Arse-jokes are sort of a staple with Chloe (it is quite an arse), but they mix it up a bit later in the game by having Nate check out the arses of others as well. Like Elena. ...And Sully. And at some point Chloe completely gives up on Nate acting like an adult for like ten seconds maybe Nate you dumbass and it's funny, so there's that! (Don't worry, she develops.)

Nate, how are you fluent in EVERY OTHER LANGUAGE EVER, APPARENTLY, but not know what "frivolity" means? I hope you are ashamed.

Nate is extremely well-versed in the things that he's interested in, like ancient languages and explorers and treasure, but becomes a flailing moron if ever the topic moves onto stuff he's not interested in. He had a pretty spotty education and a lot of what he knows is probably practical and self-taught. So he's smart but not academic. He doesn't speak or understand Tibetan, for instance, and will stare blank-faced at a Shakespeare quote.

...It seems this have become my default Uncharted icon, even though Penumbra is about as unlike Uncharted as it's possible to be? WHATEVER THEY BOTH INVOLVE DUDES IN COLD PLACES AND CREEPY ARTIFACTS.

I hope you kick that depression in the face!

oh, it is so good to hear she develops! But, while I am glad the jokes are equal-opportunity, I am still finding them a bit tired. Or maybe I will appreciate them more now, who knows?

Y-you mean he is not really omnilingual? I am oddly disappointed. "Nathan 'Omnilingual' Drake" amused me (for reasons I am not entirely clear on).

DUDES IN COLD PLACES AND CREEPY ARTIFACTS ARE THE ONLY SIMILARITIES YOU NEED. Looking back at my entry-and-comment history regarding Uncharted, I have most commonly used my chibi-Silent Hill 2 icon, so, I mean, make of that what you will.

Though now that I think about it, the two games do have a lot of basic similarities. bah, whatever.

Thank you. I am at least coming back out of the depths of it faster than usual, which would be exciting if excitement weren't still hovering outside my emotional range.
