i know that it wouldn't go with storyline in AOD :rolleyes: but i always loved to play young Lara-like in TR4 and TRC and i think it would be great if that would be included in future TR games http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif but,like i said i don't think that there would be any way to put this in because of a storyline(that i personally don't like very much http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/redface.gif ...just to mention...) :cool:
If I was to play as young Lara I would want her to carry at least a dagger or knife(or stick) or something she can defend herself with. I get so nervous and feel really unsafe when she's not carrying weapons or something for use of defense

I'm not sure if I'd like to play as young Lara again... But yes, if she has a dagger or a knife, it would be interesting, as she could face more serious and dangerous enemies ;)
I don't think young Lara should have any weapons... She could do some hand2hand combat though...

the past tomb raider games are perfect... about lara ... the young lara .. i think they could include her in some kind of dream....facing one of her biggest fears... like if the sleeper could have hipnotized her and she is diyng indreams.. so youll have to play with her as a child... and then we could see wich are the fearest horror of her mind... we could fight them... and then we could understand what happened in the end of tomb for... like playing as a child in the end of tomb for, right after von cory tries to give her his hand...
she could change her clothes... staying in line but changed, and she could use some weapons... a knife, a dagger, but most important of all, her terrible mind... she should act as a groun up girl.. not as a teen

Maybe young Lara can use airsoft guns.

playing as young lara was good, it focused more on the puzzles and the locations rather than the enemies. its supposed to make you nervous, young lara gets scared more and the levels you were playing in were supposed to be scary-Black Isle-ghosts and skeletons. http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif young lara should return http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
I think you are right there Voncroy81,
I have to agree with you. ;) :D
Young Lara should not have weapons. It would be quite wrong to to put her into any situation which required her to kill something :(

But, when she was young she DID kill something. Remember in TR5 when she thrw the iron clapper and KILLED those poor little imps? She could have a sling shot or something but I agree she shouldn't have guns. Maybe a BB gun.
I think that if they ever make another tomb raider game with young Lara, you should be able to interact more with the environment. Like she could maybe break a branch off of a tree just to help her at least, SLIGHTLY defend herself. Wadda ya think?
She should at least be able to (like said above) break off a branch or something so she'd have a stick to defend herself with. Running around without any means of prodection is scary!
Then again, maybe that's one of the reason the adult Lara doesn't ever leave home without a weapon... :rolleyes:

She doesn't kill them with the clapper, she just sends them away. Only those that come in contact with it, after she throws it down, disappear.

yeah it would be a little bit weird to see sixteen years old Lara stab someone with a knife...of walking around with a dagger...

Hand to hand combat, then! http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
Those spooky Irish Islands made me feel like walking around Silent Hill with no ammo and a scratch away from death! :(

Hand to Hand might be nice, but honestly how much power do you think an untrained 16yo girl be able to do?
remember when Lara was young she was inquisitive but she didn't get serious about training and such until she was older.
think about it the mansion is still her parents at that point; so she could have some minor gym equippments but they'd want her to be a true lady and true ladies don't have bulging biceps ;)
if they brought back a young Lara, it should be as like a dream; like she's on a dig with Von Croy and the mission she is currently on has some relivance to the old one.
she shouldn't have any real weapons, but i think she should be given the ability to create "traps" give you a more thinking mans world so to speak.
i think how the Ireland Chronicle was done was superb, and with a more advanced engine they should be able to extend on the fact that Lara is a weak lil teenager who's too curious for her own good. You should be scared playing and worried about enemies that can kill you because as a teen she would be... she hasn't had years of practice and the supernatural would spook most hardened grown guys let alone a sheltered teen. ^_^
the idea of the dream though would be to give you clues for what to look for when you return to the site. And i think what would be better is if traps you set when you were a teen should be worn with age and in the same places.
would really give you a feel that time has passed.
