The 2018 what are we playing thread

The choice of skipping the zepplin is the only alternative in the game, right?

Also can you skip the border patrols when you managed to shoot down all planes (which I never known anyone who could do that) ?

No, AFAIR you can skip the sequence with Hitler in Berlin.

Thatā€™s right.

Same here. :slight_smile:

You can skip stuff left and right: Every time you bribe a guard you donā€™t fight him etc.
But those are very short ones, unlike the huge branches in Indy4.
So you can easily use savegames and revert just to some minutes ago and redo it with another solution.

You have to play all three ways:

  • Start the airplane from airport and immediately crash (to get all IQ points at all checkpoints)
  • Start the airplane and shoot down all enemies (to get all IQ points from this section, good luck with that! I think there are 16 or so)
  • Go the Zeppelin route to get all IQ points there.

Edit: You have to shoot down 16 to get all IQ points, from an FAQ:

You get (5) IQ Points when you Shoot 6, 11 and 16 planes down.

In theory when you shoot down 19 planes you should be out of Germany, but I
have never got this far.

Ah yes, that means not having to retrieve the grail diary. I forgot how you do that, though? Do you forge it? Give them a counterfeit diary?

Uhm. Good question. I really canā€™t remember. AFAIR it has to do with the (fake) diary (that Indy drew as a kid and that you can find in Henryā€™s house).

But Iā€™m confident that @Nor_Treblig can give the solution. :slight_smile:

Oh no, I think that was it!

They could have added a line in that case about Indy outsmarting the Marx Brothers or something. Hehe. :laughing:

Not sure what the question is.

You have to give out the fake diary to get those IQ points.
But you also have to go to Berlin to let Hitler sign the real one for IQ points but then also the ā€œPassierscheinā€ which you need later for some soldier at a border.

The question is/was if and how you can skip the Hitler sequence. AFAIR you donā€™t have to go to Hitler and let him sign the/a book. Is this true?

You donā€™t have to go to Berlin if you give this machine gun guy the fake one.
You also donā€™t have to let the book signed when you are there.

When I played to game back then I didnā€™t know the movie and it didnā€™t even occurred to me to give him back the book.
You have to play this part in three ways to get all IQ points though, see my previous comment.

I played the demo version of Sol705 this morning. Iā€™m excited for the full version due next Spring.

I think itā€™s very original with a good artistic sensibility. The english translation had a few errors, but wasnā€™t too distracting.

I always think I spend much less time playing than most gamers I know :slightly_smiling_face: I only really play for a few hours at the weekend usually - sometimes the odd weeknight if Iā€™m alone. I have done better this year than last though, probably due to forum encouragement :wink:
