So do the maps though which are easier to find as there generally always in the tombs, if which there werent many so they're still kinda pointless.

2013 felt just right. Every one had me engaged, right up to the end (where I started losing interest and skipping a few)
Rise was way too much. Quality over quantity, the language thing was cool but yeah, way way too much. |

None Tomb Raider is an action platformer, documents have no place in TR. I hated them in reboot and stopped reading them after reading a few because it's extremely boring and breaks the pace of the game.

I'd want about 51-100 documents. I really love how they enrich the stories, and they're really well made.
However, if we're talking about collectibles in general, I think they can reduce or even completely remove the murals, as well as survivor caches. The actual documents and relics have a place in the game, and they're pretty important for people who enjoy the lore, and they add a lot of depth to it |

Ideally for me : - 20 to 50 documents, hopefully with no fillers in them. - 10 to 15 strong boxes with unique and clear gears to combine with weapons. Laser sight or a silencer for instance. No hundred of invisible upgrades. - 50 relics. All well hidden and none in your path. Like TRA I guess. As rewards maybe 10 outfits. - Actually special weapons like in the old games. Harpoon gun, grenade / rocket launchers or flamethrower. You not get them in cutscenes. - Skill tree but significantly different from the reboot trilogy. Just special and optional acrobatic skills. Could be uselessly fun to win the handstand or bomb dive. Something like 20 of them. - An invention of mine : archeological enquiries. You analyse (similarly to Batman in Arkham games) your environment for clues about the past of the locals. When you collect all the clues a cutscene would be triggered, which is a historical documentary told by Lara Croft. Around 10 of them in the entire game. - No XP - No caches - No optional tombs. That should be mandatory. That would be enough for me. Last edited by Chamayoo; 22-05-20 at 09:38. |

None.
Looking for the documents was a chore and 0 fun. I want secret locations with contactable/useful items hidden within, like medipacks and ammo and relics that will automatically go in a trophy room in Croft Manor. |

I'm with the "quality over quantity" sentiment. It adds a lot more to the world if there's only a couple well written and unique documents that actually tell you interesting things that you want to learn rather than a quarter thousand letters from the same guy whose story you don't care about.
Also wouldn't mind some visual enhancements; if there's only a couple of collectibles you might as well make them visually unique and different so that they're more memorable. They could tie together the relics and documents a bit more so that Lara would analyze the artifacts she finds and come to conclusions about the overall plot or world she's exploring. That said, I think TR2013 had about the right amount of documents but it helped that they all explored the same question of what's happening on the island, more or less, so it wasn't hard to get invested. |

I voted 50-100 but honestly, as many as their next story needs. I'm not fussy. I like story exposition through documents. It fits with the whole archaeology thing.
