i think the biggest potential that was lost in this trilogy was roth, and they could’ve killed someone else instead of him, it would make much more sense to follow lara in Rise and Shadow tbh, he was well trained too, jonah was just a cook and then suddenly became a professional ice climber, and killed some guys in SOTTR if i remember correctly?

Jonah was in the army before being a cook, though. He has training and is not that unreasonable for him to go adventuring as well. As much sense as Lara considering where in her career she was at the time of both RotTR and SotTR.

What always made me laugh is that Rourke and Dominguez want Lara dead. Rourke shoots Unaratu (no idea how to spell her name), sends in his goons and runs away. He has a clear shot at Lara, even after he shot Una.

I mean, it would have made more sense if Lara was still standing at the edge of the Tomb looking down. Rourke shoots Una and runs away, Lara jumps into the water to quickly get to her.

Rourke was hot. He should have been Lara's father (facially and body-wise). I don't know why they made Richard so BLAND. When Amelia was too pretty.

I think the biggest problem is that Rourke should have been a reoccurring villain. They attempted to do this with Rourke saying Dominguez told him not to shoot her in Siberia, but come on we didn’t even know either existed in the second game. A lot of it comes down to poor storytelling. If they knew this was going to be a trilogy before the second game even came out then they should ha e thought out the story and made sure all the games would connect together. IMO Rourke should have been a more prominent character in Rise and his story shouldn’t have been resolved until Shadow.

Nah. He should’ve been Lara’s lover for real. I’d loved a dynamic where Rourke is stuck between Dominguez and Lara. Which one should he choose?
