Expanding on the brief tidbit of the Half-Life 2: Episode 2 news from yesterday, CVG has posted their entire interview with Valve's Robin Walker. Contained in the interview are just a handful of tasty news morsels for your reading delight.
It's been said that Alyx Vance will have a more prominent role in Episode One than in Half-Life 2. How exactly have you increased her presence/involvement this time around and tell us how this impacts the episode overall?There's plenty more where that came from!
Robin Walker: In Half-Life 2 you didn't really get to learn much about who Alyx Vance was. Alyx grew up in City 17 and knows a lot more about it than you do, which will be useful to you in a number of ways. Besides being capable in direct combat with the Combine, she's learned a lot about how to deal with their electronics from her father and by building Dog from scrap parts. Alyx is the central character we're focusing on with Episode One, and most of the time will be spent with her.
