Maybe. I do like achievements. I wanted to get all of them for New Vegas but I just couldn't make myself do a Legion play through. I don't remember there being achievements for FO3?

Personally, I don't really care, because I'd never try to do it.

I find it depends on the particular game style, and how they pick the achievements. The silly, basically-automatic "Okay, you've advanced the story to Chapter 4" ones are... silly. In MMOs & free-range/endless-grind games, achievements can be interesting additional mini-quests to work towards. Not something you have to do, not something you get automatically, but little extra goals you can try to manage as a personal challenge.

(That said, I really don't understand the folks who pursue "gamerscore" or whatever the Playstation/Xbox terms for it are - the people who're so obsessed with getting all the "points" that they'll even play games in genres they don't like, because there's trophies to earn.)

I haven't gotten 100% in a game in years. Probably nearly a decade. I don't like achievements that are handed out like free samples. "Whoa! You've started up the game dude! Here's an achievement!"

Meh, it's another way to enjoy gaming. Some people like to challenge themselves. Add in some validation for the completion of these challenges in the form of achievements and it makes for an addicting outcome. For these people, I don't think the concept of preferred genres exists.

The achievement disabler is usually my first mod; unless the camera is so bad (Like in New Vegas), that that warrants the first one.

I would have been impressed if someone at Bethesda had slipped in a 'cow clicker' achievement to FO3; one that pops up a message exclaiming, "You clicked a cow!", and then notified all their Steam friends of it.

I don't know that I've ever done 100% of a game..maybe one of the early GTA games? For Fallout I mostly just like to take my time and explore and do the quests at my own pace. The problem I've run into with New Vegas and 3 is that the more you do the more likely your game is to crash. I actually couldn't finish exploring New Vegas because by the time I'd done the main story up to the dam and went through all the DLC the game would crash every 15 to 20 minutes on my ps3 so after finishing lonesome road I just limped and saved my way to the dam and finished the run even though I hadn't found all the star caps yet and still had a few map locations to discover. The same thing is happening with my current run of 3 but at least it's giving me nearly an hour of game play before crashing. It usually starts when the save file hits 14MB or larger. Hopefully this doesn't happen for the ps4 since it has a better memory system.
