10 Out-Of-Character Moments In Video Games That Fans HATED

10. Lara Croft Pulls Out A Cursed Dagger - Shadow Of The Tomb Raider

Few IPs have rebooted themselves as successfully as Tomb Raider. Though the modernised version of Lara Croft has the same unquenchable passion for adventure, she's more emotionally vulnerable than her classic counterpart. It's also easier to see this Lara as a genuine human being, since she exists in a more realistic setting.

However, this makes the opening of Shadow of the Tomb Raider all the more infuriating. After discovering a Mayan temple, Lara stumbles upon the cursed Dagger of Chak Chel. 

Knowing her rival, Pedro Dominguez, intends to use the Dagger for his evil, Lara removes the artefact from the chamber. When Dominguez takes the Dagger from Lara soon after, he alerts her that her actions have triggered a Mayan apocalypse called The Cleansing.

However, Lara knew what would happen since the temple's murals warned looters not to remove the Dagger. Also, Lara read this warning aloud, so she was fully aware that taking the enchanted blade would have catastrophic consequences. 

Even though the classic Lara was brazen and cocksure, she would never be dumb enough to pull a stunt like this. Considering this Lara is supposed to be mature and considerate, it makes less sense she would do something this thoughtless and foolish.
