10 REAL Reasons Behind Annoying Video Game Moments
10. Far Cry 3 (2012) - Vaas's Death
From the first trailers and images of the third instalment of the Far Cry series, audiences were instantly captivated with the crazed pirate Vaas. This was all thanks to Michael Mando's stellar performance, which made Vaas an instant fan favourite.
Given his prominence within the marketing, his menacing charisma, and that he was the first villain that protagonist Jason encountered, it looked like Vaas was being set up to be the main antagonist. However, players' infatuation with this character was brought to a crushing end when he was unceremoniously killed off before the final act.
While our dreams of an intense final showdown with Vaas were cut short, we're lucky the character ever appeared at all.
Originally, Vaas wasn't supposed to be as prominent in the game. Rather, he was to be a mindless but hulking henchmen named Bull. The character as we know him didn't begin to take form until Mando's audition, which was so good that the team decided to change his design to fit with the actor's performance.
Vaas would go through some more transformations, including another henchman called Pyro, before the developers nailed down who this character should be.
However, knowing Vaas's design roots doesn't make accepting his fate any easier.
