As a result, she has only marginally better financial resources than the average reader of this novel, and can’t afford to go globe hopping with a small armory and enough spy tech gadgetry to satisfy James Bond. This is all part of the “new” Lara Croft, whom, it was hinted in the last game, is not a wealthy noblewoman living in Croft manor, but has rejected her aristocratic roots to try and earn her way in the world. The new Lara Croft consults a single family notebook of research, talks to professors at Oxford and reads up on Wikiepedia. The old Lara Croft, flush with money and a hunky tech and research support staff, would simply fly down to Greece, raid a tomb, shoot animals, exchange witty bon mots with villains, and top things off with a Raiders of the Lost Ark-esque mystical confrontation that teaches both her and us about the folly of toying with godlike forces we are unworthy of.
