HOW'S MY DRIVING?

It's time for the (now) bi-monthly HMD! This is the place where new and old players alike can comment to request constructive criticism and helpful advice. Participation is not mandatory, but if you do take part, please be respectful whether you are giving or receiving comments.

Here's a handy dandy form you may use:

<b>What's your name?</b> (What you like to be called) <b>Who do you play?</b> (List your characters) <b>Personal HMD Links:</b> Drop them here or put n/a. <b>Notes</b>: Any changes or growth that might account for personality differences. Anything you want to say about your character, etc.

What's your name? Jaina
Who do you play? Just Nathan Drake here
Personal HMD Links: Here ye be
Notes: I feel like Nate has fallen into a little bit of a rut in some ways—part of it is because of the lack of outside compelling forces and part of it is some bad things that happened to his loved ones (and it may also be me not putting enough of a conscious effort in), but either way his increased focus on them has left him a little more...hmm, not sure if insular is the word? But it ties into some past guilt about being a shitty friend and husband at his canon point and that's kind of pushed the part of him that is The Stalwart Guy Who Looks After His People to the forefront and left other aspects of his personality neglected. WOW LOOK AT ME NAVEL GAZE tl;dr I'm very seriously considering finally canon updating him to give him a more even keel, but I'm not going to rush into it. Just something that's been on my mind lately as I consider how I've portrayed Nate of late.
