Alex Hutchinson says the devs toyed around with letting players give enemy camps back to Pagan Min

One scrapped Far Cry 4 idea sounded so cool, the open-world game's director thinks "that's where the fun of the whole genre might lie."

Far Cry is obviously famous for its scene chewing villains - some of which are flamboyant, some of which are menacing, all of which are plain fun - and Far Cry 4 is no different. But the series almost always puts us at odds with the bad guys, so an early idea for the fourquel saw players being able to choose where their loyalties lie.
