I don't understand why he can only use the sniper rifle at the place of the drop. Why can't he have one with him instead of the silly assault rifle? Scarlet carries one during the final mission.
I want SIE's machinegun as well. If some whimpy bitch can carry it so can Mike!

Apparently a dev at Obsidian thinks AP should have been canceled because, well, he says it's a shitty game.
He goes on about how the executive producer basically did what he wanted without bothering to take in any sort of comment or critique about it.
He also talks about adding new features while old ones were still buggy.
Too bad he doesn't go into any detail about it. I would really like to see which features suck so bad without me noticing at all O.o

Sorry, is there any way to preserve peace in Taiwan?
When confronted with keeping either the data on the riots or the assassination I chose the latter.
This led to me warning the Prez and him wearing a BP vest during his speech, thus surviving the attempt on his life.
But as expected, the instigators in the crowd still sparked a riot and the whole political situation seems very unstable now.
So is there any way to prevent the riots AND save the president?
By choosing to save the data on the riots I guess, the President wouldn't wear a vest and bite the dust during his speech, am I right?
This of course, would be the worst outcome.
So far, I've only completed Saudi and Taipeh, now I'm off to Rome.
I like to play slow and thoughtful and I think its been worth it.
Everyones rep is positive , I got +10 friendship with crazy mofo Heck, Mina and Scarlet.
Albatross (bluffed), Hong Shi Triads, Alpha Protocol staff all +4 liked. Many Allies during my last mission in Taipeh. 
Shaeed is providing me with info, I spared and befriended Omen Deng, both +3.
Even Leland already likes me. 
I wonder how it all turns out and who'll turn against me...

It's pretty safe, finished it today.
Just a little unpolished, esp keyboard+mouse controls.

Just use stutering fix from previous page and you are good to go.
Combat and animations are a bit funky but beside that its surprisingly polished and bug free.
Quite good for a game with so many branching storilines and company like Obsidian.

What happens when you complete the game? Can you do something else or you're pretty much left with the choice of a second playthrough on your hands?

If you finish on Recruit, i think you can do second playthrough on Veteran with the points you spent on the 1st run, besides that i think its gameover.

After applying the mouse fix and playing for a couple of hours I'm finally starting to enjoy the game, but then a bug messed up my savegames. The skill menu screen where I choose a skill when I want to use it, is now blank, the menu is there but my skills are gone, so now I can't use them!  So I guess I have to start over again...Fuck this!! Waiting for the inevitable patch.
ps. I can see all my skills on the character screen and also on the level up screen, but since I can't use them I see no reason to continue playing, and yes, I have completed several missions, hoping that my skills would return when the mission was completed, but no.

Boss question
 Spoiler: | How do I deal with the boyko dude? I'm martial arts + stealth character, I can kick his ass easily until he takes out the knife...then I can't stop his attacks and he just kicks my ass. |

Leg it! As soon as he brings out his knife, he chases you for a bit - slashing wildly - after a while he drops to his knees and freaks out. Use that time to pummel him with melee.

Thanks. Those bosses really do not belong to the game, really ruins the mood. This one in particular looks like a character from street fighter or tekken game.

Actually:
| Spoiler: | If you visit Taipei before Moscow, then Steven Heck sends Breyko over some bad coke, and as soon as he sniffs it, he's down.
At least that's as I understood it, since during my 3rd playthrough after I visited Taipei before Moscow, and during the fight with Breyko I gave him 5 shots to the head with chainshot, he snorted that coke and immediately died, and Thorton commented about "This must be the coke that Heck sent" or something like that. |

Bleh, your choices only have effect on reputation and coversations, you don't really get to change the plot, you still have to go through all the missions, you can't skip them, you can't get additional ones, and you can't really mess things up royal scale.
It's like, I dunno, plastic freedom.

I *did* to Taipei first, but I never saw that option for sending bad cocaine. Heh, see? There's tons of stuff to miss in this game

Well, the thing is
| Spoiler: | I also had Heck send that slasher bad drugs, but that guy still owned me multiple times before I figured out how to kill him |
I still dont get the point of that oldman mission during the Gray Box training? I'm on my second playthrough now. I just spent 45 minutes for training

Not true. I actually got the choice/quest to
| Spoiler: | kill Surkov |
on my 3rd playthrough. I never even knew he had something to do with all this. Same as
| Spoiler: | killing Mina. I always thought she was good, turns out she was a double agent from the beginning, but I never knew that until I passed the game the 3rd time using different options. You also don't have to learn about Madison being Parker's daughter. |

About Mina...
| Spoiler: | Wasn't she an agent working against AP..which would still make her good? considering that AP was eeeevil.
Also never knew Madison was Parker's daughter, how did you find that out? I didn't save her, so I guess I didn't have a lot of opportunities to get some info on her. |

With regards to that...
| Spoiler: |
Mina was inserted inside Alpha Protocol as a mole - she was still on the NSA's payroll. She used Thorton as a lackey to gather evidence on the Alpha Protocol program, just like Alpha Protocol used Thorton for their dirty work.
If you research Madison's dossier fully, in one of the conversation choices back at your safe house she tells you that she split from her family, and used her mother's maiden name (St. James) to avoid any affiliation with her father. This can later be used to sway Parker, with surprisingly interesting results. But I won't spoil it!

Previously today, I bitched about a serious bug that affects the Skill selection Menu, I have tried to load all my savegames but the bug is still there (even after a windows reboot) so it must have messed up my savegames.
So I took a screenshot to show what I'm talking about.
Link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/sbso5k
Am I the only one with this "game destroying" bug?
Ps. Yes, i have bought several skills that have to be activated from this menu, so they should be there, and they still show up on my Stat screen.

This might be stretching, but is it possible that all those skills are weapon related?
Since those skills aren't shown if proper weapon isn't equipped.

Not all of them are weapon related, for example, I have the Silent running (basic), Chainshot (basic), Awareness (basic) and Overclock (basic), and all of them has to be activated, so they should show up in this menu.
and yes, I have checked if chainshot will show if I have the pistol equipped, but it doesn't

Have you used the "stuttering fix" posted a few pages back ? If so that might be the problem, i used it for a while and had all sort of crazy shit happening when reloading the game, like guards magically dead, bosses that are invisible etc, removed those changes and no problems, besides the stuttering ofc
