      Well obviously they'd have to like you for that.

        I went to Rome first, I'm in Taipei now, and I'm saving Moscow for last. I wanted to have my skill set up before I dealt with the Ruskies.

        Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

              I'm guessing by my ending achievements I went and loaded the wrong file,unless Sis counts. Also towards the end I switched handlers without actually wanting to so had to play through again anyway. Though if I loaded the wrong file that ending doesn't make sense.

                  So I'm about to play through the ending for a FOURTH time to see if I can get the one I was aiming for to begin with,well the one that I was aiming for that's actually available anyway. I really thought I had it last time. Bah looks like I don't have the option for that one.

                  Also that no romance achievement is a bit tricky. Doesn't work how you would think it works.

                      Leveled up Chain Shot aimed at the head saves a lot of trouble in later boss fights.

                        Finally done. This is a really good game, that could have been an all time great with a couple of different design decisions and a better programmer in charge of tuning the A.I.

                        Alpha Protocol is a flawed gem, that i'm sure most people will appreciate playing.
                        Found this quote on a site, and its sums it up pretty well.

                        I think the less than blockbuster sales may kill the sequel that had already been planned, but boy would I like to see another game. I think Obsidian would really learn from their mistakes and create a true masterpiece.

                          Just scored this puppy on eBay for $32.50!

                          Not that anyone cares.

                          Just saying.

                            Just got this off of Amazon for 15 bucks (PC Version). It's not bad. I went in and made some recommended tweaks to the .ini files for control, visuals, and movement...helped a bit.

                            The frick'n minigames for hacking and lockpicking kick my *** though. My eyes just aren't good enough for the hacking most times, and it seems you have ZERO give for setting the L trigger on lockpicking. It's been frustrating. Other than that, so far, so good.

                              Yeah, lockpicking is a cake walk with a mouse.

                                That's what I've read. Apparently there is a pretty good split between those who love the challenge and those who are "noobs" for hating it...lol. I think I'm going to switch away from pad controls for such situations and see how that goes. As for the hacking, I'll just have to suck it up...at least I can back out and retry before the timer goes off.

                                In my search for answers I came across a trainer that apparently freezes the timer for all these things, but I really don't want to go that route (as much as I suck, I do want some challenge).
