Shephard returning as a recurring boss like Vergil from DMC or Kuze from Yakuza in a future game is a dream of mine, it makes so much sense too; Having replaced Gordon, G-Man seeks to tie up loose ends and awakens Shephard, reminds him of Gordon's role in Black Mesa, then supplies him with countless weapons and drops him off not too far from Gordon and Eli's location. It could serve as a reminder that while Gordon is a survivor and a badass, he's not a killing machine like Shephard.

I can imagine a possible boss fight where gordon fights Shephard With shepard having the weapons he acquired in the past probably sent by gman as a way to test gordon. Phase one would be on the ground with him ducking and moving from cover to cover firing at gordon. Phase two he would use the grapple barnacle to cling to walls while firing at a distance with you having to fire at the appendage of the barnacle several times to bring him down. The final stage could have him rushing you down with an smg and combat knife in a last ditch attempt to take gordon down.

I came in really early to this video, and so I wanted to finally state my appreciation not only to the fictional character, Adrian Shephard, but to you. Your way of narrating and expressing your thoughts it's actually very unique and special in my opinion, your speech lets me concentrate into the themes of your videos and also goes for a slowed down but at the same time fast paced narration, unlike some people going on way too fast in these kind of videos. This character is really interesting and my heart really believes Adrian has his place in the post-Half-Life 1 Universe. It would be nonsensical to remove his canonicity entirely or confirm it directly rather than putting him into a game to give a little spark of surprise, but the mistery that Half-Life has between games as to whether they are canon stories viewed by the vision of the protagonist is really interesting and intriguing. That said, both topics are an excellent addition to Half-Life, your voice and way of speech, and Half-Life itself. Thanks.

This comment is the best thing I have read all week. I really appreciate the kind words of support. I would pin this but I thought I'd leave something to boost the engagement and KZready stuff! Narration is a huge thing and it's taken well over a year to get it just right. I like to do these lore videos as a documentary kinda thing where we're actually in the universe with them and how it's effected the world. I'm glad you picked up on that. I agree with everything you've stated about Adrian and the world and I thank you for taking the time to comment. It's made me day (as well as this video being the best performing video I've had in the first few hours of posting) Thanks again!

I didn’t even realize that the situation in which Adrian spots Gordon is supposed to be that Adrian could kill Freeman or let him go, I just thought it was a cool cameo where it’s like “let me follow yo-AHHHHHhhhhhh..”

I never thought about how sinister the implications were that the HECU was preparing for a Resonance Cascade. The G-Man had it all planned out this far in advance.

If Adrian ever appears in HL3, I think it’ll be as an antagonist to Gordon. With the ending to Half Life Alyx, it seems that the series is gonna go in the direction of Gordon turning against the G-man. Because Adrian is in the G-man’s arsenal. It could be possible that he pit’s the two together. It would also sort of harken back to HL1 with Gordon fighting against the HECU.

unless he didn't have adrian in his back pocket. there's always the possibility that shepard escaped when the vortigaunts broke gordon out of Gman's deep-freeze. a potential opening for a game starring Adrian shepard could have him awaken in the osprey that opposing force ended on, which is on a crash course, before passing out and waking up after the osprey crashed, climbing out of the wreckage and then collapsing. he could end up being found by some resistance fighters and taken in for questioning. this would allow for his Powered Combat Vest to be modified to accept power from combine technology by one of the resistance scientists such as kleiner, although he wouldn't get it back until he proves to them that he can be trusted.

I have a theory that the next time Adrian appears it will be to help Alex escape. Sence they are both in stasis it would make sense for them to some how meet and work togever to exit the stasis

I think the issue Valve has had with Adrian isnt that they dont want to use him, rather they dont know what would require *his* use over Gordan's. In most situations, it would make more sense to use Gordan over using Adrian considering their similar skillset (though Gordon very likely having more intelligence). After all, even the Gman doesnt really know what to do with Adrian, only that he'd be more of use under his control than simply out in the wild. I could see Adrian possibly being used by the Gman to hinder or if possible kill Gordon in the new timeline created by HL Alyx wherein Eli and Gordon betray the Gman after he takes Alyx. Some sort of puppet of the Gman, maybe being a sort of third party that hinders both the rebellion and the combine from reaching the Borealis before the Gman would want either party to? Thats my best guess

Honestly missed opportunity to have the VR game be about Shepherd. Like seriously G-Man gets captured by combine and so he activates his one last wild-card.

Thanks for watching ☺

Mr Shephard……is it that time again? Great Half-Life video. Can’t wait for the next one. I hope you’re feeling better. From being under the weather.

Really love all your content man, it's fucking superb.

I learned so much about half-life from your channel. Thank you!

i think what would be cool is that in a future half life game while playing freeman in an urban area hearing shepards M4 gun shots but not being able to see him , like thourgh a crack in a wall when he closes the door behind him (not being able to see him of course) is the best i can thing that they can add him with out acctully adding him

I've always thought it would be cool for Half Life 3 to announce with the 3 main characters on the front. Gordon in the middle, alyx on the left, shepherd on the right. Gman's hit-squad.

Awesome videos my guy!

Thank you for watching!

If Half-Life 3 ever comes out and they do save Alex from stasis like its implied they will after the ending cutscene of Alex I hope they save Adrian as well honestly I just want to see interactions between Gordon and Adrian because seeing a HECU and a black Mesa scientist having to work together just sounds stupid funny to me

fantastic video mate ^_^ Adrian Shephard is the best

Thank you! He really is.

Has anyone ever thought that Corporal Adrian Shephard could in fact be the G-man ?? Please note that the true face of Corporal Adrian Shephard is never revealed in the Half Life : Opposing Force like we know how Barney and Freeman look in Half Life : Blue Shift and Original Half Life game, but we do not know how Shephard looks. G-man may have travelled back in time and started off with the chain of events to occur which makes Corporal Shephard transform into the G-man in the future. Since in the final words to Shephard moments before detaining him and the end credit rolls, the G-man makes a particular statement which says that he reminds the G-man of himself, which could be a direct reference to the past when G-man was actually the marine Corporal Shephard but later got transformed into the G-man by the so called employers who are not yet revealed in the Half Life universe. I know many will say why didn't anyone recognize him in the past or why he didn't look like Corporal Shephard. He wasn't recognized by face maybe because he was transformed at a genetic level and altered his face and speech to be unrecognized as that Corporal Adrian Shephard. So no one really knew who he was. If thats true we now have to know how this transformation takes place when Corporal Shephard becomes the G-man. I'm eagerly waiting for this plot twist to be revealed since 1999.

Can’t wait to see him in HL3

I still love that opposing force is the first and last time in the entire half life universe that the G-man is officially named the G-man outside of the files, being on the cover art for the console cd of the game.

Man I just can't get enough of half life lore. Awesome video

Thank you :D

if Shephard was born in 1978 and was 22 at the time of the Black Mesa incident, it must have happened in either 2000 or 2001

I thought that too. It's difficult with Valve retconning a lot of info

I have a theory: in the HL2 beta that Deadwater played, the main character wasn’t Gordon, but someone named Gasmask Citizen 21, and who else wore a gasmask in the Half Life series and was playable? Adrian. Shepherd, So I think Adrian was originally going to be the main character of HL2

Thank you for mà long a video about adrian i have search thật about 3 months

Glad you found the channel. I have so many videos on the great characters of Half-Life.

Adrian is cannon due to Barney being cannon since he appears in HL2.

What would be sick is reintroducing us to Adrian at some unspecified point after his removal from stasis. He's been working, just covertly. Perhaps he's in some special resistance cell a la Wolfenstein with prior HECU buddies. What would be really cool is if his spinoff game has completely different mechanics and game design closer to a tactical shooter to convey his training and difference in perspective.

I miss Shepard more than my Grandpa.

I feel if Valve ever does do HL3, Shephard would come in as a fellow companion like Barny.

My man's only 22 and saved earth from Race X, but funi glasses goatee man failed to kill 1 old man.

Man, I'd like to see a handfull of HECU soldier that managed to survive the whole thing appearing in the continuation of the lore, training the resistance or fighting along other survivors from the 7H war.

Great stuff

I think Opposing Force is fully canon. We know based on later HL games that Black Mesa did in fact got nuked... And the only place we hear about that nuke is in Opposing Force, therefore it can kinda confirm that Opposing Force is part of the original story. People say its non-canon because no one else faced Race X aliens at Black Mesa except Adrian and some other HECU soldiers. However, as it was explained here... Race X only started to arrive after the portal was complete and the gene worm had finally arrived. All of this happened shortly after Gordon teleported to Xen, so he simply couldn't have faced Race X aliens sense he never saw them arriving. Also when Return to Ravenholm was developed by Arkane, its known that Valve took an interest to make it canon to the story... So it would only make sense that Opposing Force would be canon as well as we know Adrian is the guy we were supposed to play in Return to Ravenholm. The one thing I wish about Return to Ravenholm is that it would have come out in any matter there is... The game looks truly gorgous and it definitely can stand up to Valve's standards.

Adrian: At least he gave me food, water and a tv to keep myself from getting board while I’ve been in this void

Only Adrian Shephard, survivor of the Black Mesa incident, could stop them. _But, when the world needed him most, he vanished..._

I just want Return to Ravenholm man, i need to see more of my boy Shephard.

With Alyx now controlled by G-Man and Gordon and Eli out to find him, maybe G-Man could take Shepherd out of stasis to hunt Gordon down and manipulate him into thinking that the Resistance's actions could jeopardize everything his "employers" have worked to achieve. To this end, you'd fight both the Resistance and Combine, it's pretty clear G-Man isn't working with them.

It would be wonderful to see an addon to the HL story with this character.

gordon prevented xen from getting anywhere further out of black mesa adrian shephard just prevented an entirely new invasion

You know, I never understood why the black ops team was told to target the biohazard containment unit. Either the unit could be trusted with both the knowledge of what happened at Black Mesa and dealing with the cleanup or they couldn't. If they couldn't, why did you waste so much money on training them and why did you decide to send them in if you're going to have them all killed afterwards? Not to mention this also means a loss in black ops personnel so essentially you're just wasting assets all around. Remember that the military moved in with considerable hardware including tanks, attack helicopters, mortars, jets, APCs, a whole supply fleet, ospreys etc. That stuff is really fucking expensive to just throw away.

The black best security guards. The HECU marines, and black ops were supposed to work together as an effective clean up image if they did as they were meant too.

Lost Coast would have been an nice small story for Adrian tbh.
