For all who think Gordon and Alyx can get together


You should remember that when you open Gordon's locker in the beginning of HL 1 in Black Mesa, there was a picture of a baby there. So, Gordon obviously has a wife and a kid in his life. It's strange thing really, because his kid would be in his early twenties in HL 2 and they never mentioned what happened with his family.

Soooooo...if u have a pic of a baby it just HAS to mean its yours?....ok well I have a hell of a lot of kids out there...

Well, it is more than likely that Gordon's wife and kids are all dead. Maybe that's why he doesn't speak. He's still agonizing over the death of his family, and is killing Combines as a way of revenge and / or focusing away from the painful memory...?

He wasnt talking even before all of the stuff that happened in Black Mesa..

I'm sure I read somewhere that Valve basically added that as an Easter Egg, but with no background or character history attatched to it. So it has no relevance to the story really.

reply

yes wasnt it the family of one of the people @ valve?

If this kid is playing Half-Life 1 now he could see himself in the locker.

It was an easter egg placed in by one of the Valve team who worked on the level of the original Half-Life game. Gordon Freeman isn't married, nor any children. It says so in the letter he received from Black Mesa about his employment there.
