I just hope that Valve doesn't try to tie up EVERY loose end in Ep3.

It would seem cheap IMO. Some things are better left ambiguous.

 

[Ennui]

I agree, but I'm also pretty confident that Valve's going to do a good job ending the story arc. We'll know enough to be satisfied but I'm sure there will still be a lot we don't know.

 

[SamuraiKenji]

Indeed i also agree.
There is really one thing i would like to find out.
And that is who the Gman is what is he why is he here who is he working for etc.

They will tie up nearly all of the existing loose ends, but in the process introduce some new ones.

 

[SamuraiKenji]

No,no i dont think they would just tie up the old ones only to have new ones pop up.
Then they might have to make another game.Bummer *sarcasm*.

 

[Asknoone]

Considering Episode 3 is not the end of the series, it's highly doubtful.

 

[Fuzileer]

Ofcourse Valve wont tie up all the ends.
They're not idiotic enough to do so.
As for learning about who the Gman is, I dont think we'll ever be told.
It'll dissapoint some, and all our personal ideas about it will end - an abrupt ending and I dont think that will be good for the community now and in the future.

How about an ending like Sgt Jackson's in CoD4...

 

[Irksome]

Gordon gets stroggified.

Spoilers above.

That and what the hell is going to happen to Lammar...

 

[dead-memory]

maybe gman will say something reallly annoying at the end making you want to cry?

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

OP, Epi three isn't the end, so they won't. Don't worry.

 

[LandStander]

I hope they don't either. It would just be too much story and too convoluted. But, I also hope they don't end it they way they ended HL2. At least some conclusion would be nice.

Don't you have faith in our benefactors? They've so far managed to supply us with no less than amazing, adhering to all our needs. Episode Three might be the end of the story arc, but there are so many questions, too many, to answer in one episode. As always, they'll simply leave you satisfied with how things panned out, and yet still curious as to what could come, still dying to hear more, to feel more etc.

Valve will end on a note as they did in Half-Life. Where a sequel is not entirely necessary, and yet still altogether possible at the same time. But no one sees the future.
