For example, when Aftermath comes out, what's to say that the very first thing we find out is that Gordon has mysteriously disappeared, wisked away by the GMan to be held in slow-time again till his work is required again, as at the end of HL1?
I know, i know..i have a particularly large bug upo my ass about the progression of the HL story - but story plays the biggest single part in whether I find a game enticing and worth continuing with.
I think one thing to keep in mind is that aftermath is not likely to make any large impact on this mod. The first reason being, if, by chance Gordon Freeman is frozen in time again, it's really easy enough to go ahead and switch the characters name and other reactions around him if that's deemed neccessary.
The next reason would be, very simply, that the game is going to be located in another city, and thus there is enough of a degree of seperation that the events that take place in Aftermath can be mostly ignored, as the likelyhood that they will contain earth-shattering revelations is pretty much not a large threat (earth-shattering revelations will probably wait for HL3, not an expansion pack). I feel that Aftermath will probably by a nice add-on that goes into the destruction of City 17, and not too much farther.
And in the end, we'll mostly have to wait and see what happens with the expansion. If any changes are going to be made, NO ONE will know a thing until about that time.
Oh, and I just noticed that "About" section of the site has been updated. Huzzah.
Lastly, this is my first post. Hi all.
