Just wondering what kind of achievements we will be getting with Skyrim, having only played Oblivion on a PS3 I have yet to enjoy an elder scroll release with Trophy support. (albeit I have played Fallout 3)

I'm guessing we will have the bog standard quest line trophies, but what about side quests? Collectables? (will Nirnroot's or something similar be making a return?) A 'locations discovered' achievement will likely be another shoe-in ... as well as hitting certain levels.

So.. what achievements would you like to see in Skyrim?

:trophy:

None.

:down:

______________________

I would like to see several trophies in Skyrim. I am a :trophy: [censored] and want all the trophies I can get. As for types..... A few possibilities are:

Bronze: Kill 150 trolls
Bronze: Kill 300 wildlife animals
Silver: Kill an enemy while your health is below 20%, 15 times.
Gold: Kill a dragon using only arrows

I'd like for achievements to actually be an "achievement" and not "something you'll probably do anyway at some point without striving for it."

Although I like achievements... well...

DA:Origins: "Congratulations! You have gone through the tutorial!"

Something more... challenging or interesting would be better, for me.

Agreed. I'd rather have "Complete theives guild questline without being detected" rather than "Kill 20 cave rats".

Agreed. Too many of them amount to some form of "Congratulations, you've played the game up to a certain point without quitting!" Monster kills- unless the number required is utterly insane, it's something you'd most likely do anyway. Quests completed, especially the main quest line- see "played the game..."

How about something like...Master Easter Egg Hunter: locate every single reference/easter egg in the game.

I agree. I had a few suggestions earlier (and a dose of cold hard logic for the fanatically anti-Achievement folks) but here are my preferences:

Spelunker: Visit every cave.
Endless Explorer: Discover every location in the vanilla game.
Wealthy: get a million gold.
Must be a perk: Complete a perk tree.
No ketchup: Killed every Dragon.
Chronic Hero Syndrome: Complete the maximum number of quests per play-through.

I actually like all of these. Good suggestions.

I have a little wisp of a Bosmer girl who inherited an enormous battle axe from an uncle she didn't even know. At first, she could barely lift it and had no idea what she was supposed to do with it - she was more interested in simply gliding through life, smiling and chatting and having fun. Then, through an extraordinary series of events, she got caught up in a battle for the very future of her land. She had no choice but to set aside her life of ease and go out into the world and fight and survive. After much practice and dedication, working her way up from the flimsiest and lightest of hand-axes, she reached the point at which she could finally wield that brutal battleaxe and she discovered what a powerful weapon it was and how crucial it was not only to her own survival, but to the survival of her land. She's now a ruthless and feared killing machine.... who happens to still be a cute little wisp of a Bosmer girl with a taste for smiling and chatting and having fun.

That's sufficient achievement for me. I don't need the game to tell me when it thinks I've achieved something.

I would like side quest trophies as in FO3 , I hope Skyrim doesn't have collectibles like either of FO3's or FNV's collectibles, I wouldn't be too annoyd if they did, aslong as they fit in like the bobbleheads, snowglobes and Nirnroot.

i would like to see some bonehead move trophies

parwned by a mudcrab trophy
slapped across the face by barmaid trophy
jail time for indecent exposure trophy
killing companion trophy
eating poison apple trophy
selling item by mistake then buying it right back trophy
not having anything that will kill a wil-o-wisp trophy
dying from sunlight damage when youre a vampire trophy

not that ive done any of those things mind you.

Hmmm, I'd go for the achievements for Oblivion, they were good, and involved beating every single guild quest, and the main quest, AND the Shivering Isles. I just hate thoose get 5000000 Apple's trophies...

Achievements? Meh.

What would be a better option instead of just achievements is having a trophy room. A lot of people like to collect, armor, weapons and so on. A place where all these trophy’s can be displayed.

I like Tengen's suggestions. Something that is doable by everyone but is still challenging/takes a while. I think every location achievements are very important, not that I ever needed a reason to go exploring in an ES game. Kill # of X foe would be nice too, challenging foes, not like rats or anything. I'm sure there will be 1 or 2 dragon achievements as it is. It would only make sense. Maybe getting every dragon's power, something of that nature. I for one wouldn't mind a 100pt achievement that has you exploring every area, finishing every quest possible (apart from ones you can only do this or that of), maybe getting 1 of every type of weapon or something like that. Something long and slightly grindy that gives me even more reason to want to play the game.

I actually like the negative achievements. Especially when there worth zero points so people don't get them on purpose. Be nice if more games did that.

I want a few really hard ones, like obtain at least one of every object in the game (Items, weapons, armor, etc...). completed every quest, see every unique kill animation. And let the rest just be fun ones, I just don't like getting acheivements for every quest/level you do, at the most those should only be about 5 of the achievements (counting difficulty achievements as well). As creative as Bethesda is you'd think they'd try a little harder on their achievements/trophies IMO.

I'd like the "no achievement" achievement personally

I play games for the fun of playing games not for bragging rights

Perzactly!

Why should I have to bust my but playing caravan for an achievement, or three, when I hate caravan?

I'd also like for the achievements and trophies to give you an actual in-game trophy with no gold value and no weight that we can place in our homes in-game

one or two that require a severe amount of difficulty. Like a mission that requires one chance to get right on a single playthrough.

People brag about achievements?
I sure don't.
I just like having a set goal for me to strive for, it's not about "Yeah look at this [censored]es I'm THAT good!!" but more about that when I finally accomplish something I feel proud of myself.
There were no achievements for getting up on roofs in Oblivion but I jumped around anyway trying to get up on them and felt proud of myself when I found a way. (I did not use any exploit spells to make me jump a mile into the air.)
So achievement hunting is fun for me, even if it's just pointless points, I just like the game giving me a challenge to accomplish.

To be honest, originally I was skeptical over the achievement system... Though Valve has shown me how to do it right. The point is NOT for bragging rights, or to denote who's beaten what questline. Oblivion had possibly one of the worst sets of achievements of any game: "Beat the main quest" and "beat the four faction questlines."

Achievements, as seen in Valve games like Team Fortress 2 and Portal, are meant to be FUNNY, and EASTER EGGS: they're things that most wouldn't get, and that the "bragging rights" people wouldn't even THINK of trying... But instead, that the people who are "incredibly bored" and try out silly things could stumble onto by accident. Try Portal's "terminal velocity:" "Fall 30,000 feet." Or Team Fortress 2's "Hypocritical Oath:" "Kill an enemy Spy that you have been healing." These aren't things that a hardcoe power-gamer are going to really find. The former requires messing around and being creative, and the latter will more or less happen only by accident.

Included properly, achievements would be a good source of easter eggs, something that TES games are known for having. We all know that achievements/trophies are a mandatory inclusion on 360 and PS3 games, so those versions of Skyrim WILL have them. If done creatively, they could work on the PC as well to add to the entertainment of the experience.
