She's cool and all, but she is a bit of a gimmick; people would get sick of her after a while, especially if she's popping up all over the place. Many thought that it would be great if Natla appeared again (well, mostly the people who only played Anniversary and not the original TR), but now it seems that she's outstayed her welcome... Spoiler: click to toggle A lot of people are glad to see that she clearly died in "Lara's Shadow" because they felt that if she appeared again it would be pretty cheap and cheesy. The same could be said if the doppelgänger appeared again; well, in my opinion anyway.

The Doppelganger may be a bit expired too, but it makes me curious as to how she'll live out her life after being liberated from Natla's control. Would she be exactly like Lara (minus the "flaws") or live out as an evil counterpart for the rest of her existence?

Ah crud, another cliffhanger! I know. These plotholes are starting to get annoying. We might be lucky to live to be 100 just to find out how the story ends! Hopefully we don't have to go through another trilogy just to find that out!

Faints at the thought of another trilogy Tomb Raider should keep to the simple plots; less of the searching for long lost mothers and Atlantean Gods with world domination issues, and more of the Mafia bosses wanting to become dragons I say! ^.~

I feel like doppelganger's stealing the limelight of Lara.* Yes, very true. I don't want her doing that, but I do wish they could keep her. Meh, guess they should get rid of her... Or leave her out of the story, or what ever...

Raider on the run Posts: 49 Group: Members Member #3 Joined: Aug 24, 2008 Your favorite TR? TR:A Male or Female Female	I can't see what can be done with Miss Doppel. I mean how could she be used in game? Lara liberated her, so would she really be an enemy? Could she be used as an aide? I dunno, I can't but help feel that her use in the story has been done. Let's not forget that only Xbox players got to play Lara's Shadow (although most players would have seen footage and know the story by now). By 'normal' standards, Doppel [presumably] died at the end of TRU. How could she be brought back? The Legend plot is done, so is the TRA crosssover plot. Doppel was just a plot device, a means to an end [to Natla]. Although I think the DLC was a continuation to the TRU story, as do many others, BtA and LS were intended by Crystal apparently as a standalone story, so technically it isn't canon (or something ). I think it should stay that way. Unless Crystal plan on making more standalones that definitely don't effect any of the future TR stories.

That actually makes more sense when you put it that way. In the original TR, Miss D was only used as a puzzle device (and apparently a very influential one since everyone remembered it). So she was minor from the beginning, but is being look at as a major icon in the end. I'm sure I would be saying these things right now if it weren't for TR:U so I guess it did affect TR's future in the real world and, as you said, not in the game.

Raider Posts: 156 Group: Members Member #27 Joined: Dec 14, 2008 Your favorite TR? TR2 Male or Female Male	I think they should move on and start developing some fresh ideas. As in the case of Ashes and Shadows, those should have been bonus levels like they did in TR3 and end it there, and I would suggest that maybe they should start reading posts on the forums as I've read many fan-based ideas for games that sounded very good if they can't come up with their own.
