Tomb Raider shouldn't have Tombs in the games. - Page 11

Since reboot Lara's main thing is to take herself less serious now that everything with Trinity is over, I think a dark humor tone would be a good idea. I don't think she's going to immediately be wise cracking and funny out of the blue since this Lara is a little more socially awkward. Maybe make her attitude more sardonic and cynical because of her past trauma. This would feel more natural in her character evolution. I can see her making a funny but really insensitive comment after seeing someone brutally killed or even after taking down one of her enemies.

Lara hates blondes.

They could really do more in terms of humor

I really liked some of the stuff they had in Legend, and AOD

It's not a party until something gets broken, It needed a woman's touch. It's highly inconvenient having abominations running amok. Was he delivering passports for you too? (That one was super insensitive)

The urban vs. tomb debate is always interesting to me. I can understand both sides of the debate. But sometimes you need a break from monotony. TRLR was wonderful in so many ways, but I admit there were points when raiding tombs got tiresome.

What about the instances when a location starts off as urban and gradually descends into really deep tombs? I can think of one such case with the three Antarctica levels in TR3. That was a great way to tell the story of the place.

I've seen some LE creators employ that strategy successfully as well. But I strain to think of other good examples in the main games, maybe AOD in the aftermath of the Louvre. Maybe we need more of this.
