The only problem I have with the Nadine encounter is that she is looking for the cross and well, Nate doesn't have it, so he has no reason to be so cagey.

It is expected that people in the global theft community would know about one another.

It cheapens both characters, I feel. Now instead of having to learn about one another and form a relationship, the story can handwave that whole layer away with "I already know them therefore I already know who they are and what they are like". It takes away an element of depth. Doing it a few times to emphasize how good of friends specific people are is fine, but doing it multiple times in the same game with people of all alignments is cheap.

But Drake doesn't know Nadine and this is the first time they have met. Being cognizant about some big deal with a private military is expected for someone in Nate's line of work and is definitely not the same thing as knowing a person. And the only reason why Sully knows Nadine is because Nadine is a mod on the artifact thievery subreddit and Sully is a notorious shitposter there.

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?

In the second game Drake and Elena found love, the greatest treasure of them all.
