  I love how Rattmann actually is a hero and basically Chell&apos;s savior despite her never seeing him. Having someone you can never thank but know that you owe your life too, adds so much drama and tragedy to Chell&apos;s experience.

  I love how Henry’s idea of safety first is telling Doug to use his non-dominant hand to reach through a set of gears and power on the morality core. Like “you <i>might</i> lose your hand so we should make sure it’s not the one you write with”

  it&apos;s crazy how a character you never see has such a large background.

  I&apos;d like to think Rattmann was somehow still alive during Portal 2. Granted, if so, he would probably have been killed when Wheatley tore the facility apart but, still that&apos;s my thought.

  I absolutely love the portal games. at first glance it&apos;s lighthearted fun playing with portals but the real story of aperture is so dark and full of tragedy, I loved plying through and piecing it together and finding out what really happened.

  I love how the pictures get more scruffy and less smooth as the story goes on to show Doug’s deteriorating mind

  The scary part, they honestly would&apos;ve been in more danger outside. They probably dodged a massive, MASSIVE bullet with the word &quot;combine&quot; etched on it.

  If we ever were to play as Doug in a portal game I want to see how they incorporate his metal issues have the company cube talk to use, have Glados mock and gaslight us, show us how he sees the world

  I always wondered if GLaDOS didn&apos;t subconsciously avoid killing Doug and Chell. Of the researchers in Aperture Doug was the only one that didn&apos;t think abusing her was a good idea. And GLaDOS has some sort of connection to Chell from back when she was a Child when GLaDOS was first turned on as shown by the potato plant in Portal 2. Don&apos;t think we will even find out. sm

  Slight correction there: Doug&apos;s voice can be heard around <b>any</b> mural in the second game.

  What a shame, that despite all his effort, he did succeed in saving all the test subjects, but all but Chell died in the end, anyways.
