This. I get the impression Nate doesn't plan out his moves, he just acts on the spur of the moment, often according to what he finds most amusing at the time.
I'd say Nate leans more towards chaotic neutral. He's just all over the place, one moment he is helping people for no reason, the next he is e… moreither messing with them or killing them.
I would say someone like the Comic Governor would be Chaotic evil, or maybe the save lots bandits for example.
Yes but people are saying "Nate killed old people" like old people are off limits just because they're old, and I just try to put myself in th… moree situation of the character I'm with or playing as.
Those old fucks shot first, without warning.
They rolled the dice and lost.
Yeah, just blowing them away was maybe taking it too far, but at the end of the day, if they hadn't have fired first, or if they'd have checked who they were firing at it wouldn't have happened.
I mean, say it hadn't have been Nate and Russel, but a family, like Pony mentioned, they pull up to check the pumps, and NANG, their kid gets a .308 round in the head because of a couple of trigger happy old dudes.
If I'd come under fire for nothing I'd done, and without any, Lay down your guns warning, hell yeah I'd kill who did it in case the next group they did it to had kids.
I even agreed with taking their stuff.
Seemed fair compenstation for being almost murdered.
No... It was CLEAR they recognised the car, and they recognised Nate. It's not because they're old, but because one of them was injured, and by the way they reacted to him they had a REASON to keep him away.
Well sir, you have presented a good argument. I now see why so many people like the character Nate. Thanks for explaining. I still don't want him near Clem, though.
Obviously not. He is not rapist and for sake of her future he would be unstoppable defender. Like running into fire with two gas cans with no gum to chew.
He's an interesting character. Or the kind that this world creates.... Whatever floats your boat. It shouldn't come as a surprise the fact that Nate is popular within TWD. Hell, even The Governor has some sort of "cult" following around him, myself included.
The Governor is a fucking boss. Kirkman should'venever killed him. Fuck Negan he's just a cardboard copy. That's when I started to loose faith in the comics. Recycled bad guys and arguments.

Whoa gramps! I got here late, what's with the Nate hate?
And why the hell do some people think Nate is some kind of pedophile? He's fuckin' crazy, but not that kind of crazy.
Nate was being vulgar and rude to Russel to fuck with his mind/piss Russel off (because Nate is a hilarious asshole), hence the creepy comments interrupting Russel and trying to sidetrack his story. TL:DR, Nate figured out how important Russel's story was to him, so Nate was messing with Russel by trying to devalue Russel's story by showing how much he (Nate) didn't care, by sidetracking it.
The whole point of Nate is that after his friend died he just can't take the world seriously anymore. Life is just a big joke to him.
There's a pretty good reason why a lot of people here are comparing him to the Joker, too. (see above).
I'm absolutely 100% with you on this one. I can't say Negan sits right with me either for the same reasons.
Speaking of that, how come The Governor doesn't have an appreciation thread yet?! It would be interesting to see people's reaction that's for certain...

They obviously could have killed Russel with that first shot. If I remember correctly, they hit the car door, the definitely missed Russel. The car wasn't moving. It is much more likely that was a warning shot, than a killing shot.
I'll admit being shot at by them didn't incline me to listen to their point of view much. By the time we got in the kitchen I just wanted them… more dead.
I'd already decided to kill them at that point anyway, I just told Nate to shut them up when the old dude started talking.
I wasn't in a very forgiving mood. -_-

Hell I'd go so far as to say he'd be ok with Clem.
Kinda like Joel and Ellie.
Joel was pretty much sociopathic, it's a myth sociopaths don'thave empathy, they just only have it for themselves or very small carefully selected groups.
And who could resist Clem's cute factor.
At least with Nate she'd be safer than with Carlos and Bitchecca

I used to have friends in high school who would fuck with you like Nate did to Russ. You just have to know how to handle those dudes.

Nate would be a horrible role model for Clem.
He's sexist and pretty much a psychopath.
Needlessly wasting two people and chasing down two more in the middle of a swamp is sending the wrong message.
..I can't wait for episode 2.
it's a myth sociopaths don't have empathy, they just only have it for themselves or very small carefully selected groups.
That makes me a sociopath. That makes a lot of people sociopaths.
Joel wasn't a sociopath, he was just a callous old man who had been suppressing his emotions for 20 (or more) years. No one that survived that long in the apocalypse would have empathy for humanity as a whole, especially when humanity consists of assholes who try to kill and rob you. Let's see... will he choose his daughter figure, or the shitty remnants of humanity that have caused him so much pain over 20 years? It's an easy choice, and you don't have to be a sociopath to choose to save your daughter figure over that cesspit.

Wait, wait, how exactly could Nate of all people have 'easily diffused' that situation?
Remember that Nate is fucking crazy and chaos rules his mind when you consider your response.

But seriously honest question why would people think Nate is a pedophile?
I'm certain that he said what he did about the girl from Russel's group exclusively to fuck with Russel.
Remember that conversation though.
Nate wasn't like 'That kid! How sexy was that Kid? I think kids are sexy!' It was : 'You mentioned the word female? How sexy was the female?! How big were her boobs?'
It's pretty standard roughneck type 'I don't care about your story' mindfuckery. That and Nate just being a vulgar hilarious asshole and only vaguely listening to what Russelhad to say.

Nate's like the Joker.
They RECOGNISED Nate. It was pretty obvious, and I bet that Nate was lying rather than them. They had a reason to shoot.
I got the distinct impression they were old and confused.
They didn't wait long enough to identify.
Bottom line is, I find it impossible to have any sympathy for someone who has shot at me.
You should never escalate a situation unless you have the ability to finish it.
Definately not, dude. Nate's fun, but Thou Shalt Not Fuck With Clementine.
Obviously not. He is not rapist and for sake of her future he would be unstoppable defender. Like running into fire with two gas cans with no gum to chew.
Oh he's definately got a screw loose lolz

They were a threat. They fired first.
If Nate hadn't killed them, I would. That's why my Russ stayed with him.

LOL, they weren't a threat when Nate had his gun in their faces.
He could have easily diffused the situation without killing them.

I don't want that guy in my life, GOUSTTTT....
Damn. You're starting to give me survivors guilt lol
I think a .45 to head diffuses situations pretty damn efficiently
In some twisted way they were threat to every single soul that stopped nearby station.
Hell I'd go so far as to say he'd be ok with Clem.

Mission Success. What do I win?
Start one or should I?
Omfg Bitchecca. Have my like. Luke is still a better alternative to Nate, though.

Lee would get the bullet for sure. He was blackier(?) than Russell... this bandit.

A huge marble figure of Nate?
It's a ten
:-{o

DON'T MAKE ME CRY ON MORE THAN ONE THREAD!
Yeah he'd be a shitty role-model, but then would you want your daughter raised by a guy like Joel?
But she'd be safe...
And I think Clem's personality has pretty much been established by now.
I can't see any amount of time spent with Nate would counteract her basic nature or her lessons from Lee.
That makes me a sociopath. That makes a lot of people sociopaths.

Man, fuck those racist assholes.
Nate might have let them go if they hadn't called Russel a whatever the hell they called him.
Nate don't stand for no racism.
Nate DID easily diffuse the situation. The fastest way he knew how...
Maybe not cute factor but future rating factor. Nice guy for Clem and with boys something like 'in seven years 7/10 gal'.
You're preaching to the choir mate.
I pretty much feel the same way as Joel, and I haven't had half the shit he has.
But seriously honest question why would people think Nate is a pedophile?
I'm certain that he said what he did about the girl from Russel's group exclusively to fuck with Russel.

Hells yeah
It probably isn't right to use " Nate " and " diffuse " in the same sentence, you're right.
He lacks empathy and has psychotic reasoning, and that's why I dislike him.
I'm guessing Nate used to work for AMC before the ZA.
Explains his obsession with Ratings and his general attitude to life
