History TearJerker / FarCry5

* If you speak to Deputy Hudson in Falls' End after rescuing her from John's bunker, she'll tell a story about how [[DarkAndTroubledPast her partner was murdered during a routine patrol after pulling over a speeding truck]]. But what makes the tale all the more chilling is [[{{Mundanger}} how detailed and realistic it is]]. From the fact that she would tend to ignore speeders, but her partner was a ByTheBookCop who insisted on stopping the trick, to Hudson spilling a chocolate milkshake over herself as she scrambled to get out of the cruiser after hearing gunshots, to watching as her partner bled out waiting on an ambulance to arrive, [[MyGreatestFailure it's clear it affected her deeply]].

* Joseph Seed revealing that, once upon a time, he was once an ordinary married man with a child on the way. That is, until the accident that killed his wife, at which point something inside him just... snapped. He winds up suffocating his newborn child, because he's convinced that God ''wants'' him to go through suffering in order to become stronger.

*** Faith is actually Rachel, Tracey's former friend, which makes her request to kill her all the more heartbreaking. The "Collapse" DLC in VideoGame/FarCry6 heavily implies that her claims that Joseph manipulated and brainwashed her may have actually been true.

* The endings. No matter what you do, whether you walk away and leave the resistance to their fate, or you opt to resist against Joseph and finally arrest him, absolutely nothing goes as planned and not a single friend likely survives. Even worse, resisting causes [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the apocalypse to break out at the worst time possible.]] Every gorgeous location, interesting character, everything is incinerated in the blasts. At least the Walk Away ending is a bit more ambiguous, and everything's fine in the post-game no matter which ending you pick. And while ''VideoGame/FarCryNewDawn'' [[CuttingOffTheBranches is set 17 years after the Resist ending]], nature is thriving and people, including quite a few of your old buddies, are still alive and rebuilding. [[spoiler: Not to mention Joseph finally gets what he deserves.]]

* Finish off Jacob Seed and you'll save Deputy Pratt, who is absolutely broken by Jacob. By the third and final time he's back on your team, you may as well have recruited Jacob with a better moral compass. He is a broken man who will desperately need therapy after the hell he's endured. [[spoiler: Rendered moot anyways, as the Deputy's truck hits the tree and all the cops the Deputy saved are killed in the accident, with Joseph Seed and the Deputy are the only survivors.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nO4HJN8wTo The very first intro of the game]]. It gives off this sad tone of desolation and lack of hope, which fits Hope County very well before the arrival of the Deputy.
