About Video Game Sophistry:
Video Game Sophistry is an opportunity to celebrate the creators and the artistry found in Video Games. I believe that Games are the most effective medium from experiencing another world, and another way to live. Expect to see a series of videos showcasing the narratives hidden in every game, interviews with game developers, along with our bench mark weekly podcast, Dialogue Wheel.
Andy Borkowski started this program nearly 10 years ago and, in that time, it has changed from a simple KZbin show, to a radio show, a tv show and now once again a KZbin destination. Welcome to VGS.

Where was judge when new Eden was burning.

[@Kennnnyyy]

I think that this isn't a mistake. Remember the beginning of Far Cry 5, you could arrest Joseph, or not arrest him then wait for 10 mins or 20 then a secret ending will be shown. An ending where the sheriff guy (forgot his name) and rook leave the church without arresting Joseph.

what if things had ended this way? When Joseph realizes his mistakes he begs the player to kill him. If the player refuses (and has the judge/rook as a follower) Joseph will still drop to his knees. He starts yelling “Release me!” The player backs up, still not killing him. Suddenly a gunshot goes off. Joseph, looks down at the entry wound. Both he and the player look to see the Judge has killed him. Without saying anything, the Judge simply turns around, drops his mask on the floor, and keeps walking away. So it leaves it open to interpretation if Rook came to his senses/ avenged his fellow officers. If anyone was justified to kill the father, it was rook.

Just like many of the similar brainwashed people he indiscriminately killed in far cry 5 who were just coerced or brainwashed to adhere to a viewpoint aswell... Faith is a prime example to that even on a fairly worse level and is clearly as evident brainwashed and groomed into it as a vulnerable naive minded teenager and she is clearly affected and "dependent" on the the bliss herself and traumatized aswell, but yet the deputy still murder a crying young traumatized girl begging for mercy without showing any desire to help like ANY good person would do. If she deserves to die then the deputy and other people exposed to brainwashing also deserves to die based on the same logic otherwise it is insanely biased. ANY good person should be able to understand that people may be caught up on the "evil path" and brainwashed and thus prefer to help and redeem the person(especially if the person basically breaks down and shows redeeming qualities) EVEN tho the person is responsible for bad things but all in all it is not like the deputy shows much of such mindset at all throughout the game which is why the Judge couldn't fit better on them. Karma is a bitch... "They must learn what it is to be judged as they have judged" This is the point of the Judge...

The Vinkler , honestly I wish there was some DLC where you play a broken Deputy/Rook as the Judge and they’d steer the gameplay and objectives as you’re doing things for New Eden/Joseph (like Bioshock how you were being unwittingly controlled by Fontaine) but more experiences in the world and interacting with people, reading notes from past characters like Tracey, and visiting familiar locations from Far Cry 5 in New Dawn help the Rook get their memory/their personality and self back.

See, that happened but I don't think that was the reason. Basically Joseph and Rook's worlds were destroyed (figuratively and literally) Joseph was shown a vision of the apocalypse and it came to pass. As such he HAD to believe that EVERYTHING was god's plan, INCLUDING Rook coming to try and stop him and kill his followers. So it's less of Rook influencing him, and Joseph trying to rationalize what happened with his faith.

I think thats a bit correct and a bit not. I think the dep simply got indoctrinated by Joseph how all of it was his fault, which it kinda was, how he is Pride and knows only violence and all that and dep became just that a spirit of violence with no will of his own because last time he had free will he got most of his friends killed. Joseph probs took the 17 years to think about his sins as well, he was sad his family is gone but I think he came to understand why "god" wanted his family to die because they were torturing ppl to follow them and if you push too hard you will be pushed back. I think this is why Joseph became somewhat good because he figured if he didnt then another Rook would've been created and anger God once more.

the fact that i loved using bow my entire playthrough made dis so much accurate lmao

[@wos1223]

My problem with this is the same problem I had with the brainwashing plot in FC5... that being that Rook is not a character. What I mean by this is that the Rook (or Dep.) is a self-insert of the player with no personality or traits of their own. Instead of a Jason Brody type of character where we are playing as them and experiencing the story with them, Rook is more like a Skyrim or Fallout protagonist where we project our own personality and choices onto them and in effect have them play as us (hence why they have no name or voice). The problem is that at certain points both FC5 and New Dawn take away control and force us to do things that we would never do. In 5 it was killing Eli as while they basically let us choose to kill or spare most other characters (or had them die regardless of our actions) we were forced to go through with shooting him even though it was blatantly obvious we were being brainwashed and had been forced to storm the Wolf's den. If we had been privy to Rooks thoughts like we were for AJ and Jason then maybe we could rationalize how they had been broken, but instead we're left with a game that takes away all of your agency over a character you yourself created. This issue is compounded in New dawn as The Judge most likely bears no resemblance to the version of The Deputy you created. They have yet again taken away the agency of the player and forced your avatar in this world to do/become something you are not. In a better written game this could actually work as a commentary on player agency and our actions in a virtual world (think Spec-ops the Line) but the clumsy and half-assed execution just made the whole thing feel forced and vaguely insulting.

[@mattsopiratoso790]

They really fucked up on the Eli part, they bothered creating new endings, why not a fucking choice!? It wouldn't change the story so much, are they that much of a sloth? I literally was ultra pumped up of playing the game again thinking i could fix some of my choices... A real shame and lost opportunity really... Sloppy work Ubisoft.

at 10:34 Hurk doesn't have tattoos on his arms. But in farcry 4 he said he got's one tattoo on his arm for jason, and one for the Jackal.

The ending to Far Cry 5, being locked in the bunker with Joseph made me realize Far Cry 5 would work very very well as a horror game

[@bobsaidhi3theking307]

This a sad Rook did what he could to save billions of life's for his own.

[@Legnalious]

It would've been cool if somehow the devs could know how you customized your character in FC5 with your Ubisoft account or whatever and "ported" over the face instead of using the mask.

[@mattsopiratoso790]

True! but i like the outfit it uses, not because it's edgy but because it fits the judge's mind "I fucked up, i don't want anyone to see the monster i am."

Look how they’ve massacred my boy, where’s the shotgun wielding, guided rocket shooting, helicopter over killing, pure American savior that I knew in far cry 5? He’s practically become a slave to the Joseph seed! ;-;

[@Jake-rj6ql]

Yeah super whack

[@chaotic_friendly8434]

Judge fascinates and terrifies me. He is so quite and sneaky and I love him for that, but. He scares me. One one occasion, Judge had been knocked down and taken back to the roster, and I healed him up and junk and brought him right back. But As I was looking around for him I saw him down the road, in an open clearing just staring at me. I look away than back at him and he has TELEPORTED right infront of ME! Than, everytime when were just, running through the forest, and we stop to get air, he stands right behind me and "*heh*" in my ear. Scares me everytime

[@silentspade310]

Same happened to me man!

[@JackWithASnack]

HEH

[@Peter1point2]

Despite how he said absolutely nothing at all in both far cry 5 and new dawn, yet left such an impact to have had an outfit based off of him appear in every new far cry game since 5 says a lot on how Ubisoft can create a character from other peoples perspectives and basically just hand movements.

[@maxvolume72]

It'd be cool if sheriff Whitehorse was in the game, his interactions with rook would be really cool

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

Unfortunately, he, Hudson, and Pratt all died during the apocalypse. Earl Whitehorse in particular went right through the windshield of the truck, so he is 100% dead. The rest either broke their necks against the impact or perished in the flames.

[@baltoendocrine9783]

The judge or rook is my favorite companion, sad story, but he's a badass character and still alive at least

[@Luke-dr1hd]

I was too busy theorizing that the judge could have been Joseph or maybe even one of the Seeds that I was mind blown when I found out who it was. I knew that New Dawn would give some sort of hint of what happened to the Dep, but I didnt expect that.

[@pawtrolling]

Even 2 years after finishing farcry 5 I heard only you come in the TV at 3am for some classic music cd advert, and my anxiety hit the roof, heard was pounding in my chest, I was mega alert....... that's what that bloody game did to me. Fantastic writing though.

I've read in one of the notes, that the cult has been around since 2009 but they were super small and they had no guns and that only Joseph was pretty much leading at the start until he managed to get his brothers and sister to join.
