Den eksisterende Tomb Raider-trilogi forsøger at fortælle en ret seriøs historie om hvordan Lara Croft bliver til den ikoniske Tomb Raider, og det sker blandt andet igennem en kompleks fortælling om hendes forhold til hendes far.
Der er nu et nyt spil i serien på vej, men denne gang ønsker en af manuskriptforfatterne bag at der er mere fokus på sjov, og mindre på "daddy issues". I et interview ved BAFTA'erne siger Rhianna Pratchett følgende:
"We had a really fun time-evolving her character, so I would like to see probably less father issues, and that's coming from me! I like seeing her striking out on her own and really taking some joy in what she does. Because when we wrote the reboot game, she was really on her way to becoming a tomb raider. So she was like proto-Tomb Raider. And all the traits that you associate with Tomb Raider like tenaciousness, bravery, resourcefulness, were kind of bubbling to the surface with her.
I want to see that [come to] full fruition, I want to see the sassy one liners and things that I would have loved to have written. But, you know, she wasn't at that stage yet, she didn't have the confidence yet. I think that the trilogy went down really well with fans, so it's gonna be exciting to see what they do next."
Lyder det ikke umiddelbart som en god ide?
