Is that supposed to be her? Because she's kinda derpy lookin'.

Don't apologise. I like Sam too and wouldn't mind seeing her back, and trust me you're far from the worst when it comes to vocalising your opinion. There have been people I've encountered who have done nothing and scream and stamp their feet about how Sam is the most important thing in the franchise, how her absense made Rise unplayable and that Lara has to be made into a gay icon, blah, blah, blah.

Personally I think  the absense of romance in Tomb Raider sets it apart from series like the Mummy, Uncharted, Broken Sword, Secret of the Incas Indiana Jones and other adventure series. If Sam were to come back I wouldn't mind an implicit romance, but making it front and center would really be a disservice to the game in my opinion. Hell, why not bring Kaz back and make her Sam's love interest, I don't subscirbe to the notion that everyone needs a love interest, that's one of the reasons I love Horizon Zero Dawn so much, Aloy just takes all the flirting thrown at her from men and women in a pretty casual "That's flattering, but I'm not interested." kinda way.

I really don't think Shadow will be able to have that bad of an ending, Lara triumphant, evil defeated, perhaps a shot of her on a new advunture, clad with twin pistols. I'm pretty easily satisfied, and a game has to do something REALLY bad to make me retroactively hate the entire game.
