Quiet type. You know the ones that never say a word. Probably beaten as a kid. Till one day he just snapped and picked up a crowbar...

Gordon Freeman is the everyman. He's the ordinary citizen on the street who becomes an unstoppable force when faced with a grave injustice. He has no relevant training, just a pissed-off will to fight, and knowledge bread from anger that the other guy can't stop him. He's Atticus Finch with an uzi.

That would be your personality, or whoever decides to pick up the game and play it's personality. Gordon does not have a personality in the game because when you play it, "you are gordon, gordon is you." I don't see how so many people fail to realize this concept and claim Half-Life has no story because it's not spoon fed to them.

I think he's either gay or a paedophile because no matter how often I crouch by Alyx's ass ant hit the use key, nothing happens.

There is no Gordon Freeman. His personality is whatever your personality is.

I disagree. In the game, Gordon is known as "the last free man." He is fighting for the freedom of the human race. These are story elements created by Valve and they certainly tell you something about the type of person Gordon Freeman is. He is also regarded as a brilliant scientist by the characters he interacts with in the game. And he risks his life for his friends. Just because you don't find out about Gordon from his own mouth doesn't mean he's a blank. Clearly he's a brave, caring, intelligent person with a sense of justice and a will to act on it.

I agree with you to a point, the developers have to guide you as gordon to a degree to progress the storyline. Gordon is portrayed as a well intended hero in a sense throughout the game, but none of them know how many scientists i've murdered myself back in Black Mesa just for the fun of it? or how I just stood back and enjoyed watching the alien threat rip them to shreds, they don't know that maybe I was just trying to save my own ass throughout the black mesa incident.

Do you see what i'm getting at? the characters have their own idea of who they think you as gordon really is, but it's up to you to act upon it or just play along and go back to your murderous rampage and taking care of yourself again. I really hope they decide to do alternate endings again before the end of the Half-Life series.

big time nerd. i mean, you'd have to be to have a ph.d. in theoretical physics. that's probably why he never speaks when spoken to by alyx; he gets all shy and awkward when girls talk to him. hyuk, hyuk, she pressed her...boobies against me when she hugged me that time. hyuk, hyuk. boobies...

Beauty and the geek, eh? Then again, Alyx has got to be quite a nerd herself to have the know-how to design and modify Dog over the years.

I second that. That must be the reason why he always kills all the scientists for no reason. I always leave the Barneys alive, though... No, I mean, HE does and not me. I'm not talking about me! I would never brutally murder innocent scientists with a crowbar!

But seriously, it's like other people have already said, the player is Gordon. So just sum up your own personality and you will know Gordon's. But I guess we can agree on some things:

1. He's a mute. No matter what you do, you can never ask Alyx to have sex with you because Gordon can't say anything.

2. His social skills suck. He doesn't get all the hints that Alyx is giving him.

2b. Or maybe he really is gay Hmm...

3. If you sum up the above, you will come to the conslusion that he's a sociopath. That would also explain why he likes killing scientists.

So Gordon is a gay sociopath... Makes sense, doesn't it?

Gordon is the kind of dude that if he is forced to fight for what he loves. hel' do it in a professional badass sort of way. Gordon keeps to himself thru the game and kills people because he knows its neccesary...

Just like me, seeing as the game puts you in that perspective that YOU are Gordon Freeman...
