Episode 4 *Spoiler* : Meet your mom at the wharf incident.

[Khanin.exe]

Is there a way to not encounter the *spoiler incident with your mom? I dont wanna punch Napoleon. He's my dude. And I'm running as fast as i can after Mortimer convo.(which is suck cause there's a coin in the front garden) still couldnt catch up the her and emily. so Is it matter of timer or i do need to punch Nap the dude out ? or is other factors :P

I think we need to click "pass" each time when Mortimer stops us.

Which Emily died? I haven't gone through the episode a second time yet, but I have a feeling that it affects how long you have...

Even so, I don't believe there has been a timed instance in the game thus far, beyond the conversations... So how long you have is likely determined by how many dialogue options you choose(ie interact with and question people as little as possible).

Replaying the chapter to find out if it is possible is going to be interesting....

What bilsantu said. In the end I killed her when I found out what she really was like.

Yea. The 'pass' method really work! I did questioning everything i can before. wonder is there a limit numbers of question that can be asked before Emily Gunned Sarah down.

Thank you bilsantu. I'm about to be bored hearing Louis Whaling
my playthrough i pick the right Emily as the immunity expose her

I didn't test everything but asking only 3 questions the first time and one the second time work for getting your fill of informations and still skipping what you want to skip.

[Annemie]

I pretty much exhausted Mortimer's dialogue tree (only not choosing one of the things to investigate) but did punch Napoleon and managed to save Sarah succesfully so punching him certainly seems like a route to ensure that outcome.

I hit Napoleon and passed on the questions. I was still able to do the Jacques Peru confrontation and read Mortimer's mind for the trait. I was to worried to go searching for items. I did that my first 2 attempts along with other things but I didn't feel like restarting the chapter a 3rd time.

It propably other factors that play into it. I talked Napoleon down and then talked to Mortimer were he ended up telling me the secret and gained a ability while still saving Sarah.

Gaining the ability is not connected to the questions that you ask or skip. Mortimer will tell you and you get the ability anyway. The questions that people mention skipping in order to save time are in the first parts of you dialogue with Mortimer. Then If Mr Peru is still alive will come in and you will have a confrontation with him. Finally after that, Mortimer will let you know of your new ability (you cannot skip that part). I guess if Mr Peru is not still alive the two parts of your interaction with Mortimer come together and it is less clear which part you can skip and which you cannot.

This i s a case of the game not really needing you to "hurry" up with getting to the Wharf. I answered napoleon questions instead of punching him, I asked every question to Mortimer, I also had the Peru encounter and saved him, and I still got to the wharf while there was a standoff happening.

[Hendumaica]

You can't waste time with both Napoleon and Mortimer. You need to skip one of them (being rude to Mort or punching Napo)

[criffyzou]

This is not true, you can have both the confrontation Napoléon and ask a few questions to Mortimer, just not everything. I think I upped my limit to 3 questions the first round, 2 the second, but I could remember wrong.
Also Peru being dead probably saved me time (sorry buddy).

You can talk with Bonaparte, get Mortimer's immunity - Conviction ( just ask one question and pass all the others ), win Peru confrontation, get trait from Mortimer, go back to Godoy to obtain information, even get the coin from the outside and STILL manage to make it to the wharf on time

I don't think that's possible or should not be possible anyway, otherwise what's considered "Wasting time?"
