Sex with 'repercussions' in Alpha Protocol photo

The tactical-espionage RPG by Obsidian will feature a little beyond just simple intrigue. According to senior producer Ryan Rucinski in a MTVMultiplayer interview, Alpha Protocol will feature sex. In fact, there will be a lot of sex. Rucinski confirmed “a lot of love interests,” and the ability to bed all of them over the course of the game if you’re suave enough. In fact, you’ll have to be both suave and cautious with the ladies you desire.

It all depends on how you treat them. If you have a strong relationship with female characters, they may help with missions...One may ask you to assassinate a high-level person. Maybe that’s not something you want to do, but she’s really hot. But there are obvious repercussions.
The scenes will be reminiscent of Mass Effect’s treatment of the matter, which translates to a lot of side-boob action. There are also going to be Achievements available if your prowess is especially awesome or terrible enough to warrant such a thing. I wonder if you can get an Achievement just for only going after the especially crazy chicks?

I suspect a Summa achievement for getting -100% popularity with the ladies.

So basically, Obsidian wants lots of free advertisement of their game via the impending controversy...Oh, Ok.

You're acting as if Bioware didn't do exactly the same thing. Historically, Obsidian's been rather resistant to including unnecessary love interests. Both NWN2 and Mask of the Betrayer featured just one, and GameFAQs tweens raged when one of them happened to be bald. KotOR 2 had 2, but both were rather low-key in execution.

Sex and romance subplots sell, and if there's any game setting that would be appropriate for having lots of them, it's a superspy game.

It's hard to whack off and play games at the same time. Also, sex games don't cause controversy, yet regular games with a small dose of sex causes controversy? Somebody show a japanese sex game to a senator and watch the chaos ensue.

I'm not acting like anything. I know Bioware did the same thing but this piece was about Obsidian and Alpha Protocol and there's no denying they want a bit of free press because of it.

Why all the nay-saying? You'll take your side-boob and like it, young man, or no dessert for you.

So this is essentially a James Bond rpg?
I've been saying this needs to be done for years.

Just Watch what happens when the game comes out. Just WATCH.

@ChronoLogic:Well, now I know what to do if I ever go in front of the Senate about a Gaming Law or something.

Side boob action? haha.

Sex is a beautiful thing. It loses its meaning after like... the 10th girl... sad.
