Far Cry 3 follows the story of a group of young 20-somethings in search of a good time. They are the types that listen to Dubstep and go clubbing, skydiving and drink shots on the beach in the middle of the day. They wear baseball caps, brightly coloured t-shirts and sunglasses. So what would be fitting names for these people? Jason, Riley, Daisy, Oliver, Liza (that's right, with a "Z"), Grant and... Keith? Living in the real world, as most of us have for most of our lives, you will find that there is no one under the age of 45 named Keith. It is a name that has been confined to the back pages of the baby name book, left to middle-aged men who's kids have left home and are beginning to think about retirement. Keith is not a name for a young, handsome bead-necklace-wearing chap who might find himself stuck on a tropical island.

There is a certain image of arms dealers that has been constructed by news reports and movies that paints a picture of ruthless, cutthroat individual who would do anything to make some quick money, with little or no care for morals or humanity.Far Cry 3 teaches us that this is not the case. Arms dealers are actually friendly, trustworthy types who love nothing more than to carter to your dubious needs. They even diligently maintain the €œself-service€ gun vending-machines throughout the islands (islands that are filled with people trafficking pirates and hired guns). They also buy a variety of items, items they can assumably sell for profit within the islands apparently thriving economy. Although there is no dialogue in the interactions with the weapons dealers, if there were, it might go a little something like this: Jason Brody: Hello, I€™d like to sell some goods I€™ve come across. Arms Dealer: Great, what have you got? Jason Brody: Well, it€™s not much, but I have found this photo of a dwarf. Arms Dealer: I€™ll take it. Jason Brody: Brilliant, thank you. I also have this playing card. It's, um, an ace. Arms Dealer: I€™ll give you $25 dollars for it. Jason Brody: Great. Arms Dealer: Is that a white poker chip? Jason Brody: Yes. Arms Dealer: $5. Jason Brody: I don€™t think that€™s how poker -- Arms Dealer: $10! Jason Brody: Okay, great - deal. I would also like to buy some firearms. Arms Dealer: Take them, they€™re all free.
