Between Angel of Darkness and Legend


I have some questions about the game of Tomb Raider:Angel of Darkness, Lara was pretty much on the run from the police and at the end of the game she gets hold of the holy weapon that Kurtis had

Now at the start of Legend it seems Lara has gone back into the field of Archaeology without any nasty mention of what happened in Egypt(the whole curse of Set trying to destroy the world)or in Paris(the whole issue with Kurtis,the running away from the police and the evil cult wanting to awoken a demon to enslave all of mankind) plus when she did hire Zip and Dr.Alistar? and were did sudden need to find her parents come from afterwards?

I know really it just the change from Core to Crystal in terms of behind the scenes but from a story viewpoint its rough change to see

(Also the early ideas for Angel of Darkness would have told that after her escaping from Set's temple,she was healed by tribal witchdoctor and had spent many mouths with his people until they were killed by somesort of army and after returning to England she fell into deep depression and had a drinking problem,maybe its that reason why she always looks angry thoughout the game)

please comment

In one of the novels she's dug out by Von Croy and recovers in an Egyptian hospital. Nothing more.

As for TAOD, it flopped, Crystal Dynamics did a soft reboot, apparently pretending everything after 1 never happened. If you want to fit Legend and Underworld in, however, you could just say they take place between 1 & 2, with The Last Revelation and TAOD taking place sometime later.

This. They kinda pretended that the whole storyline from AoD never happened.

Crystal Dynamics is terrible now. It's one of the reasons I hope they never make another Legacy of Kain because they'll just reduce it to a lowest-common-denominator action game like they have Tomb Raider.

Yeah, Underworld was disappointing as hell.  The cutscenes were the BEST part of the entire game.
