Hello Mr.Laidlaw,

Now that we can actually count the days we have to wait before we "read" that great story of yours, I have a quick question for you

Which play order you would suggest for the best game experience story wise? Portal first or Ep2 first? I guess, playing order will change the feeling of story. I love cryptic story telling method more than "finding out references to the other event we saw before" method, so which way should I go?

Hello, Canera, I'm happy to tell you that you can play Ep2 and Portal in any order you like and it won't spoil anything. The tie-in is not dependent on chronology. So just do whatever you feel like. Thanks for writing, and I'm very excited to be getting Ep2 into the hands of our fans.

Woo.
I was going to play ep2 first anyway.

Yeah I'm gonna play HL, HL2 and EP1 before, then EP2 then Portal, then I'll pass out.

Since I have school the day it comes out, I'll probably beat 1 or 2 Portal puzzles before going to school, and play EP2 when I get home.

Does anyone know how many levels there are going to be in Portal?

 

[farcrysis]

The displays on the walls says there are 19.

 

[QuantumFireball]

Sweet. Hopefully the replayability is very high. It seems like it will be.

thats certainly good to know

it wouldnt have changed my mind wat he said, i just love computer foliage/forests and scenery, physic scenes + lighting is too much...
