Ubisoft Montreal has done a pretty good job answering any and all questions about Watch Dogs (non-story related, of course) leading up to next month's May 27 release, and that continued yesterday and today when Watch Dogs creative director Jonathan Morin fielded some questions about the game.
Apparently the most pressing question on at least one person's mind was whether you'll be able to have "physical sexual interactions" with NPCs in the game. Morin didn't need too many words to answer that one: "Nope."
Morin provided a little bit of clarification on bank account hacking as well. Apparently you can hack multiple NPCs and then take a trip to the ATM to withdraw all of your loot:
@widowmaker4881 Yes, it stacks until you go to the ATM. Otherwise it would be quite tedious :)

@widowmaker4881 All at once yes. — Jonathan Morin (@Design_Cave) April 26, 2014
Morin also addressed the "notoriety" in the game, which you gain through online interactions. "Notoriety" will apparently be its own form of XP not tied to the single player game, and have its own skill trees.
@finner2k12 @Savage_crom Notoriety is an isolated form of currency tied to its own progression yes. But you don't lose xp...

@finner2k12 @Savage_crom They are notoriety linked skills yes :) but they are not the same as the skills coming out of the skill tree. — Jonathan Morin (@Design_Cave) April 26, 2014
And lastly, Morin stated that this game will not feature any micro-transactions, just a season pass and DLCs.
@kyybooty nope, DLC/Season pass are planned but no micro-transactions.

All good info to know, as we continue to learn more and more leading up to the Watch Dogs launch. Morin answered his last question three hours ago, so if you've got a question burning you up, get at him on Twitter and see if he can answer!
