Alpha Protocol Interview

MTV’s Multiplayer blog is featuring an interview with senior producer Ryan Rucinski about sex in Alpha Protocol. Apparently the game will have an achievement for being a ladies’ man, as well as for being a lonely bachelor.

(It all depends on how you treat them,) Rucinski said. If you have a strong relationship with female characters, they may help with missions. However, he told me that some of them are (bats t insane) and can get you into trouble. (One may ask you to assassinate a high-level person,) he added. (Maybe that’s not something you want to do, but she’s really hot. But there are obvious repercussions.)

Rucinski also hinted at the game having at least one date mission. (It’s the funniest [voice-over] we’ve ever recorded,) he said. The game has (tons of dialogue,) though he said much of the banter between Thorton his ladies was cut from the game. (A lot of the extra female dialogue took away from story,) he explained. Between 400 to 500 lines were cut, and some of the lines that didn’t make it involved the women detailing their day of shopping, for example.

(Chris Avellone doesn’t do goo goo’ stuff,) Rucinski said, referring to the chief creative officer at the development studio. (Sometimes he’d be like, ‘˜No guy would say that!’) That included a scene of Thornton crying. Rucinski said that people around the office were like, (That sucks, he’s crying, I don’t like this guy anymore.)
