10 Video Game Characters Whose Fates Are Never Resolved

3. Gordon Freeman - Half-Life 2

Gabe Newell continues to frustrate the world's gamers by keeping series protagonist, Gordon Freeman, quite literally on ice. A new entry to the series has been promised in the form of 'Half-LIfe: Alyx' but the VR title puts players in control of Alyx Vance in the period between the original game and the beloved sequel.

The mysterious G-Man has much to answer for after waking Gordon Freeman in the opening scenes of Half-Life 2 and thrusting him right into the midst of the Combine's apocalyptic new world order; but good old Gordon prevails once again to take down the Citadel with a blast from his iconic Gravity Gun and all should be well.

Then, lo and behold, the G-Man appears once again and offers a paltry 'thank you' to Freeman for his efforts in saving the world from the nightmare the player has just gone through before muttering something about 'offers' for Freeman's services.

Gordon is then returned to stasis, credits roll and that's your lot. Goodbye. Nothing else. No more. Probably ever.

How can this be!? Who has offers for Gordon Freeman's services? Who the hell is G-Man? Will we ever know!?
