This new development diary for Obsidian's espionage-based RPG Alpha Protocol explains the "Dialogue Stance System," or DSS. The system allows players to quickly choose their attitude in a dialogue situation, rather than a lengthy line of words.

Alpha Protocol arrives on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in October.

Is it just me or does the speech animation all look very ... stiff in this game? I think in this day and age, games should be able to approximate lip and facial movement better than this. Mass Effect did it wonderfully. This game just kind of reminds me of the original Half-Life in that respect. ;)

Game: The "system" not actually telling you the lines before the character says it is nice I guess. As long as they do a good job labeling the emotions. Marketing acronym isnt needed though.

Trailer: All the post processing was nice - as long as the game is just as polished.

Devs: That chick looked really bored reciting the PR lines but she was kinda cute so its okay.
