10 Amazing Video Game Characters That Were Killed Off Way Too Quickly
3. Vaas - Far Cry 3
Anyone who's played Far Cry 3 can agree that the best part of the game is Vaas, hand down.
The amount of promotional material about him that Ubisoft put out before Far Cry 3's release did not exaggerate about how great of a character he is, although they did fail to mention how small of a role he actually has in the game.
The crazed pirate appears in only the first part of the story, and while he dominates every scene he is in, he actually has less screen time than Far Cry 3's supposed main villain, Hoyt Volker.
For this reason, many of the game's fans consider Vaas' early death to be a missed opportunity. The story becomes far less engaging after he's gone, and none of the characters that appear afterward can hold a candle to the sheer showmanship the man displays.
Let's be real: there's a reason why Vaas is still being quoted to this day while people barely even remember Hoyt existed.
