one thing i dont get about natla

[ChrisJ_938]

in the opening scene in new mexico, when natla burst out of the crystaline thing, she is in her "scorched" form, when she was frozen in her "godess" form. this always confused me cuz i thot that she wuz just suspended in animation, not harmed in any other way. or was it cuz of the explosion? and then this means that natla could reproduce skin and all that, which is, kinda...................... wierd.

[larson n natla]

yeah this was actually a mistake i think but either way she was the only god with skin and the pyramid can create life forms. only without skin maby she can produce skin her self or sumit like that.

Well, since she was awakened during a nuclear test who knows...

I thought she was awoken by the Scion crashing into the Earth, like the opening FMV of TR1 :confused:

To me it certainly looks like it's a nuclear test site that just so happens to be where Natla is imprisoned... :)

Scion crashing into earth?
Its the same thing as when Natla fell in the lava. It burned her skin off. She was in a huge nuclear explotion after all ;)

Well, something crashes into the Earth, it's round, and looks a little like the Scion! maybe I shouldn't try to think of the TR1 story, since the story has changed in TRA.

What happens in that first TR1 FMV? I'm confused :o

[Sara Croft]

Its a nuclear test explosion in both games. ;)

[tweetygwee]

Ahh... so what is that circular thing in TR1?

[Sara Croft]

Im not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean the explosion or that thing that flies and crashes in the ground after the explosion?

The thing that crashes. I thought it was the scion because I'd just never questioned it before. :o

No, its a part of Natla's prison ;)
Watch the "Natla's prison' cutscene and you will see that when she is entirely locked in under the ground the final plate that locked her down is the same as exploded away from Natla's prison (Triggering the prison to open) :)

[tweetygwee]

Thanks. Anyway sorry to jack the thread. I suppose the explosion is the reason why Natla is scorched.

Well they had to make her look like that too, cuz otherwise everybody would have already known right from the beginning who Natla is.. i mean of course most of us knew, but there are probably people out there who never played TR 1 before and had no idea..
