Dovahkiin - Beat the game

Well, thanks, but which two? You quoted three. Missed one when deleting the tome I wrote? (Seriously I've played games with less achievements than I came up with)

Admittedly, "You never did learn to mind your surroundings" was a reference to my own history with traps in both TES and Fallout.

I never would have guessed my ideas would've received such a positive reaction. :happy:

"Dedicated Hero"
Bring an item from the opening of the game all the way to the end of the main quest without ever putting it in your inventory. (Got the idea from the 'Little Rocket Man' achievement from Half-Life 2 Episode 2, where you have to carry a gnome from the beginning of the game to near the end of the game and shove it into a rocket)

Indeed. I liked how Borderlands handled achievements though. Apart from the achievements that you get gamer score there are also a bunch of achievements that after unlocking them awards you with a bunch of xp. Add on to that, they were hilarious as all get out. Than again I like achievements in general as long as they don't pop up in odd times and get me killed (rare, but it happens).

The reason why some complain about achievements is that they are forgetting it's just a game and don't want to be reminded that it is (in fact) just a game.

Now, a list of Achievements:

King Of Worms- Become the master of the Necromancer's Guild.
Loyalist- Siding with the Loyalists, resolve the civil war in Skyrim.
Seperationist- Siding with the Seperationists, resolve the civil war in Skyrim.
Key Master- Collect (x) keys on one character.
Gate Keeper- Without breaking a single lock pick, pick the locks of (x) gates on one character.
Knows much, tells some- Find the way shrine of Mai'q the Liar.
St. Jiub- Kill (x) Cliff Racers.
St. George- Kill (x) Dragons.

Nirnivore - Find and eat every Nirnroot in Skyrim
Coffin Dodger - Successfully poke a Lich with the Fork of Horripilation
Fraud 'O Baggins - Steal something from every child in Skyrim
Console Jockey - End the game with 99 million gold pieces.
180 Degrees - Turn an undead Dragon
Piste Again - Get drunk and fall down a mountain

Nasty little creatures... - Kill 100 mudcrabs

Hero..have the adoring fan accompany you on the main quest and have him survive through the end

Top that

Loved these, in fact I liked it better than my own suggestions. I caught some Mass Effect, Batman Begins and Assassin's Creed in there.


While you have nothing on the actual Grumpy Gus I hung out with at PAX, yes. Because no achievements gains nothing. Having achievements does not adversely effect your game since they are optional, but removing them means the people who do like them lose out while all you gain is not getting the achievements you wouldn't have cared about in the first place. Nobody wins in any practical sense. This way, I get my bleep-bloop and you get your uninterrupted game.


Love it.


Well there goes my 100% completion of the game. It's like getting the Witch Gone Wild achievement in DA:O, I just can't stand Morrigan enough to do the crazy. Although here is my attempt at topping it.

Greybeard: Create a character who is very old and learn all Dragon shouts while keeping speechcraft below 10 for the entire game.

Criminal scum: Get caught in the act.

You're A Sneaky One- Go through (dungeon name here) without being detected or killing a single occupant of it, grab the (item name here) and leave. Oh, you can't use the rear exit either.

Home Brew- Make potions with the same effects as each as the alcoholic drinks in the game.

Ghost Town- Without getting caught by or attacking a single guard, kill all the civilian population of (town name here).

I Fought Mudcrabs More Fearsome Than You!- Survive an encounter with the King Crab.

Close Shut The Jaws Of Oblivion- Prevent the Mythic Dawn from attempting to revive their long dead leader and opening the jaws of Oblivion.

Undrefrykte Patricide- Kill the Underfrykte Patriarch.

Brawler- Get in a tavern brawl.

Drunken Fist- While under effects of an alcoholic beverage win a fight... bare handed.

Now Where Am I?!- Toss away your compass and your map. Good luck trying to find your way around now.

The unrelenting - reach level 75 without having completed the main questline and have all skills at 100.

Dragon Slayer- Kill x dragons
Mad axemen- Murder 10 people in 1 minute
Hunter- Collect 100 wolf pelts
Assasin- Murder 20 people with daggers
Trapper- kill 30 animals with traps
You should have paid the fine!- Go to jail

I hate achievements that are achieved through the normal course of the game. Like Create a Character; or complete this and this part of the main quest. Or the stupid HALO skull achievements that you had to look online to find them. Achievements should be gotta by doing something difficult, like defeating two dragons at once on hard or something.

Nice to see someone recognised the line. :laugh:

I was actually a little disappointed, though, that I couldn't slip in more Mass Effect references.

balls of dragonskin: verbly abuse aludin

"Underachiever" - just play the game without annoying and distracting "achievements".

My opinion may be a little biased because I am a trophy [censored]. I don't have any issue with having achievements that are achieved through the main quest. I think that they should be in every game. I do agree with you however, on the "Create a Character" achievements and other like it. I also agree that there should be other achievements for doing other things outside the main quest (obviously). But they don't all need to be difficult......

***POSSIBLE SPOILER***


In Dragon Age: O you get a trophy for creating a potion/ poison
In Dragon Age 2 you get a trophy for simply turning the map from Day to Night.

_____________________________________________________________________

I am okay with simple trophies like this, as it get's you to use other features in the game as well.

I missed the apple- get 10 head shots with a bow.

Exercise- climb the tallest mountain.

Drunken rage- win a bar fight while drunk

Have to remember that spot! Hit a mammoth in the nerts or crit kill it in one shot.


bling! if perks are available for wearing more enchanted items will get this if you get all the perks...



The hills are alive with the sound of screaming! Survive 10 dragon raids on villages or towns.



Tasty with catsup! Get eaten 10 times by dragons or have 100 villagers eaten by dragons.



Extra crispy. Survive 10 attacks by dragon fire or have 100 villagers die by dragon fire.



Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!! Survive 10 avalanches or falling at least 400 feet.



Horny when wet... attack at least 10 dragons while drunk.



When you gotta go you gotta go.. die by dragon attack while in a toilet outhouse or bathhouse or have x villagers die that way.

Master Hunter: Silently kill one of each animal in the game
(Not trolls, dragons etc)

Wild Wild Skyrim: Win 10 mage-duels in-town

I suggest they get rid of them. The reason Oblivion had no 'out of the box' achievments is because the TES series uses the actual game to generate gameplay hours not achievements to generate artificial gameplay hours like other games do. Even worse games like RDR are using this achievement trick in game where gameplay items are locked until achievements are met. Such a grease ball technique. I always respected Bethesda for not putting, "Kill 5 lions while standing on one leg and rubbing your stomach" type achievements in Oblivion, and I hope they take the same approach to Skyrim.

Threat to Society: Kill 50 guards.

Metropolitan Menace: Kill 5 guards within 30 seconds.

Impersonating an Officer: Wear guard armor to gain access to a restricted area (I hope this is in the game).

Career Criminal: Spend 30 days in jail.

Fast Hands. Faster Feet: Steal over 5000 septim's worth of items without getting caught.

Cowards Live Longer: Accept a duel challenge and run away.

Showboat: Have a dual challenge accepted and then run away.

Reckless Abandon: Be in combat with 20 NPCs at the same time.

I guess I don't care about achievements bc I will play this one on PC. I guess I don't care that much about achievements on the 360 though either.

ROFL, this one should subtract points^



TAKE THIS TROPHY: Unlocked the Umbra sword for your avatar. (complete game and all quests on hardcoe mode)

TEACHER'S PET: Unlocked the Dragon avatar item. (killed all dragons on hardcoe mode)

OUT OF THIS WORLD: Found the nuka-cola bottle.
