Will someone die?

Anyhow. I've a feeling Eli will take one to the gut in Episode 1. I think Eli is a fantastic character with warm dialogue and they've established a fantastic relationship between himself and Alyx. And with Eli being the figurehead of the resistance I'm thinking Breen see's everything he's spent 20 years building crumbling around him - and to blame he turns to old friend and colleague Eli Vance.
And of course Dr. Wallace Breen will die eventually. Whether it's during the beginning of Episode 1 as he attempts to escape the de stabilized reactor, or towards the end...or in another episode entirely.
Mossmans an awesome character who I can't see dieing. The chances of us seeing Grigori again are very slim, and I like to think he was killed at the end of Ravenholm. Yes he backed into the crypt but he was surrounded by both fire and zombies.

They don't hate each other. Alyx disliked Mossman because she was the 'step mother' figure, and wasn't really a fan of her almost chilly and sometimes patronizing attitude.
At the end of HL2 their relationship however is mended, which is clear when Alyx says "Dr. Mossman...Judith....look after my father."
And Judith puts her hand to her chest and smiles.

I can see Eli becoming less of a 'good' character - I believe that he has given something enormous up to the Gman in return for Gordon's services and he will be revealed as having manipulated Gordon for his own goals which as was pointed out are no better than Breens..

I think Gregory isn't dead and he DOES hold an importance. Think about it, he is the only survivor in Ravenholm, and has full control over it. His own fort, traps, guns. He is powerful.
Someone should noclip at end of Ravenholme and see if he does die.
No votes on Barney? Intresting. He definatly seems the best "friend" of Gordon. Only one who has a normal conversation with you.

That isn't power.
Ravenholm is an infested, run down town that holds no importance in the coming events whatsoever. He's a slightly barmy, shotgun wielding old man with about as much care for rebellion as a zombie

I reckon Mossman would take a bullet. Not riddled with bullets and stewn across the ground in a mangled mess of bloody corpse and burnt out Pulse rifle marks, but just getting hit by a single round straight in the gut. Perhaps from a soldier getting killed, and as he falls, he fires his weapon as he drops to the ground.
Something like that, but I can imagine an interaction there between Alyx and Mossman as Alyx goes attempts to help her as she lies bleeding on the ground. I've seen it in a movie somewhere, or read it, but this is the sort of thing I can imagine. And as shes too wounded to carry on, she stays behind to man a security console or something. I really don't know, but the whole ''you're a traitor, wait you're now with us, crap you're shot, damn I'm sorry, thanks for staying and helping us'', etc, really rings a bell as a scenario I've seen before.

I hope so. Eli or Alyx are adequate.

Gordon. I'm pretty sure I'll die at least once while playing Aftermath

So Mossman helped you and now everything is forgiven? No! She is weak. She helps Breen capture Eli, maybe he whould have gotten him anyway and now things worked out for thebest but still.
As for Judith helping Gordon escape i dont realy like that part. I mean, there should have been another way up there.
I guess they made it that way just so you whouldnt miss out on the scripted event and go rip off his office from the citadel.

I shouldn't think anyone will die in Episode 1. Further down the line it's a distinct possibility. You just know that one of the episodes will have Alyx, Mossman, Eli or Kliener taking a bullet and then - bang:
Freeman will die repeatedly, but not in the proper sense. GMan may not even be alive in the first place, and I can't see him being killed. Alyx could die, but only at the end of the episodes or the HL series if it continues beyond the episodes. Breen is a predicatable candidate for Death, so he may just survive. I'd be surprised if we see enough of Gregory for them to want to kill him off. The ambiguity of his disappearance would be totally undermined if he showed up only to die 10 minutes down the line. Cubbage wouldn't die because there'd be no real meaning to it. Unless the G-Man does him in or something. I'd be very surprised if Barney died. He just seems too much of a staple to me. Dog could get trashed at some point, only to turn up rebuilt and even more amazing further down the line.
I personally don't see Eli dying. Why? Because the threat of that happening was already the subject of HL2 itself and it'd be more interesting for it to be someone else. Kliener seems a good candidate now he's out in the open. Mossman too is in danger, particuarlarly of doing something noble and cementing her as a good character.

I believe in the original script Eli committed suicide by performing some experiment. Maybe this would suck, but I could see Mossman intentionally taking the bullet or whatever to save Eli (or whoever) as a final "character redemption".
