Sam Fisher was going to be here. He defeated a dozen armed guards, snuck past a dozen more, hacked 20 doors, beat down and interrogated Shephard, Hawke and the Prince of Persia, wit-dueled Guybrush Treepwood and Manny Calavera, beat Duke in his SATs, and poker-faced the crap out of Max Payne. He performed acrobatics worthy of the world's best trapeze artist to get here. However, he did all that only to be greeted by a crowbar in the face. What makes Gordon great is the fact he's just a smart guy, not a hero, although he's forced to become one by circumstance. But I digress; what makes him great is that the "Free man" is tabula rasa. He doesn't speak. He doesn't emote. Hell, you don't even see him. You are him. You get to fill that head of his with your version of his thoughts, making it so much easier to connect with him.
