Alpha Protocol Preview

The folks at Evil Avatar managed to get their mitts on Alpha Protocol at this year’s PAX East, and have since put together a set of impressions for the espionage RPG.

As the game progresses, more and more of the world will open up through a series of safe houses that act as hubs. Dependent upon how certain things play out, those safe houses can change and your missions will also change. According to the devs, even the order in which you partake on missions will effect the world and outcome. On each mission, which is selected through a menu interface, you’ll get to choose a handler. This handler will be your guide through the mission and each will offer a bit in terms of bonuses based on their skill and your relationship with them. For example, if you think stealth is the best option, you’ll want the handler that has that in mind and not some yahoo with a giant Bowie knife.
