What does Vaas smell like besides blood, cigarettes, and gunpowder? Green tea and cosmetic cream. Don't laugh, I'm serious! (But giggling merrily deep down)

The memory is dedicated to his reflection on Citra, yet in one of the flashbacks, you can see Vaas applying eye cream in front of a mirror, saying, "I don't want to grow old. I don't want to." Given the context of the comment, I think it's a skincare product rather than just a concealer to cover up a bruise.

Next, he uses green tea-scented deodorant. And I confess, I'm a little surprised it's not a classic masculine scent like "sea breeze with a hint of toilet bowl cleaner."

If it seems to you that the significance (and meme) of this deodorant has been exaggerated by me, then there is a track called Green Tea Deodorant in the official soundtrack collection for Vaas: Insanity. The fact seemed funny to me. 

(Okay, I just like the fact that Vaas cares about self-care at all.)

P.S: By the way, in the same flashback, we suddenly learn that Vaas can cook “something Italian”...)

I'm looking at FAR CRY 6 and I think that if the developers hadn't tried to blow up the island map to gigantic proportions, it could have been a great return to the tropical setting of FAR CRY 3, adjusted for improved graphics. At least the beach scenery with palm trees and the jungle here are amazing.

In FAR CRY 5 I really liked that Hope County was full of iconic places that told the story of its residents or reflected game events. I really enjoyed using photo mode in search of interesting screenshot ideas.

Unfortunately, there is nothing memorable about the FC6's design except nature. Apparently, the developers did not have time to work out the quality of the locations due to the scale of the map. Abandoned farms, empty towns of the same type, and local businesses (gas stations, convenience stores, and beach hotels) are devoid of personality and almost unremarkable.

Vaas's notes from DLC Vaas: Insanity. The designers styled the notes to match each character’s personality, but Montenegro is the only one (!) who comments on finding his own notes. I heard six unique lines, considering there are only seven notes in the DLC.

The wording may seem sarcastic, but Michael Mando's voice acting is quite positive. I find it interesting that Vaas truly evaluates his writing in a positive way, praises himself for the volume of the text and condescendingly notes the presence of mistakes. This is surprising, because Montenegro's mind is quite critical of himself through the sarcastic remarks of Citra and Jason. However, when it comes to these notes, internal critics fall silent.

My headcanon is that Vaas, as a creative soul, might actually be drawn to reading or expressing himself through writing. How well he pulls it off (and how long his patience lasts) is, of course, another question entirely.
