Far Cry 3 on Character Development and Personal Narratives

Far Cry 3 will be a shooter like no other–at least in terms of the narrative it has to offer.

The player will take on a role of a character who will share some strong parallels with the game’s main villain, Vaas.

“When you start to look at Vaas and other characters, and you start to see similarities between them and what you’re doing, that’s when the inner conflict starts,” said the game’s producer Dan Hay in a new interview with CVG.

The player character, he says, will develop over the course of the story and will be changed by the entire experience, evolving with each event.

“The conflict starts when the island has exacted its pound of flesh from you. You see it when you start getting those tattoos, which tell a bunch of stories about what you’ve seen and how you’ve played the game. And you look at them and start to see more similarities between the person or people that you hate, than the person you were at the beginning.”

Far Cry 3 will be out for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in November.
