I love Lara's house and her gardens, they're so peaceful.

[kdgreer0]

They put the ark of the covenant in there? I never noticed that!

@CentralPerkHangout Well, in the new manor, player isn't able to enter every door, meaning, that one of them is a kitchen, and since there are puzzles/rewards, you need to unlock, so in the kitchen you need to cook, and Lara doesn't do that :)

It's crazy to have a mat in a music room, but it's not crazy that Lara has neither a water closet nor a kitchen? o.O

@videogamenostalgia I thought it could have used the warm lighting of the original. As it is, it has the same atmosphere as the caves level.

The house in TR1, 2 &3 looked lived in. The TRA one just looks like a museum

@freaklore "sorry but" I never talked about there being a maze in TR3. I'm actually trying to say that there ISN'T any maze in TR3.

@lkjkorn19 sorry but the maze first appeared in tomb raider 2

I actually prefered lara's home in core design's tomb raider games, mainly because you could make lara lock winston inside the fridge. I also remember when lara climbed out of the pool in the TR1 manor and said "right, now I'd better take off these wet clothes" and the last level of TR2 in which lara had stop the men breaking into her house, then when she is about to undress herself she looks at the screen and says "don't you think you've seen enough" and shoots the screen with her shotgun lol

Aha! Thanks :) I guess that's the "same place" where the gian't aquarium was in TR3...
