Good read.

My two big questions are:
Whats with the zombified dude in the chateu?
and
So is snake...err Talbot a super human or something?

Zombified dude was because of the spiders. They had molested him ;)

 

Talbots story according to Amy hennig =

Marlowe's crew is supposed to be a highly-trained clandestine organization, with roots stretching back to Elizabeth I and earlier.  Sort of like CIA/MI6 secret intelligence service type ops... so the idea is they have lots of means to confound their enemies like a secret arm of the CIA or MI6 might, for example. Like Cutter says, manipulating their enemies through espionage, deception, fear.  

This is based on real-life clandestine ops, and "the art of deception". Groups like the CIA really used magician's tricks as well as drugs, etc. to trick and frighten their enemies. So - you can assume there's a rational explanation behind these mysteries... e.g., a bulletproof vest, an escape rope/wire, whatever--which looks "magical" but has a rational explanation, just like a magician's trick.

Magic, tricks, deception, illusion, perception vs. reality - these are themes throughout the game.

 

So no, he's no super human. He's a member of an organisation that focuses on the "art of deception".

Haha :D

Ahh i see, i think they should have gone a bit more in depth with their background. Either way, solid story telling from Naughty Dog.
