Pretty much as the title reads, i'm just wondering if this has any impact on the final outcome. I'm playing through the game for my second round but i'm not game enough to experiment with the "skip" button yet on any of the puzzles.

My perception.

On easy and med level if you skip a puzzle, you lose one star for the card. On Hard, you lose two.

On Hard level, having only 2 stars on a card you choose to confront Ylli with, might weaken it enough to render it ineffective. So you might simply survive, instead of defeat him.

I've got no proof on that, but that's my .02.

That actually sounds about right. The good thing is, when I played this for the first time, I played on easy purely just to learn the story. I also remember a great deal of the puzzles and so far, on Challenge, they seem to be the same. So in the interests of having a good card score, i'll avoid the "skip" function.

Thanks, Jen!

on my first time around I skipped most of the puzzles so I think maybe I mostly had 2 stars. Didn't seem to make any difference at the end as long as you have the right cards

The second time I played I had 4 stars in each chapter & I got the same result.
