Like I said, they really don't explain it that well. It's possibly because Marlowe's organisation is supposed to be hazy in intent, but still.
Naturally, on learning about the Tarot motif I was struck with a feverish need to assign each Uncharted character to a Major Arcana. Nate makes an excellent case for being The Fool (beginnings, luck, infinite potential, tricksters and idiots and those that combine the two); Elena's Strength (self-control overcoming brute force, gentleness, courage, virtue); Chloe could be represented by The Lovers (different meanings depending on the deck, but the two most famous are the need for decisions and romantic relationships); Charlie could be The Hanged Man (sacrifices for knowledge, traps, between-places) and Sully's probably The Wheel of Fortune (opportunities, the fickle nature of luck, windfalls and disasters in equal measure). I learned a little about it from New Vegas, which has some clever and rather more subtle Tarot symbolism just as part of the general gambling overtones ('cause...Vegas).
Since I'd chosen Argonian as my race, when I was allowed to go running off into Skyrim at large I promptly dove into the first river I saw and swam around admiring waterfalls and mountains and ice floes and stuff going "gawsh it's so pretty :D". I bought the game at least a month ago and I only bothered to finish the main quest two days ago, so...yeah. It is a time sink.
