Why does everyone here have an Alpha Protocol avatar with a picture of themselve (or random people from Google Images?)?

It's pretty cool, but why?

A lot of them were in imitation of the (semi?)-official avatars released shortly before the game itself, or are those avatars themselves. There was a bit of a thing for having a variation of your own for a while. Some people have kept them, presumably because they either like the avatar, or Alpha Protocol, or both.

 

Not everyone has an Alpha Protocol avatar, though, nor is it mandatory . Mine, for example, is more of a Faction Paradox avatar.

Was pretty curious about it myself. Looks like I missed the boat.

 

 

 

But not for long!

There are no official avatars here?

[Purkake]

No, the world is your oyster.

Someone (sorry, can't remember who) attached a psd template for adding the Alpha Protocol tag to avatar images on one of their posts. It did rely on either having Photoshop and some rudimentary skills in it or the goodwill of whoever was doing them to implement.
