Tomb Raider writer Rhianna Pratchett wants Lara to have fewer father issues in next game

From Eurogamer: "Tomb Raider writer Rhianna Pratchett wants Lara Croft to have fewer father issues in the forthcoming next game.

Speaking to Eurogamer at last night’s BAFTAs, Pratchett confirmed she's not working on the newly announced title, but is "very excited to see what they do with Lara next".

"We had a really fun time evolving her character, so I would like to see probably less father issues," she said. "And that's coming from me!""

But...it was her shitty writing of Lara as a character that focused on the father/family issues in the first place

Rhianna wrote Lara to be a whiny, non assertive and just completely different to what people loved about her as a character in the originals and Legends.

robtion1130d ago

I'd like to see a version where she has MORE daddy issues.

Maybe they could write a gentleman's club or two into the story and the plot could explore Lara's journey from exotic dancer to adventurous explorer. I mean right...right?! ;)

specialguest1130d ago (Edited 1130d ago )

Makes sense. That explains the big boobs from the original games. You're on to something there

gerbintosh1130d ago

Maybe she is paying her way through archaeology school

senorfartcushion1130d ago

Writing is about homing your identity and threading it through the story. It means that the ready is ready to move on and make Lara behave different.

It’s not bad news, it’s good news.

ChubbyBlade1130d ago

That’s…not what writing is about.

@ chubby

My published novel says differently mofocka

Seeing as how you wrote it, why are you complaining? 🤣

senorfartcushion1130d ago

It is projection. It’s fine to criticise yourself as a writer. You have to.

If she’s ready to move on and make the character different then that’s ok isn’t it.

porkChop1130d ago

She isn't complaining. You should probably read the article to understand what she's actually saying.

CDbiggen1130d ago (Edited 1130d ago )

Never! The headline is all we need on this site.

Terry_B1130d ago

Bring back the Lara Croft who was a badass woman.

CobraKai1130d ago

I wouldn’t be opposed to tiddies and short shorts as well.

annoyedgamer1130d ago

That's the one thing that definitely won't happen.

I really, really hope that this amazing studio will eventually give us one last Ori game, it can be a prequel. Will of the Wisps is one of my favourite games of all time but as for their new game ehhhh.. let’s just say i have zero interest in it but they seem very passionate about it so i hope this review bombing doesn’t affect the studio’s future.

PhillyDonJawn1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

It doesn't even have to be an Ori game it can just be similar. I want them to make a side stroller combat game. Kinda like super smash bros but with ori playstyle

Michiel198923h ago

if you like arpgs, but wasn't a big fan of screenclearing attacks, this is a really fun game. It's sort of diablo meets dark souls.

HyperMoused1d ago

This is a great game, i dont think its fully released yet, but it has a heap of content if you want to get stuck in

BABI-PANGPANG19h ago

I don’t get the criticism at all. From the visuals to the story, music, voice acting, and gameplay, it’s incredible on every level. Sure, some parts aren’t perfectly balanced yet and there are a few glitches, but the game isn’t even fully released. I’ve put around 80 hours into The Breach update already (300 or so in total), and I still can’t get enough.

Christopher9h ago

Majority of the criticism is on the time-gating they utilize in the game that makes it feel like a mobile game. I think his making it out to be just people who leave a thumbs down review without effort isn't really why people are leaving bad reviews. If you read through them, they really hate having timers on so much considering building them in the first place requires you to collect materials to make them, which should be the 'time' you spend and not just waiting for it to finish being constructed.
