BG1's "Tintin Gets Lost in the Amazon" Edges:

Close Range: The whip easily gets this for its multi-role capabilities - just like the bullwhip of Indiana Jones! In all seriousness though, the glass bottle as an improve weapon requires you to be real close but the whip does allow for a bit of range to come into play here

EDGE: Pitfall Harry

Mid Range: I actually have to give this to the table leg because unlike the whip, I doubt the boomerang is actually deadly, being able only to stun rather than kill whereas the leg, in spite of its improvised nature, can be deadly either as a bludgeoning or stabbing weapon

EDGE: Tin-Tin

Long Range: It may appear at first that the gun wins over the sling but then again Tin-Tin's gun has limited ammo whereas Harry can use whatever rocks he can find; and normally a sling wouldn't be accurate as a gun but given that Harry is one of those who is accurate with the sling, then this evens out with Tin-Tin's amazing level of accuracy with the gun; the only drawback the sling has is range given that 50ft < 50m but I wouldn't worry about it too much

EDGE: Even

Special: Again this is even since the explosive rocks are essentially a flashbang, an incendiary grenade and a frag grenade which is more than can be said for the simple explosion that the bazooka creates (although I guess both weapons can set the forest alight and send shards of whatever flying); however given that the explosive rocks only go as far as the sling goes (despite the rapid rate of fire), the bazooka wins out in range capabilities; and another counterpoint? it's easier to carry the rocks and the sling than it is to carry the launcher and the rockets

EDGE: Even

X-Factors: Average of 79.8 for Harry; Average of 76 for Tin-Tin

EDGE: Harry

Overall Winner: Gosh this is a close match... Tin-Tin is great close range fighter who also packs some rather deadly long range weapons so as to make the arsenal balanced whereas Harry is a better explorer with a much lighter array of weapons and some sharp skills; however in my opinion, while Harry has spent most of his time exploring in the depths of the jungles I doubt he has faced human enemies as much as Tin-Tin has - with the latter having gone up against serious criminal masterminds wherever he went (be it America or China or even San Theodoros) and surviving in hostile environments with very limited resources (such as the Himalayas or the Congo). In the end I would have to say that Tin-Tin gets the win here - sure he may lack in a few areas, but I say that his greater experience against human foes, his excellent unarmed and improvised combat skills and his skills in surviving against the odds under extreme misfortunes should help him win here
