Too bad 90's Skateboard Drake wasn't a thing they could put in this game.

I feel like this opening shows off Rafe better than most of the other new characters. Sam honestly didn't impress me during the intro, other than being Nate's big brother we've never had mention of.

I do kinda wonder why the cross needed to be hidden. Instead of "Oh I just found this cross, it's valuable on it's own but no big treasure". Especially since Rafe wants to make sure they have it even though they know about the cathedral already.

Come to think of it, Uncharted 1 had the same sort of twist early on with Sully dying and Drake having to leave him behind.

Oddly enough Drake and Sully had their personalities kinda switched. Drake was the cautious one willing to back out while Sully was this person who kept getting into risky debts.

Drake says it came up the river during flood season. Not that it came from up the river. As in it was down the river, and was washed up there after after a flood. Logistically that makes even less sense than if it actually had come from upriver considering it's at the top of a waterfall but hey whatever.

edit: Alternatively he might have meant that during the expedition it was flood season, and they parked it there and didn't come back (because they all got killed by weird gremlin descendant thingies) and thus it became marooned.

I always wondered about that, because you hear the Decendants in that part of the game, but it's a completely different area. Then again Drake and company probably never told anyone about the death monsters that probably need dealt with.

Sully sensed in 2 if he stayed on he would risk another death, and he only has like 3 lives left before he runs out.

The first area where you can stealth through for an achievement it's pretty hard to do. Though what hurt me was I'd get to the door then Sam would take forever to get over so I would get caught and have to kill everyone.

That first puzzle isn't the same every time you play it if I remember right. Plus there's an achievement for getting it in 10 moves or less.

When Nathan arrived, this part of Scotland came under his jurisdiction.

After Rafe mentioned they've been using the dynamite too much he should have mentioned that Nate getting his hands on dynamite makes him the most destructive person in the world.

He obviously never tested it

I thought he noted the floor and you see him talking to Sam when Nadine is trying to get a hold of Rafe. That or Nate just knows he's a natural at destruction.

I know Rafe is supposed to be rich but amateur, but he could have saved so much money on dynamite if he hired a geologist with a ground penetrating radar and a drone.

He tried but they all left after he said "You'll totally live after I find any secret pirate treasure"

You can't run over the lemurs. You kinda clip through them. I mean even if you could it would only be deserving of a game over.

I do like how they make Scotland and Madagascar different in design so they play kinda differently in structure without hurting the game. Especially since driving in games that don't feature it can often be awkward.

I can't figure out exactly how, but I feel like there's got to be a way to make a fortune off of all these priceless ruins they're demolishing in the hunt for base metals. Or maybe they could just rob a bank.

That would lend credence to the Alcazar being in on it theory. He's way too serious for something that could be gone hundreds of years ago. Unless this is all a practical joke and he just wants Sam to live in fear the rest of his life.

I kinda wish Nate was more down this area, compared to Sam's more general excitement, but this really is a really well done area. It's small enough where you aren't wandering forever but big enough where it feels open.
