    I think the offset female numbers in the hammer editor is because there was a cut female citizen so Valve had to offset all of the numbers by one but forgot to rename to npcs in the editor.

    Their is the fact many of the civilians are willing to give their life for Dr Gordon Freeman as he is in their eyes a living legend, and unstoppable hero.

    • @yaroslavm9898
      @yaroslavm9898 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Thuthfuly, Gordon Freeman kinda is an unstoppable hero. He can run much faster than most of NPCs thanks to his HEV suit, he can carry and use more than one weapon in the game and he seems to be the only one that wears this type of suit. That HEV suit is like a Power Armor from Fallout but much weaker, no wonder why those civilians are willing to protect Gordon because if that suit falls on combine hands it would be a disaster for humanity in my opinion.

    Honestly, I could never see HL2 without seeing the citizens as they are.
    Also, It's seems alot of them are doing well nowadays. Notably, Joe Cairo seems to have retired from basketball from what I heard. Larry Heard appears to be still making music. And Art Min just seems to be doing fine, he has a twitter too
    Other than that I'm wouldn't go poking into these peoples lives for obvious reasons but If anybody wants to know whats up I hope this is alright info
    Thanks for the video Rad Haz! wishing you the best from Pittsburgh

    Ironic that those "high-quality" models look so much worse than what we got. Even barring how uncanny they look, the normal citizens look dirtier, like they're covered in dust, which fits the atmosphere of Half Life 2 much better.
