so there have been rumours going around that half life 2 episode 2 will contain (spoiler)chell beacause she escaped from apeture(with my favourite cube) and is now free to do whatever.
valves 2 main franchises are both set in the same distopian nightmare so why not team up to make up for the incredibly long wait.


edit: yes I know that some guy (sorry fergot your name) has already made a thread like this but that was mainly technical not story based.

As someone who likes Portal, but ranges from apathy to detestment about Half Life, I can say that it would be a nice easter egg, but nothing more.

Were she to appear as a character, I still wouldn't care all that much.

I'm going to vote, "We don't need another."

Dude, Valve will never pull this shit! What is this Marvel Vs. Capcom? Okay, thats a poor example, but their both silent protags. Maybe if she gets mentioned in ONE part and thats it as a self-satire. But I always got the feeling Portal is after the Half-Life time line. Hence the post-apolyptic.

I decided not to vote, the options are way too ambiguous. Why not having like "I support the idead", "I don't support the idea", "I don't care" and "other"?

Also, Chell isn't in episode 2. That already came out.

To be honest, I really don't think Chell will come up in future Half Life games. While set on same universe, they're distinctly different franchises. Episode 2 ending hinted at Borealis, but that's it. I think the fact that Chell managed to escape the facility simply means that Chell's story arc has been laid to rest. For now.

I really don't think that would work.

First off, there's the whole silent protagonist thing. I'm fine with one of them, but two? And in the same room? That would just be awkward... poor Alyx.

Secondly, there's the timeline issue. We have no idea if the two narratives are anywhere near each other time-wise. Alyx and Gordan might be long dead by the end of Portal 2.

On the other hand, some kind of reference would be nice. Some mention of a certain "dangerous, mute lunatic." Maybe some Ratman scribbles of her ascending into the light or something.

Portal 2 happens well after Ep2, so unless there is a considerable gap in time between Ep2 and 3, or the G-Man decides to bring her back in time for some reason, it won't, and shouldn't happen. The Borealis is enough to go on, and it should be left at that.

Having said that, i'm expecting another Portal game before we get another HL game, because that's just how Valve roll.

You want a female support character who helps with puzzles, combat and story progression? You mean, say, Alyx?

No, I don't want her in there. I think Portal 2 is set after the events of Half-Life 2.

((((((SPOILER!))))))

I would just like to see half life three, if Chell is in it that would be epic. I think it would be grand if Freeman beat the piss out of Black Mesa, and then he meets up with Chell, and beat the crap out of Wheatley labs, and freed all the people that Glados de-frosted at the end of the multiplayer. That would also let me feel that the multiplayer meant something. But if the C-cube isn't in it, I'm prolly gonna be sad.

Wait, at the beginning of Portal 2, it said she was cryogenic sleep or whatever for 999*machine cuts off* so surely it would be longgggg after the whole alien domination in half life?

And the original Portal.
Didn't want to mention that, when I first played through Portal 2 I never knew I was playing as her, cos I thought she escaped, at the time I thought I was playing daughter or sister o_O

I know, weird, but my mind does that.

that would be cool, but i thought portal 2 took place hundreds (maybe thousands?) of years after the events of half life?
