I cried a little inside then I laughed out loud.
I think all your points would be very cool!

This.

Oh I remember finishing the old Resident evils in under a certain time and "Congratulations, we're not going to give you a cyber pat on the back... we'll give you a [censored] rocket launhcer with infinite ammo!" they are REAL achievements

Unlocking the ability to have a perk every level would've been a suitable reward

GFWL was a complete joke. that caused some many headaches and issues for so many people that it makes the steam issues look infinitely small. between the horrible interface, initially having to buy points to buy DLC which didnt even match the denomination so you ended up buying extra points, game crashing issues. it was horrible and im glad that GFWL is dying a slow and miserable death because no one supports it. the only things ive noticed about steam are turning off the sync which is just a couple of mouseclicks and changing the default ini instead of the other one.

The achievement and any other reward other than another achievement would have been nice...

Well got my hardcoe playthrough out of the way...stupid water....!!!!!!!

I thought it would be soemthing like, "every new chaarcter you make has the option to have the wild wasteland perk for free" or something.

What did you expect? Honestly?

It's a high value achievement, but in the end who cares? It added more to the experience it was fun and I'm glad they included the option.

:confused: I never got the "We play Fallout for achievements!" memo...

I can see the reward being the achievement itself; what I don't see is what use any other reward would be? (I'm not sure on this, but isn't it granted for completing the game on HC?... and then the game ends?)

I've disabled them on my game (first thing).

I only expected that since they told me I'd get a "special reward" that it wasn't talking about the achievement itself. Heck I'd settle for a fancy hat to use on the next playthrough I don't really care other than they kind of build you up with that whole "are you man enough to get the big prize" kind of thing and then you find out the big prize is a t-shirt that says "Big Prize Winner!" on it. LOL!

I was expecting a decent surpirse, for example, next time you restart a new game, a same character (who just finished hardcoe) stands right out side of the doc michel clinic to become your companion...

something like that.

Oh pwn!! How awesome would it be if it was cumlative too? Eventually you'd have an army of clones to invade Vegas with
