> Why does she fall in love with the mute player character at first sight ? Don't she already have relationships ? To be fair, it's heavily implied that Gordon Freeman is literally legendary among the resistance by that point. It's not a stretch that she'd at least be a bit star-struck. But yeah, I'm always disappointed when I see Alyx near the top of "strong female character" rankings. Sure, she clears the bar for "character", which is better than ~95% of portrayals of women in video games, but that's not saying much.

>I see Alyx near the top of "strong female character" rankings That might be what makes me uncomfortable. badly written game characters are legion but this one that is often quoted as an example of great female character to replicate. Sure she is dressed realistically and does not have enormous breasts, and that puts her apart most of her counterparts of the time but strong character ? really ?
