@John Walker:
What, you don’t know Minerva: Metastasis?

As much as I adore the Minerva approach, it simply wouldn’t work for Alyx because she has to be likable for the game to work.

I suppose Minerva is likable as well, but in a different way…sort of. I really should play Metastasis again. Minerva is one of the most interesting and best written characters in any game.

Hey Cargo Cult, are you saying you made a Half-Life mod then?

I think it’s more a case that Alyx vocalise’s the intention ‘Gordon we need to get to blah’ but it’s you as Gordon that dictates the route. Interesting interview though. :)

I like my Minerva approach – if the player isn’t going quickly enough, INSULT THEM SOME MORE!

Wait.. does that say ‘it’s annoying when Alyx dictates the pace, so we applied that to Episode 2 after it’s success in 1′? I’m confused :(
