Editing Saints Row (section)

===Activities and respect system===
The player can also partake in a variety of side missions. Such activities help players earn respect, which unlocks story missions throughout the various districts of Stilwater, as well as granting special abilities (i.e. more hit points, more effective weaponry, etc.).<ref name="IGN" /> The player's attire also reflects on the respect level, such that a "clothing bonus" is awarded upon successful completion of a mission when a sufficient number of stylish or gang-appropriate items are being worn.<ref name="IGN" /> Once the player has earned enough respect in a neighborhood, another story mission or location of an enemy stronghold is revealed.<ref name="IGN"/>

The player can engage in whichever activities he prefers to increase the 3rd Street Saints' kill level. One can make the same amount of progress through the game by choosing this route than if one had done the same amount of street racing. Essentially, the game is tailored to reward the player for whatever he enjoys doing the most. By fully completing all of the levels of a given activity, the player can unlock jewelry, designer clothes, tattoos including the developers tattoo and other bonuses.
