Completed Far Cry 6.
In an uncharasteristic moment, you’re actually given a choice if you want to shoot McKay or not, because he made a deal with the guerillas, actually. I decided to shoot him in the face anyway. He gassed Jonron, and Jonron was a waifu, despite being vegan.
Dani is then captured by the one legged general we’ve only seen in the intro some 50 hours ago. But Diego, dictator’s son, shoots the general in the head, because Dani spared him once. Doesn’t take much to get friends with this guy. Then Anton, the dictator, decided to give Dani a chance, but throws an incideary grenade into the cell. Does he just casually cary those? Also, our weapons don’t even need recovering, but I think the last bit is just laziness from the game authors.
Castillo captures Clara. We’re supposed to care about that, but she’s just a character that doesn’t do anything except introducing us to the world of Yara and then congratulating us on completing each episode. But the game does take the weapons away from us. So they can do it when they care.
We fail to save Clara, and Anton shoots her. We chase him to the top of his tower, where he kills himself and Diego.
This was probably the least satisfying ending in the entire series. For a series that loves to mess with your head, it is just so very bland. I was prepared that Dani is just a plot of Diego imagination, a kid that likes comics and baseball would imagine this guerilla that blows tanks with a minigun. Or that Dani is actually grown up Diego, and all the interjections with Anton are somehow his memories. Or that Clara is just another dictator (she never explains what is her plan after Anton is dethroned), and we have to shoot her just like El Tigre shot Lobo. Or that Diego is actually Vaas (I remember this theory based on the artwork). Or that Diego’s blood is somehow involved in producing Viviro (Viviro was invented 13 ago, same as Diego’s age). Or that Diego kills his father in the end, ending the cycle (we have the bloody gun and the baseball at the title screen after all). But no. They went down with a whimper.
