Alyx Vance

Haven’t played Half Life 2 in a long time but if I recall correctly Alyx is a bubbly adorakable Gordon Freeman fangirl who flirts with you when she meets you.  
She’s not unlike Twilight come to think of it.
 
This fits with the game being a nerd power fantasy naturally but apparently she’s hailed as one of the most believable female characters in gaming.
 
Did I miss something?

Maybe the nerd power fantasy is so different from the traditional alpha-male power fantasy that it’s mistaken for progress?

Dont misunderstand me, I don’t care about “progress” I just find it funny. I prefer the Whatevs power fantasy personally || which is basically just my life ||
