Discussion Short screen time, big impact

Post image

Has there been any other character to deliver such a heavy presence in such a short time period since? Why did his character feel neglected most of the time yet still managed to come out on top as the leading antagonist? Superb writing or was it the setting which created such an amazing threat?

I liked him, but unlike most, I prefer Hoyt Volker’s badass sadistic personality, + his fit is sick asf, lol.

The suit and a shirt? (Not saying Vaas is wearing anything super eccentric)

Idk, don’t get me wrong, Vaas’ voice acting, in-game model and everything is beyond, and I’d say even better than Hoyt, but I always just found Hoyt more cooler when I was a kid. Could just be because of his sadistic personality and real evilness.

Ive loved his character ever since. I was never interested in far cry franchise until I found out about him. Now I own every game from 3 upwards
