Okay, so according to the flashback of Kid!Drake, the feud between him and Marlowe was at a stalemate because he had the ring and she had the decoder.The SAS, famously portrayed in Modern Warfare.I think he was once the UK equivalent of the black ops.Is Talbot a Djinn, an ex-black ops or what? I'm seriously confused on just what the guy's deal is.It stands out because it's shiny and looks like the deer head from Nate's journal. When you enter the room the Golden Hind is one of the first things you can see.I keep meaning to take a closer look each time I play through. My theory was that Nate spotted something he recognised from the museum, and concluded that Marlowe probably had the Golden Hind in there somewhere as well. I think that the room was filled with items that were originally in the Francis Drake museum.How did Nate know for a fact that the piece of the Golden Hind they were looking for was in the exact same room they found out about it? What was their in the decoder, the ring, Drake's diary, Lawrence's diary, and literally everything else that has led up to that point that gave even the slightest inkling to the mere possibility that the exact thing they were looking for was in that one particular room?.Talbot just is not in a position to save the woman. In the time it takes for them all to work together the woman would be dead. I don't know if it's about showing the difference between the men.As noble as Drake is, for Sully (and us), risking Nate's life to save Marlowe's is not an option. Correction: "Like hell he can't!" in this case means, "He not only can let the Big Bad die, that's exactly what Sully wants him to do".He's basically saying 'Talbot can get off his ass and do it'. Also with Sully saying 'Like hell he can't'. Hence him yelling at the infinitely braver/more noble Nate to risk his skin. While Talbot is loyal to Marlowe, he has his limits when it comes to risking his own life. Nate would go to hell and back to save Sully and even does when he gets taken by Talbot earlier in the game. The only difference is their morals, and clearly their loyalty. They're fairly similar in their own ways, around the same age, physical fitness, etc. The point is to show the difference between Talbot and Nate.What's stopping him from running over to where Nate is, tying his own tie and belt to Nate's.belt thingy? Also, why didn't it also sink into the quicksand? I mean, if Drake's ring could sink in easily, why not the belt thingy? When Sully says, "Like hell he can't", did he mean "Of course he's not gonna let her die!" or "He won't save her!" Should he have said, "Like hell he can"? I'm just confused with the verb usages there. What was keeping her (last remaining) assistant from trying to save her? All he does is just sit there while yelling at Nate to not let her die. I figure that Sir Francis Drake probably gathered a bunch and put them in the places anybody trying to follow his trail would go as a deathtrap.Because Marlowe and co clearly had a batch of it on them in order to control Cutter, and later Nate, I wonder if some was bought back? Therefore it could have been present in the above three places, and the spiders followed? Or the spiders are caused by the water? This is really something I wish they'd addressed. I had a theory that the spiders followed the hallucinogenic water.And they can't be hallucinatory - multiple characters all see them at the same time. What the heck was with the spider-swarms from hell present in locations as far-flung as France, Syria, and Yemen? Marlowe's group had clearly been studying them, but since the ending of Drake's Deception suggests there never was any sort of supernatural or even preternatural horrors involved (the various horrors being, so far as we know, all hallucinations), they're kind of baffling.Word of God confirms he was just using black ops tricks like a bullet proof vest and an escape rope to to appear more intimidating.But I'm sure some alternate theory could be cooked up if needs be. We already know of one why not more? The above theory that he's a Djinn would explain why he has access to the hallucination water when seemingly nobody else does. As for him disappearing after drugging Charlie in Syria, I assumed he escaped down a hidden passage. Does any of his supposed bullet immunity happen outside of drug-induced hallucinations? If not, that would explain that.
