Check Out These Early Character Designs For Far Cry 3's Vaas

Posted on Thursday, January 10 @ 12:14:43 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
Far Cry 3's Vaas is easily one of the most memorable video game characters of last year, and believe it or not, it took Ubisoft Montreal several attempts to get the look of this villainous character just right. 

In fact, executive producer Dan Hay told IGN flat out, “We absolutely didn’t get it right on the first go.” This statement couldn't be more true, and the following images are evidence to that fact.

Here's a more brutish, husky take on the character, sporting a nose ring and one working eye. At this point, he was called Bull. I think you can guess why.


 
Later, the character evolved into Pyro, a “volatile, explosive, rage-filled” villain, who bears his own share of physical deformities. Again, the name should be self-explanatory.



And finally, the studio eventually settled on Vaas, who, while not quite as physically unsettling as previous iterations, proved to be incredibly intimidating and disturbing in his own right.



I must say, I think they made the right choice. Agree? Let us know in the comments below.

    Haha. In the second one, his cocktail is lit, but in the third one he's all, "wait, why am I wasting alcohol?"

    I look forward to killing him soon!

    VAAS is the physical embodiment of every negative stereotype you've ever heard about a Mexican/Hispanic drug dealer, gang banger or otherwise criminal individual.

    The way the game killed him off sucked. He was a far more important character than that bargain basement Tony Montana.

    I am so done with the trippy drug, enlightenment episodes the same has. The game is so fast until you get to the story, where it comes to a stand still where I usually take a back room break.
    I agree Vaas death was weak, I was so unsure the whole time if it was pretend or not.

    I already beat the game, but HEY! No spoilers! Especially for a game with very little narrative...

    I also think it's absolutely ridiculous the relationship between Vaas and Citra. Supposedly Citra, his sister, tried to have an incestuous relationship with Vaas to breed a perfect warrior. For whatever reason, he turned her down (would you turn her down???) and decides to war with her people and keeps talking about wanting to kill her.

    Some sibling relationship huh?

    I like Vaas as well. I'm one of those people who more often than not roots for the bad guy in movies. Haven't finished the game yet, but I look forward to seeing more of him.

    Liked Vaas but found Hoyt to be disappointing after all the buildup. "You think Vaas is crazy, Hoyt's a demon..." Really? Seems like your average smug bad guy. I think it should have been the other way around, with Hoyt taking orders from Vaas.
