One way again is the Clearinghouse which also offers ways to make a mission easier like bribing a bunch of guards to not show up for work that day.ĪpIn a lot of ways, Alpha Protocol is what games were made to be. The amount of available choices the player has greatly depends on how much Mike knows about the person he’s facing, increasing the need for him to gather intel before, during and after missions. As opposed to the BioWaregame, the player only has a limited time to make his/her choice. that do not spell out the whole sentence, but only the tone or topic of the answer. The conversation system is somewhat similar to Mass Effect 2, offering several different choices. Alpha Protocol doesn’t want to be traced back to Mike, so during the missions, the player not only fulfills his given objectives (may they be capturing or killing an enemy or finding intel), but is also on the lookout for money-bags lying around or ways to convince other people to give him some. The money needed for that, however, the player has to earn himself. The latter is a black market service where the player can sell stuff he found during missions and buy additional gear (including weapons, armor and special items) or upgrades like a bigger magazine for the pistol. There’s a TV which allows the player to keep up with current events (or get new assignments), a weapons locker to choose his load-out with and, more importantly, a computer to check his email and visit the “Clearinghouse”.
Here, the player is able to select and prepare his next mission in peace. After the first mission, the player advances the story by sending the protagonist to Rome, Moscow and Taipei, in any order.
