Wait, where? I've never encountered a box that only gave XP (they always give resources, though sometimes I'm capped. you should see them pop up on the right hand side of the screen. Red = you're capped on that).

Couple of the lockers in the Gulag that you lockpick. I'll keep an eye out next time I encounter one to see if they do give resources as well and I'm not being dense but can't remember anything but the XP meter filling up.
Does the game ask who you are every time booting up? Before the NXOE patch, I thought I just launched into the game no questions asked.

Edit: Answered already
Jesus, five hours into the game and now I realise ha. I thought I'd only ask cos I was struggling to run away from a pack of wolves.

Edit* Never mind, figured it out lol
Played for about 3 hours or so. The stealth system seems super broken to me. I can fire an arrow to kill a guy and that gets the attention of the guy right in front of him who can't see it. But I can sneak up behind two guys and stealth kill one with melee and the other doesn't notice even though I'm right next to them.
Other than that slight annoyance, the game seems pretty fun so far. The tombs aren't super challenging or anything, but I don't really hold that against them.

Can't believe I spent 30 mins when I first got to the Soviet Instilation looking for the entrance to the tomb there only to give up, about 4 hours later just as I'm cleaning up collectables and missions in the area I spot the way in by accident and then realise the tutorial tomb teaches you the mechanic. In a different context and as a means to solve a puzzle rather than to gain entrance to somewhere but still was a head slapping 'd'oh' moment.
Also the bow skill Double Shot, is stupidly OP.

How do you get to the 2nd tomb there? The one on the far top right of the map?
I got to the one in the hole via the cave, but can't seem to work out how to get to that other one.
I know it has no chance because of the anger over exclusivity, but this is goty material, just brilliant, not only does it look stunning the whol exploring, hunting collecting resources for all your crafting and levelling up adds a whole new dimension, just doing the story is doing a massive dis service to the game...well done devs, well done

My problem is not knowing when to advance the story. There is so much to do but I think I need to unlock things before I can finish each stage (lots of branches blocking me in caves, rope arrows etc). I think once I finish the game though I most likely won't come back to it.
I think the only thing you need to be mind ful is the first area and the one before the end.
You can never get past branches. For some reason they put those in places instead of a wall.
Without spoiling it you need an upgrade to access the path to get there. The entrance is also not near the marker either if I remember correctly but Lara will say something about needing a tool to get the entrance open. You get it from progressing the main story for a bit further after getting to the Installation.

Great, some of my achievements are stuck with "Done!Unlcoking" it's so annoying that it doesn't notify you because I've been running around Geothermal Valley for hours , picking up
when in actual fact I've already unlocked the achievement ... god dammit.
chickens and shooting them with fire arrows
I believe like the first game the branches are there to hide wildlife spawning.

The bow multi-kill shot is ridiculous but I love it tbh. Get it, then upgrade it so you can target 3 at once, then upgrade it again so it only targets heads, then pick up the headshot chain XP boost and enjoy your broken levelling! 
Because it is not in a set place. It can be all over the soviet installation basically (well except the gulag). Look for a green glowing bird in instinct vision and then shoot it.
Wow! Based on your friends list then, Tomb Raider should have sold around 9 million copies!

This game is absolutely incredible. Witcher 3 to me is the best game ever made and is my default GOTY for 2015, but outside of that ROTR is easily the GOTY for me. It has completely blown me away in my 6 or so hours with it so far.
I think Lara is the most detailed character I've ever seen in a video game to this point. Take a look at her face next time you are in a Tomb or some wondrous place. She is looking at things and making faces of awe and stuff. Absolutely incredible. Add to that all of her facial animations, wringing out her hair when its wet, shivering and clattering teeth when its cold, and of course the insanely realistic hair. Incredible stuff.
If the gunplay was a bit better, this game would be in legendary status. Maybe that will be fixed on PC with 60fps. I will most certainly double dip on this game, can't imagine it looking EVEN BETTER on PC.

This game can look really stunning, but some areas are kinda jarring in how bad they look. The one area not very far in
, the outside part is a shimmer fest. It's so odd considering everything else looks good. Also, the input lag destroys aiming. It's a huge step back from the last game. It really should be patched.
where Konstantin pushes the guys eyes in with his thumbs
I hope it does well. In the UK I think it may do better than most expect.

Some info on Baba Yaga:

As much as I am a fan of Tomb Raider, I won't be purchasing it until we actually see something. Baba Yaga does intrigue me though.

Really looking forward to this one. Waiting on a deal though.
About the same amount of hours in and I feel the same right now. If the PC version gets some good upgrades I'd be happy to buy it again.

How old is she supposed to be in this game?

It takes place a year after the last game and she was 21 so this time she'd be around 22 years old.
If you pause the game and click view controls it shows you what the buttons do

Digital Foundry noted that, yeah. Its probably the biggest reason why I'm waiting for the PC version. I'm sure the improved framerate should fix that.
I have at least 2 that show 100% complete but that I didn't get the achievement for.
One of them was 10 kills by shooting someone in the leg.
Early 20s I would imagine.
Got to be dat motion capture.
