The be-all and end-all ending speculation

[boomyak]

I'm guessing that alyx will make a comeback just because valve will no doubt hear of her popularity, but all this idle: "i can't believe everyone dies" speculation is, while showing that players were emotionally engaged, rather pointless. Valve has no idea right now where the story will go, you remember HL1? mysteriously vague endings create a blank canvas for the writers to work out the next halflife. Using this literary technique permits the authors to pick and choose story elements that really do the piece justice while never having to commit to one particular outcome. I smell alot more plot unveiling with expansion packs to come. my personal theory is it's set several years ago, involving alyx simply because that will allow players more oppertunity to interact with a favourite character, and leave some headroom for "well we gave you the alyx expansion, so if we choose to kill her off, you can't be sad"

oh and why's the title of this thread so ballsy? because i'm gordon freeman and i pwn you all.

The Gman works in mysterious ways

Another thing is when the mighty Gman freezes time he walks up to Alyx and picks something off of her arm, maybe after he gets off he goes and puts her on a train like thing too? Its possiable cause hes the Gman ya know.

I was hoping for another "choice". Only cuz I wanted to see the "Impossible fight" that you would get if you didnt accept the offer.

I believe that Valve knows exactly where the storyline is heading. I am pretty sure that they have known already for a long time.

HL3 is more than likely well in development with all the story elements set in stone.

I would be happy if HL3 came out on the Source engine in 2 - 3 years. That would still rock.
