Vortigaunt Speculation

[epoch-]

Remember how the vortigaunts used to kill you in hl1? I sure do, and that's why I'm here to post my oppinions [/50's black and white explanatory video music]

Maybe since Freeman killed Nihlanth (sp?), he released the sentient beings of Xen from their violent nature (aka: Vortigaunts and big headed boomy flying fetus things). Seeing as Nihilanth has been speculated/assumed to be the 'last of his kind,' it would make sense that the races of xen would now be able to make their own choices, like ally with the humans and whatnot.

That might explain why the vortigaunts aren't angry about Gordon pumping shotgun shells into their friends' heads.

And some of them still do.

The chatty Vortigaunt that puts the gun on your ship seems to imply that the baby thing was controlling them, but it was a servant to the combine. He tells you he can't give forgiveness for the ones you have killed.

One Vortigaut also is very humble and says they will not forget Gordon's help (the lab helper who helps Eli in Black Mesa East).

As soon as you get off the train at the start of the game turn left towards the screen of dr breem and then turn right. You will see a vortigaunt under the control of a combine soldier. He's wearing the same green braces as the vortigaunts in HL1.

for comparision...

If you keep trying to talk to a Vortigaunt they never say the same thing. They will give you their story.

they eventually end up in a shorter loop at least the ones I've gotten to respond, but they can give alot of information.
