Please do not even bring her up. She's the most boring badly written character I have seen in the video game other than Nick. My only regret is that we couldn't shoot her in her ugly dirty face.
I suppose I can see that, but I think that Nate really did care for Russell. He cared for him a dark and twisted way and did some nasty things like letting the walker grab him and not covering him when the shootout first began, but I think it was Nate's own dark way of having some fun with someone he considered a friend.
That said, I still told himself to fuck off and walked out of that place the moment he suggested shooting the old folks. I wouldn't stay with him, but I've always felt that there was more to Nate than just booze, women, and killing (Even though that's a perfectly valid interpretation of him).
Well, I suppose a bit. Although Russel wouldn't have been in that position if the narrative hadn't forced him to accepts Nate's roadtrip. I'… mored also argue that Nate only cared about saving Russel because he would die too if they didn't work together, not because he cared about Russel's well being, but obviously that is just my own assumptions.
Nate came off to me as a man who's starting to lose his sanity, and he's not a complete jerk, he offers Russel a ride, offers Russel a drink, and saves him from getting shot, he's a very interesting character that has alot more to him than " I'm so evil and you should hate me," Carver, and to some degree Nate is funny on how awkward he is, couple that he's unpredictable and to some degree, scary, and that's why many people want to see him again, he's no bore, he's no boring Carver or Troy, he's Nate.
I don't accept that. Maybe you do, but I don't.
The issue with Nate is that he has no other side to his personality other than "jerk." He… more's completely unlikable and is amoral simply cause that's what the kids like. He has no justification as to why and is a bore.
You could argue he was only in a small role (thank Christ) but then why didn't they give him a slightly bigger role with an actual arc instead of focusing all their attention in crafting the most amoral cock-head they could? Hell, Joel was an amoral cock-head, but one I felt for and even had a lot of compassion for. Cause they took the time to give him genuine faults and pathos. Something us everyday people have.
Nate is one of my favorite characters. I find him to be one of the most interesting characters to be introduced, and I think it would be exciting to learn more about him. He's no saint, that much is obvious, but I don't think he's a psychotic, pedophile, rapist, heartless monster. I feel people are doing his character an injustice when they label him, I think there's so much more to Nate than that. That's why I defend his character at least.:P
There's no way in hell that Nate is more bland and uninteresting than Carver or Troy. Jane was just a better written Molly clone, Nate was just Nate, unpredictable, funny, awkward, and intimidating.
She sure was, but still a much more interesting character than either Kenny or Nate.
Both of which I find to be "lowest common denominato… morer" bait for people to talk about just because they were "crazy and wild!"
They were, of course, pretty damn bland with little interesting things to say and do. Here- they were "set pieces." One time use gimmicky characters that have absolutely no longevity as actual characters. No basis in design and horribly scripted.
If a character comprises of zany little quips and nothing to build it off of, then they are by definition pretty boring.

Because he murders a pair of scared old people and deliberately reminds Russell of the last psychopath he'd escaped from.
If anything, I'… morem more astounded by people who genuinely like him rather than just appreciating how scary he is as a character.
Not entirely, but she does have this "Lone wolf" thing going on like Molly, and she just so happens to have a sad back story involving a sister, I actually did think she was different in a few places, mostly in episode 5. She's a clone, but a better written one.

I think Nate is cool. I like his character a lot.
I'd probably avoid him if a real apocalypse happened though. I don't know how trustworthy he really is.
Nick?

Nate was a pervert.
And a jerk.
I hope we never see him again.

Molly isn't like Jane
The old people were dead anyways, he saved Russel's life so he can't be that bad.

Found the perfect Nate pic.
