Specifically, they spoke about the relationship Mike can develop with any of the 4 girls in the game. Mike can romantically pursue all the girls if he so chooses, although it may cause trouble down the line as the girls bicker over him out of jealousy. There is also a sex scene, which Avellone jokingly describes as "tasteful in a different kind of way that might be distasteful". Further, the game will be dishing out trophies/achievements for wooing all 4 girls, as well as one for not pursuing any of them.

Destructoid writes: "The deluge of Sega assets continues, this time with screens from Obsidian Entertainment's -- the folks who brought us Knights of the Old Republic 2 and Neverwinter Nights 2 -- new modern day role playing game Alpha Protocol.

The game follows special agent Michael Thorton who is the only person that can prevent a catastrophic international crisis. Players will be able to choose how Michael completes his missions: by the book, going rogue and slaughtering everyone that gets in your way, or being a smart mouthed jackass to everyone you meet, which will determine how things ultimately turn out.

Alpha Protocol will be skill -- rather than level -- based, letting you choose between close combat techniques, marksmanship, and gadget proficiency for Michael to focus in. The game's title refers to some sort of weapon that the forces of evil are trying to utilize for their own nefarious ends. There's no word on what that weapon actually does, though.

Planned for release next February, Alpha Protocol will have a PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 version."

The April issue of Game Informer reveals that Obsidian Entertainment (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, Neverwinter Nights II) is not only working on the Aliens RPG for SEGA, but also another third-person action-RPG. 'Alpha Protocal' is scheduled for spring 2009 and is a modern-day espionage that takes you on a suspenseful ride in the vein of James Bond, Jack Bauer, and Jason Bourne.

"Alpha Protocol" is a phrase that is used when operatives go underground to work off the grid. It is very dangerous and usually reserved for experienced and senior agents. You play as Michael Thorton, a fully trained but rookie operative whose world is turned upside down when a mission goes badly wrong and is forced to work off the grid.

Alpha Protocol will use battle and dialog systems that are similar to Mass Effect's. The combat will emphasize on real-time gun fight and high-tech gadgetry. The dialog lets the player dictate Thorton's tone in conversations, such as cool, suave, brash and impatient.

The game will also use a skill-based system that's similar to Fallout. (Obsidian is made up of former founders and employees of Black Isle that originally created the Fallout series.) The player will have 10 major skills and 10 ranks for each skill, including enhancements to shooting accuracy and improvements in the way the character can evaluate situations.

It's a large game too, with missions taking place in countries all over the world. The game involves plenty of subplots involving beautiful and dangerous women -- think Bond girls.
