10 Bad Video Game Choices That Are Secretly The Best Option
4. Don't Arrest Joseph Seed - Far Cry 5
Far Cry 5 follows a team of law enforcement as they try to put a stop to Joseph Seed and his cult.
You get the option to arrest the man right at the start of the game, but contrary to what your mission tells you, putting your handcuffs on Joseph's wrist isn't the best course of action.
It's actually not doing your job at all!
Yes, following the long-standing tradition of Far Cry games, the fifth entry in the series includes a secret ending for waiting instead of following the main plot of the game.
During the intro, when the game gives you a prop to arrest Joseph, standing idly for long enough will cause your character to step away, leading to a secret ending where you let the cultist walk free and settle for arresting him at a more opportune moment.
Considering that the alternative sets forth the events of the entire game, culminating in two endings where you either cause a nuclear apocalypse or kill all of your friends, it's clear that being a lazy cop is actually the best choice to make here.
Don't worry! We'll get him next time!
