Why Can’t Indiana Jones Kill Dogs?

Indiana Jones is one of the most iconic characters in cinema history. He is a smart, charismatic and adventurous hero. The Great Circle game fills in the gaps in Indiana Jones’ story and deepens the character.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Is More Than an Action Game

Unlike what is expected, The Great Circle is not a pure action game. Although there are fighting and action scenes, stealth is at the forefront in areas where there are enemies. Indiana Jones has killed many people in his movies. But even for him, there is a line that should not be crossed.

In the game, some enemies patrol with dogs. Indiana Jones cannot harm these dogs. He cannot shoot or damage them. Instead, you have to sneak around them or scare them with a whip and a gun. There is a good reason for this.

If Indiana Jones started slaughtering dogs like Ellie in The Last of Us Part 2, it would not only be out of tune, but also contradict his love of dogs. In The Last Crusade, it is revealed that Indiana Jones’ real name is Henry Jones Jr., which he got from his father, and that he got the nickname “Indiana” from his childhood dog.

In the book Indiana Jones and the Dinosaur Eggs, Indy states that this dog was his best friend and that he has not been able to get over its death. In the game, he jokes that “I’m more of a dog person” after encountering a snake.

Considering all this, it makes sense that Indiana Jones would not harm a dog. He has a great love for his own dog and would be upset to harm another dog. It’s a respectful touch added by MachineGames, who previously narrated the moment of shooting a dog in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
