Maybe her mother was asian. I remember reading that her mother also worked at Black Mesa, but was killed in the first attack.

[Qarth]

She's mixed you dolts

[Faiden]

maby adopted?

[meamog]

in black mesa east, you can look at the picture of eli, his wife, and alyx. his wife is most definitely asian, so yeah, alyx is both.

[dreamsINdigital]

Alyx's mother was the lady in the hologram from the training in the original Half-Life.

Whoa, I didn't know that. I should really pay attention to the dialogue more :)

Anyway, hopefully the HL2 Raising the Bar(stard) book I'll be getting should help (Y)

I don't think it was said in the dialogue. I heard that on a HL2 forum, and apparently Valve said last year she was her mother. Her name was Gina.

[meamog]

gina makes sense, that's the name of the female model in multiplayer. the model is the same as the hologram.

It said in the dialog, but I think you had to look at the picture first. When I did, Eli called me over and told me it was the last thing he had taken out of Black Mesa, besides Alyx (A picture of his family).

EDIT: Also, I read somewhere that Alyx was originally supposed to be the daughter of Corporal (?) Vance, a character they scrapped (in his picture, I believe he was white or asian. Light complexion). When they scrapped this character she became Eli's daugther.

Shes a bunch of 0's and 1's ;)

Theres a pic of alyx with her mom and dad when shes a baby in east black mesa. Ill go dig it up now.

Yeah I heard that too, but I don't think he specifically said Gina... or maybe he did?

[Rob2687]

I dont remember any mention of Gina but there is a picture there somewhere.

[YBG]

I feel that I just wasted my time. I just finished the game. It created so many questions but left them unanswered.

I know there's other people who feel this way I just needd to say it.

I know some of you have wondered why the hydra (the blue worm looking thing featured in the E3 demo in Neverprospekt picking up the combine soldier) wasnt included in the game. I was reading through my Rasing The Bar book and found out why from the man who created it Ted Backman.

"However, the closer it got to being done, the more its fatal flaw was becoming clear: it was amazinglly cool to watch it fight other characters, but it was zero fun to play against it in first person. When it attacks others, as the player you could see this great big glowing giant worm smaking through the map, knocking stuff over and putting on a great show, but when it attack you, the player, you'd just see this non-descroipt blob doing something vague, then you'd be dead. Cutting it was personally very painful, but I had to do it. I'd still like to see this in the half life universe somewhere, maybe rethink its AI more along the lines of an Antlion."

Thats what the man said him self and there is more beofre it but im not typing that out. Loads of stuff like this in the book so its a must buy!!

[finality]

Expansion pack anyone? :)

[+virtorio MVC]

I agree that it probably wouldn't be very fun to play against, but it would have been nice if they added in a sequence where one took out a whole bunch on combine soldiers.

You are correct, in the Raising the bar book it sez this:

"In early versions of the game, Alyx was the daughter of a militray man, Captain Vanc, though she was very close to Eli. Vance played a compromised and dangerous role protecting the Air Exchange, while secretly organizing resistance fighters. When the air exchange was cut in the process of development Captain Vance was a causalty. In one stroke, Alyx becomes Eli's daughter, thus tightening up the core cast of characters. Vances face survives as the basis for one of the nine male citizen heads and also currently exists in his purest form as one of the hostages for Counter Strike Source."

Well what you know, tihs book is amazing and tells u so much more :D

:blink: I purchased it on Sat. and now it Sunday and I have been at it 16 hrs straight playin at hard settings. It got under my skin but I'm just about finshed. Well worth the $54.00usd plus tax $4.00 = $58.00 . Very few hiccups and took about 30 minutes with the steam bull**** and Counterstrke Source too.

Graphics are awesome and gameplay is damm good too. Its been along time since I was excited over a PC game :p

[python134r]

I?m in the part named "We don?t go to Ravenholm", and I?m wondering how much time I have to spend in Ravenholm, because it?s really scary hehe.

I just received the shotgun btw.

Thanks in advance...

I got stuck for a while there(RavenHolm), very frustrating but as the rest of the game you have to really be aware of everything and when you get low on ammo at times learn to put that wonderfull crowbar to u:ninja:nja:
