Far Cry Primal 2
Since we'll never see Far Cry Primal 2, which is really sad as the original game is a true masterpiece, all I can do is just wonder what the sequel could look like.
So here are some of my thoughts and speculations.

Setting the scene
The tribe of the MC is almost totally wiped out. MC and a few other tribespeople flee their lands in search of a safe haven. As they reach new lands, they lose sight of each other and MC embarks on their journey alone.
MC soon finds out there are three antagonistic tribes in the area.

Tribe A - Blacksmiths and craftsmen
Living in the mountains (tribute to Far Cry 4 amazing views), they are proficient with weapons and joining their cause opens a new skill tree:
- a wooden shield (destructible after a few hits)
- +1 upgrade for axes/spears/bows

Tribe B - Wildlife lovers
Living in swamps and woods in harmony with nature and resisting technological progress, they use only simplest weapons and tools. However, they are not to be underestimated as their ability to tame and summon animals in battle can be compared to MC skills. Choosing their tribe as allies unlocks the following skill tree:
- taming Primal Komodo Dragon and Giant Vulture (or any other beasts, just came up with the first idea :) )
- all tamed animals deal +1 damage

Tribe C - Primal cultists (Hello Far Cry 5! :) )
The cultists inhabit the southern part and their main purpose is to make everyone worship their God. Joining the Cult unlocks the Physique skill tree:
- +1 health bar
- a potion recipe to reduce incoming damage for a while
- toxic bomb (enemies become MC allies for a while)

The Plot
MC can join only one tribe or oppose all three tribes.
So there can be three paths, each of them implies joining one of the three tribes and eliminating the leaders of the two other tribes (after a certain number of liberated outposts, of course :) )
Moreover, each of the above mentioned paths leads to either a good or evil ending depending on MC's previous actions.
For instance, joining the Cult and defeating the other tribes may lead to MC being influential enough to take over the Cult and convey the image of God as merciful and helpful to those in need. The evil ending suggests MC becomes the Dark Prophet to bring the reign of fear and terror to the infidels.

The alternative ending involves MC having defeated all the tribes and left alone with no one around as they either died or fled.

So, even a good ending implies choosing the lesser evil.

How do you see the possible sequel to Far Cry Primal? :)
