Everyone is Franklin in GTA 5 now
A GTA 5 mod called Everyone Is Franklin turns almost every character in Los Santos into the protagonist, giving the city a surreal, clone-filled feel. The change is a comic experiment in the author’s ongoing effort to transform the game or make it behave strangely.
The duplicate Franklins appear around the city in matching clothes, from street corners to the beachfront gym, and some can even give the player a piggyback. The streets seem emptier, and the remaining characters mostly walk silently; they also cannot be killed or targeted, apparently sharing Franklin’s invulnerability and ally status.
In short
- A mod turns nearly everyone in Los Santos into Franklin.
- The clones wander silently and cannot be killed.
- The result is funny, eerie and oddly philosophical.
