What happened to Nova Prospekt? Ravenholm?

[Xendance]

With the destruction of the citadel, do you think that took out both Ravenholm and Nova Prospekt, or would we return their in futurue episodes?

 

[AJ Rimmer]

Nova Prospekt was either destroyed or badly damaged as Alyx and Gordie teleported out, but Ravenholm is pretty far away from the city so maybe it wasn't damaged.

Well Id say there is nothing left of Nova Prospekt, as it contains a fusion reactor for its teleporter, just like that of the Citadel, so if that overloaded then it would vapourised everything within miles, as we have sene glimpses of the EP2 trailers.

And yeah, Ravenholm most likely survived, but i dont see any significance of returning there.

Considering the reaction people have to exploding dark energy reactors, I'm fairly sure Nova Prospect is a blubbering crater.

I very much doubt the Nova Prospekt teleport had a fusion reactor. The Prospekt teleport is a Combine local teleport version based on resistance technology; whilst it used Combine materials and perhaps a slightly more significant amount of power it certainly didn't require a fusion reactor. The idea of the Nova Prospekt teleport is so that it doesn't have to rely on a reactor.

That said, it probably took out Prospekt. I don't think the entire place is a crater, but more just completely ruined and worthless.

Nova Prospekt was very far up the coast and very far from City 17. The Citadel explosion probably stopped somewhere around the midway point of the canals, not reaching even Ravenholm.

The Depot was certainly wrecked, which was really the only part the Combine had serious use for, all the outer human prison were overrun by antlions. Wikipedia confirms what I've seen of the Episode One train platform to Nova Prospekt, that it's blocked off.

As for Ravenholm, Father Grigori is probably doing what he does best.

Nova Prospekt got the crap blown out of it in HL2. If it wasn't completly destoryed, it's at the very least out of comission. If that EP2 concept art with the destroyed citadel is anything to go by, areas of miles and miles and miles were affected, to varying degrees. Ravenholm probably didn't escape updamaged, but it may not have been obliterated.

Nova-Antlions infestaion=screwed.
Ravenholm-Headcrab infestation=screwed.

 

[Yar Jar Rar]

I don't think we've seen the last of Ravenholm. The zombies might have gotten a little charred, but not well-done.

 

[Laivasse]

I think there is a chance that Nova Prospekt could have remained operable if the Combine hadn't taken such a battering in C17. The teleporter exploding was surely damaging, but not nearly nuclear and I don't think it would have been enough to take out the whole complex.

Gordon's rampage and the antlion infestation were both devastating, but the central complex remained entirely free of antlions and there were still more than enough soldiers left by the end to keep Gordon and Alyx on the run. And as other people have said, NP was way up the coast so I don't think it was physically affected by the citadel blowing.

However, without the C17 citadel to act as a command centre and source of reinforcements, the forces left at NP would have been directionless and useless. They probably wouldn't have had the capability to reclaim the rest of the complex from the antlions. I suppose towards the end of HL2 they may have been abandoning NP in order to return to C17 and back up the C17 Combine forces in the street war.

As for Ravenholm, I don't really know or care. It's already an uninhabitable nest for zombies, so it's not like it could get much worse. I reckon even if the blast did touch Ravenholm in some way, Gregori would be okay, provided he was still alive after HL2. He would have had plenty of time to hole up somewhere once he saw the Citadel starting to look risky.

Ravenholm is fairly far away from the city. It should have survived.

 

[MiccyNarc]

Nova Prospekt was destroyed when gordon and alyx teleported out, ravenholm is probably relatively "safe".

Theres no reason to go back to neither of those places

 

[Planetary]

We're going in the opposite direction in Episode Two; north, while Ravenholm and the Coast are southwest of City 17.

Maybe, but there is no reason to return to it.
"Gordon, instead of going to Mossman and the project we've decided that you should be sent into Ravenholm instead to...er...see if Father Grigori is still alive or something...ok, honestly we just want to get rid of you. Gordon, no offence, but you're a walking disaster zone. Everything you touch turns to shit"
