Has anyone spotted the achievement list yet? Surely, it must be up on PSN by now?

Can't speak for PSN, but here's what I've seen for xbox. (might have to scroll down to the bottom - for those of you who wish to remain spoiler-free - don't click the link)

As far as I know, both systems have the same achievements/trophies - so far, so I'd imagine they would still be the same.

Good find, thanks. They didn't seem that spoilery to me though, knew that all those things would be in the DLC already. The secret achievement interests me though... :P

Thanks Ares! I looked yesterday and it wasn't here so it must have been added very recently.
Doesn't look too inspiring though, seems like you only need to play the DLC to get these badges, no extra effort required. 
This is really something BioWare needs to improve. Achievements should require extra effort.

True. But they shouldn't be insanely frustrating either, like the collection achievements in the Fable series by Lionhead.

I felt a real sense of achievement gathering the many badges in Origins, you really had to put your mind to it.
With DA2 sadly, it is not the case apart from a handful.
We need more achievements!

I'm only worried about the stealth achievement, since this game doesn't lend itself to stealth very well.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding it though.

Agreed; stealth was all but totally ruined in DA2. I thought it worked really well in DA:O, so why did they "fix" it if it wasn't even broken? Enough about that...

I'm not buying Mark of the Assassin until they fix the original game and Legacy, the latter of which I have also not played because of all the incidents and reports of it just not working properly.

I believe Day stated in an interview that Redemption was chronologically first. I might be misremembering, though.

The stealth in DAII: MotA isn't about actually activating an ability. You're creeping around the area silently with the ability to knock out guards, like a ninja cat Image IPB.

Still, I do wish I could activate Stealth outside of battle and not have it turn itself off after 10 seconds. But the stealth in DAII and the Stealth ability are two different types of stealth. One deals with blending in shadows during battle to strike from those very shadows, while the other is about taking out guards before they become a hassle.

Really, I guess I could say that's an improvement on the concept of Stealth rather than have me say they ruined it

Well I sure hope there's more to the stealth than just tip toing and knocking out gurads, as we've seen so far.

me too. I'm hoping that the guards are turned away for an actual reason rather than just for convenience's sake. Like have a guard say he hates his noble boss and have him ****** all over the noble's stuff! That'd be funny.

Or have Hawke hug the walls and peer around corners.

Stealth is more than just tip-toeing silently. That's definitely an element of stealth, but it's not stealth on its own.

OK thanks, bye-bye then! Don't let the door hit you on your way out!

  It's works just fine for me...  I'm not quite sure what you mean by "fix" the original game.

Going by that crafting achievement, is it possible they revamped the crafting mechanic? To something that actually resembles a crafting mechanic?

There is no crafting achievement.

'The 'return' of stealth gameplay sounds good. Do you mean from Neverwinter Nights? Design note: requires a detailed explorable world where there is a reason to be sneaking about. (Hint thieves guild, hint explorable homes, hint more theft quests). Hopefully DA3 will be a simple and relatively painless conclusion to the DA triple dose. We can put the ambitious and the visionary in the next Fantasy RPG franchise. The time to fully integrate stealth into the game design was 5 years ago. Still will be interesting to see how the skill sets play out. Looking forward to it. can't wait.

Did I miss something? I thought MotA's release date was Oct 11, and yet there are people claiming that they've downloaded/played it. Are they yanking my chain or what?

No one's played it. People are just commenting on the DLC's achievements, which have been made visible before release. Seems to happen with all DLCs...
