All-Knowing Vorginaut
While riding the water ski in the Canal levels, you come to a point where you fight a Combine Gunship before you can progress. After you destroy the gunship, look around that area and you will find two sewer tunnels, one of them has a grate which is ajar and you can slip through.
Sprint through the radioactive waste and exit through the hole in the tunnel to find a vorginaut with a sore throat. Talk to him many times to hear all he has to say.
really interesting, you and I are one. It makes the gears turn <_<
does he say any other things?[snapback]35596[/snapback]
Are you sure bob?Yep, it's standard. Talk to the vort that gives you the gun for the airboat, same sayings. They're standard. In fact, if you noclip through to areas you're not supposed to be, vorts will say the same things there. (Like Eli's kitchen, for example)
So basically, Valve put that Vorti there to trick you.I'm not totally sure, it may be a leftover bit of a part of the game that was removed. I know the game went through a ton of changes before the final version. If you open up the source sounds gcf file with gcfscape and listen to some of the sayings, you can work out some interesting details. For one thing, the votigaunts originally were intended to fight alongside you at one point, like the citizens do. They have all kinds of sayings for when they kill someone, or for when you talk to them while they're with you, and the human squad member even have responses built in for when a vortigaunt speaks. All of it was cut, for some reason. Maybe they didn't have time to properly build the AI for them, or something. Hopefully we'll see more vorti sidekicks in some later expansion.
