Hello! 

First of all, I’m sorry for such a super late reply! And second of all:

I’m glad there are other people who like Nathan as well! :)

His character and personality are very complex and that’s probably the main reason why the majority of fandom can’t stand him, at least in my opinion. A lot of LiS fans refuse to look deeper into him and his behaviour and they just assume that the way he acts on surface is his true self. 

(Even though Life Is Strange is pretty much about not trusting your first judgement of a certain person. Sometimes it amazes me that people fail to reflect this concept on Nathan, too.) 

I’ve always tend to adore fictional characters of this kind! The ones you have to analyse and think about to understand them, or to at least to get some sort of pattern of their personality. 

I do wish he would’ve gotten a better ending. Because literally no matter what you can’t help him or save him. I’ve always held on to the theory that he won’t be going to a prison (if you choose the Sacrifice Chloe ending) but to some sort of mental hospital. I mean, the court must not overlook the fact that he’s mentally unstable.

I also like the fact that the developers decided to show some bits of Nathan’s true personality in Before The Storm, a l t h o u g h I must say that sometimes it seems a bit... forced(?). 

Yes, of course, I’m glad that it opens eyes of those who couldn’t see through Nathan’s mask in the first game. Yet I still can’t wrap my head about how people can think that he’s genuinely a bad person after the ‘Nathan’s Call” scene in Polarized and after listening to what he has to say in Max’s nightmare at The Two Whales.
