Yes, because Half Life, the game credited with jump starting the 'you are the character' thing TOTALLY had Gordon Freeman facing away from you on the cover :-p

I don't think your theory is solid.


I don't think your analogy is solid.

You don't play Half Life as your own physicist with a crowbar, you play Half Life as Gordon Freeman, a construct of Valve. Valve chose what he looks like and Valve chose his missions and his complete story. Freeman doesn't get to customize his appearance and he doesn't get to interact with other players. I don't know what you mean by "you are the character" being a Half Life invention. How is Freeman any different than the Security Officer in Marathon?*

Sheppard faced you on the mass effect covers :-p
