Alpha Protocol/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 21:

** Really, Leland? A yellow tie and yellow shirt with your business suit? Mike can even lampshade it (although not to his face, unfortunately).

** Brayko and his 'gay cheetah' shirt. In one dialog option, Mike says it wasn't difficult creeping around Brayko's mansion because that jacket of his was so loud it distracted the guards. He doesn't even mind.

* [[Fridge Brilliance]]:

** While Brayko's line referring to Thorton as the "(expletive) offspring of Ronald Reagan and the (expletive) American Ninja" is always funny, it makes more sense that he'd say something like that when you remember that he is after all, a fan of American 80's pop-culture.

** Scarlet Lake, intrepid photojournalist. Willing to run as many stories exposing major Halbech scandals as you can email to her. But given that you are personally acquainted with just how extreme Halbech's overkill can get when trying to hush up ''one'' scandal, how on Earth is she living long enough to publish ''all'' of them? {{spoiler|Well, it probably helps that journalist is only her day job, and her ''night'' job is "master assassin". Also in that Halbech needs her to live long enough to at least finish the Taipei assassination they hired her for}}.

** In Taipei, who's the one who sent you the faulty information {{spoiler|about who's trying to assassinate Sung? The Triads. But where are they getting THEIR information from? Steven Heck. Note that Leland knows about Steven Heck even though Heck is not listed as an agent on any payroll. It's entirely likely that Heck was hired by Halbech to sow misinformation during the Taipei mission to let the real assassin run free. There's even been a [[Shrug of God]] about this.}}

** Heck even ''says'' that {{spoiler|he thought Michael knew Scarlet was the assassin, and just wanted to boink her in spite of it. "I thought it was pretty classy of you." Hehe.}}

* [[Game Breaker]]: Upgraded flashbangs, especially against bosses. Its possible to take down Brayko in one long barrage of fire if you catch him with a flashbang before he snorts another round of his hyper-knife-killy cocaine. Also maxed out Chain Shot can bring down a boss' HP bar from max to almost zero.

** Chain Shot is practically an "I Win" button; the basic version will just take out a couple of guys, letting you make kills easily and without being seen or thinning the crowd in a tense firefight. At higher levels, where you get up to six shots and plenty of time to mark them, Chain Shot will ''clear the room'' more efficiently and accurately than a rifle or shotgun. Combine with Brilliance, which resets your cooldown timers, and it goes from "bring a boss' HP to almost zero" to "the boss is dead before he fires his first shot."
