Achievements for DAO on PC? Really? Just vanity? While I'd enjoy some interesting achievements for vanity and vanity's sake only, will these said achievements offer ingame rewards such as items? I'd hate to have something like that dragging me around from how I would want to play.

[Silentplanet]

It's just somthing to give people goals to aim for after completing the game once.

[Twitchmonkey]

I would prefer to have some statistical reason for completing these achievements, but if I really like a game, I'll complete the vanity achievements just to say I did everything.

[Death Breeze]

Apparently on one of the achievements website i read the PC version has more achievements than the consoles. Consoles have 50 whereas the PC version has about 150

I welcome the idea of the game tracking my achievements for me even with the PC version. I'm pretty aimless when left to my own devices, I never bother with self-imposed challenges like PC-only runthroughs or min-maxing my characters. By all means, direct me in how I should play.

That's correct.

[Serpent-eyes]

Seriously?

I like the idea of having achievements for the PC. Even if I don't share them with anyone, it gives me a sense of accomplishment, especially if it's something absurd like: "Killed X with a rusty fork".

[A_Str8]

I'm guessing they'll get shared on the social site

[Zlarm]

For a decent amount of people it gives the game a lot of re playability. Some people just "gotta catch em all."

[Varenus Luckmann]

I'm going to assume that unlocking the specializations all result in an achievment each. So yeah, some achievment will probably have in-game effects, just like in Mass Effect.



Yeah, I sorta hate it too, but what're you gonna do?

[Terwox_]

I see no problems with achievements. Achievements can be quite fun too. And if you don't like'em, then you can just ignore'em and focus on this you do like.

[Cascade Effect]

I personally don't find the allure of achievement hoarding, but hey, each to their own. But if getting a shiny message for killing a difficult boss standing on your head, naked, on fire armed only with an inflatable duck, be my guest.

[Ryllen Laerth Kriel]

If I really like a game I tend to fall into the rut of trying to unlock all the achievements...so I kind of hate achievements. Luckily I don't really like alot of games...but I think DA:O will be an exception.

How are achievements ever for anything except vanity?

[Napoleon1853]

I like having achievements in games. In my opinion, they are fun things to work at I suppose.

If one of these achievements can unlock items, it would increase replay value for me.

[hjarg]

Craig, Mass Effect actually had achievements that gave some boots to gameplay. Giving more exp, giving you better shields, ability to dish out more damage etc etc etc. Plus, ability to use some biotic powers on your soldier or make yourself a biotic with assault rifles.

Dragon Age might give something like that- perhaps. Hehh, fireball-throwing full plate warrior would be cool.

Many games utilize the information stored with the achievement as a way to allot or allow something to your profile so oops I lost/deleted my COD4 game save well what do you know everything but the checkpoints are there, I dont have to redo all the levels again. Or in Mass Effect so I can list a game that someone wont have a negative comment for someone that hates achievements, DLC, NPCs related to DLC, developers trying to earn a buck for "working" and trying to extend the games life for us.

Anyways, in ME you unlock achievement for using Lift 75 times or getting 150 kills with Assault rifle you can make a Sentinel and train with Assault Rifle now since you unlocked the achievement, or you can make a Soldier and train with Lift now, or completing the game on Hardcore achievement, COOL now I can play once again but on Insanity this time. etc etc etc.

And you get an achievement for Insanity playthrough as well, and for every difficulty achievement you get, you unlock an avatar, the Insanity achmnt. unlocks the N7 avatar, and anyone that knows of ME can see it on XBL and maybe ask how you got through it or what class you used, and lookey there you made a new friend.

And like I said dont like em dont try em ignore them.  I always find it amusing to heckle my big brother(29, I'm 25) who is all about COD4 and the new one but he cant finish a damn level on Veteran difficulty, so I always point to the completed game on Veteran difficulty achievement.

Yeah I can see Mass Effect, but that's really the only game I can think of.  Your example for CoD 4 was essentially a vanity example since you use the achievement as bragging rights.

Most of the games I've played with achievements just add meaningless points to my gamertag.

[Mordaedil]

Can I disable achievements? I don't even want to earn them.

?????

I guess the fact that me saying it stores information regarding levels you've completed so if you lose your save or whatever you dont have to replay the entire game to unlock levels. Yeah I didnt think so. Oh yeah just so you dont fly off the handle again, because obviously I was right in mentioning ME because it's BioWare so you like it, and COD probably not, unless it was on PC and while playing it you kept reminding yourself at how consoles are stupid and people who have them are dumb because if they were smart they'd hunch over their PC and play games instead of being a traitor to your cause of making everyone aware that PC is the best ever and PC went back in time and invented Commodore 64 and Atari, and every other leap in gaming history because PC's are capable of time travel to right the wrongs of Apple, Sony, Sega, Nintendo, MS division of XBOX etc.

Are you asking whether there is a Vanity Achievement in DAO?

[SilverApollo]

Achievements are rarely a bad thing to add to a game, though it is generally better if they are integrated with a service rather than just being solely within said game, for instance xbox's achievements, or Playstations Trophy's, or Steam Achievements.

[BluesMan1956]

I look at achievements as collectibles. I am totally agains impossible achievements, such as many in Guitar Hero III. I mean, who is going to play an entire game of GH III using a standard controller? What's the point?
