The playable characters the player does not choose to play will become non-player characters who are friends of the player's character. All of the playable characters will be different types of mercenaries. In the sequel the player will be able to choose from eight different characters to play, each with a unique look and back story. But the game plays of the new game seems to take the path of S.T.A.L.K.E.R, or at least similar to it in some aspects. I liked the original Far Cry except few annoying parts - combating the mutant, inconvenient saving system, over the top voice acting and the depiction of main character.Įarly news on Far Cry 2 didn't excite me at all, especially with the original developer gone.
