Something that I dont get...

[Banana_Bob]

Gman is held off by a small and ragtag group of vortigaunts, yet the Nilithanth (or however it is spelled) managed to enslave the entire vortigaunt species.

Nihilanth had that super-psychic mojo mind-control shit going on. Vorts have I dunno, ****in' alien wizards.

BTW your picture is broken. I think you didn't link to it correctly.

One more thing, on what grounds do you claim the "group of vortigaunts" was "ragtag"?

One mooore thing: from what I have seen, G-Man can only manipulate stasis or some form of time dilation, and likely purely through technological means. He's not exactly Superfiend.

 

[Rizzo]

Nilithanth had an army of controlers and other shit available. Vorts are pretty strong, hence the slave collars.

They were probably held back back by Nihilanth and his slave collars. Same goes for the ones under Combine control. Their dimension jumping and lightning shooting abilities are probably suppressed or controlled by those collars.

I doubt Nihilanth let them near any extract for starters. I imagine those collars blocked off the Vortessence or something like that.

 

[Banana_Bob]

I don't mean how it kept them in control, I mean how it got them in control.

 

[GeniusX]

Just blindly imagining things here, I think Nihilanth must have taken possession of something vital to the Vortessence and held it hostage for control over the Vorts.

 

[ríomhaire]

Also lets not forget there are the controllers too. Another race of presumably equal or greater psychic ability.

 

[McGooTheWise]

Controllers probably had better psychic ability, because they could float around like a damn kite.
