Viewing Single Trivia

1
An unused post-credits cutscene was discovered on a late beta build of the game dated to January 28, 2013, three months before the retail release. The cutscene re-contextualizes Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon as being "a game within a game", featuring a younger Vaas staring at TV static, and is seemingly connected to an achievement in the retail release titled "The Drug of the Nation". The achievement is unlocked by turning off all 32 TV sets throughout the game in order to "Decrypt the Hidden Message", though it's never revealed what this is. Prior to this discovery, some players theorized that the hidden message was actually telling players they wasted their time turning off TVs in a video game while staring at a TV expecting a reward, hence TVs being "the drug of the nation", and calling back to a popular monologue by Vaas from Far Cry 3 about the definition of insanity.
