We can guess that maybe Lara is simply knocking out the Area 51 men, Groom Lake dam workers etc. in the story, but what happens in gameplay stays in gameplay.
Something interesting is that the natural history museum guards in London are armed, which is illegal here in Britain. It looks like a subtle hint that those particular baddies are actually more of Sophia Leigh's hitmen disguised as security guards in order to get to Lara.
What I find stupid though is that the RX Tech men are hostile to Lara except the hazmat guys (until Meteorite Cavern where they also attack her), even when Lara is working for them in the first Antarctica level, so Lara ends up having to defend herself when she shouldn't have to.
You'd think the research employees would let Lara deliver what she was hired to find to their boss, since Willard isn't Natla, despite the similarities in his goal. The only time Lara starts growing hostile herself to RX tech is when she finds the "Brundlefly" mutant from the mines in the ruined cafeteria.
Kinda won't help her case when she is trying to claim she is innocent
Yes, but the game provides a taser and dartgun for that purpose, which are non-lethal as are Lara's melee attacks. The game simply doesn't stop the player choosing lethal force, but it still begs that question if we ignore gameplay and story segregation.
True, but I doubt they thought about that when developing the games, plus being locked out of a good ending by choosing lethal options might p.iss the player off if they didn't know about it beforehand. Best to just run with it and enjoy the games regardless.
But she's running around breaking into museums and killing innocent museum guards.
Not to mention attacking police.
She's rich she probably has a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of lawyers.
I have no doubt she could have got her way out of this in court lol
It's also odd that the police immediately go after her, when she fled the crime scene to go and find them before seeing Carvier, probably to tell them her side of the story. Granted since Karel may have been hiding, other boarders in the block of flats might have thought Lara did it and there wasn't much evidence to the contrary, but she doesn't even get a chance to say "thank god you're here!" before they send in the hounds.
It would have been nice if towards the end of Parisian Ghetto, Lara did go to the police to tell them her side. (Languages barrier isn't an issue as she's meant to be able to speak at least 12 languages) Maybe she would end up working with the police on following Werner's leads to find the real killer, like when MI6 hires her in the Cradle of Life.
Sadly that wasn't the case and a "license to kill" doesn't cover local law enforcement (in most places outside the US anyway) or civilian consultants, especially regarding museum guards but it's still a better idea than constantly being on the run with self defence only taking you so far, especially if you're a murder suspect.
They aren't enemies they are just people paid to guard a building from burglars
She even murdered an unarmed helicopter pilot in Tomb Raider 2. All the guy did was smile and wave at her.
If she held him at gunpoint I'm sure he would have flown her with no resistance and no need to kill him.
