      And you can't compare him to somebody like Indiana Jones or even OG!Lara Croft Indiana Jones was a professor and the bulk of his adventuring career was directly in an antifascist context Lara Croft is a lonely spoiled heiress who wants for nothing, she's in it for its own sake

      Nathan Drake on the other hand is just, like, well he's closer to Hudson Hawk than either of those two characters He doesn't have a job and he actually explicitly needs money and basically he strip mines the past for copper wire and questionable hookups

      I mean I get that Nathan is sort of a Miguel-and-Tulio figure but those guys were *scumbags* and Nathan is, also, kind of a scumbag He takes this really capitalist approach to world history, he would disdain any kind of profitless pure enthusiasm for it as contemptible nerd shit

      People like Nathan Drake (and his predecessor, Indiana Jones) are fairly common in the real world and actual archeologists fucking despise them What they do doesn't generally take much education or expertise, just willingness to break the law

      Lots of people go to dig sites to loot them and sell any easily transportable artifacts for cold hard cash to unscrupulous collectors Generally for a fraction of what they'd be worth in legitimate markets It's a dirty business

      As far as Indiana Jones himself the point of his character is he's an amoral scumbag, that his adventurer stuff is a hidden dark side to his respectable archeological pursuits He has a conversation with Marion in the first movie about it

      The funny thing is that joking aside, it actually is supposed to be the case in-universe that Indy betraying his mentor Prof. Ravenwood by fucking his teenage daughter was a HUGE deal and nearly derailed his career and destroyed his reputation

      Abner Ravenwood -- the father Indy never had with his own dad being a much more assholish self-centered academic -- disavowing him and burning his bridges forever should've been the end for Indy as an archeologist But somehow he pulled through anyway

          I still want to write a fic where old indy desperately tries to repair some of the damage he's done Also weirdly I feel like shadow of the tomb raider manages to make you an adventurer without fucking over the natives because you're working _with_ native populations?

          Like how in the first modern tomb raider game lara is actively working with a bunch of non-white people to prevent a white guy from sticking a murderous spirit into her girlfriend, I mean best friend.

          It's a retcon, but in Last Crusade it's heavily implied that it's because Indy had a dad in academia who was friends with Marcus and Marcus hooks him up.

          At any rate, Drake is an asshole because Raiders Indy is an asshole, this much has been explicitly confirmed by Amy Hennig. The first movie is all about how he and Belloq are basically identical frenemies in it for "fortune and glory", not knowledge.
