Far Cry 5: 10 Things We Can't Wait To Do
5. Create A Character
This isn't exactly the biggest selling point of the game, let's be fair, but at least it's another step forward for the franchise. The prior games had some variety, but not much.
Your main character was more of a cypher for the player to cause maximum destruction; in Far Cry 2 you selected a mercenary but there was little more than a text description illustrating their violent past leading to mercenary work. Far Cry 3 and 4 gave us Jason Brody and Ajay Gale: characters that had motivations and reacted to story events with snippets of dialogue.
Far Cry 5 will expand the dialogue system to let you have conversations, interrupt dialogue with violence or rudely walk off like a bored party guest, leading to characters moaning at you when you go back to them.
What's more, you'll be able to create your own male or female all-American kick-ass character to maximise not only your investment in the game, but also ensure you aren't just along for someone else's adventure.
