This video got me to thinkin'.
<object ><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vk8IdP-upKY&rel=1&border=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vk8IdP-upKY&rel=1&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" ></embed></object>

So Gman saved Alyx despite (I assume) his superiors (naysayers) thinking she was going to be worthless to whatever it is the Gman and his employers are trying to accomplish. He says he can do nothing but watch out for you as you go, he's been given restrictions. So we know he can't just pluck people out of disasters for no reason, he's gotta really believe in what he's doing to disobey orders or advice from whomever he works for like he did with Alyx, because he won't even do it FOR YOU!

Now, Alyx has to be more important to what's going on than any other character at this point in the series, and because Gman saved her, the relationship between Eli, her and Gman has to be alot more important than anyone has conceived. You had to go through and put in motion an interplanetary war for the Gman to take note of you. He saved Alyx for some very, very good reason, and it couldn't have solely been to tell us that we need to prepare for unforeseen consequences.

So what is it and why does/did Eli know about Gman (did the two make a deal for Alyx's life like he may have made a deal with Breen to put him in charge of earth and 'save' it, in exchange for something?) and why didn't he tell you, knowing there was no way you had just disappeared for 10 years and come back, out of nowhere, without aging at all?
 
helps reading your psot after you have writen it :P

anyway he was trying to tell you how he knew about gman and all that, but then you know what happened.

i assume you have played and finished ep2.
 
Oh my, the video didn't work...

I've played through all the games, I know what happened. Or at least I think I do, maybe I'll replay Ep.2, I got a new video card anyways. I guess I was looking to spark some kind of speculation on why on earth Alyx gave the Gman the sneaking suspicion that she was worth something, even as a 7 year old.
 
It was an onboard Geforce 6 series since I built this computer for the sole purpose of audio recording. I bought my brother a 7600gt so I took his 6600gt so I'll definitely replay through it with SM3 and this time it'll be at more than 5 frames per second.
 
Eli either failed or couldn't save Alyx from black mesa so the g-man came along and offered to save her which Eli hastily accepted. And as to why? Well the only thing I can think of which is probable is that the G-man has at least some knowledge of future events or is smart enough to see chains of cause and effect that we cannot comprehend.

Oh and one more thing, Alyx is definitely not 17 years old in half life 2. Shes in her early 20's because I doubt Valve would endorse that sort of thing between Alyx and Gordon.

All though, it might be interesting to have Alyx as a hot piece of jailbait booty :P
 
God. That video was awesome. Wanna play Episode Two again (again).

I'm still in love with Valve *hugs*
