Something I'm thinking about a lot as I play Indiana Jones is how perfectly the limitations on player agency overlap with the fantasy of being Indiana Jones.
Like, of course I can't pull out my gun and start blasting people in the Vatican, or use my whip on a nun. Indy wouldn't do those things.

You can't shoot or punch or kick a dog in this game. You fight them off when they bite you and you can scare them away with the sound of a whip crack.
Why? Because it would feel bad to shoot or punch or whip a dog as Indiana Jones.
Like, for whatever reason, it's delightful to eat a biscotti as Indiana Jones.
