Who else didn't actually want to murder Faith?
Spoilers inc.
Title.

IMO Faith was most harmless villain in the game and I would have rather rescued her somehow instead of just offing her. She wasn't evil by nature, she was just abused by "Father".

Or maybe I just don't enjoy killing girls for any reason.

The rest of the Seed family deserved to die and I have no regrets about them. Only thing is that I wanted to do the final kill in more personal way, like I did in Far Cry 3 to Vaas. I just didn't get that same satisfaction from the kills because it was basically watching them bleed out or so. All I hoped was that I could pull out my knife and do a final stabbing in the head or slash their throat or just stab them multiple times on chest.

I side w. Grailer here .... They were Harmless christians, and then 'we' barge ind and start shooting them. Its not fair.

I liked, though, the ending where you embrace that nice young man and get his blessing before driving pessfully off' :- )
Ask yourself the question also what you would say if she were the same character, same dialog, but not a beautiful 20-something-year-old girl. What if she were Bubba Fat Jimmy number three? Be honest!

These being forced into something and Activly turning People into mindless monsters are very different.. On top of that she had Many Many chances to stop With the rook around and instead Still sides with her brother. Sorry but in this world she dies.

Hmm, yeah if that was the case then the police would not have come to arrest him for kidnapping.

In my opinion Faith was a bad story design. She tells you a bit about her backstory in the bossfight and after that Joseph says a bit too. Would liked it more if you would get that informations earlier and if you get the choice to kill her or not. John and Jacob were just bastards and deserved to get killed, but Faith is a bit more of a complicated thing.

Yes i agree, i think they should have also put a bit more compression into her story and just a tad less about Joseph.

Oh god..

I wanted to stab her in the face.

She was one of the worst considering she forced people to do things against their will and turned people into mindless zombies through drugs.

She deserved far worse than she got.

Umm... damn, that was... damn you! OK maybe, just maybe the looks had something to do with it. Also her voice. Especially her voice. But I did say something about killing girls in videogames, so maybe it's that.

But there was not much good left in her because reasons, so she needs a little treatment before she can even think something else than her bro.

Bliss is basically just another drug. I don't see how that is worse than tattooing and mutilating people alive, or brainwashing them to kill their friends while also torturing animals with experiments and so on. Granted, she did force Rook kill, but it's also Rook's fault (or your "friends" fault) for not taking/giving the medicene thing to get rid of the Bliss' influence.

Come to think about it, we never actually meet Faith in the game. All encounters with her occur in Rook's blissed-out head. Including the final fight and the aftermath. Real girls don't fly around shooting magic balls. They don't dissolve into white cloud when falling into a river. In fact, there is no river. When the bliss wears off, you are in a bunker. You never actually kill a girl, you kill an image projected into your head.
During Jacob's shooting gallery runs, you know this is Jacob messing with Rook's head. What many players don't realize is Faith encounters is game messing with PLAYER's head. All the staple cliche requisites for planting a feeling of guilt are right there, straight out of college psychology 101 textbook.

What is quite likely, Seeds decided they need this 'Faith' figurehead, so they grab a suitable female, pump her full of drugs so she does as told, and then replace when her brains are scrambled beyond usable. The current one, Rachel Jessop, is seemingly at least the third one to have such dubious 'honor'.

Kinda similar to Yuma in FC4, you see yourself in Shangri-La fighting Kalinag, but when you come to, there is Yuma's body at your feet. Here, you never get to know who or what you actually fought and how you ended up there.

And FC5 ending? Puh-lease. Whatever Ubisoft might say, those nukes got so plainly 'Seed's doing' written all over them it ain't funny.

It is definitely implied that she is real in the game and not just a "image in you head".
Everything supports she is real and not an illusion. If that was case nothing would really make any sense.
An illusion cant be in charge of a whole region.
There is notes written by and to Faith(all of them)
There is phone messages left by her where she also mentions Rachel.
You can talk to npc's that talks about her and that she was a drug user before Joseph took a shine to her.
You can also talk to Tracey at the prison who were close friends with Rachel before she got into the cult
At the start of the game when you go to arrest Joseph she is standing behind him with John and Jacob aswell without any bliss.

Also the whole place you fight her and the pond in which she succumbs can be found any time in the "real" world when you are not in the bliss.
The place has no name but it is close to her bunker(Faith's Gate), which also can be found in the real world when free roaming so the location is definitely there and it is happening.
Just not happening the way we see it because of the bliss like all the encounters with her. The "transported to the bunker" is just plot advancing.

In the fight she dosent for real hovers around, teleporting and shooting magic balls.
The bliss is just what makes you see the whole thing this way.
As is see it in reality she just runs around on the ground unarmed and ♥♥♥♥♥ with your head creating false illusions of herself and try to make the deputy succumb to the bliss, and the deputy just tripping balls and runs around trying to attack imagined illusions and shooting left and right(Maybe they dosent even shoot for real).
The damage we take is probably just the bliss itself damaging us.

Anyway in the "fight" with her you break her more and more out of her blissed head and she starts to remember and see things more clearly and her actual real mind(Rachel)starts more and more to speak (at least to an extent).
When her health bar turns empty and she screams "noooo!" is because we probably find her for real and then the cutscene starts, and she got some wounds and abrassions during the blissed out fight.

As is see it she is definitely real and not just encounters created to mess with your head.
This whole theory of her not being real however has crossed my mind in the start too, but there is not really anything that supports that plus it dosent really make any sense any how when we look at notes and stuff and the fact that she is in charge of this region.

Killed her without regrets with a shovel (I killed all lieutenants with shovel actually).
