oh my god i just
okay this is really, really good, damn, Crowbar Collective did an AMAZING job with the Xen part of this game, no wonder it took so long, it's like they took the general concept of Xen ,and then just... said... "fuck it let's make our OWN Xen, just... toss out all the OG Half Life xen shit."
It's amazing. You actually find a village of Vortigaunts and you don't have to kill any of them. I mean you meet some earlier that if you don't kill just run away

oh. ... oh dear you directly HAVE to do something that causes an alarm to be raised and ... oh wow that explains why they fight you at first sight earlier. they're being controlled. Wow... poor things. ;; also no matter what at least one Vort dies during the attack where the Controllers turn up and mind control them all to kill you. Each Controller you take out though saves all the vorts they were controlling at least!..

Okay if I have one complaint it's that... some of the structures and archetecture are just... way too human in Xen, as in stuff NOT constructed by humans.
like, there's a few obviously human bits of tech in Xen from previous expeditions, but like in areas where there's clearly no human influence, there's... very human looking windows y'know??
