Can't see the OG post but it would have been great if it was obvious that they hate each other but still has to work together. And maybe have some drama like they help each other and then Lara knock him out to get the prize. Like obviously not that cartoony but something like that

I mean...he groped her a bit in the Louvre and then got stabbed by a mutated plastic surgeon. Not the best relationship out there, but hey.

Let's be honest, Kurtis got such a small amount of screentime that it's kind of difficult to judge his character based on what we got. And some of us were more interested in telekinetic powers than his personality. 2003 was a different era for gaming.
He has only 3 scenes with Lara, The initial meeting at the Louvre, the Bio-dome, and the Boaz boss battle. Their scenes work well in fan music videos and such, but there is nothing to indicate that there is a relationship in AOD. They are both quite judgmental towards one another. "Name's Kurtis" "Lara, and this is business!"| "So you seek vengeance" triggered Kurtis:" JUSTICE!" Even during the Boaz boss battle, the emasculated Kurtis pushes Lara away when she tried to help. Kurtis pretty much served the same purpose as Janice, Carvier or Bouchard. He revealed the plot, and how the Nephilim can be killed, then disappeared. I don't mind him. |

@LateRaider willing to put back the original OP? Some of us do enjoy genuine discussion, although it can be easy to forget around here!

Kurtis felt as much a romantic intrest to Lara as Larson, Jean Yves, Zip or Jonah ever did; none at all.
I think he was meant to represent the average 00s gamer that would die to get close to Lara. They don't even have as much chemistry as people claim, she has much more chemistry with Larson in Anniversary for example. I'm not sure I'd care for a deeper romantic connection between them to be explored but I would sure have liked for them to have some more interactions in the game though. Maybe then he wouldn't feel like "that random dude that felt up Lara and then you play as him for a minute for some reason" type of character. |

I like how they did Carter Bell in Temple of Osiris. He's kind of a rival too Lara but they begrudgingly decide to work together. Kurtis and Lara are something similar in my head but the groping scenes make it too confusing (and creepy) xD |
