Anyone feel bad for Faith?

[TheFluffyGoose]

I feel like she didn’t deserve what she got. In the final battle when you kill her, she even explains how Joseph drugged and brainwashed her at 17, and she explained that she never wanted it. She could’ve been saved and made into a normal person, instead Ubi writers were coming up on their deadline and had to kill her off, otherwise I feel that the Deputy could have overcome the bliss, captured her and treated her so she could fight alongside him with the resistance. She really wasn’t an evil person, just a brainwashed, drugged, alone girl trapped by a psychopath in his playpen. Out of all 4, she was the purest, just misguided and vulnerable.

Faith is a liar, she's just trying to manipulate you.

Yeah, but consider this. The canon ending which is "Resist" leads to the end of the world and leaves only you and joseph alive. Showing that he was right all along. Or the alternate ending where he drugs all your companions and community and you leave with your other sheriff and deps. Which only leads to Whitehorse turning on the radio which Jacobs song begins to play which is supposed to let us assume that your character ends up killing his comrades. All in all it doesn't matter what he did to her in the end.

The alternate ending doesnt show that he was right all along, You visit a few missile silos throughout the game and its not at all unfeasible that he's the one who launched them.

The missile silos are a hint to what's coming later. It's practically a smoking gun...or smoking missile silo.

Also that ending, the resist ending, is not the alternate ending. The walk away is.

me. i like her

[capnclammy]

A junkie with a "it's not my fault" sob story. nah man, I don't regret hunting her down first.

She was very beautiful but she was most dangerous than others members of seed family - My thought

[J4n1]

I did feel sympathy for her, yes.
She still needed to be take out however, and rest of the Seeds needed to go that it would not happen again.
Pity about the ending, what a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ waste of a script.

Anyone who feels bad for Faith, do yourself a favor and never get married.

Faith was kidnapped or lured into a cult, and then drugged and brainwashed to take a place of another, now dead, Faith, who may or may not themselves be a replacement to yet another Faith.

We should feel Sympathy for the woman she was, nobody should go through that, but that does not mean we should not stop, even kill, her.

Joseph says in cutscene : i put my faith inside her.

I felt bad, especially when she reached out her hand to Rook but he stepped back, and she suddenly became upset. Probably was hoping that Rook would forgive her and give her a hug. But then again, I'm not sure all her actions were entirely her own. I find it hard to believe she was able to resist the effects of Bliss anymore than the people she pushed them onto.

After all, there's a reason "Don't get high on your own supply" exists as a rule for drug pushers. Who's to say she wasn't under the influence of Bliss as much as her victims? Which would explain why she tried to reach out to Rook in the end. Perhaps getting shot up pulled her out of the Bliss influence. There's also a prevailing theory that she was already dead and that was simply a manifestation of her under the Bliss's effects.

Either way, I never felt like she was a threat to me, and she always seemed to have a difficult time even threatening the Rook in words (usually laughing before she says something bad because she keeps trying to maintain her sanity and demeanor). Whether all a facade or not, it's not hard to see why her history as a drug abuse and sexual abuse victim might have led her to join the cult.

In fact, I'd argue that she represents today's cult victims, who while very extremist in their view while they're part of the cult, start to regain some sanity and their personality once they're taken out of the cult. You don't hate them so much as pity them. John and Jacob were the only ones who seemed to have their own plans for the cult, and as such, can be seen as having agency in their actions, making them less sympathetic since they actively threatened the rook for messing with their region.

You could compare Faith to Charles Manson.

While messed in the head(mainly due to drugs), they really never killed anybody.

They had a way with words, that drew people to them. Just like with other cults, they are drawn to the group, not necessarily the leader. The comorodarie. The same views. While those views to the majority of us seem a little out of whack, to them they seem right.

And in this story, the leader was right. Regarless which ending you pick. I think the 'resist' ending is proof that he had the Bliss throughout the country. Just by the fact all the nukes went off. He said something along the lines of 'all the leaders and politicians are gone'. Aside from they were blown to smitherines, I think more people were under the influence of Bliss. Why else would all the nukes go off? They were under control.

Just Faith? I feel a weird sense of sadness for everything we do in Farcry games (With the exception of Farcry3, as Hoyt was shown as a true psycho without sympathy) little by little we are devouring empires to nothing without reasoning. Im yet to see Joseph's intentions but Im sure he has a reason like Pagan Min and Ull.

It's been a while since you commented this but I feel ya, you spoke right what was on my mind. I also feel this weird sense of sadness after a finish a farcry game. I don't know, it's like it leaves a deep hollow hole in ourselves. In far cry 5, even when you kill the other brothers you just feel something isn't exactly right in doing that. Too bad, for me, that the game had its protagonist a mute one, as for that could help share more light and depth in the story of the game, at least for me.
