Fridge / Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Fridge Brilliance

• Talbot's loyalty to Marlowe, and his utter devastation and reaction to her death, seems to be incredibly strong, with little to no explanation as to why present within the story. However Word of God establishes Talbot as being an Evil Counterpart to Nate. And Nate's reaction to Sully's hallucinated death, was to chase down those responsible in absolute rage. Meaning Talbot's attempt at Revenge Before Reason at the end of the game was for the exact same reason as Drake's own response to Sully. Marlowe is his Parental Substitute.
• A lot of people complained about how Nate's dehydration in the desert magically fixed itself, but the game itself gave a clue as to what happened. When Nate first stumbles upon Marlowe's henchmen in the abandoned city, one of them is conspicuously drinking from a canteen. After killing them, then, Nate simply policed all the canteens, which the game left out because it would be boring to watch.
• Watch the beginning of the game very closely, and you'll notice Cutter actively trying to avoid hurting Sully, and even helps him a few times. Although the opposite could be said when it comes to Nate, Cutter clearly loves getting to headbutt him.
  • When Sully is being held by another Mook, Cutter makes sure to throw Nate into said mook so he's let free. Cutter then lightly pushes Sully down into a chair, out of the way, before going back to the fight. Cutter also is the one to pull Sully down from the Giant Mook's back.
  • Then later in the alleyway, Cutter even calls off one of the mooks who was about to kick a fallen Sully some more, mentioning that "He's had enough."
