Alpha Protocol (Video Game)	comment	Alpha Protocol is an espionage RPG developed by Obsidian Entertainment and released in May 2010 for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.The year is 2010. Worldwide political tensions are at a breaking point when a commercial airliner is shot down by a U.S. missile over the Middle East, killing all aboard. The U.S. government claims no involvement, and dispatches Agent Michael Thorton to investigate and bring those responsible to justice.As the first modern-day spy roleplaying game, Alpha Protocol offers unprecedented control over the development of Thorton's abilities and his interactions with other characters. Upgrade skills such as physical combat, weapons mastery, and cutting-edge technology as you grow in experience and complete missions. The game is also noteworthy for having an immensely branching storyline. Almost any single choice and many of your conversation options can result in different events or endings. Unlike games like those in the Mass Effect series or Telltale's The Walking Dead, your game can completely change. Events can play out differently, some missions may or may not become available and certain characters might not even appear at all.The main themes of the game is that of deception and betrayal. Treachery is common, as expected in a spy and espionage thriller, and there are lies upon lies and wheels within wheels. Everyone has secrets and everyone's agenda is suspect. Finding who to trust and who is manipulating the player is integral to the game's storyline.One of the more interesting features of the game is its perk system. You get rewarded with perks that boost your stats slightly for your actions during the game... regardless of what those actions are. That's right, you can get perks for doing virtually anything, which means that the game does not overly reward or punish the player for making specific gameplay or plot choices. There's no "good" or "bad," just results.The game received mixed reviews but in retrospect has gained Cult Classic status. While its innovative story and dialogue systems were praised, some found fault with its gameplay, graphics, and/or lack of polish. Sales were soft enough that Sega has no plans to release a sequel. Obsidian expressed tentative interest in making a sequel or Spiritual Successor back in 2011, but nothing has come of it yet.In 2019, Alpha Protocol was pulled from Steam store shelves due to music licenses expiring, making the game lost media for several years. On March 20th 2024, GOG.com announced that they had gained the rights to port the game in a collaboration with Sega, shadow-dropping it on their stores that same day.Examples

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_128e4ba8	comment	Gatling Good: To quote one of the Taipei mission debriefings: "During the pursuit, Steven Heck (at Agent Thorton's request) arrived to offer emergency backup. Said backup came in the form of Heck crudely mounting a minigun to a subway car and firing wildly at Chinese secret police officers as his train passed the platform." If you choose to bring down the entirety of Alpha Protocol, one of your final fights is with Yancy, who uses a trio of them — though only one at a time of course — for maximum room coverage.

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: A talented, snarky spy named Michael framed for something he didn't do and forced to go rogue? Not that it's uncommon for spy thrillers to feature someone out to clear their name (and Alpha Protocol was started before Burn Notice before languishing in Development Hell), but it is an amusing coincidence. In Alpha Protocol, you can choose to be the suave secret agent who specializes in gadgetry, the stealthy martial arts expert who's coldly professional, and even the aggressive weapons expert who gets things done, no matter who he pisses off. Heck, the developers even lampshaded it with the marketing. The three stances were described multiple times as "the Three J.B.s"!

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77	type	Multiple Endings
Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77	comment	Multiple Endings: Four of them, with dozens of variations. They are as follows: "Crime Buster": Mike exposes Halbech, causing it to go out of business, but is either unable or unwilling to expose Alpha Protocol, leaving the agency free to reform under another name. "No Compromise, No Mercy": Mike exposes both Halbech and Alpha Protocol leading to the dissolution of both organizations. "Rising Star": Mike becomes Leland's dragon and the two of them make it look as though Alpha Protocol was solely responsible for the conspiracy. "Thorton, inc.": Same as above, except Mike betrays Leland and uses his allies to rule the world behind the scenes. Most sub-variants of the four above depend on who is Mike's handler for the final mission and who rides off into the sunset with him. It could be Mina, who will show up by default if you romanced her, or Scarlet if you romanced her but not Mina (and also depending, of course, on whether they lived or died). Steven Heck will pop up if he's been selected as your handler and the criteria for the other two haven't been met; he can save you from being sniped as well. Failing all that, Mike will ride the boat home alone, talking to himself.

Stealth abilities are a means to an end - the end of running up to your opponents silently and choking them unconscious/cutting their throats. There are, however, certain missions which will mention whether or not you managed to completely evade detection and ghost the level, such as the CIA listening post in Rome. It is far easier to use exceptional stealth abilities to sneak around and knock out every guard without being detected, but entirely evading detection is difficult, if not impossible, on some levels.

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_23698fa8	comment	Aborted Arc: Sis' locket never comes up again after Mike shows it to Albatros. Although intentional, in general, G22's objectives are never explained. It's implied that they're a previous iteration of Alpha Protocol, but that doesn't explain what they're doing now, nor why they're doing it, beyond a general "fighting against Halbech" objective. The Locket is a representation of Saint George. In the tale of Saint George and the dragon, a King (Albatross) unwillingly offers his daughter (Sis) to a dragon only for her to be saved by Saint George. Depending on whether he kills or saves Sis, Michael could either be the dragon or the saint. The meeting with Albatross in Moscow hints that they're interested in preserving the status quo, or at very least have a vested interest in preventing Halbech's "mistake" turning into World War III. The game never explains the mysteries behind the NSA agent in Rome; he is clueless to the passphrase and rather gullible if you attempt to play your cards right (implying he is an Unwitting Pawn), but later conversations with Marburg and Leland if you kill the agent ("You added an NSA agent to your body count in Rome") confirm that he was one (perhaps unwilling, or perhaps the passphrase simply hadn't reached the agent at that time). There is a lot of extra reading you can do in the game with emails you get forwarded from Mina, email systems you can hack in some levels, and dossier intel that is left (presumably intentionally) ambiguous and to try to flesh out the game's realism with the espionage community.

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_2536f695	comment	If you beat the game with the recruit background you can play through again with the Veteran background. This starts you off with three levels in every skill (with no effect on your future AP), and with better armour and weapons. Also a bit of a Game-Breaker: after the initial mission, you have the option of customizing your character, and there's absolutely nothing preventing you from removing AP from the skills you won't use and bumping up the skills you do. You can max out three skills (to the level limits, anyway) before you leave Saudi Arabia. Also a Bragging Rights Reward since beating the game as a Recruit means you've proven that you don't need those extra skill points.

So if you want to play Michael as an extra-Manipulative Bastard who only seemed like he was doing good right up until he decides to work for the bad guys, you can go for it. True to form, Obsidian have planned for the latter approach and it'll be noted that "nobody could ever understand what's going through [Mike's] head".

A generalist build is doable but very difficult if you don't know what you're doing. On the flipside, completely neglecting the other aspect will end poorly; stealth/technical builds need some investment in combat skills for the unskippable bosses and combat builds need some investment in technical to pass some puzzles.

This is reference to the ship from cult Soviet cartoon "Captain Vrungel's adventures". An unintentional one with a sign that says, "In case of fire, steal, kill, fuck geese, wait for a response whistleâ€�. It seems the creators honestly googled for pictures of Russian fire warning signs but happened on a photoshopped one.

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_33ca811a	comment	Game-Breaking Bug: A few missions, like the Embassy in Moscow, will sometimes credit you with an entirely different approach in the debriefing. A few of these are major enough to completely change the ending like when said mission in Moscow says you shot US Marines even though you actually fought beside them in the mission. This can be avoided by not ever using the second story "sneaking route" entrance, either leaving or exiting the building. Opening that triggers an event flag that says you sided against the Marines, even when you never fired a shot or were never even seen. And if you paid extra for the sniper rifle delivery to the roof, you'll just have to climb up the ladder from outside the building in order to access it. Also with the early Saudi missions as part of the railroading. Doorways and the like are one way only. If you find a way to back track, you can fall through the floor and need to reset the game.

According to a secret fact given by Albatross if you refuse to ally with him in Moscow, it mentions that one iteration was called G19, and Albatross knows of Alpha Protocol's inner workings. It helps that Alpha Protocol follows an apparently well-established policy of "Yellow Brick Roading," whereby each agent sets up their own funds, supplies, contacts, and safehouses, meaning that any agent could theoretically shoot off and do their own thing if the organization goes under.

He not only knows about Halbech, Alpha Protocol, G22, and every other organization's dirty secrets but ALSO knew that Scarlet was the sniper in Taiwan...which he takes all in total stride and chooses to focus on making probably the longest run on conspiracy theory sentence you'll ever read. What's even weirder is how Steven Heck's conspiracy e-mail isn't as crazy as you would think! While he does add some bits of crazy in there (going on about a one-world government and such), there's a part in it later about banks offering people loans they couldn't pay off, and using that to claim property when they didn't pay up. This eerily reflects many sentiments in real life concerning a recent event in American history where it was thought that banks had offered people loans they couldn't pay off for just that purpose.

So Mike certainly comes off as this when he keeps a low reputation with her, and especially this if he kills or abandons her in the endgame. Also, Madison went out on a limb trying to warn Mike of how Marburg wants him dead; so Mike is also this if he keeps a low reputation with her and acts rude to her. Doing enough of this will eventually cause Madison to surprise-attack you with a lamp and stun you with a stun gun as she storms out of your safehouse. Sis, even though you would've spared her life to see this scene, will point her guns at you at the start of the "Contact Albatross" mission in Moscow. She, by helping you in future missions, can make up for this though. If you beat up or intimidated Grigori, Surkov, despite you literally having just saved his life, will pull a gun on you without hesitation in the "Intercept Surkov at US Embassy" mission.

In addition to his more exotic hand-to-hand training, he also has the option of incapacitating a downed enemy with a particularly vicious stomp. If you level up his martial arts skills, you also have the option to take out your pistol (or SMGs, or Assault Rifle, or Shotgun...) and shoot your opponent point blank, right after you've punched them in the face. Or, even better, you can shoot opponents while they are down. Both are great ways to tell a person to fuck himself. And you're thinking about Marburg now, right? It's an excellent boss-fighting technique too. Marburg, for example, is stunned by the point-blank shot longer than it takes to execute. Meaning you can kill the son of a bitch without even giving him a chance to breathe. Reading their dossiers reveals that pretty much anyone who is anyone in the game follows this. Marburg, Sis, and Heck each have specific paragraphs outlining they're not above fighting dirty.

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4	comment	The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Certain bosses and other "major" enemies — the ones that run inhumanly fast like Brayko. Additionally, while Brayko is coked up, he will ignore almost all of your actions. Except the flashbang. Omen Deng can turn invisible and run away at high speed during your encounter with him. Technically, you can turn invisible too, but it never works on enemies who are alerted to your presence, so he's at least bending the rules. The "cheating" part comes in when he turns invisible — which he can do at will — which then immediately triggers his endurance regeneration (almost everyone else has to at least have to wait five seconds, and Mike maxes out at 7 seconds wait). In addition, he frequently engages you in melee combat, and you can have an ability that reduces your opponent's chance of blocking by 75%. That doesn't matter, though: if he decides he doesn't want to get hit by your punches and kicks, you will not hit him. (He can't dodge incendiary grenades though.) Even some of the standard enemies will go straight for you, even if you're cloaked, in cover, and have not been spotted in that level at all yet. In short, the bosses in the game are, almost without exception, brutally unfair. Take whatever edge you can find.

Kill one guy, and you might create one, two, or three orphans per kill. It is entirely possible to get through the game without killing anyone, but it requires significant investment in tranq rounds (at about $5000 a box), a lot of luck/save scumming with random ammo pickups, or near-exclusive reliance on stealth and hand-to-hand combat. Note that tranquilizing a boss will still result in them being covered in blood when you talk to them, though (note that shooting a boss with normal bullets does not count as a kill: you have to choose to kill them).

You can abuse this to punch a small group of people in the throat right in front of one another to take them all down. "Iron Will" increases the players damage resistance for a short time. It also gives him a blue glow and when he gets hit by bullets it sounds as though they hit solid metal. "IRON Will" indeed. One character threatens to shoot at the crates Mike is hiding behind. Said crates are completely bullet proof in gameplay. She may have been bluffing. During a Pacifist Run, players will be irritated to see cutscenes portraying Mike as killing people (such as the ending of Marburg's villa mission.) Many of the "non-lethal" takedown moves have animations that clearly show Mike snapping his victim's spine.

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_637ef67	comment	New Game Plus: If you beat the game with the recruit background you can play through again with the Veteran background. This starts you off with three levels in every skill (with no effect on your future AP), and with better armour and weapons. Also a bit of a Game-Breaker: after the initial mission, you have the option of customizing your character, and there's absolutely nothing preventing you from removing AP from the skills you won't use and bumping up the skills you do. You can max out three skills (to the level limits, anyway) before you leave Saudi Arabia. Also a Bragging Rights Reward since beating the game as a Recruit means you've proven that you don't need those extra skill points. Many of the "Veteran" stances indicate that this version of Thorton simply does not have time to deal with rookie crap; he demands a fast-forwarding of the orientation process and his very first line in the game upon waking up is "Where's my gear?" rather than a confused "I can't believe they drugged me!" In spite of this, Veteran isn't a true NG+, as you don't keep anything from your previous playthrough. You have the three points in everything that you can reallocate to an extent, but aside from that and the dialogue, that's all you get. Your perks, gear, money, and dossiers are all wiped clean.

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8	comment	Guide Dang It!: Trial and error is the only real way to learn how to get the responses you want to your actions. Of course, since the game rewards you for everything, it even has a perk and Achievement for waffling a bunch on what stance you take. How to fight Marburg to the death, as he usually avoids or escapes conflict. The simplest method is to befriend Madison, and then reveal her fate to Parker in an optional conversation. Less simple is finding most of Parker's complete dossier, which is inexplicably hidden in certain email conversations, and then passing it on to Marburg. Most complex of all is goading him into fighting in Rome, which is triggered by a complicated script, apparently involving every conversation you've had in the entire game. How to make it so you're not considered to have fired on the Marines at the embassy in Russia. Talk your way through the front door, and never open the door from the second floor to the roof until the very final part. There's a mission in Taipei where you have to intercept a messenger, but at the end the messenger tricks you into a taking-you-with-me situation where the both of you are about to get hit by a train. And to make it worse, this is in a section of the tracks where there's no alcove, so if you don't perform the right action the both of you will die. There's a couple ways to solve this: One, you can turn around and head back the way you came, finding a door, and then try to pick the lock before the train arrives (although this is insanely hard to pull off in time, because the train is still coming while you are picking the lock). Two, you can run towards the messenger, quickly knock him out, then hit the lever to switch the tracks so the train misses you. This method is much easier. When facing Darcy as a boss in the final mission in Alpha Protocol, he can be extremely hard to beat since he holes up in a guard tower, rarely exposes himself to damage, and keeps spamming grenades at you so you can't stay in cover for too long, but staying out of cover exposes you to Mooks shooting you. So how do you beat him? You need to hold onto at least one EMP Charge until this point, then have it selected as a gadget. Then, use it to disable the lock on the tower the boss isn't hiding in (picking the lock manually takes too long and you'll get shot while doing it). That tower has a sniper rifle in it, and the boss's grenades can't reach you there, so you can kill the boss in about five shots. Just make sure you don't get blown up before or while you climb the ladder, however, since it's only at the top of the tower that the boss can't reach, so it's recommended you enter the tower after Darcy's already thrown grenades somewhere else.

He is a man of his word as he says, and doesn't just vanish off to stroke his beard and be villainous. You have to actually agree to let him go, however, as he'll die in the attack if you arrest him. The ending reveals that he's alive and well, and continuing to carry out his attacks. Unless of course you spare him in Saudi, meet up with him just before the final mission, and turn down his offer of help. You'll politely thank him for the intel on Halbech he gave you, listen to his bodyguards run into a pack of landmines you set, and shoot him in the head for his part in the airline attack that kicked off the game.

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_7a19a69b	comment	Not Quite the Right Thing: After Marburg's Sadistic Choice in Rome, pretty much every character in the game treats letting Madison die to defuse the bombs as the more moral choice, but the epilogue reveals that it actually did more to further Halbech's goal of passing tougher anti-terrorism laws. Similarly, saving Sung from assassination leads to China and Taiwan moving closer to war.As to Rome, there is a subtle hint that the results of defusing the bombs isn't quite in line with Halbech's goals: they were aiming to institute tougher anti-terrorism laws in the EU. The ending for Madison dying talks about Senator Darcy using Madison's death to push for tougher anti-terrorism laws in the USA.However, the after-effects for saving Madison instead of defusing the bombs, and stopping the riots instead of saving Sung seem to partly, if not fully, reverse the impacts: if Madison is saved, she'll hold a candlelight vigil to honor those killed in the bomb attacks, and would campaign against the anti-terror laws imposed in the wake of the bombings by claiming they infringe on personal freedoms without actually providing safety. The aftermath of stopping the riots is more of a Bittersweet Ending, or even an outright Downer Ending, as Taiwan defuses the tensions with China by denouncing Sung's ultra-nationalist movement, and planning to just surrender its sovereignty to China instead of triggering a war.

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_8c039bf3	comment	Skippable Boss: Most bosses are plot-mandatory, but a few of them are skippable. The most clear-cut example of this type of boss is with SIE in the mission "Investigate Weapons Shipment". At the end of the mission, you and SIE will be holding a discussion and you can either keep conversing with her (in which case she will not attack) or you can choose to attack her, triggering a boss battle against her. Humorously, you will actually get a better reputation with her if you do. If you covertly sneak up to the bridge he is standing on and avoid detection, the game will trigger an auto-cutscene that shows Mike executing the Al-Samad Lieutenant (the first boss of the game). You do not need to face the Triad Defectors for Hong Shi if you choose to (alternatively) investigate the G22 warehouse in Taipei. You do not need to face Sis if you choose not to do the "Assault Lazo's Yacht" mission in Moscow. You do not need to face Championchik if you either bring Brayko with you to the "Prevent Surkov's Escape" mission or if you miss out on the mission altogether by killing Brayko before he tells you of Surkov's involvement. A third option to skip it involves just simply agreeing to let Surkov go, which will end the mission right then and there. The second phase of the boss fight against Conrad Marburg, but since it is easier classified as "skipped by default", it is more accurately an Optional Boss. If you relay the correct information to Marburg and have enough information, you can coax him into killing Parker.

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_92a1fa1b	comment	Damage-Sponge Boss: Played completely straight with the bosses in the game (which, as described in the above trope, is a bit of a weird thing for the story) by making them capable of surviving 20s of SMG shots, 5s of consecutive headshots with a pistol, you name it. A potential threat to the suspension of disbelief a realistic game like this depends on, it doesn't match well with the style of this game to have to fight enemies that just run up to you, ignoring the 2 assault rifle clips to the face you just gave them, and just beat the ever living crap out of you.

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_97ebe48b	comment	Pacifist Run: You can do it if you want to. Good luck. The game even has a unique metric for tracking your kills: Orphans Created. Kill one guy, and you might create one, two, or three orphans per kill. It is entirely possible to get through the game without killing anyone, but it requires significant investment in tranq rounds (at about $5000 a box), a lot of luck/save scumming with random ammo pickups, or near-exclusive reliance on stealth and hand-to-hand combat. Note that tranquilizing a boss will still result in them being covered in blood when you talk to them, though (note that shooting a boss with normal bullets does not count as a kill: you have to choose to kill them). The game also tracks non-lethal takedowns - in hospital costs! You get perks for having a lot of non-lethal takedowns that make this easier to do as the game goes on. Among other things, you get major boosts to your endurance and your sneaking skills. This is made easier by stealth and martial arts being massively overpowered in the mid- and late- game (especially once the perks start piling up), and hand-to-hand takedowns never count as kills. There are a few non-optional kills, two manned vehicles and one person on foot (the first two at least are not counted in your kill stats). That's not counting ones your character kills in cutscenes no matter how you dealt with them.

Or, even better, you can shoot opponents while they are down. Both are great ways to tell a person to fuck himself. And you're thinking about Marburg now, right? It's an excellent boss-fighting technique too. Marburg, for example, is stunned by the point-blank shot longer than it takes to execute. Meaning you can kill the son of a bitch without even giving him a chance to breathe.

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: There are several hints before The Reveal of how Chinese Secret Police officer Omen Deng is actually a Taiwanese double agent. Firstly, his dossier (even at 33%, the initial level) reveals that his nationality is Taiwanese; the second and third hints come in the form of the 2nd and 3rd (especially the 3rd) dossier pieces of him. The last hint is when you are fighting him in the memorial hall near a statue of the Republic of China's founder; he comments "Here, before the eyes of our nation's founder, you will die"; an astute player might realize that if Omen was really a Chinese agent, then this is something he should not be saying near the Chiang Kai-Shek memorial. Although, Chiang Kai-Shek was not the founder of the Republic of China, but rather their longest serving president. The scene would make more sense if the scene took place at the Sun Yat-Sen memorial - except that both mainland China and the Republic of China on Taiwan regard Sun as their founding father so it wouldn't work as a hint towards Deng's true beliefs. Overall it simply seems like Obsidian didn't understand Taiwanese history

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_a70223	comment	Karma Houdini: When it comes to named characters in the game, almost anyone can become this based on your decisions. Only named characters will be considered here. Also, since there are frankly too many of them, we won't list characters in the game who you have to or can choose the fate of (i.e. Nasri, Shaheed, Brayko and Scarlet) will not be listed here. There is no ending in the game in which Michael is arrested or killed; therefore, he becomes one if you play as a Sociopathic Hero (killing civilian authorities and recklessly executing the wrong or ambiguously-wrong people). There are only 2 named Non Player Characters who avert this trope regardless of player choices and will always be dead by the endgame: Jibril Al-Bara (will be killed by Marburg if you don't snipe him) and Darcy (the only named character you are unconditionally required to kill). Unless you make very specific gameplay choices up until the fight with him, Marburg is perhaps the easiest fate-determinant character to become this. To coax him into fighting you in Rome to the death (for otherwise he will simply flee the museum when running low on health), you need to have the Suave perk (which requires start-of-game decision-making), have a low enough reputation, and have enough dossier intel on Marburg (possibly including an email Mina sends you on Deus Vult). Unlike all the other bosses you can rematch him in the endgame, though you need to have enough dossier info on Parker to do so (you can either reveal to Parker that Marburg killed/almost killed his daughter Madison or that Parker was responsible for leaving Marburg to dry years ago). The unseen Arms Dealers in the game via the Clearinghouse can also qualify. However, the only (named and major) character in the game who must be one regardless of player choices is Hong Shi. He helps facilitate weapons for Al-Samaad and has you hunt down and kill dissenters within the Triad ranks who thought that helping a terrorist group who shot down an airliner full of innocent people was despicable even for a criminal organization. The worst you can do to him is blackmail him into giving up money and info to keep this info to yourself.

If Nasri is killed or arrested, the ambush fails because the Altair group was stuck using Cold War weapons, leaving the diplomats alive (although some of their guards were killed). If Nasri is let free, the convoy is completely massacred, and the peace talks in the Middle East are thrown into a tail-spin, with the Altair group poised to conquer the region as a full-fledged Middle Eastern Coalition.

In general, most bosses are not all that much hardier than their henchmen, and they're usually vulnerable to being geeked by a quick Chain Shot. However, smart bosses have armies of dangerous henchmen, locks and traps between you and them.

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_bfc659ba	comment	Standard FPS Guns: Ready and accounted for! The pistol is your standard pistol, though it is the only weapon compatible with a silencer and non-lethal ammunition, making it ideal for stealth playthroughs. It also has the Chain Shot ability, and if held on a target long enough, the bullet will go exactly where you want it to go with perfect accuracy and insane damage. The shotgun manages to avert Short-Range Shotgun, especially if you both upgrade your skill with shotguns and equip weapon mods that reduce scatter. It can also blow people off their feet if you aim it long enough to get a critical hit or use its special ability. Submachineguns fill in the bullet hose role, wielded in pairs and having the advantage of Bottomless Magazines when their special ability is activated. In addition, the guns do more damage per shot as they rack up more hits. Assault rifles serve as an excellent all-around weapon but specialize in being the marksman rifle, having very high accuracy and doing excellent damage on critical hits. If aimed for long enough, the rifle's burst will shoot directly at whatever you're targeting, normally leading to a Critical Hit. The special ability makes you automatically snap to the nearest target. You can't carry a Sniper Rifle on most missions, but a sniper rifle can be purchased and left in certain areas as a dead drop. A couple of missions start out with Mike packing a sniper rifle, including a dedicated Sniping Mission. Rocket launchers are available for a couple of specific boss battles (Shaheed's Stryker and the helicopter in the final mission) Gun turrets can be manned on certain missions, generally after killing their operators and taking over. Other automated turrets can be hacked. A tech specialist Mike can even hack turrets that are normally unhackable using Remote Hack.

Technically, you can turn invisible too, but it never works on enemies who are alerted to your presence, so he's at least bending the rules. The "cheating" part comes in when he turns invisible — which he can do at will — which then immediately triggers his endurance regeneration (almost everyone else has to at least have to wait five seconds, and Mike maxes out at 7 seconds wait). In addition, he frequently engages you in melee combat, and you can have an ability that reduces your opponent's chance of blocking by 75%. That doesn't matter, though: if he decides he doesn't want to get hit by your punches and kicks, you will not hit him. (He can't dodge incendiary grenades though.)

Some tweets from October and November of 2009 mention that he's heard Russian terrorists killed civilians in an airport, later noting that one of his superiors described it as "media bullshit." Name of the yacht that you need to infiltrate in Moscow hub is a hilarious shout out to Adventures of Captain Vrungel Many of other agencies mentioned in the game are, of course, shout outs to both real life and fictitious spy organizations. One of the terrorist organizations operating in Saudi Arabia is the Al-Tair organization. One of the perks/achievements is named "These Are Not The Agents You're Looking For". A very subtle one when Westridge is briefing you when you first arrive at the safehouse in the Middle East. Apparently the computer has an internet connection "that's so fast you'll feel like you're going back in time." The loading screen mentions both John Keats and Dan Simmons. "Uh, I think they just armed the bombs." "Bombs." Having Heck as your handler for the final mission will have him sometimes say "Danger, Mike Thorton, Danger!" in a robotic tone of voice. According to Westridge's dossier, he was involved in an affair with a woman codenamed "Saffron." The emails you get from tapping the NSA and CIA lookout posts in Rome have names appended to them that are references to spy characters from Tom Clancy books: Chet (Nomuri), (John) Clark, and Ding (Chavez).

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_caf89e54	comment	There's a mission in Taipei where you have to intercept a messenger, but at the end the messenger tricks you into a taking-you-with-me situation where the both of you are about to get hit by a train. And to make it worse, this is in a section of the tracks where there's no alcove, so if you don't perform the right action the both of you will die. There's a couple ways to solve this: One, you can turn around and head back the way you came, finding a door, and then try to pick the lock before the train arrives (although this is insanely hard to pull off in time, because the train is still coming while you are picking the lock). Two, you can run towards the messenger, quickly knock him out, then hit the lever to switch the tracks so the train misses you. This method is much easier.

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_d24ed873	type	Developer's Foresight
Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_d24ed873	comment	Developer's Foresight: And we mean everything. This game ran so rampant with this trope that even Yahtzee commented on it, stating his opinion that the game was "just showing off!" Characters will actually comment on your clothing style, armor, and weapons choices, and cutscenes will be completely different depending on sometimes minor choices or even what skills you have points in. For example, after recovering the assassination plans in Taipei, if Mike has a high technical aptitude, he'll be decrypting the files. Otherwise, Mina will do it. In some cases, the commentary will come several missions later; e.g. if you're wearing heavy armor while rescuing Surkov from the US Embassy, he'll comment on the armor when you meet him. If you're wearing civilian attire, on the other hand, he'll comment on it later in his office. Omen Deng will comment on your choice of armor in the subway station. For stealth armors, he compliments you on wearing camouflage, but says civilian clothing would have been smarter. For heavy armors, he says "You look like you're prepared for war." And for utility armor, he tells you "You look like you're prepared for anything." He compliments you on blending into the crowd if you choose civilian clothing, even though you're openly carrying two guns. Informants for a particular mission hub will be pleased if you came to them first rather than going to do some other business in their turf. Grigori will show off even more of how much he knows if you happen to have visited places other than Moscow first. "Taipei, out of Rome?" There was no reason the developers needed this level of attention to detail, but they did it! Getting past the door guards at the US Embassy in Moscow requires some careful persuasion....unless you chose Soldier or Veteran as your background, in which case you pull a Bavarian Fire Drill and walk right inside without any trouble at all. The game keeps track on what stances you use in the opening of the game and gives you a perk for sticking to one of the three stances. Characters will keep referencing your dominant stance, which may not be the one you used mainly during the opening. At the very end, Leland will mention it if you've undergone a shift in dominant stance during the game, describing it as Character Development and ask you if you feel comfortable with your new direction. For a short while during the mission to infiltrate Marburg's villa, Thorton is disarmed of all his equipment. You cannot use lethal stealth kills on enemies during this time - his knife's been taken away, too! Some are quite subtle. If you are relaxed and chatty with Grigori, he'll like the fact you're not violent nor businesslike. Later, when you first meet Surkov, he'll have no idea who you are - because Grigori didn't betray you to him. The endgame can go many different ways depending on how you dealt with different characters throughout.

It is possible to set one of these up against Alpha Protocol at the endgame by calling on G22 to attack their facility. Since G22 is the offshoot of G19, a former iteration of Alpha Protocol, that means that you're pitting a former version of AP against itself, built out of the very resources allocated to G19 up until it was dissolved. You can also do this to G22 in Moscow. If you agree to a partnership with Albatross, G22 will sell you all kinds of intel for the mission to get to Surkov at the embassy. If you choose to use SIE as your handler for the mission, however, G22 will storm the embassy and you will have to fight them off...using the intel (including a strategically placed sniper rifle) that they sold you beforehand.

Health, on the other hand, does not recharge on its own, so you'll need to find lots and lots of convenient first aid boxes.

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_f642b1f9	type	You Bastard!
Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_f642b1f9	comment	You Bastard!: This game keeps track of how many orphans you create due to the kills you rack up. It gets really sad when you realize that by killing only 15 people you managed to make 80 orphans. And in a case of developer cleverness, who you kill actually influences how many orphans are left. For example, killing Al-Samad terrorists generates a lot of orphans, because Saudis have large numbers of children. Killing VCI, G22, or Alpha Protocol soldiers nets you very few orphans, because those sorts don't generally have families or children. Killing Chinese Secret Police troops nets one orphan per kill, because Chinese are legally restricted to only having one child per couple. The game also keeps track of the medical bills for the mooks you take down non-lethally. You can inflict potentially millions of dollars in broken bones and battered bodies. The writers love doing this in the news reports if you decide to cut deals with Nasri and/or Shaheed. If you let Nasri go instead of busting him, the next news report you see will be about a massacre on a U.S. Army base, with the implication that Nasri supplied the weapons. If you decide not to kill Shaheed, Al-Samad will launch a series of bombings in the West Bank. If you let both Nasri and Shaheed go, the bombings will claim hundreds of lives. On the other hand if you kill Shaheed, and Al-Samad falls apart, a NEW terrorist organization, the Altair insurgent group, takes their place. And instead of attacking civilian targets, they ambush a convoy of diplomats. If Nasri is killed or arrested, the ambush fails because the Altair group was stuck using Cold War weapons, leaving the diplomats alive (although some of their guards were killed). If Nasri is let free, the convoy is completely massacred, and the peace talks in the Middle East are thrown into a tail-spin, with the Altair group poised to conquer the region as a full-fledged Middle Eastern Coalition. It's also implied that Senator Darcy arranged for the Altair group to butcher his political rivals, since he avoided the doomed convoy by having a "stomach virus".

Alpha Protocol (Video Game) / int_f6b30338	comment	Murder Is the Best Solution: When discussing your mission in Saudi Arabia, Westridge makes it clear that your job is to kill Shaheed. Sure, bring him in if he surrenders, but "capture or kill" really only means the latter in this case. He has ulterior motives. Shaheed knows too much and needs to be erased, along with Mike. On the other hand, if Shaheed is allowed to live, he really will be a danger after the mission's over; the best result from Mike's perspective is to let Shaheed live until he's outlived his usefulness.

During boss fights (i.e. the ones against Brayko, Sis and Omen) the boss, considering how they are damage sponges (see below), will be peppered like a loaded pepper container with bullets, explosions and whatever attacks you can come up with — but as soon as the game transitions to the cutscene following the boss where you are holding them at gunpoint and deciding whether or not to execute them, they have nothing more than a few non-lethal shots and punches in the head. Additionally, they can recover shockingly quickly if you ally with them and take their help later; for example, if you spare Brayko and learn the truth of Surkov, he will appear in that mission completely healed up and slice him up for you.

Unfortunately, conversations rarely crop up in the middle of combat, and you can't actually initiate them yourself either, so the opportunities to make use of this tactic are few at best.
