 | | Yes, it would be more fun if there were two routes along the coast to Nova Prospekt, but HL2 (and other FPS games) are not about character development, they're not about the choices you make, they're not about a complex system of artefacts and backstory. |
 | | You're told to hot-foot it to Nova Prospekt and the last thing you want when you get there is to inadvertently get on the wrong road and wind up back on the damn beach. |
 | | Now, I hear you saying "that's just a design issue - make it so once you get to Nova Prospekt the alternative doors are locked, there's a rockfall over the other road or something" and I agree - it's not impossible to put in multiple routes and get around these problems. |
