First you have to sneak into the Church (which was funded by a drug cartel) to hack their computer to play a video of evidence showing that El Cardenal was involved in the trafficking of children, so his whole congregation can see how much of scumbag he is. Navigating the extravagant church grounds is challenging enough to keep you focused.
Then he tries to escape like any good religious leader guilty of participating in a child slavery ring would do. Unfortunately I always seem to fail the mission because watching his white robes flutter in the wind after I push him off of one of the many stunningly-rendered cliffsides in the game is a lot more fun than handing him over to someone else to be treated more pleasantly.
Far Cry 5's setting would be the perfect place to further examine such situations. What do guys think?
I think FC has started too rely to heavily on the outposts providing off-mission gameplay. I love the outposts, they're still one of the highlights of the game, and especially in 4 when you could coop them, but I think they should still make side-missions with narrative elements that tell stories separate from the campaign narrative. That beings said, I can fully see a mission similar to this one having a place in the game. Exposing to their followers the truth about the Seed's wrong doings would be a very appropriate tactic. I think also that the fact you are shooting people who were formerly friends & neighbors of your allies is another topic that should be addressed in the game as there is a wealth of narrative potential there as well.
