Or they found Clippy a new home.

Oka... zzzzz. *target lazed*

That's no moon. It's a Beowulf Cluster.

They did Alpha Protocol, didn't they?

With regards to the spoiler. Incorrect. There's even an achievement based around it.

It can be a 40 hour playthrough, at least, depending on whether you go after every little side mission (and... organise your weapons / armour). 'Easy' depends on the difficulty you set and how you play your games usually. The story's pretty entertaining and the depth of the lore in the game could make it seem deep, I suppose.

Sounds sort of like the open quests from Warhammer online. Show up in area, help out, get loot bag. True, there's a ranking system which means if your efforts weren't good enough you won't get anything immediate, but you still earn points which raise your rank in the chapter and (eventually) enable you to pick up useful, class-specific equipment.
