Yeah, the remodeling sucks, especially considering that her looks are just fine the way they are (and her model actress had impressive and charismathic features on her own).

I love how she jokes around the absolute silence of Gordon (Have they ever explained why he's silent?) and the "brute with smarts" nature of the character. Seeing her stare behind a glass while i Mario jumped to the top of the room, made me feel warm inside.

And Dog... Oh... Dog....
heh, exactly the developers I was thinking of.

It's a nice touch and a funny poke at themselves. They have talked about why he's silent and it has a lot to do with the player inhabiting the character and allowing the world in. It's effective even if you do get the odd moment. I love the elevator bit with Alyx, it uses all the investment you have in her to really affect you as you leave her and carry on alone.

I love Dog, such a good dog
