What happened
One of the biggest surprises in the Extended Look was an on-screen karma indicator. Jason gains positive karma for petting a dog; later in the video Lucia picks up negative karma while escaping a store heist. Rockstar has not explained how karma feeds back into the world — whether it affects NPC reactions, story beats, prices, or the relationship system — but it is the clearest sign yet that GTA 6 tracks moral behaviour in a way previous entries did not.
