Forgive me if this has been talked about previously. I tried to search a similar topic, but couldn't didn't find any (granted I didn't look into every single thread). Anyway, onto my question/complaint.
With Half-Life 2 and Episode 1, we had only seen brief glimpses of the advisors. But in Episode 2, we see the advisors up close in all their glory. I just played Ep2 recently and I only noticed then that the gruby f*** was just that... a grub. It had some sort of eye attachment and a nose accessory that looked like that if was an extra from Battle Field Earth, but other than that, it was pretty much " naked". It was only at the finale of Ep2 that I noticed that the 2 advisors had "arms" attached to them, fully equipped with with 3 fingers. My question is why?
When we have our first close encounter with an advisor, it uses its telekinesis to control us as well as the objects around it. It picks up Gordon, Alyx, the dead resistance member, and an empty barrel. It crushes the barrel, discards the barrel, and proceeds to pull Gordon (us) and Alyx closer until an explosion caused it to flee in a hurry. But it did this without those prosthetic arms. So when we see the two advisors at ep2's finale, they are both sporting some new arm upgrades and use them to hold us as well as Eli. My question is: why? The have already shown to have a superior use of telekinesis powers, why do the need the small, elongated arms? What purpose would they serve?
I can understand the need for seeing and breathing devices, but when its evident that they can control their environment fully on mind power alone, why use the arms?
Just a thought that was bugging me. Is there a logical theory as to why they would use that? Just wonderin.
