The main character of the title Alpha Protocol will be a spy ala 007 Michael Thorton. The official press release says the following: "It will be an action RPG with an emphasis on the use of all available modern technologies. You will feel like James Bond, Jack Bauer and Jason Bourne in one. Take on the role of an agent-greengrocer and train him to be an elite killer." Even though Obsidian has enough of its own experience from both KotOR and Neverwinter Nights, the game will be inspired mainly by a piece of BioWare's competition - Mass Effect, both in the combat and in the dialogue part. In addition, we will be able to fall in love and lose our femme fatale. It sounds very good so far, there is still a shortage of similar games on the market and the Obsidian studio has enough credit to bring the project to a successful conclusion.
