how i plan to play alpha protocol

[smitty1984]

Suave ninja! I probably won't kill everyone. But we'll see......... I always plan on playing a murderous type but end up pure sugar.

 

Oh and romance every chick I can get my suave ninja hands on.

I have a hard time playing evil as well i couldnt do it in kotor ill try and play evil in alpha protocol in my third or fourth playthrough.

 

It's probably because you think "yeah, I'll try evil this time" and then as you play most games, the "evil" choices are usually really psychotic stupid choices rather then evil so you end up not using them.......

i think if you play evil you usually end up with cooler stuff and more money.

[Thorton_AP]

I think pistols and assault rifles for weapons, with technical aptitude for my guy. Professional too! :D

[The Jackalope]

Every variation I can think of. lol. Gonna play this one a lot.

[jokerwoker]

I plan to play as throughly as possible, the same way one plays with a thousand dollar hooker: all night long. Because she is worth it.

 

Actually, *chuckles* the more expensive a hooker is, the less likely her clientele is interested in having sex with her. So, for a high-class hooker, if they want less work, jack up the price! :lol:lol I didn't believe this was true until I read about it.

Apparently, it's the whole Hetaera / Geisha / Firefly Companion style of thing at that level... It's about the whole soothing, relaxing, stress free companionship and conversation.... Not so much the sex..

Which is why so many of those "high class escort" types are usually incredibly smart, learned, and empathic.

 

But that's sufficient derailement I guess.

Ah, but notice the change in word usage? Big difference between hooker and escort, at least in my opinion.

Exactly! If they go as 'gray' as they can with choices then I'd rather a mix of 'evil' & 'good' and make my own bad ass. Old games like KOTOR 2 for example had some crazy bad guy choices that were somewhere around 'Kick the women with no legs' and then all of a sudden you're more dark side. Hopefully the fine line between good and evil will make it more emersive. I thought DA:O did a good job of that actually. (crosses fingers for AP)

Because damn it all, there are times I do want to play as a Magnificent Bastard in certain games, and frankly, AP looks like a game where it would be a perfect role...

Star Wars is a very manicheist setting though, I can't actually see a Star Wars game going grayer than Kotor II, thuogh I'm not a Star Wars fan (I mostly ignore the 'Expanded Universe' thing) so maybe I'm not the most qualified to comment.

This. I'm still waiting for a game where you can set up Xanatos Gambits or the like.

[Sannom]

@ WorstUsernameEver : not your concern, I know, the the Expanded Universe does have of the greatest example of Magnificient Bastard ever

[Oner]

Thrawn? I facepalm'd at many of his displayes of "intellect".

[Baeus]

Going to make myself a tank of a Thorton. All my points pumped into Shotguns, Toughness and Martial Arts. Just keep moving forward and blasting through everything in my path, always picking the aggressive options in dialogue.

[Tigranes]

In other words, Extreme Shepard?

[Baeus]

Except with less glowy face mutilation. Which nobody seems to notice.

[InvaderSnarf]

I plan on being this guy...

 

Total douche. Crude. Super tool. Somehow awesome at what he does. Seems to never die. Gets the girls he wants. Can't seem keep the secret of him being a secret agent. Luckiest SoB alive. Always wears a $900 dollar slightly darker then black turtle neck, because armor is for people that want to get shot. Is sad when he isn't buzzed from a drink. Loud and obnoxious. Even more bad ass then the three JB's. (James Bond, Jason Bourne, Jack Bauer)

 

No joke, that is how I want to play this game.

[flyingpancake]

iam planning on being some covert op guy with night googles, black stealt suit and an silenced assault rifle.

[Oner]

After the 1UP video and reading the Tech Expert fluff in the GT preview, I started to fancy the idea of a smartass-with-everyone, spies-get-all-the-ladies-and-I'm-a-spy, insufferable genius adrenaline junkie James Bond wannabe engineer of awesomeexpert technician.

With a shotgun and baseball cap of course.

So you want to be a tool with gadgets?

[Thorton_AP]

He does say straight up "Super Tool"

[Baeus]

What is that Super Tool picture from? I have to check it out now

Thank you!

[Alvin Nelson]

I think that everyone should be the "super tool" in our game at least once. It's pretty freaking funny.

 

Me, i like to play a bit of stealth, with my AR and Pistol, and put some points into Martial Arts so that i'm pretty rounded. Also, I always want to be Brayko's friend, no matter what play style I am going with.

[Thorton_AP]

I thought I was going for a kind of Jason Bourne build. Turns out I am going for an Alvin Nelson build!

 

Brayko is TBD though
