The True Citizen | Beta Consul | FULL Half-Life Lore

The Half-Life 2 Beta had so many amazing characters and concepts that were cut or adapted during development. Luckily, we are able to see a lot of what was adapted from the Half-Life 2 Leak. One of these was the original version of Dr. Wallace Breen. How was The Consul different to Wallace? Why did Valve change him?, and was this leader better or worse than the character we received? In this video, I explore the history, lore and development of The Consul from the Half-Life 2 Beta.
