Well, I'm sure we all have our theories about what will happen in Episode 3 of the Half-life 2 series, so let's hear them.
I've also put a poll asking you who you think will be the ending boss.
Alyx Vance - Perhaps Valve will take a page out of the Bioshock book and make the final boss someone you know and trust. Plus, it'd be a great plot twist to make Alyx the boss, unless it's just something as simple as a Headcrabbed Alyx.
GLaDOS - Well, Valve said that there would be a Portal character in Episode 3, so why not have GLaDOS as the final boss, huh?
Some big squidgy Combine thing - Pretty self-explanitory. One of the more likely options, and a safe option story-wise.
G-Man - This guy has had a butt-whooping coming his way for a while now. If you bump him off, perhaps Gordon can finally have his freedom.
Ben "Yahtzee" Crosshaw (?) - There has to be some reason Valve invited him over several weeks ago...
That new guy from Episode 2 - As Yahtzee pointed out, introducing a new character at this stage is rather suspicious...
Barney Calhoun - Same reason as Alyx, really.
Someone else/No ending boss - Well, they might have a different character as the final boss. Perhaps Eli, Dr. Breen or even Dr. Mossman? Or, perhaps, they might forego the final boss altogether?
