Uh, I think she really looks like woman in Portal. In fact, the first thing you do is seeing Chell through the first portal so you can understand that are a human and the mechanics of the portals. Btw, you see blood on the walls when getting shot by the turrets.
Anyway, in EP2 they say that BlackMesa competitor: Aperture Science, had problems with the government because they where doing science in an illegal (and fast) way. I thought that they were refering about using human subjects to test their technology. Also, the knee replacement is just some kind of suppport for the big falls and was a mere aesthetic detail (mainly, and with the first maps of the game, everyone was asking why she didn't break her legs, so they added that)
I don't get your argument at all. And yeah thanks, video-game things do not work in real life.From The Dust said:you do know those don't work that way right? you also know, Valve made those specificly to stop the testers from saying "how could she survive that fall?"

There are several references to Chell being an android in Portal, like GladOS reminding you that Android hell is a real place and that you'll be sent there at the first sign of disobedience. Androids are designed to look and feel like humans, or even be partly human so GladOS also referring to Chell's human traits isn't out of the question.

I thought she was talking about the test chamber (where he mentions that) was intended for robots. I don't remember her specificly talking to Chell on that part. can you provide a full quote?
dave is ok

so...She's a T-800, fucking great.EVH said:
Honestly I had already heard she was an android by that point, it's just the assumption I had been playing the game with. The game made it seem like every human was dead and there was no one 'still alive' so they had to test on a robot.

Because it was a prerecorded message for the terrified robot test subjects. See: ATLAS and P-Body in Portal 2.Spire said:

ok then, that's it. I knew I wasn't crazy.Spire said:
Chell = Android and away I go.
edit: those robot test subjects are new to Portal 2, they weren't around then but they are now.
Just because of that? Give me a brake! If I remember correctly GLaDOS mentions Chell hometown once. Androids have hometowns, then?BobTheFork said:
edit: isnt there also that blue gate-thing where it reboots all robot-things and the Portal gun? If you take a turret through it, it vanishes. Oh, and the taste of blood.

meh, I already thought she was an android and people were acting like I just made it up. There's evidence so I'll just keep thinking what I thought before I read this threadderFeef said:
What was that hometown btw?
edit: yeah, what he said.
derFeef said:
Human robot hybrids certainly can.
I always assumed, and I never really gave it much thought because it honestly isn't important, that Chell was a human that they've done extensive experiments on and is now part human, part robot. They're purposefully vague and allude to both, so I filed her under "android", or maybe even "cyborg" and got on with it.
The hometown quote is clearly automated, in fact the punchline of it is that it's automated.
Atlas and P-Body walk through the portal reset fields all the time in the Portal 2 footage we've seen, that means nothing. It's just a way for Valve to make sure the player doesn't have anything weird going on for when they load the next level. And human robot hybrids can have blood.
Spire said:
But when you first enter the level, Glados says that it was initially intended for androids.
The "android hell" line is (or is supposed to appear to be) an automated line played for all the military androids who participate in the live-fire course. It has nothing to do with Chell's actual identity.

The Portal 2 comic shows her forms and interview regarding signing up.
She's a person, Valve really isn't "ambiguous" at all about this.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
The ESRB rating changes depending on the boxart. I've seen a lot of RP (Rating Pendings), and a T (Teen) and a E (Everyone).
Probably doesn't mean anything. Prrrrrrrobably.
I have my single, solitary potato from Amnesia. I'm excited!

That form was filled out by GladOS (one of the lines reads "SUBJECT REFUSED TO ANSWER"). I don't think Chell signed up, I thought she was basically kidnapped on Bring Your Daughter to Work Day?
And I'm not saying Chell wasn't a human initially, just that's she's been experimented on with android tech.
