I now wonder if market research has found that the biggest demographic of those playing this game are the boys who have grown up with Tomb Raider. Now that these gamers are older, maybe the designers decided that they'd be most attracted to a more realistic (albeit a bit young) Lara.
I mean, look at me. I already have a crush on the new Lara.
