    Far Cry 6 posed this kind of question.

    The evil dictator has a Canadian politician backing him. Your rebels corner him on a ship as he tries to flee. Cowering, he shouts to you from a satphone: He made a deal with one of the rebel leaders. A HUGE payout, in exchange he leaves the conflict alive. Your friend even insists to you over the phone you should take the deal.

    As noble and principled as it would seem to reject the money, there’s another look: That money could get medicine, weapons, a thousand things that could quintuple the rebellion’s chance of success, well beyond the simple idea of buying a yacht and clinking glasses.

    In my playthrough, I took the money. It felt like a murky issue, admittedly. I also don’t know how effectively Melinda has actually followed through on charity.
