Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
That's because they keep walking past actually valuable stuff like ancient statues and machines in hopes of finding a box of gold coins or whatever.

it's too bad they noted the monks had already abandoned the place by the time Avery moved in because if not I would suggest the silent brothers of monk house reset the traps as a special inter-fraternity thing that was part of greek week

Thinking back, was the first game the only one where we lost the really big treasure cause it turned out to be a scientifically magical artifact/substance too dangerous to let anyone have, but we still made a good profit cause one of our friends found a bunch of less important, but still valuable, treasure?
Sully is the only one of the main cast with any sense to actually steal things. Drake never does it because he's more an "adrenaline junkie who likes finding shiny knick-knacks to put in his attic" than an actual thief.

Not to HYPE UP OR ANYTHING but the next few chapters are probably my favorites in the game and made me enjoy it a lot more than I thought I would initially.

And later on the game gets even better!!

Agreed. Scotland takes a long time and is mostly platforming, but we're about to get into some of Uncharted 4's best segments. Not to spoil anything, but we get some epic environments that really take advantage of the PS4's power and one of the best action sequences the series has ever had.

No, the traps were clearly from skeleton house based on the decorations. I think those guys are one of the international fraternities or something, because their stuff is everywhere.

Drake killed all those men for only 1 games worth of treasure.....

This map is absolutely gigantic and gorgeous. Such a long driving section would probably be painful in a lot of other games, but the dialogue and different interactive areas like the winch segments and climbing towers break it up.
