ok the C17 is in Bulgaria or Russia because there are a lot of people who say it is in Bulgaria but the C17 is inspired in soviet cities so which one is right?

City-17 is the city of Sofia, Bulgaria. Where the art director of Half-Life 2 grew up in. In Half-Life: Alyx, the map of City-17 is actually a road layout of Sofia. While the game is most likely set somewhere in Bulgaria, the game takes inspiration from many different parts of Eastern Europe. This goes for languages on signs, building architecture, car models, etc. Another thing to take note of is that Half-Life 2 repurposes a lot of different textures that were made around the time that Half-Life 2 was going to be set somewhere in America.
but you don't think it makes any sense for the signs in city 17/Sofia to be in english, that's why I use that mod that puts the signs in Russian because at least there are some things in city 17 that are in russian
No. Blame Valve though.
though what
of course is in bulgaria because i live in bulgaria and i can confirme that is in bulgaria
but what about Soviet inspiration?
the art director for half life 2 was Viktor Antonov who is also from Bulgarian also not to mention most of the signs are in bulgarian not only in hl2 but in alyx
as far as I know (which in this case is not much) the signs that are not in English are in Russian and I know that in Bulgaria they don't speak Russian
im to lazy to explain so just watch this youtube.com/watch?v=bOg59e23QPM
ok C17 is a mixture of eastern europe cities but why did they put so many languages? wasn't it just to put Bulgarian and that's it?
There isn't a mix of a lot of languages it's just Bulgarian. The cyrillic alphabet is Bulgarian, but other slavic countries also use it. I hope we cleared that out. You're wrong, the other dude ks right, since you seem to not know anything about Bulgaria and/or slavic countries.
