Shrimp Flavored Chips Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I'll just come out and say it, while I have enjoyed Alpha Protocol a great deal, I just don't care for Michael Thorton. I like him less than most of the supporting cast with some notable exceptions. No matter what dialogue stance I choose he comes across as kind of a jackass. You could effectively rename the dialogue choices as Smart-Aleck, Douchebag, and Corporate Drone. Agree? Disagree? Discuss. *sniff* Sorry, bro.

Starwars Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I think much of it depended on the stance. I generally liked Professional Thorton, except in the beginning segments. Aggressive Thorton is fun but I wouldn't say that I particularly care for him. But Suave Thorton, oh yeah... That's the best way to play this game. Some of the game's best writing is found in Thorton's smartass comments there, hehe. In the end, I liked him a lot more than I thought I would.

Tel Aviv Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I agree. However you play him, Mike defaults to sarcastic prick mode. All the stances do is vary his degree of arsehole-...ishness. I'm surprised how much I disliked him really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertarian Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Love him. I'm a sarcastic prick, he's a sarcastic prick. It's perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan1077 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I played through one time with the lumberjack beard and just kept hoping his voice would go lower, but he always sounds like a 13 year old ponce why can't he just be nice for once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eingradd Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) I like Thorton, although it may be more correct to say I like Thorton's responses to various situations and how he words himself, seeing as I generally create a character of my own that I want to play as and then go through Alpha Protocol. Thorton just happens to fill in the blanks. Thorton's suave or aggressive stances always managed to suprise me, both in terms of humor and nonchalance.

TheChris92 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 He kinda comes off as a ponce, no matter what dialogue choice you make in conversation... but I like that! So yeah, I like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
