I'm avoiding obvious ones like "reach level x" and "complete the game".



Humiliation

Defeat Krimm by having Riley land the finishing blow.



Unbeatable

Defeat Master Yeldin with Chalassa participating.



Don't spend it all in one place

Don't allow the Master of the Pits to take more than 10 gold from you.



Pacifist

Solve the following quests without resorting to violence: Secret Formula, Bandits stealing pelts (if possible? I always fight them ), Animal Problem, plus any future ones where the option exists. Should include paying for Jariel's memory crystal too, and Ardin's tab I guess.



Like I would pass on the experience

Same as Pacifist except you solve them with your fists.



For the next three (or eventually four): You are awarded the achievement the first time you meet the criteria.



Those arrows could hit someone in the knee: Ninim

Clear all Ninim areas of animal encounters.



Those arrows could hit someone in the knee: Dingirra

Clear all Dingirra areas of mercenary encounters.



Those arrows could hit someone in the knee: Shacklesplit

Clear all Shacklesplit areas of ancient laserdragon encounters.

Humiliation

Defeat Krimm by having Riley land the finishing blow.

Gottahaveit!

Pacifist

Solve the following quests without resorting to violence: Secret Formula, Bandits stealing pelts (if possible? I always fight them )

Unless this was changed since Act1 beta, you always fail the quest if you negotiate with the bandits and take their money.



I'll suggest

I'll hit on you, anyway

Max out the relationship counter for characters with nomance option.

Eg Chalassa/Jariel for Shea, Riley/Krimm for Althea, maybe Rowinda for either.... All need to be maxed out before the achievement will be given.



(EDIT: could also be called Romanceable?)

high-flyer: lvl 7 at the end of act 1 (also 17 (?) at the end of act 2)

We risked our lives for THAT?!

Make Rowinda eat all her candy sticks in one battle.



Would be funny if this could trigger a bonus dialogue from her about an aching stomach or so.



Even Krimm enjoyed that story

Complete Riley's flashback after failing at least two stunts.



No prices on their heads

Complete Chalassa's flashback without assassinating any guards.



Haste makes waste

Complete Chalassa's flashback by having the Band of Bloodspeed deal the finishing blow to Ormond.



The Old Horde

Complete Krimm's flashback without ending a battle with fallen party members.



Not the most inspired one, admittedly.



Sober and disorderly

Start five tavern brawls.



I count two so far, or three if you side with a certain family. The final number depends on how many will be possible of course.



Riley Cyrus

Convince Riley to sing along to one of Jariel's songs.



This one doesn't really have an opportunity already, but the name begs that you create one!



Now get behind me

Win ten Ninim battles with only Vaelis taking damage.



The name is also what he says when you resurrect him.



The battle of the ears

Win five battles in act two or later without using elven characters, and five without using human characters.



Chalassa counts as human.

Are achievements really a good idea at all? I mean, either the game is interesting or not; either the game does not need achievements, or they should rescue what cannot be rescued any more. (I believe SOTW is a good game, but I doubt adding achievements adds anything except workload for jack.)



Just my opinion.

I believe they help the game sell on Steam. I don't particularly care if there are achievements or not, but they were used in LtAP so I'm guessing Jack wants them

Well yes for Steam users seems a big deal I'll also add only simple achievements, I don't want to spend too much extra time on this. For example "Defeat Krimm by having Riley land the finishing blow" as much as it's a great idea probably won't do it since needs more time.

But really for example adding all Loren's achievements took me 1-2 days, including testing, so is not a problem. I'll add them as last thing of course once the game is finished

How about making Riley solo Krimm? What's easy to do and what's not? Or are you just gonna do the bread and butter stuff like unlock this trait and complete this act?

No will do a mix of simple ones and a few difficult. The "who killed who" condition is actually easier to do than I thought, so I can even do that

Yeah but I wanna know what is easy for you to do (it's about difficulty to program, not difficulty to achieve) and what isn't, so I don't waste time coming up with achievements you won't implement anyway

In general everything related to menu choices, map, etc is good. Outside combat. Inside combat, depends. Stuff like "killing char A with char B" is OK, but stuff like "win battle using only melee" or "win battle using skill ABC" is too much work

It's only stuff: Selling all legendary items

Only pixels!

I knew him, Horatio or Shakespearean Tragedy Fail Chalassa's quest.



Plucked Peacock Beat Yeldin (Hard & NM)



Squishy Spider Kill the giant spider (Hard & NM)



Not sure if they will be on every map, but if so:

Show Spoiler

I smell a rat Find the ratmen in all 4 acts

Healthcare ought to be free: Pay less than 35 gold for Shagala's healer services.

Haha rofl there are some really fun suggestions

OK, I know this would most likely be too much work to actually implement it, but... I gotta suggest this because of the new skill, mana burn,

and because of the obvious pun (thank, you Draco - and sorry, guys, if you hate puns):

Show Spoiler

Drain the Wizard: Use Mana Burn to destroy at least 100SP in one single fight.

I don't hate puns :D in fact coming up with puns is the primary reason I'm posting in this thread. That being said I'm not sure many will catch the reference. Also it should allow for Rowinda/Chalassa mana drain skills too. But I think Jack said anyway stuff like this ("use skill X") is a bit too mcuh work

^Yeah, too much work, but the pun was just too stupid and obvious not to be mentioned. And you're right about Chalassa, as that skill wastes the mana, too. Rowinda's skill is different, since she actually can use the mana she drains. Oh well.

Now who's the coward?

Win three boss fights using Riley but not Krimm.



Did too, Krimm, did too!

Complete Riley's flashback without avoiding fights or using special potions.



Possible even on nightmare I think, depending a little on what gear you random for him though.



And yes, Krimm's animosity towards Riley is a gold mine
