G-Man Playable Hero in Dota 2

[Hectic Glenn]

​

Our investigative sleuths at ValveTime have been combing through the Dota 2 beta since the recent update this weekend and found some incredible secrets within.

It seems that the G-Man will be making a cameo appearance in Dota 2 as an 'intelligence' based hero. We were able to find the upcoming hero poster image as seen above in the game files as well the ability to select him on the hero info screen by making some config modifications.

​

The icons representing his skills are seemingly vague however they could hold the secret to when Episode 3 will be released. We will keep you updated on any progress we make.

Whoah. Won't get my hopes up for anything, but now that this day has finally come... I, uh, feel weird.

 

[-smash-]

Hmmm, wasn't expecting that.

For the love of god switch to the Lore page.

What a lovely April morning.

I'll try to make this brief:

The briefcase represents his ability to make deals with others. The portal, as you may already know, shows that he is able to travel to a certain point without having to go through physical space. The straightening of his tie emphasizes how calm and collected he is. The snoring bed reminds us all of his power to put one under stasis.

The briefcase refers to Freeman's contractual binding. The iconic image of the portal from Portal refers to the G-Man's affiliation with Aperture Science. The straightening of the tie is merely a symbolic representation of the G-Man's demeanor. The snoring bed refers to the many times the G-Man has had to put the baby, Gordon Freeman, to sleep.

My two cents have been given.
