History Fridge / FarCry5

** This coincidentally helps explain why New Eden in ''VideoGame/FarCryNewDawn'' seems so committed to the primitivist lifestyle and eschewing "old world technology". [[spoiler:It's a lot easier and practical for Joseph Seed to push that angle when most of his supplies and preparations were thwarted if now blown up thanks to the Deputy.]]

* Jacob's actions are completely at odds with the rest of the cult as they want to save everyone but he is determined to "cull the herd" and "kill the weak." The thing is, Jacob is the only trained soldier in the group and he's also facing the only actual army (or at least militia) in the White Tails. Joseph is thus letting him play soldier against the only real threat to their plans.

* Why does John Seed have so much trouble getting the Deputy to say "Yes." All their confrontations involve him either trying to torture/mutilate them or threaten the same on their friends, and they keep ending with the Deputy being given windows to escape. In other words, [[VideoGame/FarCry3 he keeps doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result]].

* Jacob Seed became what he is because he was separated from his unit, starving for seven days, and thus forced to [[[[ImAHumanitarian cannibalize his comrade]], Miller. He tells you this story after he’s starved you for seven days, and has fed you a [[MysteryMeat mysterious]] kind of meat...

* Thought John Seed was less threatening than his siblings simply because he never resorts to direct mind control on the Deputy? Wrong! He still forces the Deputy to say "Yes".

* Why The Deputy don't use any kind of knife unlike Jason Brody, Ajay or the Captain? Because he is a police officers and they don't use knives as offensive weapons.

* Inverted with the "Resist" ending. [[spoiler:While it sucks the Deputy has been captured by Joseph Seed and everybody died, the simple fact is that he/she has already been captured by the Seeds 5-6 times already and managed to escape every single time. As Vaas would say, what is the definition of insanity?]]

*** On the bright side, assuming a casual paradox preventing the other pressing issue, there is one community where Dep can live safely because everyone gets that problem, and live like a god themself after saving everyone.

* The Deputy's trigger song playing on the radio during the "Walk Away" ending is on the surface a major ContrivedCoincidence. But remember that during the opening section of the game Dutch mentions how the cult has either cut or taken control of phone lines and radio communications. Chances are that Joseph, having heard from Jacob about his progress in brainwashing the Deputy, specifically had that song broadcast so it could set of the Deputy, preventing them from getting reinforcements while eliminating his biggest threat in the process.

* Jacob has fewer resistance points than his siblings, why? because he's the only one who actually recognises the Deputy as a threat and is more willing to fight them than John and Faith. [[spoiler:His plans are also more strategic, as he brainwashes the Deputy into killing Eli and wants to tie up the last loose end by killing the Deputy afterwards.]] From a meta-perspective, the reason that the Whitetail Mountains requires fewer points is likely due to the relatively low number of outposts present in the area, no doubt due to the region's steep geography, making it more difficult to establish properties there.

** Notable fact, this takes place in the same universe as ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed''. You, thus, make a LeapOfFaith. Becomes FridgeHorror when you realize this was [[DrivenToSuicide Faith trying to get you to murder yourself]] [[BlackComedy and that she has set up a big Eden's Gate cross at the bottom like a bullseye.]]
