If you think a woman will fall for a mute guy after 10 minutes, you are kidding yourself. I know about people being attracted to others obviously, but what happens in HL2 is just rediculous. Sorry, but if you think it isn't, then your idea of socail normailty and mine are completely different. 
Adults don't have crushes; kids have crushes. Working in an office I can tell you that other then "oh he looks nice", that is as far as a "crush" will go. 

Oh bs am I taking it to literally. With that in mind then I could say that everyone who says "oh but a speech circle doesn't appear in real life" about Mass Effect, which then makes ME's way of telling a story far better as you are interacting with the game's characters.

So you are saying I can't criticise HL2's choice in narrating because it's "just rediculous"? That's just a failure to actually find a hole in my criticism which you can actually explain. 
"It's logic and it's rules"?? So then we ignore cliches, bad voice acting etc? Obviously we don't. I'm not criticising the gameplay, I'm criticising the story. 

Long story short, if Gordon doesn't speak, then the world should act like that otherwise it breaks immersion as the character's reactions don't make sense. Falling for a mute guy is just absurd and playing on the "gamers are sex starved virgins" stereotype.

Either you work in some really boring places, or you're oblivious to the fact that some of your co-workers are "at it". I know of at least 5 different office romances that have started in my last 2 workplaces.

I never said there were no office romances, I said none of them are going to fall for someone they see and have never spoken to. Adults vs kids.
