TW: Possible mentions of abuse and death, possible violent behavior, possible threats, the cult isn't here but the trauma is, it's Joseph.

Location: In the yard of the church in Fall's End.

Context: The annual Hope County food time is here and that means Pastor Jerome has turned the church yard into the donation area. Joseph Seed has come to help, always being one to give back where he can.

Au Explained [Story Spoilers for Far Cry 5]

Came up with this a while ago. In this universe, Joseph never created the cult. Everything is largely the same up until Joseph's wife got into the accident. Upon hearing the voice tell him about the end of the world. When the voice demands he kill his newborn as a sign of 'faith', Joseph can't.

While he's still religious, he believes that the voice he occasionally hears is a demon pretending to be God, trying to lead him astray.

Joseph names his daughter Hannah and they move back to Rome, Georgia. Some time in the following years, he reunites with his brothers. Seeing that Rome holds too many painful memories, they move to Hope County. Joseph still meets Rachel and takes her into his family, seeing that she needs a proper home.

Jacob is still a veteran, currently working as a repairman. Joseph still has his own church but is a normal preacher and not a cult leader, John is still a lawyer, Faith goes by Rachel and is currently taking classes online and hoping to get a degree in horticulture.
