** 4: This game is the one that focuses on Wrong Side All Along: Pagan Min, the "King of Kyrat", is a psychopathic dictator whose primary source of income is the drug trade - and secondary source being slave labor. He has set up a cult of personality and orders the slaughter of entire towns for not perpetrating constant worship (or at least lip service). And he occasionally goes out into the wilderness and shoots up citizens and endangered species for kicks (Some people pay Pagan Min $200,000 to hunt a rhino). Unfortunately, each of the three possible leaders that can destroy his regime and take over will end up exaggerating one of these three properties to a logical extreme. If Amita takes over, she will turn Kyrat into a Drug-Communist state: she will end up forcing children to fight trained armies, increase the size of the local opium fields and their slave workers, and possibly kill an eight-year old kid, Bahdra, whose only crime was being declared the girl-pope. If Sabal takes over, he will turn Kyrat into a militant Theocracy, he will repress Kyrat's progress, declare Bahdra a goddess, and kill anyone who refused to worship his religion (or even paid lip service to another religion) for the past twenty years - which, considering Pagan Min's cult of personality ran for over twenty-five, is a fucking lot. If Ajay (the player character) takes over, he will prove himself a decent ruler, but a horrible sociopath, killing random bystanders and slaughtering entire species for fun and profit. Note that Ajay can choose if Amita or Sabal takes over, and then kill them and take over himself if he's horrified at what they do to Kyrat. And as some kind of insult, we find out that Mohan "Hero of Kyrat" Ghale is partly responsible for Kyrat's suffering - his wife fell in love with Pagan Min, she almost reformed him, but after years of betrayal and failure Mohan snapped, stormed the palace like a badass, and killed their love-child daughter. The end result was that a true warrior was responsible for Pagan Min's insanity and the country's downfall. The whole game is a jab at politics, where just because you fight hard and fight fair doesn't mean you're in the right, or fighting for the right people.

Normally, the villain or rival is trying to stop the hero ForTheEvulz or perhaps just out of selfishness. However, sometimes things are not what they seem. The [[ZenSurvivor mentor]] the party has come to trust throughout the story has been using them, or perhaps corrupting them, and the apparent BigBad was actually trying to save the world, and redeem them. Expect a HeroicBSOD or three.
Normally, this can go several ways. The character can either undergo a FaceHeelTurn or HeelFaceTurn, they can become [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone completely depressed]] and take their life, or they can refuse to believe the realization and continue helping their mentor as before. Alternatively, this may end up being subverted, and the villain is just trying to trick them by painting their favorite hero as a villain.
