Gold Trophy/Epic 100 points achievementr: "Not Using Search Button": started a millionth thread about achievements in the skyrim general discussion thread.

It's been a while: Talk to M'aiq the liar.

Toasty! : Burn ten people simultaneously with Fire breathing Dragon Shout.

I couldn't help myself

But I would love some funny archievements, Really I play world of warcraft, and actually the funniest archievements I like the best ... But actually I do find archievements in single player games nonsens ...

Beast Mode: Contract Sanies Lupinus.

A must-have! :hubbahubba:
Edit: Feast of crows- butcher an entire city!

Dragonboxer- Kill a Dragon using fists.
Skydiver- Jump from the top of the Throat of the World
Ultimate Heist- Steal 500 loaves of bread

True Power:Find a current employee, and eat them to gain their power.

Time well spent:Climb the 7,000 steps...then fall off

Move Over Rocky: Climb the 7,000 steps of the Throat of the World.
Unlimited Power!: Deal 10,000 lightning based damage over the course of the game.
Too sixy For My Shirt...and Pants: Defeat a Dragon unarmored.

So that would be what specifically? I'd love to see an achivement called this, but would that be like 'conquer a city?"

Anyways, I still have the same list of what I want to be achievements as always:

Spelunker: Visit every cave
Dragonslayer: Kill 50 Dragons
Power-Mad: Reach level 100
Adventurer: Find every location
The weapon-master achivements: Fill out a perk tree for a particular type of weapon. One each for maces, swords, etc.
Sorceror: Get three magic skills to 100.
Living Shadow: Get three stealth skills to 100
Juggernaut: Get three combat skills to 100.

Stuff along those lines, things that aren't guaranteed to happen just by doing the main quest. Make us work for our gamerscore.

And I never did understand achievement haters. A system that removes nothing from the game in general but, when done right, encourages people to do things they wouldn't normally have done, and aren't necessary to even look at if you don't like them.

EDIT: Actually, that's not true. I'm pretty sure I know exactly why people bash achievements. I'm also pretty sure it's filed under "stuff we don't talk about." But I'm gonna request that if all you have to say is "achivements svck I hope they remove them" then you may as well just not post. Whining about it here isn't suddenly gonna make Microsoft remove a major feature of their console and it doesn't really even add to the discussion at hand.

Who needs Acrobatics?- Jump from the top of the Throat of the World and survive the fall.

Too awesome to not complement.

Normally, I don't borrow stuff and I hate children in games, but since we have to have it...

Maybe you'll be as awesome as me someday...: After completing the main quest, give a child an autograph.

Hmmm, you could have:

- Dovahkin! - Complete The Main Quest
- Petes Dragon - Slay A Dragon Only Using Your Fists
- John Smith - Smith Your First Item (OR) Use Alchemy To Create Alcoholic Effects
- Don't Shout At Me - Use Your Dragon Shout's 25 Times
- Grizzly Adams - Slay 11 Mammoths (Or Bears if Bethesda put them in)

Drama Starter- Punch a Nord in a Bar

"Your true destiny" --- Buy a high-end PC and play Skyrim with hundreds of mods :hubbahubba:

You Took The STAIRS: probly one to climb all the stairs to that huge ass temple :S

Smooth Criminal - Complete all of the Theives Guild quests without ever drawing attention to yourself.

We LIED! : Mount a Dragon!

:hubbahubba:

How about instead of raining flaming dogs, it rains cheese?
Mine:
Dinner Table: Collect 6 forks, 6 cups and 6 plates.
May Talos Guide You: Find A Shrine Of Talos.
Empire Conqueror: Shoot a spell at the border of Skyrim/Cyrodiil
I Believe I can Fly: Jump off the Throat Of The World.

EDIT: I just wrote this for silly-ness. I don't care about achievments..Unless there are BENEFITS!

berserker - kill a dragon and a band of bandits within 2 minutes and without healing

moonwalk - kill 10 enemies with bow and arrow while back peddling

everyone loves a slinky - shove some one down the 7000 steps at the throat of the world

minecraft - mine, cut wood, craft a weapon

I was just kidding, Conan's lovechild was a reference to Arnold Schwarzenegger's latest scandal about having a child with his maid, and "Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the women" is a quote from the original Conan movie, which of course featured Arnold as the main protagonist.

I can't express how I despise achievements - I just... do. Their only reason for existing is to allow a couple of power-gaming jerkasses with way too much free time on their hands to feel beter about themselves because they've 'achieved' more than those who play just for fun - I've seen more than my share of those in the MMOs I've played and felt nothing but disgust and irritation every single time.
But that's merely annoying, the worst 'achievements' are the ones that actually reward for doing silly things like "killing 500 dragons" or "maxing out all skills" with points and in-game benefits that unfairly favour power-gamers over normal players. If "Throwing a Greaybeard off the High Somethinggar" gives someone 1000 points to get the Horse Armour DLC for half-free while I'd have to pay the full price because that's something none of my characters would ever do, then... ugh!

Thankfully, I don't even suspect Bethesda of wanting to do something like this - they'd rather have everyone pay the full price ;>

But if I were to put some 'achievements' in the game, that's what they'd be:

- "Mourn the Lost Crossbow of M'aiq the Liar"
- "Fix At Least 50% of the Developers' Inevitable Mistakes With Mods"
- "Stop Whining About the Lack of Attributes"
- "Stop Whining About the Lack of Classes"
- "Find a Separate Pauldron"
- "Contribute to Tamriel's Advancement of Technology"
- "Resist Playing the Game For One Entire Day and Reunite With Your Long-Forgotten Family" (Now, THIS is something that actually deserves to be called Achievement)

Do The Molyneux: Lie your way to false friendship with an NPC

face smacker! slap over 1000 people in the face and get away with it!.
