8 Video Games That Reward You For Not Playing Them

10. Far Cry 4 Finishes The Game For You

Pacifism in gaming is very seldom acknowledged. You can stand around in-game for what amounts to days, weeks – and yet your goal will normally remain fixed and unmoving. Occasionally, however, a game comes along that takes its sense of time seriously, and Far Cry 4 is one such title.

During the game you play as protagonist Ajay Ghale, a man intent on scattering his mother's ashes and laying her to rest. While travelling to Kryat on a bus, you and a bunch of other passengers are taken hostage by Pagan Min. Min forces you back to his home for a violent dinner, and at a certain point steps out of the room for a breather.

Usually, this is your chance to begin your escape, kicking off the entire campaign. If you wait, however, like Min suggests, when he returns he actually takes you somewhere to scatter your mother's ashes. The final thing Min says to you is “Oh good. You feel better now? Get it out of your system? Maybe now we can finally shoot some !*$% guns.” Though this is a sly wink at the player's pacifism, the game then legitimately ends, credits and all.
