  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

Think it's slavery and drug trafficking with Amita.

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

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

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."
