Fair enough! Think I'll do it from Locke's POV anyway, think I can actually write that than mimic Jorg's mind...
For mine, I actually went and read the first chapters of the
Uncharted and
Tomb Raider novel tie-ins to see how each author had written the characters (thanks, Look Inside!) and used that to inform how I wrote the crossover. I tried to mimic Christopher Golden's writing style, to an extent (even though I'd never read any of his other work) while also drawing on my experiences in both games.
What was the most fun when thinking through how a fight would go between Drake and Lara was comparing how powerful each character was, just considering what you do in each game. If you consider only the mechanics in each game, Lara wins in most encounters. If she has any sort of sightline on Nathan Drake, he's pretty much dead with an arrow between the eyes.
Drake's combat in
Uncharted is mostly gunfights at close to medium range, with some fistfights in melee. Lara spends the vast majority of her time creeping through woods, silently headshoting enemies with bows from long range, without ever being spotted. Plus, she gets perks later in the game that allow her to headshot people automatically, which make her absolutely lethal.
Technically, if Drake had a sniper rifle and sightline on an unaware Lara, he could probably take her out, and he also might have a chance if the got in a straight up gunfight, but if she got to choose where the encounter took place, I think Drake's pretty much dead. Fortunately for Drake, because Lara's a decent person and actually didn't WANT to kill him (I figured Drake would just take a contract for Trinity, without knowing about their darker deeds) I decided she'd fire some warning shots to cover her advance, instead.
Can't wait to see what other people come up with, I *love* this writing prompt.
