I too am at the desert part. So fucking awesome--the weather is pretty cool where I live and that part made ME thirsty! Awesome how Naughty Dog pulled that off. I guess I'm near the end.

Couple of things that bother me: 1.) I still don't know Drakes reason for this whole adventure. It's like a lot of things have happened without a real purpose. Is Nate just adicted to adventure? Chloe and Elena have touched on this. Hopefully all will be revealed, soon.

2.) Can anything me up Nathan's perfect hair?

What I can share in a hopefully non-spoliery way:

 

1 - the reason is explained more from an emotional context than anything else and comes from the context and strands in the game rather than any specific and clear piece of exposition.  Nathan for personal reasons fixated on Francis Drake at an early age (touched on in the game and referencing back to DF), he had a theory that Francis Drake went somewhere at a certain point of his voyage (touched on in the game), and he was robbed of his chance to explore this by Marlowe (touched on in the game).  For twenty years we're to assume he and Sully have tried and failed to lure her back into the limelight (brief piece of exposition in the game).  Now, they finally have and he's determined no matter what to follow the trail he saw himself as being the only one smart enough to work out.  As with all personal obsessions he covers it up by claiming "treasure" in the most generic sense as the goal.  But clearly it isn't.  His reasons are all personal and deep rooted and that's what makes everyone around him question his motives

 2 - Nope.  I suspect Nate's hair would survive a nuke without needing a fridge

This is very spot on! Well written :D
