Preferred Path

[shinigamikitsune]

Having played the original years ago and now on steam, now I want to hear from fans - most to least, what's your favorite route in the game:

Fist, Wits, or Team?

For me It's Wits > Team > Fist.

While I do enjoy Sophia's and Indy's banter, I'm not a fan of some of the team route's puzzles, and overall I prefer Wit's puzzles. Fist is my least favorite as while they tried, the combat such as it is, isn't very satisfying.

Wits > Team > Fist.

The Wits path was also my favorite when it comes to the puzzles. Except for that car-chase and Moon-Stone-Search in Monte Carlo and this Hot-Air-Balloon-Ride

The Team path was the funniest path for me. There are a lot of Situation where you can make fun out of Sophia and Nur-Ab-Sal.

And on the Wits path I mostly used the Suckerpunch whenever possible. I even did not like the fights in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. But atleast this one got the easiest Hot-Air-Balloon-Section.

My favorite is the wits path, followed by the team path. I played those paths in that order, then YEARS after beating those two, I played the fists path. This game remains one of my favorites.

I love the team path because of the dialogues between Indy and Sophia, although I also prefer the puzzles of the wits path. I never tried the fists path though.

It's also one of my favorites, even probably my favorite point & clic, and there is no Nostalgia here, as I never played it when I was a kid.

Thanks guys, I'm playing it for the first time and while I was leaning towards wits, I was unsure. Having I mind that I most likely will only play this once, this was very useful :)

(I'm loving the game, but there are so many point and click I want to play, and life's short)

I really recommend playing all paths at least once, even the fists path. It has some nice sections in the labyrinth. Once you gain access to Atlantis, the paths "merge" again, so you don't have to repeat the last part of the game.

Btw: The path Sophia recommends depends on how you enter her lecture in New York (yes, there are 3 ways to get past Biff).

If you go for maximum Indie score, don't ever use the sucker punch. On the fists path, you have to beat up every foe (as well as finding the alternate options). I never made it, there are two extremely hard guards on Crete that I just could not defeat.
