So in preparation of Episode Three’s, eventual, release I generated a list of major storyline related questions that I feel Valve should answer by the end of Episode 3 or Half Life 3 (assuming HL3 is the final installment in the series). The list is at the BOTTOM.
After replaying HL1 though HL2ep3 and looking at some of the message boards I came up with some stuff.
My first theory is that the G-man was being employed by the Combine in half life 1. Some have said the G-man is a Government employee because at the end of HL1 he tells Gordon that he has taken the guns away because “most of them were government property” and later he flips to the spot in Xen with all the dead humans and destroyed tanks and says that Xen is temporarily under the control of his employers…but if the Seven Hours War took place almost RIGHT AFTER the events of Half Life 1, couldn’t the G-man refer to the Combine being the temporary owners of Xen. He couldn’t be working for the government because it doesn’t exist after the war. We also know that the Combine don’t have complete control of Xen by Half Life 2 because the science team is able to use it as a bouncing point when they space travel. But since the G-man is kinda a mercenary or an intergalactic space bounty hunter and Gordon’s services “have been open to the highest bidder” I believe Eli (who has been able to communicate to the G-man since just prior to Half Life 1) purchased his services for the events of Half Life 2. This is, partly, what he had to tell Gordon shortly before he died. This also explains why the Vortigaunt retrieve you, because they feel you haven’t finished what they paid you to do. But both sides that hire the G-man and Gordon suffer loses maybe because the G-man is preparing for something or another force, which opposes the Combine but is not the Vortigaunts or the human resistance, will emerge in Half Life 3.
My other theory is that Breen has been an Advisor since the beginning of Episode 1. He was the advisor that we saw in the citadel that attacked when Alex tapped the glass. And this occurred right after the recorded Breen discussion with the advisor about getting a host body. I also think that Breen was the Advisor we saw who kills Eli. Those two were enemies and if Breen was an Advisor, I can’t think of anybody besides Gordon and Mossman that he would like to kill. I think Advisor Breen will be the final battle in Episode 3, but the Borealis will reveal some important details either about the power or nature of the G-man or maybe the mysterious new force that the G-man has secretly helped….which will then be the main focus in Half Life 3.
What do you guys think? Are there other significant questions that should be answered at some point?
Half Life Series Questions with what MIGHT happen:
-Who got/gave the crystal that started the Resonance Cascade? I have heard the combine gave it to the administrator Breen and I have heard the G-man gave it to Eli
-Who were the Benefactors from Half Life 1? Why did they want the Cascade to occur? Combine or "New Force" to control Zen
-why did G-Man free Gordon in Half Life 2 and for whom now? Stop Combine as agent for Human Resistance or "New Force"
-Why did the G-Man visit Gordon in Episode 1? No idea
-Who is the G-Man? What is his role in the higher story? Mercenary for hire with free agent.
-How do the Nihilanth, Breen, Eli, etc know about G-Man? Universal mercenary/bounty hunter.
- Did the transmission message packet get sent? What was in the message besides the gate coordinates? Alex said yes at the end of Episode 1. No idea.
-Is Breen an Advisor? Maybe based on clues
-What’s the connection between: Combine, Vortigaunts, Vance, Breen, G-Man, etc to the larger story? No idea.
-Is Barney Alive? When will we see him? Maybe. Probably Half Life 3 since Gordon and Alex would not have time to communicate and pick him up for Episode 3.
