I would like Lara to heal with medipacks, but I am not entirely sure. BECAUSE, I want them to reduce as much HUD in the game as possible.

I did a test for TRA, and found that there are about over 100 medipacks all together.

Small= About 56
Large = About 51

I dont really like using medipacks when replaying the levels. Too easy, I guess?

[Jezyk]

I´d like to have medipacks with the game, but I think there should be a limit (like 2 small ones and 1 big at a time) and that she should only be able to heal in peace (no medpack using in midjump, underwater, during fights etc.), it should also take at least a few seconds for her to use a medpack.
She could bring the medpacks with her and then if needed aquire more from defeated mercenaries and their camps.

That is an brilliant idea lemme post that up!

If medipacks are available they should heal over time and like someone else said not to be used when jumping or in a fight. But if you are in a fight you have to find over and stay there for a bit whilst you get healed...

Its a good idea because there won't be any boss fights so yep I think if your fighting you have to hide somewhere to heal Thats a brilliant idea. Well done

What if there were no ways of healing at all?The game would be really hard.

And pointless... In my opinion...

You would be dead like every second basicly. I would get so frustrated with that!

[LCraider08]

I prefer medipacks all the way.

healing herself reminds me of oblivion- and Lara croft is not a mythical character that comes from Cyrodill.

healing herself also reminds me of catwoman- we do not have a health bar filled will diamonds and when you get really low it magically goes up..


no.

health packs all the way. but just the regular kind in Legend, not like the small and large ones from all the other TR games..

I wouldn't mind although I do like the small and large idea because its classic and you have a choice because if you've injured yourself a tiny bit instead of using a large/medium one... Although I don't mind.

I think zip and allistar should drop lara supply packs from helicopters, they may contain ammo, new weapons and health packs...much more realistic in my opinion, ppl may ask "why wouldnt they just drop off lara then" mayb the terrain is too dangerous or the game could have a quote from lara saying somthing like "wheres the fun in it?" i dunno... just an idea

Its a good idea just a bit awkward because Zip and Alistar would either drop off all the medi packs they have instead of coming and going back. Also Alister and Zip don't follow Lara on her adventures, they stay at home and if lara needs info they give it to her A.S.A.P (as soon as possible) Its a good idea but a bit awkward.

[Tomb-Dude]

Lol, i agree with William croft and that one, she is going to the underworld? How are they suposed to get there. I would be an interesting idea but that would mean that they are playing a big part in the game, as most people would hate that, and to be honest i think i would get annoyed with a helicopter flying above me 24/7. It would remind me of war games? Dont ask why.

But I still don't know we are going to have to wait on CD to confirm what they are doing.

[james987654321]

Yea thats true, it wudnt b zip and allister actually in the helicopter tho, theyd just arrange it, there may even be no need for a helicopter at all eg. just looks as though they've dropped it. Lara may not b able to carry everything at once so requests they drop cargo, this is just an idea to make medi packs more realistic, i also like the idea of Laras defeated enemys dropping health packs, if lara does venture into the underworld, something supernatural would b needed to restore health, but what... hmmm an elixer wouldnt b suitable. Mayb fragments of this world can restore her health over there or something kinda like kryptonite

[rabid metro]

... confronting the issue of medipacks in the underworld, CD had to make a choice:
1. stick with the traditional but improbable scheme of seeding medipacks throughout the underworld (nay), or
2. creatively devise a way for Lara to heal in the underworld that will also be a signature feature of the game (yay!).

three cheers to CD for choosing the latter! w00t, w00t, w00000t ...

now ... after defeating an ill-intending deity, how might Lara regain health? if the deity can't be killed then perhaps Lara can only restrain or subdue it. perhaps in that moment when the deity is nullified, Lara can tap into its immortality or maybe its more like Lara can steal the deity's immortality and use that (somehow) to regain health. the deity, having lost its immortaility, can now be ... well, they did mention that the debris will be persistent ...

and who knows ... (hehehe) perhaps in the underworld, Lara truly becomes an Angel of Darkness ...

[zakker]

since it is TR underworld, dealing with the undead's, lara should have a weapon that when it is shot, it can draw health from the enemy and give and heal lara. many games had this feature like blade of darkness.

[briek]

Okay, so it is kind of a mixed answer. I do think that health packs should be available, but I don't think they should be randomly scattered about the level. I think that there should be a few here and there by remains of previously wreckless tomb raiders, but otherwise they shouldn't just be sitting conspicuously placed on top of a boulder. That always frustrated me in the older games. I also think that she should be able to self heal, depending on the type of injury. If she started to drown or fell a long distance, I think a bit of waiting should do the trick, but if she was shot I think that she should be able to find materials from the area to assist in her aid (like leaves or bark to wrap around wounds). I realize it would be A LOT of work, and it probably won't happen( ), but it would be more realistic, and it would give the player more of a feeling of how hard it is to fix yourself while on a mission.

[William Croft]

I see what you mean but healing you self after a gun shot isnt exactly realistic on top on the fact that she has a short sleved t-shirt of what ever it is without a bullet proof vest. Everyone is entitled to they're own opinion although since CD is focusing on the factor of Realism I think Medipacks are most realistic and the classic way.... Although I see what you mean.

That sounds kinda similar to God of War;]

[LisaB]

Nothing is more deadly than a wound in a tropical environment. Trust me--you don't want realistic healing.

[Konoko]

I hope Lara can either heal by medipack or from a specific place:

medipack for use in the battle/boss battle
heal place for ordinary use, e.g. a clear fountain

You can reduce the total number of the medipacks but however the player will be able to heal when he gets to a safe place.

It's not very edifying, is it? It should be the poll title.

[William Croft]
