Everyone is trying to kill Gordon Freeman....

[MadDogBV]

No, it's still a crime. I think it's just a misdemeanor instead of a felony. Not that anyone could ever arrest Freeman anyway...

 

I need to go through the entire collection of episodes again and compile a rap sheet of federal/state crimes that Gordon Freeman has committed in his little expedition through Black Mesa. I think there have to be a few OSHA violations in there too.

It's only a crime when they have evidence.

Three cheers for nuking the crime scene! Also, he didn't leave any fingerprints because he was wearing his suit.

It's not like there's cameras anywhere, and he can't use a single retinal scanner so it's not like there's any computer record of him.

 

Freeman's going to suffer some serious PTSD when he gets out of here.

PTSD? Not so much, I think, though he will definitely have nightmares about the screeching Houndeyes. And he probably won't eat Doritos again.

PTSD is only really an issue when you go back to "ordinary" human life afterwards. If you remain in the traumatic situation then your hyper stressed mentality isn't actually a disorder, it's perfectly fitting for the circumstances.

 

And since Freeman isn't going to be living in white-picket-fence-suburbia any time soon, and is in fact going to continue living as a fugitive in an alien-infested world, it will be completely rational and reasonable for him to run around in a heightened state of alertness, screaming and shooting at everything he sees.
