Superficially, Drake’s Deception is a story about a search for a lost city. What it actually is, among other things, is a study on what makes Nathan Drake who he is. And that certainly isn’t his name. He has come a long way in the timespan of this game. Yet again, though, he is not a penny richer, yet he is richer in spirit. He is free to continue doing what he does (domestic arrangements permitting) as himself. After all a name alone does not make a man. Sullivan was right; greatness is what you do with the hand you have been dealt. Nathan has more than proved himself to be more than the man he ever set out to be.
