Now that’s not to say the story is bad, because honestly it isn’t all that bad, not great but not bad. Frankly I ended up caring more about Bhadra than I did any of the other characters, with the exception of Pagan Min of course! Instead all we get are some silted confrontations that you don’t really end up caring about, or even caring about the characters. Over the course of the game these rivalries would have taken some interesting turns. I’d love to have seen how this played out as you sided with one side or the other. This conflict could have been amazing, with some really awesome rivalry between the two. We’d have Sabal the nationalist, who stood for the old values, and Amita the revolutionary who wants to change and become modern. Which for me is a shame, this is such a missed opportunity for the old confronting the modern. It was like the writers decided to try and make all of the characters equally creepy. Who’s more than happy to sell the soul of her country in a bid to make things ‘better’, frankly she’s just as creepy as Sabal, in a different way. His entire personality, while interesting at first, is revealed as being really creepy and frankly a little disturbing.Īmita however, is revealed as a drug peddling money grubbing whore. The problem however is the way this is played out, Sabal ends up feeling more like a paedophile lusting after the Taurn Matara, Bhadra he’s also revealed to be a mass murderer.
Amita however is on the side of progression and modernisation, progression and looking forward to the future. Traditional values and the acceptance of the ‘old’ values that made up Kyrat. You’ve got Sabal on one side, an ultra-nationalist who wants things to go back to the way they were before Pagan. Initially when they’re introduced you’ve got a potentially great conflict going on. Over the course of the game I found I was looking forward to his banter on the phone, though sadly he’s way under used and doesn’t really appear anywhere near as much as Vaas did in Far Cry 3.Īmita and Sabal vary from interesting to just down right dull. His personality is just amazing, tied with a voice actor who really brings the character to life. Pagan Min however is right up there with Vaas IMO. Ending in nothing more than a dull quick time event. Buck and Vass’s boss, Hoyte were terrible. Vaas and his Sister were bloody awesome, the way they acted and the story flowed around them was amazingly well crafted, though I do seem to be in a minority with regards to that. You had an awesome lead villains in FC3, and two meh ones. To be honest, Far Cry 4 has a lot to live up to when it came to their villains. Which is a shame really, since the story shifts focus because of it, it suddenly not about you doing you’re thing, fulfilling your mother’s last wish to go to Lakshmana but about them doing theirs using you as their hammer. Truth be told the characters around him, Pagan Min, Sabal, Amita, are all immensely better developed and more personable that you are. He also doesn’t question anything or seem concerned that he’s becoming a one man army who can murder anything and everything….except for eagles! Ajay on the other hand feels like a machine, who only responds in set way. What’s more he actually questioned things now and again, and agonised a bit over what he was becoming. This is a shame, since while I wasn’t a huge fan of the FC3 protagonist, he certainly had more personality than Ajay. I personally didn’t care about him at all and would have forgotten all about him, if not for the fact his name is thrown around every few minutes. Like its predecessor, Far Cry 3, the main guy is a throw away character.
It was an amazing chance for a lesser of two evils storyline. Sure there’s no ‘good’ guy but there’s ‘evil’ and then there’s the ‘so evil only an idiot would follow me’. However they couldn’t help falling into the traps all developers seem to do when it comes to this sort of story. Ubisoft seem have tried to go for a shades of grey story, where there is no clear ‘good’ and ‘evil’, which on the surface of things would be fine. So while the story isn’t amazing, it’s good enough to keep you interested, but it does have a few flaws. However I found myself compelled to do several playthrough’s, just so I could see how the different events played out. Welcome to Kyrat.Īll told the story isn’t that great, it’s no work of art. Here, every decision counts, and every second is a story. Traveling to Kyrat to fulfil your mother’s dying wish, you find yourself caught up in a civil war to overthrow the oppressive regime of dictator Pagan Min.Įxplore and navigate this vast open world, where danger and unpredictability lurk around every corner. Hidden in the majestic Himalayas lies Kyrat, a country steeped in tradition and violence.
