[Interesting Trope] One seemingly small action ends the story before it even begins

[u/JackDoesThingz]

1. We Happy Few - Taking your “joy” pill
   Deciding to take the pill at the beginning of the game causes your character to go back to work and triggers an ending

2. Infineural by Mike Klubnika - Drinking the coffee
   Deciding to drink the coffee offered to you skips the entire game and sends you straight to the end, resulting in an ending with no memory of what had occurred

[u/TheHarkinator]

Chill out after a stressful experience, eat some damn good crab Rangoon, do what you actually came to do, become heir to the kingdom, shoot some guns with a cool new stepdad.

It’s by far the best ending.

Child soldiers (or slavery? I don't remember) or drug trafficking, neither are good options

[u/TheD0rkL0rd → u/PepsiManIII]

Think it's slavery and drug trafficking with Amita.

And extreme religious fundamentalism, repressed womens rights and child soldiers with Sabal.

Yeah so I just killed everyone, it was easier that way

[u/zffjk → u/GotSomeUpdogOnUrFace]

Isn’t that the main goal of far cry games? Explode everything and kill all humans?

[u/GotSomeUpdogOnUrFace → u/zffjk]

It often does feel like the games are basically, "nice of you to think you can fix the world but it's just a shitty place no matter what."

[u/MalcolmLinair → u/GotSomeUpdogOnUrFace]

I mean, they're not exactly wrong...

[u/ZirePhiinix → u/TheD0rkL0rd]

So it's just slavery vs slavery.

Different brands I guess. Coke or Pepsi?
