If you have a Marshall's around pop in. Found this little guy tonight and I know a few other members have as well!

I'm not a Funko guy but I love the Indy ones. Definitely a solid deal (16 bucks and some change).

Question about guns in the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Throughout the Gameplay trailers and footage, we see Indy use his fists, whip, and various objects to be used as melee weapons in combat. The only firearm shown so far is Indy's iconic revolver. This has me thinking are we able to pick up enemies guns or use any other guns in the game?

Indy throughout the movies has picked up and used enemy weapons against them, from the "Don't call me Junior" scene and the three Nazi's with one gun scenes from "The Last Crusade" to Indy stealing a Soviet gun and threatening Spalko in the Hanger. This isn't something that's out of character for Indy to do. It would also be really fun and satisfying mowing down Nazi's with their MP40's .

I played the Wolfenstein games by Machine Games and they absolutely excelled when it came to the guns and the gunplay in that game and I hope they bring it here to some extent, although likely not nearly as graphic or brutal.

I understand the game is meant to be a first-person action adventure game and not exactly a first person shooter, but this is something I hope is added to the game.

This can’t be Dietrich..surely.

They sure do look similar, even though his face should’ve melted off by this point in the timeline.

Voller's plan in Dial of Destiny is terrible.

Let me start by saying this. Voller is probably the worst main villain in the Indiana Jones franchise. His screen presence is underwhelming, his threat level is incompetent and he's played by a great actor who's completely wasted in this movie. But what really damages this character is his overarching plan to change history so the Nazis would win the war, which is terrible on paper. What I mean is even if Indy did nothing to stop him, Voller's plan is already doomed past the super-villain brainstorming phase and he practically set everything to backfire on himself. This has already been pointed out on Youtube, but now I'm going to explain it in detail here and hopefully lay out the context for why it doesn't work.

Now to give the character some leeway, his idea to time travel to win the war at all is not a problem and is reasonably logical. But how he planned to do it is where his goals fall apart. The first issue is why did Voller wait over 20 years after the war to hunt Indy and get the Dial of Destiny back. He would have no trouble tracking down both Indy and Basil Shaw since they are well known archeologists. I don't see a reason he had to wait this long. Maybe he needed the cover of helping the United States beat the Soviet Union to avoid being charged as a war criminal, but that doesn't excuse his laziness since he would have the resources of the U.S by that logic.

Speaking of which, it's really odd that Voller got some Americans to abandon their own lives and go with him to change history for the Nazi's benefit. While previous Indy villains Belloq, Donovan and Spalko had support from governments and Mola Ram had the black sleep of Kali to expand his cult. So this makes Voller the weakest Indy villain in terms of resources and personnel.

Next, Voller wouldn't be able to prove the Dial existed because he didn't have it, which further pushes the plot hole of why he didn't try to retrieve it again after the war. This poses issues with the implications of helping Voller. Even if he could've prayed on lonely people and promised them good positions in his reformed Nazi party after time traveling, his lack of proof of time traveling would make it hard to convince them.

So in the movie, Voller and his men manages to get the Dial only because of Indy stupidly leaving it in a college storage room instead of destroying it or putting it in a more secure area long ago. But here's where we really really get to Voller's strategy. When he captures Indy in the end of the movie (which he has no valid reason to keep him alive), he says he's gonna fly from Sicily to Munich on August 20th, 1939, which is less than 2 weeks before the Third Reich invades Poland and intends to kill who I'll refer to as silly mustache man to avoid demonetization, who will be looking for an update on the V1 rocket that I'm guessing Voller's past self was supposed to give the update on.

Voller plans to specifically have himself replace silly mustache man, except this would not happen at all because killing him with no witnesses would very difficult and Voller's only chance of getting bailed out is if his younger self recognizes him and vouches for him. But the most likely scenerio is Voller and his men would be put in a German prison and sentenced to death. Then someone like Heinrich Himmler would take over. However there's still one big problem Voller didn't account for, the buildup to the war.

Silly mustache man made a ton of mistakes during the preparation phase for the war, like underestimating how crucial naval warfare was and he had insufficient U-boats once the war started and Himmler still had to deal with Britain, France and the Soviet Union. So if Voller kills silly mustache man and is caught, the Nazis might win the war, but by only controlling Europe and would have to share with Italy and Japan while the Americans and Australia stay untouched.

If that scenerio were to happen, it's uncertain if the Nazis would be able to harden itself as a regime and it's not good if they only have less than 5 percent of the earth's land. So there's no way Voller could pull off this plan if we keep all of this in mind. Even if he could get away with killing silly mustache man without notice, he still has to take years to rise to the top himself and he would at best be second rate. Plus, Voller and his men might not have natural German citizenship since they're from the future, so they would have a very hard time fitting in.

The next problem is that Voller planned to time travel with outdated planes instead of using more modern vehicles or even anything like books or footage as evidence for silly mustache man's mistakes. He could get anything he needs since he's been associated with the U.S and helped them design rockets. He could even bring late 60s technology to the past, reverse engineer it and it would give the Nazis a huge advantage. But he doesn't any of this for whatever reason.

What's more is capturing Indy instead of killing him could've posed a massive risk to Voller's plan. What if Indy escaped exactly when Voller landed in Munich and made it out of Voller's grasp, which Indy can do? Then Indy would go to one of his friends in Germany, which he would have at that time since he got a flight out of Berlin pretty fast in Last Crusade, or even tell his younger self about Voller and both Indy variants would team up against Voller. Plus Indy would tell the Allies on how to win with his knowledge of the future, so Voller shouldn't have spared him.

So that's everything on why Voller's plan in Dial of Destiny doesn't work and he already doomed himself before the plot even began. He still could've planned to time travel if he made a better plan like traveling to a period like 1918 so he can build himself up from there, but he didn't consider that and it makes him an incompetent villain. I'm open to anything you have to say in the comments.

The recent deep dive for Great Circle mentioned "familiar faces". Who do you think we will see?

We already know Brody will be in the game but who else do you think we might end up seeing? Sallah seems obvious due to us visiting Giza.

I was wondering if they would show or just mention other characters such as Oxley, Mac, Jock, Renaldo, Basil; just to establish his long standing relationships with these people. I don't mean all of them but some.

Who do you think could show up?

Great Circle, Temple of Forbidden Eye

So I know we've seen this picture before. The gamelan trailer from today had still mentioned something along the lines of...the journal starts blank and fills out from your adventures. So I'm really hoping we do get to visit the Temple of the Forbidden in some form.

Went and looked up a decoder for the message for fun

"Beware The False Pathway That lead To death"

A few of the letters didn't seem to match, but this is what it was trying to say. Well, well know in a few weeks then

Why do you think Indy didn't cut a deal with the government or a pension or something so that he could at least live his golden years in luxury?

He probably fuckin alienated someone important.
