Far Cry 5: 5 Things We Learned From E3 2017

5. Ubisoft Went To Montana To Research That "Small Town Feel"

At E3, the Executive Producer/Creative Director of the game, Dan Hay, described how the creators visited the state of Montana in order to learn about the people there, and after just 24 hours were immediately convinced that the small-town feel and the cold reception that they received had to be incorporated into the game. They felt like strangers, nobody wanted to talk to them, and they just didn't have the idea what to do.

This is exactly your situation at the beginning of the game. There are two things you know: That you need to take down The Father and his cult, and that there are other people just like you, who want to do the exact same thing.

You need to find them, but... how?

In the real world, to learn something we either read, watch or talk. And that's how you learn about stuff in the game as well.
