Anybody else bothered by the inconsistency of Richard Croft's death? (spoilerish I guess?)

In RotTR, he killed himself in his home when Lara was young, but in Tomb Raider: Underworld, Natla (the main antagonist) had claimed she killed Lara's father in Thailand. Which is it? :/

TR 2013 is a "reboot". That never happened.

Besides, don't you already know that villians lie?

I think you're confusing Tomb Raider with 007.

Like Buck said, the stories are largely unrelated since TR 2013 and ROTTR are part of a reboot series.

Hmm maybe the writer wanted to tells you perhaps all these were just Lara's imagination. She's actually having psychological disorders and awakes in the hospital out of a sudden?

Honestly, that's what I ended up concluding too.. that Lara thought and believed Natla was the reason her father died.

Not having played Rise of the Tomb Raider itself, but having read its plot from Wikipedia, I see that Konstantin, while dying, reveals to Lara that her "father did not commit suicide, but was in fact murdered by Trinity" .
In Underworld, Natla admits she was the one to kill Lara's father after his expedition in Thailand, where he discovered one of Thor's gauntlets .
In Anniversary, Natla is an expelled member of the triarchy of Atlantis .
Kitezh, that Lara explores in Rise of the Tomb Raider, is known as the Russian Atlantis.
If Natla used to be a leader of an Atlantis, maybe the Anniversary triarchy is the RotTR Trinity, so Natla killed Lara's father as a member of the Trinity .
Those storylines do match. The only thing that doesn't match after the reboot is Roth finding Amelia's body in Tibet (Tomb Raider 2013). No body was found, since she was teleported to Helheim (Underworld) by activating the dais (Legend) .
That, and the inexplicable amount of unnecessary violence added in the reboot -_-
