10 More Video Game Villains Who Were Right All Along

5. Pagan Min (Far Cry 4)

Pagan Min was the ninth king of the Konbaung dynasty of Burma, and nobody can take that away from him, but he was also deep down a pretty alright dude.

The main villain of Far Cry 4 rules over Kyrat and, for the majority of the game we’re led to believe he does so with an iron fist, which is in some part true, but it becomes apparent later on that we perhaps didn’t pick the right side.

Instead, it’s the Golden Path and their two most prominent leaders, Amita and Sabal, whom one could interpret to be even worse than the supposed “dictator” in the end, ultimately learning of their tolerance in other diabolical means such as child marriage and pushing youngsters into the rebel army.

Let’s get one thing straight, Kyrat is one big, debatable grey blur in Far Cry 4, filled with murder and all things unfortunate, but in the context of this game and story, Pagan Min might be the lesser of two evils.

Perhaps by a fraction, but a fraction nonetheless .
