With this being an open-world game, especially one with an urban setting, random events and encounters would be another good way to make the world feel alive as if things happen even when you are not in the game. A good inspiration for random encounters can come from GTA 4, GTA 5, and Red Dead Redemption 2. These encounters come in the form of driving stranded people to places, running into armed thugs who robbed some places and you can choose to help them or not(they pay you for helping them escape), and such. You can do something similar for Ananta but PG to fit your game. Random events can just be stopping random criminals on the street, saving someone from dying, and so on. And to make it even more interesting, you can continue these events and encounters when you run into the same individuals again the next 2 or 3 times.

Would be cool if a big event like this one happens every X time and we’re all meant as players to work together to finish the event.
