History VideoGame / UnchartedTheLostLegacy

* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Nadine at one point mentions that she once retaliated against a man refusing to work with her because she was a woman by ''breaking both his legs.''

* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Twice Chloe prioritizes saving Nadine first over [[spoiler: Sam]], though to be fair Nadine had saved Chloe multiple times already.

* AscendedExtra: [[spoiler: Orca, one half of Nadine's [[ThoseTwoBadGuys two former lieutenants]] from ''Uncharted 4'', had less appearances than his counterpart Knot, was mostly silent and totally vanished just before the climax while Knot was killed. He reappears here with a bigger role in the story and speaking lines.]]

* BuffySpeak: Nadine, not being as well versed in archaeology and Hindu mythology as Chloe is, sometimes lapse into this:

* CasualDangerDialogue: Nadine's reunion with [[spoiler:Sam, while they and Chloe have all been captured by Asav and his men,]] is filled with lots of snide, passive-aggressive remarks as they bicker with each other like children, with Chloe playing middleman and telling them to cut it out, all while [[spoiler:they are being marched to uncertain doom while handcuffed and surrounded by lots of guys with assault rifles]]. The closest any of them come to openly acknowledging their situation is [[spoiler:Sam lamenting that they are now, once again, coming away with nothing.]]

* FireforgedFriendship: Chloe and Nadine start the game barely able to stand one another's company. But as they fight Rebels, solve puzzles and have heart to heart talks they become close friends. Nadine and [[spoiler: Sam]] a little less so by the end, but hey at least they no longer want to kill each other.

* PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure: The reveal that Chloe was hiding from Nadine [[spoiler: that she and Sam Drake are working together, causes Nadine to feel outright betrayed. When Chloe tries to explain, or more like excuse, why she hadn't told Nadine earlier, Nadine punches her in the face, then takes the Jeep and leaves Chloe behind. Luckily it doesn't last long and a ride on an elephant is enough to bring them back together.]]

* SmashSisters: Chloe and Nadine always fight together in well-coordinated attacks. They kick the shit out out of Asav by raining blow after blow down almost simultaneously, and finish him off with a double upper cut.

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Chloe's face when Nadine realizes [[spoiler: Sam is Asav's expert and her tone of voice when she tells Nadine he was initially working with her. True enough, Nadine instantly punches her in the face.]]

* WhamShot: When the two women enter Halebidu, Nadine looks through her binoculars and sees that Asav has already preceded them, with his expert [[spoiler:...Samuel Drake. Nadine isn't very pleased, especially when she learns that Chloe actually hired her to rescue him.]]
** [[spoiler: Chloe and Nadine find an entire collection of amulets similar to the one Chloe's father gave her when she was young. One is missing, and Chloe has it, confirming that her dad almost found what he was looking for.]]

->'''Nadine Ross''': ''Think it's safe?''\\
'''Chloe Frazer''': ''You know that treasure hunting is not a good gig for the risk-averse, right?''\\
'''Nadine''': ''Neither is being a mercenary. Difference is, when I pull the pin on a grenade, I know what's going to happen next.''\\
'''Chloe''': ''My way's much more fun.''

** The plot of the game is about Nadine [[spoiler:going from mercenary commander OnlyInItForTheMoney reforming herself through her friendship with Chloe Frazer. She is appalled that after dropping her, Shoreline have been reduced to petty arms-dealers and she gives up the mercenary life for good]].

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Chloe's face when Nadine realizes [[spoiler: Sam is Asav's expert and her tone of voice when she tells Nadinehe was initially working with her. True enough, Nadine instantly punches her in the face.]]

* BrickJoke: Chloe promises a girl that if she makes it back from her trip, they'll eat pizza together. She makes good on her word during the credits.

* CasualDangerDialogue: Nadine's reunion with [[spoiler:Sam, while they and Chloe have all been captured by Asav and his men,]] is filled with lots of snide, passive-aggressive remarks as they bicker with each other like children, with Chloe playing middleman and telling them to cut it out, all while [[spoiler:they are being marched to uncertain doom while handcuffed and surrounded by lots of guys with assault rifles]]. The closest any of them come to openly acknowledging their situation is [[spoiler:Sam]] lamenting that they are now, once again, coming away with nothing.

--->Ma'am. Well, you're looking well.

* MaleGaze: You play the entire game as [[MsFanService Chloe.]] [[VideoGame/Uncharted2AmongThieves Admit it, you missed that ass.]]

* SpiritualAntithesis: If Uncharted is for ''Indiana Jones'', this game is for ''[[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom The Temple of Doom]]'', rather than MightyWhitey protagonists you have a mixed race daughter of an Indian archeologist. Rather than demonize Kali and the Hindu religion, we have a mostly respectful portrayal of the religion and culture, and likewise the ending of the episode which has the anti-heroes [[spoiler:returning the MacGuffin to the Indian government is a correction of the Spielberg film ending with the glorification of the Raj]].

* TeethClenchedTeamWork: Nadine and Chloe start off as this but very quickly become close. Nadine and [[spoiler: Sam]] on the other hand can barely stand each other, even after the adventure is over.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Chloe's face when Nadine realizes [[spoiler: Sam is Asav's expert]] and her tone of voice when she tells her he was initially working with her scream this. True enough, Nadine instantly punches her in the face.

-->'''Chloe''': Nadine... [[spoiler:Sam]]'s sort of the reason we're here in the first place.

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: [[spoiler:Near the ending, Chloe and co. have successfully taken back the Tusk of Ganesh, their primary objective, from the bad guys, but Asav is still at large with aims to detonate a bomb in the middle of a city to spark a civil war. They could've done nothing and let Asav go instead of risking their lives for zero rewards, but Chloe, and Nadine (albeit reluctantly) as well as Sam, decide to go after Asav anyways because it's the right thing to do. Chloe and Nadine deciding to give the Tusk to the Ministry of Culture instead of selling it to the highest bidder at the end counts as well.]]
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Asav pretty much every time he runs into Chloe and Nadine. He never just shoots them on sight, and he doesn't even have the excuse that previous Uncharted villains have had (wanting to keep the heroes alive so they can help him find the treasure), because he always makes it clear he's planning to kill them eventually or makes a thwarted attempt to do so. Even after he finds the Tusk, he still doesn't simply shoot them right away.

* TheWorfEffect: In ''A Thief's End'', Nadine was shown to be a highly competent hand-to-hand combatant, capable of taking on both Drake brothers at once with little problem. In this game, Asav repeatedly keeps pace with both Nadine ''and'' Chloe in fights, and at one point stuns Nadine after body-slamming her through a statue. As a bonus, he's older than either of them.

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Chloe's face when Nadine sees [[spoiler: Sam is Asav's expert]] and her tone of voice when she tells her he was initially working with her scream this. True enough, Nadine instantly punches her in the face.

* WhamShot: When the two women enter Halebidu, Nadine looks through her binoculars and sees that Asav has already preceded them, with his expert [[spoiler: Samuel Drake. Nadine isn't very pleased, especially when she learns that Chloe actually hired her to rescue him.]]

* WalkingDisasterArea: As a playable character this time around, Chloe seemingly inherits Nate's UnluckilyLucky fortune of destroying everything she touches. Wherever she goes, the place would wind up collapsing. She even lampshades this in one of the later chapters.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: [[spoiler:Near the ending, Chloe and co. have successfully taken back the Tusk of Ganesh, their primary objective, from the bad guys, but Asav is still at large with aims to detonate a bomb in the middle of a city to spark a civil war.

Even after he finds the Tusk, he still doesn't simply shoot them right away.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Whenever Asav's Hoysala expert is brought up, Chloe dismisses him. [[spoiler:Said "expert" turns out to be Sam Drake, who was Chloe's former partner, got captured and is now trying to stall him. He's also as much of an [[TheAllegedExpert alleged expert]] as Chloe make him out to be]]

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Chloe's face when Nadine sees [[spoiler: Sam]] is Asav's expert]] and her tone of voice when she tells her he was working with her. True enough, Nadine instantly punches her in the face.

* WhamShot: When the two women enters Halebidu, Nadine looks through her binoculars and sees that Asav has already preceded them, with his expert [[spoiler: Samuel Drake. Nadine isn't very pleased, especially when she learns that Chloe actually hired her to rescue him.]]

* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Nadine at one point mentions that she once retaliated against a man making a sexist comment towards her by ''breaking both his legs.''

* TheBechdelTest: Naturally the game passes it with flying colors (though there are a lot of scenes where Chloe and Nadine talk about their relationship with their fathers), and it's also [[DiscussedTrope discussed.]] Chloe and Nadine both enjoy the novelty of working with another woman for a change, as treasure hunting and mercenary work are mostly male-dominated.

* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: [[spoiler:After reaching the treasure room in the Hoysala capital of Halebidu, Chloe and Nadine don't find the Tusk of Ganesh but are instead rewarded with another key[[labelnote:*]]Or rather, it's the ''same'' key, just mechanically altered so that it fits a different lock now.[[/labelnote]] and transported outside. Chloe then realizes that the Tusk was never in Halebidu at all, and the entire city, for all it's wealth and splendor, was just a decoy built to protect the "old" capital of Belur, and the Tusk, form the Persians.]]

* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: [[spoiler:After reaching the treasure room in the Hoysala capital of Halebidu, Chloe and Nadine don't find the Tusk of Ganesh but are instead rewarded with another key like the first[[labelnote:*]]Or rather, it's the ''same'' key, just mechanically altered so that it fits a different lock now.[[/labelnote]] and transported outside. Chloe then realizes that the entire city, for all it's wealth and splendor, was just a decoy built to protect the "old" capital of Belur, and the Tusk, form the Persians.]]

* AmoralAfrikaner: Nadine, again, though she gradually moves away from the 'amoral' part with CharacterDevelopment. [[spoiler:Orca and what remains of Shoreline, however, have become more ruthless than ever, retooling themselves into {{ArmsDealer}}s and supplying Asav's insurrection with guns, equipment and, in exchange for the [[MacGuffin Tusk of Ganesh]], one [[BigBulkyBomb really big warhead]].]]

* TheWorfEffect[=/=]RedemptionDemotion: In ''A Thief's End'', Nadine was shown to be a highly competent hand-to-hand combatant, capable of taking on both Drake brothers at once with little problem. In this game, Asav repeatedly keeps pace with both Nadine ''and'' Chloe in fights, and at one point stuns Nadine after body-slamming her through a statue. As a bonus, he's older than either of them.

* ForegoneConclusion: [[spoiler: Since Sam is mentioned in the DistantEpilogue of ''Uncharted 4'', there was no way he would die during this story.]]

-->'''Chloe:''' I am so proud.

* CasualDangerDialogue: Nadine's reunion with [[spoiler:Sam, while they and Chloe have all been captured by Asav and his men,]] is filled with lots of snide, passive-aggressive remarks as they bicker with each other like children, with Chloe playing middleman and telling them to cut it out, all while [[spoiler:they are being marched, handcuffed, to uncertain doom by lots of guys with assault rifles]]. The closest any of them come to openly acknowledging this is [[spoiler:Sam]] lamenting that they are now, once again, coming away with nothing.

** Asav admits that Chloe's plan to [[spoiler:use Sam's "expertise" to mislead him and keep him running around in circles while Chloe and Nadine made real progress]] was clever, then quips that "[[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain Perhaps there's a little Indian blood in you after all.]]" When Nadine later proves that she understands the significance that [[spoiler:Ganesh's loss to Parashurama was a HeroicSacrifice instead of a total defeat]] better than [[EvilCannotComprehendGood Asav]], Chloe rubs it in saying "See? Even she gets it. Not a drop of Indian blood in her."

** "Relax. You'll live longer." First said by Chloe to Nadine after the latter had called her out for her recklessness and unprofessional behavior, then repeated by Nadine to [[spoiler:Sam as she gets ready to charge in and take the Tusk back from Orca and Shoreline [[IndyPloy without any set plan]].]]

* IronicEcho:
** "Relax. You'll live longer." First said by Chloe to Nadine after the latter had called her out for her recklessness and unprofessional behavior, then repeated by Nadine to [[spoiler:Sam while resolving to take the Tusk back from Orca and Shoreline [[IndyPloy without any set plan]], showing just how far Nadine has come.]]

** Asav uses the phrase "Progress demands sacrifice" while praising the old Hoysala practice of ritual sacrifice and using it to justify [[TheSocialDarwinist his own philosophy]]. [[spoiler:Chloe [[PreMortemOneLiner throws it right back in his face]] before leaving him to die on an out-of-control train, trapped under his own bomb. He doesn't appreciate the irony.]]
