If you are afraid that Far Cry 3 cannot provide a long-term challenge here is a video that may enlighten you. During an interview at the GamesCom 2012, the producer of the game, Dan Hay, reported that during the adventure, from your hang glider, you can see plumes of smoke. These indicate the outposts where you will face various challenges, some more typical as freeing the area from enemies and other slightly more unusual such as hunt for a water buffalo or fight a shark.
