I know the nuke going off was canon, but Shepard had nothing to do with it. Opposing Force, Adrian, the nuke going off, and Race X are canon, Valve is just never going to use Race X themselves. That comment didn't make much sense nor did it help the conversation. (lol) Alexcranson 17:08, J(UTC)ĮDIT - Note, the previous comment was a joke, hence the parenthetical laughter. SajuukKhar 03:47, J(UTC)Ĭheck, and Mate, Sir. Alexcranson 03:43, J(UTC)Īll they have said is that Race X doesn't figure into the overall HL saga storyline, as in Valve is not going to use them. I though Valve admitted that Race X aliens are not really canon, but were made-up be Gearbox because they wanted to experiment around and add their own personal spin to the game. Race X comes from a place different from Xen, they could only access Earth becuase Xen was open, with its closing they had no power to get back into Earth explaining their absence in future HL games. Alexcranson 00:33, J(UTC) Actually Gearbox games ARE canon. I can see how that attitude was applied to the entire game. I mean, they just threw those in because they wanted to do something on their own, sans canon. Gearbox has no sense of canon or plot, as we have seen with the introduction of "Race X" aliens. Then when the BMI rolled around Adrian got sent in and showed he could be a total badass so the G-Man took him and placed him in cryo, probably as a "back up plan" in case Gordon went rouge or something. It just means The G-Man thought Adrian COULD become totally badass before the BMI, so he get Adrian bumped up in the testing list to give him some advanced training. Therefore, I propose that the Opposing Force plot was just a big hunk of gibs. This means the GMan decided Shepard was totally awesome prior to the BMI, but eventually decided he was totally awesome due to his actions during the BMI, which was all just a big test and not in any way goal-oriented. At the end of the game, the GMan said that he has a soft spot for people who remind him of himself and that's the only reason he kept Shepard alive the GMan had already determined that Shepard was worth keeping alive while he was in Boot Camp since he bumped him up the lists and decided to send him on these missions prior to any acts of bravery or ferocity, before Shepard did anything that could be considered "surviving against the odds." So, perhaps the GMan was just testing him with no actual plans for use, but even that makes no sense at all. I do not see how Shepard could have assisted the Black Ops with their nuclear mission since they were doing just fine without any Shepard-related actions, so that was not why GMan sent him The geneworm would have been nuked, so that's not why he sent him Gordon Freeman and Barney Calhoun didn't use any assistance from Shepard or his actions.Īll I can think of is this: All of the evacuating HECU teams must have been shot down in their Ospreys by Black Ops during the evacuation in order to silence ALL of the Marines (since EVERY Marine sent to Black Mesa was a witness, not just those who were left behind), and so perhaps the GMan prevented Adrian from evacuating in order to save his life from Black Ops anti-air interdiction. I just played through OppForce again to see if there was any reason for Shepard to be sent on his little missions by the GMan. Basically Adrian is being kept as a if my plans don't go well i have a backup guy. Alexcranson 03:11, (UTC)Īll the G-man said at the end was that Adrian reminded the G-man of himself and that instead of killing Adrian like his employers told him to do we was going to keep Adrian in a place where no harm could come to him and he could do no harm to anyone else. SajuukKhar 11:22, (UTC)īut I thought the G-Man didn't really have a use for him by the way he gave his end-of-the-game speech. Sheaperd was being tested by the G-Man to see if he could be useful to the G-Man in the future. If the Black Ops were going to nuke Black Mesa, which would surely have destroyed the Gene Worm in the process, then why would the GMan have any use for Shephard? It was the GMan's plan to nuke Black Mesa from the start, so Shephard wound up serving no productive purpose at all.Ĭould someone explain why the GMan would go through the trouble of dealing with this grunt?
