King pagan min

Just finishing the game, I was astonished by Pagan Min character. I was expecting another mindless Hoyt like warlord who would be upset about bringing everything down, but instead I found a sad, broken man countering his sorrow with insanity via taking his frustration over Kyrat, waiting calmly at the dinner table. He wasnt afraid to die at all.

Have a look at Vaas for example, had great potential yet he was executed so poorly he simply stayed as a "The cool dude in game box". I had respect fro him in FC3 trailers, but in-game he had the persona of a wooden plank and a bulldog combined. "Vaas go there, Vaas do that!" they told him and he nodded. What happened to his insanity? I wasnt satisfied with neither his death nor his portroyal in-game. Pagan on the other hand had the feeling. He wasnt even evil, he was a true necessary evil. He even admitted that he went as a different man after entering his daughters tomb.

I never felt so sad and desperate in any game at its final moments. I went with Sabal and slowly watch him turn out to be a small scale Al Quadia jihadist. With all desperation I went to Pagan and spared his life. I wanted him to take the reins back but he passed his legacy to me. I watched the opposite version as Amita and she became a half-a** warlord. I didnt even try killing Pagan because it felt so pointless. In the end, I realized that Pagan was the actual thing that Kyrat truly deserves with leaders like Amita and Sabal. Maybe his ways were harsh, but he was a different man before. Its the pure Anti-AssassinsCreed storyline I believe,

Golden Path screwed the country in first place via ruining Ishiwari's life and killing off Lakshamana which probably caused Pagan to hate his people each passing day. His anger and frustration, seeing them as "monkeys throwing sh**t at each other" pretty much proves that to me.

Besides, I dont think we have any proof about Pagan being a fair ruler before madness consumed him. I believe the real villain was Mohan Ghale. He just couldnt accept the fact that his rebellion was a disgusie for someone from Chinese triad, an outsider, to install his own kingdom by slaying another tyrant in front of him. He was so angry of being a tool, he used rebellion and freedom tunes to manipulate Kyrat to extract his own revenge, even went as far to use his wife and slaughter a child because his failures were eating him inside out.

What do you think?

First off Sir, congrats on the well though out discussion. I was given a copy of Far Cry 4 over the holidays (non-steam) version, and I found Pagan Min to be one of the most memorable characters. I hope a future dlc will allow the players to join Pagan's side. Nevertheless, I found the more time I spent with Sabal or Amita, the less I beleived in their ideas and their ability to lead Kyrat. With that said, I ended the game by siding with Sabal, sparing Amita, sparing Pagan, then finding Sabal at the temple post-credits and placing a .45 round in him after I witnessed him killing the citizens. The only question I really have left is, which ending is canon and will we find Pagan Min in a future game?

I would love to see a DLC where Pagan Min returns to find our character broken by the realities of our choices. The country has fallen to ♥♥♥♥ because we killed both of the leaders of the Golden Path. (My idea of the true ending. We saw the true face of our chosen leader and killed them. Or at least that is the way I did it.)

After our moment of rage we fell back to our home and closed out the world not knowing what to do or how to repent for and repair all the damage our actions have caused. Bhadra is gone ether because Amita banished her or because she fled when you shot Sabal. As you wallow in your self pity the door burst open to reveal Pagan Min, "What are you doing my boy? I hand you a kingdom and you let it fall apart and get invaded? No that won't do." Then you go on an adventure to retake Kyrat and perhaps rescue Bhadra where ever she is.

Might not be a perfect idea or even well written but I would love to play it and perhaps see a slight redemption for a two men driven mad by tragedy and circumstance.

I fail to see true evil in Pagan Min . in fact, I see evil in Amita and Sabal. Pagan Min was willing to gift Ajay Ghale the Kingdom of Kyrat just because Min loved Ajay's mother . so much that, Min was willing to ignore the fact Ajay Ghale is the son of the man who murdered Min's daughter - in this sense, Pagan Min was a great man.

On the other hand, Amita was nothing more than a drug-lord . whilst Sabal was no different from those self-righteous Talibans. The Golden Path . well, in all yak-shayt, they were not fighting for freedom as they so claimed . it was a racial war: Kyrati just not willing to accept an outsider to be their king . Pagan Min might not be a Kyrati but, Min surely has the wisdom and tolerance as well as love of a king.

Bonjour !

I like things, think about them a lot and overanalyze everything. Sometimes I draw. What is adulthood? If you’re looking for me, I’m probably somewhere crying about fictional things and/or procrastinating.

They encounter a talking rabbit named Miskit, a robotic bunny named Cogsley, and a giant mechanical spider known as a Guardian. They also discover that their amulet has a connection to a powerful, evil elf named Max Griffin. The Amulet series is known for its stunning artwork and engrossing storyline.
