You cannot discuss this game without mentioning Vaas Montenegro. The character, brought to life by Michael Mando, redefined what a video game villain could be. His monologue regarding the definition of insanity ("It's doing the same thing over and over again expecting things to change") has become gaming folklore. In the Complete Collection, the juxtaposition of Vaas’s chaotic energy against the serene, deadly beauty of the Rook Islands creates a tension that few modern games have managed to replicate.
