History WMG / FarCry5

He has enough time being trapped in the bunker with you nukes or not and he’s pretty pissed at the deputy and the people of Hope county for killing his siblings, so what better way to kill two bird with one stone: He gets the person he hates the most under his heel and the people of Hope county will mourn the loss of their hero. Also documents in the game have stated that their have been several Faiths before the recent one, so when she’s gone whats the harm of making one more?

This also carries on to the idea that ''the Project'' at Eden's gate and the player's faction in Warzone 2100 - simply ''the Project'' - are the same. The location in Montana puts them close enough to the Rockies (albeit 2100's project starts from the Pacific Northwest side). Any incongruities between the beliefs of the two projects can be explained by both three out of four of the family members are dead, and John Seed having since died for one reason or another, and left without a shepherd the flock started having to figure things out on their own. Either John was pretty vague on what to do after the collapse or indeed never said anything about what to do. After all, it stands to reason that the PEG would survive in spite of the player just because a bunch of them were prepped regardless if the canon ending actually IS what it says on the tin.

Notably, the US is winning, but the uplink network has been hacked, virused and literally raided to the point where it's no longer infallible, combined with Russia still having an immense nuclear stockpile and thinking the silo in Hope County is still active either due to bad intel or distrusting good intel. So, with nothing to lose, and with the JSF knocking on their door, the Russians decide to carry out a mass nuclear strike when it's clear this war backfired horribly on them. Some going for strategic targets (the nuke) and some going for targets just to maximize how much pain the US feels.

* There's absolutely no way they could've survived a fall from that height. During gameplay, you die instantly from much smaller heights, and there isn't even any blood underneath the deputy when they wake up. My assumption was that they stumbled into the area and passed out, maybe after watching someone else take the jump.

[[WMG: The reason the Deputy doesn't talk during the game? They're mute.]]
This doesn't necessarily mean they can't vocalize, just that for whatever reason (an injury in the line of duty?) they can't speak. Applying a bit of roleplaying to this theory, they may be communicating through body language, facial expression, and a combination of sign language and written notes. Just a thought.
* This has been a WMG in every single silent protagonist game since Half-Life, but I think it makes the least sense here. It's always encouraging to see disabled characters represented in games, but police work in real life is about 80% communication, so hiring a deputy with no voice would be equivalent to hiring a deputy with no legs. On the other hand, like with every other silent protagonist, it can probably be assumed that your character is indeed using hand gestures or unheard speech to communicate with others, since they behave as if you're speaking to them in some way.
* Remember that during the scene with John in the bunker, the Deputy states "Yes" when asked whether Hudson or the Deputy should atone first. Also, when fishing, the Deputy will cheer or laugh.

There are numerous other dead bodies scattered around the Impact area, but rook is no worse for wear. It's likely the most they fell is off a much smaller ledge or rock which could be survived without significant injury, but their drug addled mind and Faith's meddling painted it as a great height.

[[WMG: The deputy never jumped off the Fsther statue.]]

* The Deputy woke up atop the radio tower on Dutch's island, with [[WhatDidIDoLastNight no recollection of what actually went down.]]

* there was a shit-ton of gunfighting, both against Seed and against each other.

* Everyone involved (save for maybe Seed) somehow survived but [[LetUsNeverSpeakAgain refuse to talk about it.]]

Despite the fact you meet him, this could simply be just a director cameo and joke to his previous projects. But it makes sense when you think about it: Four Deputies go to arrest a dangerous cult leader, with the first twist being [[spoiler: he had moles on the outside that let him know of their coming]] and the fact that some of your boss fights are so insane (John Seed's Dogfight, Jacob's Sniper fight and Faith's Hallucinagenic battle) not to mention [[spoiler: the ending could just be him getting lazy and trying to make the story feel dark and depressing]]. Also, Who's to say that Guy Marvel isn't even his real name but just a fake one to make a parody of himself?

** Jossed - Word of god confirmed it as the cannon ending. The in-game radio messages also back it up.

** Has anyone actually waited out the timer in the nuke scene?

** Rewatching the ending again, the best way this theory can make sense is if everyone's bliss hallucination lines up with a vision of their apocalypse but to them its different. Like maybe to the player character, it's nuclear war and for Deputy Pratt, an eruption of Demons rising from the earth. Maybe as the characters experience that terror, it spreads to others and makes them see the scary shit they see in the hallucination

Joseph Seed was able to foresee [[spoiler: the nuclear holocaust in the bad ending]] because he has a piece of Eden. In every nearly every cut scene, Joseph can be seen holding a rosary. It appears as a religious symbol, much like some other notable pieces in the Assassins Creed franchise, such as the ankh and the staff used by Rodrigo Borgia as the Pope. The ability of foresight is also unique, as it isn't linked to any existing POE. This also may be how the Project at Edens Gate got their name and why Joseph believes he has spoken to god, as somebody who is ignorant of the precursors and the Templar conspiracy may not know any better. Seeing as Ubisoft has had previous crossovers between both Videogame/AssassinsCreed and Videogame/FarCry (namely in Videogame/FarCry3 's "Forgotten Experiment" DLC mission,) this might not be too much of a stretch.

The world turns on, amd it is only you who had gone insane in the end.

[[WMG: Jacob Seed is Jacob from Lost.]]

There is too much speculation for us to know for sure, at least without further clarification.

* Makes sense that those explosions aren't so much nukes but the Ancients breaking out of the earth, with the fire and smoke the effects of them breaking out of their underground prison. The Nuclear smoke would just be them making sure to add more fear for Main/ForTheEvulz

According to Willis, the President or a similarly powerful politician was being blackmailed by a Russian agent hiding among the Project Eden cult. Once Willis recovers the blackmail tape and reports to his superiors, they make the choice to nuke Hope County and wipe out the population to prevent any chance of whatever secret was on that tape being leaked.
