Poll: Do You Like Alyx Vance?

Well I like Alyx Vance, not only because she shares my name (Spare that pointless Y) but in the ranks of female game characters she's not some stupid bimbo or some testosterone-fuelled action man with tits but she's intelligent, emotional and able to hold her own.
She is okay. I am not fan of her mainly because she blocks me from enjoying more game. But seriously the whole father daughter thing annoyed the living hell out of me. In fact the Vance's were the only two characters I really disliked in HL2.
She served a purpose, but I never had any use for her. She's fairly invisible and not important gameplaywise, as was mentioned before.
I've never played the Half-Life games. Everyone I see here either sings her praises as the best thing to happen to female game representatives ever, or the most worthless, overrated character in the history of ever.
Based on all that information, I suspect I'd probably like her. I mean, come on...I was never a fan of Navi until the sheer level of hate on the internet aimed at her made me reevaluate her (and find the hate unwarranted).

she was (just as every half life sidekick/henchman) always standing in my way ("sorry Gordon") so no, i'm not so very fond of her 
I really liked her actually, she was human, which was the best part, so it let you connect with her.
Also, do you mean the expansions as in Episodes? Because they're just HL3.
Or do you mean ones like Lost Coast etc?

Gameplay-wise she never got into my way and that's exactly what I like, just let me play my game.
Character-wise she's quite solid; good personality, likeable, not your average bimbo but a proper female character for once, not some two-dimensional "tits on a stick" kinda girl.
Plus her aim is quite good.

Nope, she's not, simply because she doesn't die and or make you rescue her every 2 seconds. Unlike, apparently, Sheva from RE5. Alyx might not offer much, but she doesn't interrupt you either.Souplex said:

Alyx is a great back up/love interest in Half Life, it gives the game that little something more that most games miss, a personality. You can almost feel the tension between Gordon and Alyx at some points in the game.
Here hoping Gordon gets to tap that in episode 3/half life 3
