I agree with the bloodline tho, and I don't think Core would have allowed Murti to transform Lara into some kind of Captain America wannabe or superhuman. That's just one of the brainstorming ideas, not necessarily introduced in the game. |

As for the Nazi stuff in Natla's mines: It wouldn't make much sense if it was meant to be in TRAE. It would somewhat downplay Natla's obsession to reactivate the pyramid if it was revealed that she wasn't the one who created the tunnels but that she just stumbled across some Nazi mines/dig sites. But I also can't really believe that LucasArts wanted Core to make an Indiana Jones game out of TRAE. Back then Indy was Lara's biggest competitor in the gaming market and the similarities between TR I and the Indy-TRAE-hybrid would be too big. Quote:

I find the Lucasarts story plausible. Games do get retrofitted for other franchises. Mario 2 is probably the most famous example. |

But there isn't any real connection between the two and Lara's attitude toward him was mixed and confusing in TR4. Lara would push friends away in her funk, I think. She would gravitate to those who she has unfinished business with. We hardly know Jean Yves. We spent more time with Werner, and Lara and Werner have a twisted history unlike the case with Jean Yves. He would not have been a compelling choice. I could hardly relate to Lara wanting to clear her name of his murder. Yawn. I reckon the French Police would have a hard time proving Lara even knew who he was. Last edited by Niveus; 24-04-17 at 23:01. |

Knowing the Charles Cane in Chronicles was Jean-Yves when that was planned doesn't change your mind about the connection?

I think Jean-Yves would've been a much better fit than Von Croy. It never felt quite right with him.

With Vonvroy, you would have enough reason to think she did kill him. That's not the case for Yves. What would they even fight about?

Actually I think the idea to use Von Croy instead was much better. Jean was never an interesting enough person, Lara obviously cared about him but not the player. Von Croy on the other hand was a much more vivid character, with more background and better connection to Lara. They were friends and enemies at the same time, a very interesting situation. I am glad they decided to continue it in TRAOD instead of using Jean(even though they were forced to do so). Only too bad that they didn't do much to cover up the obvious swap of characters. There wasn't much needed to fix it. For example placing Werner in a hotel instead of dirty apartment would have changed a lot and it would also allow for some neat stealth gameplay.
