Adon
Adon is one of my favorite parts about T2. I like the first Turok the best cuz of enemy placement and level design, besides a few outsanding levels in T2 (lair of the blind ones comes to mind) but to me, besides the amazing physics and graphics, Adon is one of T2's strongest points against the original. I just love her voice actor, and her narrations, even tho you can't skip them, they are good cutscenes. Her motherly yet urgent voice over during these scenes really sets the tone for the rest of the game, nurturing and yet haunting all at the same time. I'd say she's one of the best voice actresses I can remember in gaming from that time, not that there was a lot to pick from. Its not just her narration tho, her commentary on items, switches, missions, all well done, and well pointed out. Searching through the game and then hearing her announce cerebral bore really set T2 apart from other games in my mind at the time. I hope if they ever make a new turok game, they'd include this voice actress again, if she's even still around. I also liked her character model, probably the best 3d character model for a female I can think of at the time.

One other thing I liked about Adon tho, she was a very classy introduction to the series. The first Turok was utterly devoid of any female pressense. The 2nd one introduced Adon, and did it in a very classy way imo, she wasn't some flawed evil villainous we can all hate like a bunch of violent misogenists (lol), and she wasn't some cowardly helpless save the princess story. She was a trusted advisor and someone who was helping adress the evil that was present alongside turok, almost like partners, turok wouldn't of gotten very far without her intel or mission direction. All in all I can say I really enjoyed her as a character and she made Turok2 a great game, even if my major gripe against T2 was lack of dinos, and some of the annoying theme levels (hive of the mantids bugs me).
My only real complaint about Adon, and its not really a huge complaint more of a graphical gripe, was at the end of the game when you beat the primagen and she's talking to you, her eyes blink upwards... It looks really wierd and always urked the crap outa me, Gah! Blink right that's so wierd looking... But I suppose that was just graphical limitations, hell a lot of 3d models back then didn't even blink.

What did you think of Adon? Annoying or did you like her like I did? I can't say there's anything bad about her in my mind, I even like her voice and think its one of the most distinct female voices in gaming. You could play her in multyplayer and in rage wars and it got me wondering if she'd be a good character in a new turok game, as playable. I'd enjoy playing her in a co-op type of Turok shooter.
