Yes and no to Lara having help. Yes, Lara has help throughout the games and the DLC's but it's fairly minimal. Take the Baba Yaga DLC, Nadia is basically there as padding, and only shows up in the brief story moments and never actually helps you fight. In Cold Darkness she's just a voice on the radio who provides some comic relief and exposition. Sofia, she only really helps once, and that's with Konstantin, which honestly pissed me off because I would had much rather taken on the helicopter with my explosive arrows and nothing else. Hell even Jacon is minimal as an AI Companion as all he does is walk around with you and run from a chopper, same for Jonah, he just climbs the mountain with you.

And No, Lara's definitely not going to end up with Montez, because let's face it, she's got more sense than to hook up with a villain. Lara says in that nove (and I hate having to cite it since I hate it so much.) That she's not really interested in relationships.

I'm not opposed to Lara and Sam being a couple, but here's something to consider, since it's been pretty much confirmed that The Ten Thousand Immortals is canon. (Eugh.) Sam has been kidnapped by the Solarii, attempted suicide, been kidnapped again, and locked in a mental ward, and after all that, Lara hasn't said ANYTHING to the effect of having feelings for Sam, at this point, to me at least, it would just kinda come off as forced. Also, Sam being something else to fight for would just make Tomb Raider really generic in terms of Character motivation. And Lara falling to her knees, that could just as easlity be interpreted as Lara feeling guilty about having her caused her best friend to in such a situation, since at the end of the day, it is her fault.

Also, the next game is Tomb Raider 12. Original Timeline is Six Games, Legned Time Line is three, bringing the total to nine, Survivor Timeline currently has two, making the total number of main series games released thusfar, eleven.
