So can 9S actually die or get crippled or is there any reason not to just tell him to mess up enemies as soon as you're in a battle? Also it's a shame Accord doesn't show up.

I DEFINITELY did not see THAT end to the fight coming. What the hell, Yoko Taro?

My favorite enemy tracking thing was Alpha Protocol's 'no judgment but here's the cost of hospital bills you've caused and the number of orphans you've created,' because every ko and bit of damage were tracked, and every npc had a preset number of kids, with some types of enemy (Arab insurgents, say) having far more than others (black ops British mercenaries).

Alpha Protocol was a great game that mostly just lacked a bit of polish to take it to the top of everyone's best-game-of-all-time list. Shame it's been declared that it won't be turned into a franchise with any sort of sequels or otherwise be continued-upon.

One thing always bugged me about Alpha Protocol, though. The game largely let you spare everyone, even though it wasn't always easy, you could let even the most irredeemable dickheads in the game off the hook... except for this one guy who, by the game's standards, wasn't even that bad, mostly just kind of annoying, and no matter what, you have to kill him.

Hey, if the Gelato guy didn't want us to kill him then maybe he shouldn't have gone for the scoop.

I was thinking of Sean Darcy, who's just sort of a whiny dork, but not objectively evil like some of the other people you can choose to leave alive. :v:

Wow, I'm surprised NOTHING BAD AT ALL happened during that quest. Is Taro Yoko actually going to give SOMEONE a happy ending? Madness. I'm sure some cataclysm will come along and loving murder them all soon enough.
