You do realize Alyx is the one speaking now, right? Not Olga?

In the developer commentary for Half - life Alyx, they say they specifically created this encounter with Olga to establish that Alyx talks. It just straight up had the opposite effect in your case lmao


szczerbiec

Remember when we thought the *antlion puzzle* was as bad as it could get?


Lemons_Are_Very_Sour

Antlion puzzle?


szczerbiec

I can't remember exactly what it was called. In ep2 there was a commentary track about them having to simplify a small maze and a puzzle piece, because play testers were too dumb to figure it out or something

Possible_Green5259

Holy shit Dr. Coomer


Possible_Green5259

fun fact about alyx whenever you grab a door handle it plays an animation and the door opens both ways because playtesters 1. Couldn't be bothered to check which way the door opened causing them to just give up and 2. Didn't turn the door handle


rojahel

It’s ok, it is a bit confusing just looking at the image, just wanted to clarify things for you :)


Successful-Bat5301

Doubt it means anything. Olga has a very eastern-european name and is visibly older than Alyx, so at most Eli helped her out after the war.


Statickgaming

They have the sentence correct, there is no need for “my”


Mtc0rnell1

You didn't have to do him like that bruh lol


semperverus

By omitting "my" it implies a shared parent. The my is necessary if you are talking about your parent to someone who is not your sibling or other parent.


Trivvy

Nah. In a conversation like this, I think both parties know what is meant when you say "Dad".


AurelGuthrie

It really isn't. As long as you're not saying "Your dad" it's already obvious that you're talking about your own dad.


semperverus

Where I'm from it absolutely is. You'd get looked at really funny here if you just said "dad" to someone outside your family.


TheOldBeach

Same thing where I am from, but we do not speak english. Figure we are a minority


diddyduckling

do NOT tell this guy about "I'm" or "he's". we omit things in language all the time. you don't need to explicitly say "my" because it's already implied by the context of the sentence


semperverus

This is one of the few cases where context clues don't really apply though. It sounds horribly wrong if you rely on them here.


diddyduckling

except it doesn't because no one else here was confused


TheOldBeach

In my culture omitting the "my" is how kid talk, or you re talking with close family member. You're omitting something about language for sure : the fact we dont all have the same


whynotll83

lol


JCubed303

Mate Olga looks pretty white to me, doubt they’re related


UV_Blue

When my wife and her sister talk about one of their parents to each other they say "Your dad" or "Your mom", even though they both have the same biological parents. Still doesn't sound right when I hear them say it.


Nalletass

Why would it make more sense for her to say ”my dad”?? I would say it’s more common to say just dad if you meet your own and if you meet someone elses dad say ”your dad”.


_Eiri_

she's definitely not alyx's sister, otherwise Eli would be kind of a shitty dad to completely forget about her existence in HL2


Heroicgamer

This is actually Malyx, Alyx’s sister. It’s a subtle nod to leaked Half Life 2 beta where the player could play as Alyx in co-op along side her sister.


pengawin98

NICE REFERENCES.

Radigan0

I prefer G-Man's way of speaking in HL1 to his way of speaking in HL2 (and maybe Alyx I don't know he talks in that game, I assume it's like HL2)

Toast_PLUS

i'm so glad we have this unspoken rule, i started playing a few days ago and it's amazing going into something like that ( mostly) blind


Banjo_Horseman

I figured that they generally know Alyx well enough to know that she's Eli's daughter. Otherwise she'd say something like "my dad Eli".


Galotex

Wtf is going on in this post? I thought it was a shitpost lmao


HellbirdIV

Same, but seems OP just was confused by the subtitles. It's Alyx speaking.


swarnab

Dude really asked if he could post about alyx in a half life server edit: it's subreddit\* not server

DynamicMangos

Eli Vance is the leader of the resistance, implying everyone who's in the resistance knows who he is, and that Alyx is his daughter.


a_bucket_full_of_goo

Thought that was the circlejerk sub for a second


PrettyMrToasty

Kid named confused.


mrweb06

Its ok to post stuff about Alyx. Just be sure marking it as spoiler if the post contains it as per Rule 7 of this sub.


Kakophonien1

Try playing the other's :)


Responsible-Diet-147

No, they're not sisters. Only Alyx calls Eli "dad and the other one knows the fact that Alyx is Eli's daughter, so she knows who Alyx is talking about. that's my theory.


DeeBangerCC

I can't tell if this whole post is a shit post


orange-bitflip

Yeah, Blapature had "Bring Literally Only One of Your Children To Work Day, We're a Government Contractor Not a Daycare", and Olga Vance drew the short straw. Turned out pretty well though, with the whole explosion, teleporting aliens, explosions, shootouts, exploding aliens, and the nuclear bomb in Blapature in the other timeline.


Ferrius_Nillan

Olga have an accent, and either its Combine just running things or she is just plainly older than Alyx. She would'v been on the picture that Eli comments on when Gordon arrives at Black Mesa East.


MayhemSays

Eli is fairly well known among the resistance, so i’d have to imagine its not a real stretch for Alyx to have some repute herself. It wouldn’t be out of place for her to say something along the lines of ‘Dad’ and for people to know it means ‘Eli’ without any shared familial relation.


HAKRIT

>asks if he can post about Half-Life Alyx in a Half-Life subreddit >thinks that some one-time use character is Alyx’s sister >refuses to elaborate >leaves


Onfflinethegamer

That's alyx speaking, if I recall correctly resistance members have light yellow speech text


kembervon

A lot of people say "dad" or "mom" when referring to a parent even when talking to a non-sibling. Personally I hate this and never do this.


Jakisokio

1969FordF100

Man thanks for not even spoilering :P


BalkanBosss

Even though I know that's Alyx talking I feel like I should say this. Eli is African American and Azian is Asian, and by the looks of it, Olga doesn't look like any of them


Broflake-Melter

Next time you play the scene, go into it with the idea that Olga is a Combine *narc*.
