Talk:Shadow of the Tomb Raider/@comment-29952513-20160902103712

Things I want in this game. Sam to return and be Lara's partner, working as either AI, like what we got in Uncharted, or doing what Nadia did in Rise of the Tomb Raider's DLC's, working as mission control and talking with Lara over the radio from a safe location (personally I would prefer Sam to be a AI and help Lara out during the missions but that's just me.) I want Lara and Sam to end up together at the end of the game, give us a bit of romance with a big damn kiss at the end of the game, Lara and Sam woud make a great couple.

I want a evil counter part for Lara, same relative age, same level of understanding in archeology, similar weapons and combat skills. I also want this villain to be more of a Dragon-in-Chief who is more in control of the situation then then the heads of Trinity. I Sam to have her moment to shine and allows herself to get captured so she can learn what Trinity is planning.

I want this to be a grand finally on par with Uncharted 4, Return of the Jedi, Return of the King and The Last: Naruto the Movie.

I don't want What's His Name from TTTI to appear or for him to be the one that Lara ends up with. He is such a boring and minor character that he has made ZERO impact on the series and Lara hasn't even mentioned him in any of the comics or Rise of the Tomb Raider. Plus the reason he feel for Lara is forced and creepy and their "Chemistry" is about as Good as the romance in Twilight.

I don't want the story to retried similar plot points like Rise did. Rise did it well but there's nothing wrong with shaking up the statues quo. True Rise did this well and if it ain't broke don't fix it but I want the final game to take a few more risks, like the for mentioned Sam helping Lara, the two ending up in a romantic relationship and the next item on the list, Lara's allies.

Have Lara's allies be a more up to date group that has ties to actual military and are completely on Lara's side, with the leader of the group being like The Brigadier from Doctor Who. Someone who is doubtful of the supernatural but when he comes face to face with it he adapts to the situation. And even before this he shows respect to Lara and Sam, doesn't treat them like their getting in the way and listens to their advice about Trinity instead of acting like he knows better. His against them going off on their own but let that be more do to practicality and not some form of sexism.

Give us a epic final boss fight between Lara and her evil counterpart, something like what we got in Mass Effect 3 Shore Leave DLC. One that leaves fans begging for more because THAT is how you close out a series.

Also while I personally have no real issue with this trope, don't skip to several years later after the game with a happy ending like Harry Potter and Uncharted 4. I wouldn't mind but I would rather end the story at the present time so players can continue to play the game and finish any and all side quests they might have missed.

Also, no multi colored explosions, don't have Lara blow up her mansion to continue her fight against crime from the shadows and no it was all just a dream or she and Sam were dead all along.

Bring Rhianna Pratchett back to write, have Camilla Luddington and Arden Cho/Chieko Hidaka reprise their roles as Lara and Sam respectfully. And please, Please, PLEASE no Xbox Exclusives for a whole year. Give the Game to PS4 and PC owners at the same time you give it to Xbox owners.

And finally, take your time in developing this game, if you need 3 to 5 years to finish it, take 3 to 5 years to finish it. Don't rush it and give us a incomplete game cause you wanted to get it out in time for the Holidays. We love this series and we want to see it done right not fast.
