<<<SPOILER ALERT>>>

Without giving away too many of the main gameplay mechanics of the mod, I'd like to further explain how I intend to make dynamic heists possible.

If anyone has ever watched a heist/robbery movie, you'll notice that oftentimes the heist doesn't go according to plan. The heisters typically end up thinking of another way to pull off the score mid-heist. 

This, in essence, is what heists are gonna be all about. Working around flaws in the plan, and/or working to prevent them happening in the first place.

By the time I'm ready to release this mod, at least in Beta form, there will not only be many different ways to prepare for the heist, but there will also be many ways it could go wrong, to the point of failure.

For example, maybe you would like to pull off the heist without setting off any alarms. Ghost the place. You've planned as much as you thought necessary, but you realize mid-heist that you forgot an extremely important variable, such as, say, the bank is quite busy on Mondays. You enter the bank early in the morning, gaining entrance to the vault, but upon exiting you realize the bank is now bustling with people and there's no way you're going to be able to sneak the loot out. 

You could always go out guns blazing. 

But then again, you could always attempt to yell down or incapacitate everyone in the bank. If you're lucky like that.

Or maybe you decide to take the incapacitated vault-guard's outfit, and walk right out undetected. Except a bank teller is close -ahem- 'acquaintances' with the Vault Guard, and makes you right away. It's probably a good thing you routed power from the alarm system earlier that morning. The teller looks confident you'll be apprehended, but instead you leave the bank, climb in the back of a stolen delivery van, and speed off into the sunset.

Each choice you make during, before or after a heist could directly affect the outcome of that or another heist later in the mod.
