Why couldn't Lara get a jacket or coat from her fallen enemies?

Because there will most likely be blood on it.
I mean, would you wear something that has blood on it that isn't yours?
Kinda weird really.

Maybe because people would scream sexism at even that. "Women don't need men's clothing to protect them. SEXISM!!!". I've read crazier things concerning the issue.
Hmm... maybe...Richfeet said:
Unless it gets stained then it still might be a little creepy.
Then again, she might just wear a bloody jacket/coat to send a message to her enemies not to mess with her.
Give off a crazy vibe and all.
Lara is immune against such minor inconveniences as cold, friction or wounds that don't pierce her throat, so she doesn't care.
Not if you strangle the guy. And either way I'd rather have a bloody jacket than freeze all the time and chafe off all my skin. A bit of blood should really be the least of your concerns in a life or death situation.Fiz_The_Toaster said:
That's a good point actually. Strangling the guy would take that point away of having blood on it.Smertnik said:
Personally, I'd loot the body, but I don't know if Lara would.
Being all proper and whatnot.
Man, these comments are so jaded and feisty.
When you are out doing everything Laura is doing, the adrenaline pumps, your heart races and with every movement you feel warmer. She pretty much didn't need one because she kept herself warm. Plus she never really wore a jacket in her previous incarnations so why start now?
That and the programmers probably didn't want to program her getting a new jacket every time one got ripped.

In Tomb Raider 2, you wear a heavy, warm winter jacket that %100 covers up your tits...
...and then you are still wearing short shorts.
In a more serious note, as sad as it is, we identify with characters largely based on their clothes. Lara is famous for her tan short shorts and sleeveless aqua shirt in games 1-4. More recent games do vary her outfit based on where she is in the world, somewhat, but how many video games are there in which the main character actually has enough different pairs of clothes that they wouldn't absolutely smell like shit from wearing the same outfit through rain, mud, blood, hell, and back? Not many. (Same applies for TV shows and movies.)

As much as I'd like to agree with you... I can't.
Why must you ruin my joke?DVS BSTrD said:
That's so rude!
Also, I wouldn't wear a bloodied jacket, it's just weird.

RIP joke.
You will be missed. :'(
Because developing something like that would take time and money and ultimately there would be no real use for it beyond playing dress-up unless they wanted to spend even more time and money adding in the new mechanics for why she might want to change her clothes.
But that explanation makes too much sense so it must be because the devs are sexists who wanted Lara to be little more than eye-candy for the misogynist horde of privileged white male gamers.

Not an option. Wearing a drenched jacked in freezing temperatures is a very bad idea. And unless you have a heat source nearby to keep you warm en help dry the jacket, waiting around for it to dry by itself is an equally dumb idea. Better to just wear the jacket as is if it means survival, blood-stained or not.Richfeet said:
That's not really how that works. Adrenaline and movement alone will only get you so far. It'll help, but only temporarily. Both are only really effective with proper protection to help retain that warmth, otherwise you'll probably end up needlessly hemorrhaging body heat.Kendale Anderson said:
Except she did, in no less than five games.
Still rocking the shorts though and leaving the jacket half open for more cleavage also kinda defeats the purpose.
Once again with the plunging neckline, but at least she now wears actual pants.
Full winter fatigues, proper gloves and even a beanie. The most sensible winter outfit yet.
So the proper gloves and beanie are gone. Jacket seems kinda short and again the cleavage, but at least its fur-lined.
Proper gloves again. Fully closed, fur-lined jacket.
Ok, so apart from maybe the Chronicles outfit, none look really suitable for extreme cold, but at least its better than nothing at all. Maybe she learned her lesson?
Because, then depending on what material the coat's made of, you've defeated the purpose of scavenging your fallen foes for warm clothing as a wet jacket is going to exacerbate the freezing to the bone problem.Richfeet said:
