Poll: Did you like Alyx?

[bob-2000]

So, I was watching the latest Doomsday Arcade and reading the comments section, which made me wonder: Did you guys like Alyx Vance? Personally, she's high on the list of my favorite characters of all time. What did you think?

 

[funksobeefy]

you mean Lance Vance?

 

[Robert632]

she a fine enogh character, but is not very high on my list of best characters.

 

[Kollega]

Well, she was pretty well-rounded, if unable to think up a good pun. Not my favourite, but a decent one nontheless.

 

[ThisTypeofThinking]

Much better than most NPCs.

 

[Sassafrass]

you mean Lance Vance?

"Your parents called Lance Vance? Poor bastard!"
I hope you were referring to Vice City there.

OT: Any other day I'd say no but today I'm gonna go ahead and just say...no.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. hahaha. ha. ha.

no

You hate Alyx, but you love [s/]dawg[/s] DOG?

EDIT:sorry about the original post being messed up.

I never really got attached to her. I'll admit she's a good character but I never really found myself caring about her. So since there's no middle ground, I guess that makes me a "no" by default.

I like her but she is completely unnessary in Half Life 2. Sure, she is sorta pretty and I wish my fiance looked like that but as Gordon doesn't speak she is rather a useless extra. I just don't see Half Life needing a "love interest" as they already have a good storyline without it.

I disagree, I think it makes the game feel more human in all. Something that's sorely needed when the main character doesn't speak and the whole world is trying to shoot you.

EDIT: Oops, Double post.

I didn't think much of her portrayal in the show, but as for the original character...

Well, y'know how nerds the world over go all sweaty for Lara Croft? Yeah, it's kinda like that.

 

[Kenshuku]

She had character depth, not like most of the characters they had in games these days (She even had more character than Gordon Freeman!(You know it to be true)). I respect Valve for that, along with many other things.

 

[MortisLegio]

she up in my top 25 if thats what your wondering

 

[Jedoro]

She was a well-done NPC, because she seemed pretty human to me.
