    Far Cry 5 setting idea

    For the next Far Cry game, you should look at maybe setting it in North-East Queensland, Australia. Heaps of different environments and scenery and they also have Wallabies, Barracudas, Hornets, Magpies, Pelicans, Scorpions, Jellyfish, Skinks, Dolphins, Horses, Possums, Sharks, Cattle, Snakes, Insects, Kangaroos, Echidnas, Emus, Frilled-neck Lizards, Bats, Galahs, Goannas, Turtles, Whales, Groupers, Tarantulas, Koalas, Kookaburras, Manta Rays, Moray Eels, Platypus, Stingrays, Lorikeets, Foxes, Crabs, Crocodiles, Sea Snakes, Cassowaries and Eagles to name a few.

    Best Far Cry 5 Setting Idea Ever

    I Think The Best Far Cry 5 Setting Idea Ever Is Afghanistan Which There Will Be A Great Mountains Full Of Caves With A Lot Of Mujahedeen and Deserts With Animals Like Camels,Goats,Horses and Wild Animals Like Wolfs, Foxes and The Most Famous Villain Bin Laden as The Main Story Bad Gay and The Story Could Be Like A Us Marine Lost In Afghanistan and He Should Handle His Life In There By This Way The Place and The Story Will Be Unique
    By The Way I Could Give Them A Good Story If They Wish

    I think the best one would be similar to what El_mozalzel listed. A more populated yet roomy local set somewhere in the middle east would be more viable. You have multiple factions with different ideology to work with/against for control of the region, you have a wider variety of options to pull both populated cities or outpost towns out of, and they can pull a wide, if more edited from reality, variety of wildlife out of the region.

    I get the distinct impression that Far Cry 4 was meant to be a game drastically different from what was released. It seems more that you were originally intended to pick a faction from ether of the Golden Path members or you had the option to pick Min. Note that if you choose not to kill Min in ether of the two endings that it's really not mentioned after the fact. I think it was originally intended that Min living was supposed to be another ending and beginning all on its own. I think that the 10 min. ending was originally supposed to be an alternate beginning to the game with you overthrowing the Golden Path gridlock rather than overthrowing Min.

    That is the kind of setting the next game should really have. You get to make a clear and distinct choice on who to support and work for that end rather than effectively being written into two bad ends that you really don't get any real end alteration that the story acknowledges. The middle east would really give the option for very different endings in that case thanks to the area being in such upheaval in the last decade or two.

    I think Alaska would have potential as far as animals go, but the region is very desolate with very little in comparison actually occupied. What is occupied doesn't even have a very decent sized population ether. Any area being considered for games like this needs to have a decent enough human presence to at least act as a counter to your presence, needs a larger local to explore and take over, and it needs at least a moderately threatening animal populace to also counter your presence. Alaska would be nice if only for a greater set change, but it only really boasts some threatening animals. If they wished to run with Alaska, they'd have to go full blown Red Dawn to insert enough of a human threat to even make the average player blink.

    On another note to the issue, I have to question the mix of animal threats and human threats in the games. The predators in 3&4 were a bit over populated, but they weren't really a serious threat. 4's eagles take the cake for annoyance, but little more than that. I'd link one of my friend's screenshots on steam at this point if I was on my home comp, but it rather proves the point about the AI threat as far as that goes. He's literally sitting next to a tiger chilling while using no syringe.

    It's the human element in the game that really poses any kind of real threat in the game. I learned real quickly that in 4 the roads are a mental trap for unnecessary engagements. All the npc targets travel by road and you will encounter most targets there as such. Simply ditching the roads, if only for travel convenience, removes a large amount of threat in the game unto itself. I'd say that the other larger problem with the human targets is their weaponry and body armor unto itself. Far Cry 3 was woefully easy in part to being given a silenced sniper rifle out of the gate, but 4 wasn't much better in that the humans can't survive for jack s***. They can't apparently hit the wall of one of the fortresses when they're out and about, they appear to be beings made of paper who die in droves at the drop of a hat, and they seem to only carry the most basic of configurations in their weapons. Where are they random units that carry more than the basic ak47 for the majority of the game? The snipers are about the most tactical units that I regularly encountered and even they only end up using the most basic configuration to any of their rifles that they're spawned with. Giving human targets upgraded versions of the weapons in the next installment as a basic set would go a long way into actually making them into more of a threat.

    Overrun City Setting Idea?

    I was thinking of maybe an abandoned city (could be made up) and maybe some mountains surrounding it so that you could wingsuit into the city and weave throughout the buildings. Anyway, it would have broken buildings and vines in a lot of places. Nature would reclaim more places than others and it would be pretty cool. There could still be a lot of exotic animals if you wanted to. There could be people still living there that are less powerfull than the people who claim most of the city who would be the people who you would fight the whole time. This would also set up a great way to still have a slightly insane antagonist that lost it along with the city. and maybe the person that is the protaganist could be a reporter whose plan crashed or who got abandoned so they would be someone who wouldn't belong like in many Far Cry's. If possible the buildings could be completely explorable and you could get up skyscrapers that had actual detail. I don't know I guess overall it sounds a lot like the setting of I Am Legend. I want to know what you guys think, it would be a strange step for what they're used to but it could be cool. What do you guys think? Thanks for reading.

    My thought was similar to this for the middle east. In fact, Yemen is kind of primed for this kind of thing if you've been paying attention to world news on the place since Gadhafi was done away with. The country doesn't actually have a stable government and is largely controlled by a coalition of militia groups. Many of those groups are less than willing to be part of the larger group and have more of an area control. If you check out Anthony Bourdain's show Parts Unknown, you can see a small glimpse of one of these confrontations. If you count the shenanigans with ISIS then you also enter into a potential three or even four party struggle in the area.
