There is no confirmation of new activities, systems, or specific interactions in these spaces in GTA VI.
