10 Shocking Video Game Moments Players CHOSE To See
7. Far Cry 3 - Choosing Citra Over Your Friends
Far Cry 3 broke the mould for the series, establishing it as one of Ubisoft's blockbuster franchises after reaching 10 million sales. Set on the fictional Rook Islands, it stars protagonist Jason Brody, who must save his friends after they’ve been kidnapped by pirates, looking to escape from the island.
Widely praised for it’s characters, one major character in question was Citra, tribal priestess for the Rakyat and antagonist Vass’ sister.
After defeating Vass, she proclaims her love for Jason and drugs him, trying to convince him to stay. Jason then experiences a series of vivid hallucinations, coming back round to find he has a tribal knife at his friend Liza’s neck.
You’ll then be offered two choices, to either join Citra or save your friends. If you choose to save them, you’ll cut the rope holding Liza and free the whole group. If you choose to join Citra however, you slit Liza’s throat, kill the others and then tell the Rakyat Warriors to prepare for the ritual.
It then cuts to Jason and Citra having sex, but as things wind down, she stabs Jason straight through his chest. As he bleeds out, she then proclaims their child will become the perfect warrior who will lead the Rook Islands and Rakyat.
It's certainly a shocking ending, but after sacrificing his friends for Citra, it’s hard to feel sorry for Jason overall.
