Well, you don't HAVE to, but avoiding it is tricky and hardly worth the bother.

..cause you get that gunther's message "I will get you for killing navarre" anyway,right?

Uh, no, actually the story logic deals with it fine. It's just a huge pain in the ass. You have to damage Anna precisely enough that she goes into retreat mode, then herd her toward the front door, which she'll unlock (since she has the key to it).
Carefully plinking away Anna's HP while she's trying to fill you full of lead is not fun.

Actually, someone over on PDX posted a great way round this: you get anna to follow you around Unatco and get her stuck in one of the offices. I think manderley's office is good for this, as NPCs get stuck in that door ALL the time.
The go downstairs and start beating the crap out of Alex with a baton or something. He can't die, so he'll just run away: now simply herd him up to the door and out he goes, shortly followed by you.

Dr. Dumb_lunatic: "I've always wondered if you could block her off using unbreakable crates so she never gets a chance to even reach Leb. Your way sounds funnier, though".
I did. Blocked the entrance where she comes in with 3 barrels to slow her down , placed a couple of LAMS & BOOOOOOOM!
I like it when Ling keeps on following me whenever i return to the Lucky Money Club. Anyone else had this?

Yup.
Another great moment that I remembered: getting the phone call from Icarus in Paris. Absolutely inspired. I love the 'plot revelation' music that plays at those moments, too.
edit: and another one, which I've just reached as it happens: the body floating in the flooded generator room underneath Vandenberg. So much...isolation, despair. It's just so creepy.

Ling was a nice broad. We had some fun. But in the end, she just wouldn't give me my space. So I had to put her down.

..liked the conversation with Morpheus.

Is that the one where he talks about humans worshipping gods, then celebrity, then what becomes NG Resonance in DX:IW? That was a great conversation, I'd love to get the transcript of that. It was sort of like another interpretation of deus ex machina.
Actually seeing NG for the first time in DX:IW was one of my favourite moments of that game because it linked back to this.
Except I have to ask, is Morpheus a reference to The Matrix or is Morhpeus a character in Greek mythos? I really fucking hope it's not a Matrix thing, I hate that shit.

I think the best moment was when I first time completed the game. I felt a bit sad but very very happy!
