xI WARFARE Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Are you kidding me? Do you know anything about the Elder Scrolls series? These games are HUGE! ES4: Oblivion took me about 300 hours to get everything out of. You rent this game, you may never wanna take it back. I've had this preordered since the release date was announced! 300 Hours for Oblivion? And i'm talking about Achivements not 100%ing the game. And yeah probably more than 15 hours. But lots seem story related and it doesn't look like hours of grinding is needed for the achievements, like get 1000 kills with x weapon etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostmaster88 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 i'm just happy that they made achievements that aren't connected to one of the guilds... it was boring to do all of the guild missions. at least there will be more fun now killing all those dragons...;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiser Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 There are a few achievements connected to each guild, there's just not as many as there were in Oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkestofFlames Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I'm actually going to be turning off my notifications while I play this. Don't care about achievements when it comes to an Elder Scrolls game. I also don't care to hear the bleeps when friends come online and achievements pop. I think I will change my profile to say "If I am online but playing Skyrim: LEAVE ME ALONE!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiyiGaiden Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 now i have a question how come Webb x360a has achiements for skyrim? Can't wait to play it and he's already palying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will change my profile to say "If I am online but playing Skyrim: LEAVE ME ALONE!!" thats a good idea, i will probably do that aswell. i think i might go on a murder spree if i get an invite from a squeaky kid wanting me to play MW3 whilst im killing a dragon.

ThePrince Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I really like the achievements for this game. They don't seem ridiculously difficult to get, though some may be time consuming. I will enjoy trying to get as many as I can for this game. If I ever get them all, I'll be very surprised and happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dite Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I like them. It's more diverse. I loved Oblivion, but I wasn't too happy about the achievements overall. It was still nice when I got them, but nothing great. But, these look like the perfect balance of achievements. It doesn't look like anything needs expert skill, but it's not all questline achievements. I love it when achievements aren't about "being this good" or "Complete the game for 100%". I think they should be a way to get everyone to try everything there is to offer, and that's what this seems to do. I don't think I'd really want to go through dungeons and ruins, so I don't want achievements that want you to go through tons and tons of dungeons, but I want it to be enough to draw me out and try a little dungeon-diving. And, I'm very interested in the marriage one. The other day, I was actually thinking, "I wish you could have families here". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecadentBeaver Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I'm in agreement. I think the list is a good mix and nott all mission based, or complete on 5 difficulties or kill 500 of each enemy. I'll earn them as I get them and won't be rushing to complete any of them as soon as I can. Will be keeping it for quite some time. I like how they combined pick 50 locks and pickpocket 50 times into one achievement. Will likely do that when I go for my thief charcter playthrough.

FlevoHD Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) The other day, I was actually thinking, "I wish you could have families here". We can get married, but we cant get kids. Can we? *hopeful* now i have a question how come Webb x360a has achiements for skyrim? Can't wait to play it and he's already palying He's an x360a reviewer, so he got a copy before release for his review Edited November 1, 2011 by FlevoHD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magician NG Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 They're all easy, time-heavy achievements. With a fair guess, I'd say 40hrs for 1000/1000, with a guidebook. This isn't an FPS that you wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am after 10-15 hours. Who wants to rush through everything an Elder Scrolls game has to offer? Don't spoil the experience by blitzing through the achievements. Take your sweet time. Enjoy the characters, stories and dungeons the creators spent the last three years making.

Dite Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 We can get married, but we cant get kids. Can we? *hopeful* I'm not sure. But, I still count a spouse as family--better than being alone. My main hope is that they'll be more interactive or important. In Fable 2, I think, it was cute that you had a quest involving your child, but I felt that other than that, and the initial baby stages, I couldn't fully connect with the family. It wasn't so much "I can't wait to go home and see my little girl" as "Oh crap! I forgot to make her go home and visit her daughter." You don't have to see the results, but maybe let you train your child (no real stats or anything, but I'd like to see a mother show her child a potion or something). But, I understand that there's not too much of a chance of seeing that happen soon. So before I hear any complains/disputes, I say this knowing it as a want not an expectation. I do hope you get a few spouse-related quests. Or, that there are options for more tailored characters, rather than marry generic commoner (It could be an option. I don't always want to wonder if my spouse has to die for the storyline. But, just not only choosing between them). Maybe a few potential faction marriages. Like if they had it in Oblivion, you could marry Vicente and just not do the Purification. But, I'll probably go for an achievement run first, still making the character I want, but making her up for pretty much anything to get the achievements and experience everything. Then, redo that character and make a few other characters in personalized storylines like I'm doing for Oblivion. The character I initially made is a mage/healer type that likes to help people. In my first playthrough, I had her join all the factions, and got all the achievements. Now that I'm back into Oblivion and renting it on the PS3, I playing through again making the choices I'd really have her character make. So, I won't join the Dark Brotherhood, Thieves Guild, etc...she will live in Anvil and favor Dibella (kind of regretting renting the GotY version).

R0KETM4N Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 It's definitely nice for the faction related achievements to join 1 OR the other. They seem to have set up the same to be able to get all of the achievements in 1 playthrough, rather than 1 for each faction =). Completionism makes me a happy man!

Tk l GaMBit Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hello, can somebody already say something about missable achievements in this game? I hope there are none of them. I hope there isn't already a thread to this topic, if so I am very sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats one thing I didn't like about Shivering Isles was having to revert back to an old save to become the other duke/duchess. And I like the achievements. Rather than have us complete retarded tasks, it seems they are just giving incentive to explore all the features of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz66 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Does anybody know if there will be missable achievements or will you be able to get them all in 1 playthrough like oblivion??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rza_2002 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Does anybody know if there will be missable achievements or will you be able to get them all in 1 playthrough like oblivion??? as far as i can tell no.... unless the specific quest achievements are only available to 1 of the 2 factions I'm 53 hours in and yet to decide who to "side" with, so worst case just dont decide till much later in the game [still have 23 quests and 20 misc objectives active] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll on friday I doubt very much there will be a roadmap any time soon, the game is huuuuuuuuuuuuge, i'm 20 hours in level 12 and only been to 2 cities 2 towns and about 20 missions complete (2 main quest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not fair *crying* but seriously enjoy. Also, does every NPC have a name like in Oblivion? Or have they been well lazy like in Fallout where every character is called Wastelander, Tenpenny Resident, Rivet City Resident etc. That really killed the atomosphere in the game for me, and prevented me playing through more than once.

rza_2002 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Also, does every NPC have a name like in Oblivion? Yes, apart from random enemys... and you can talk to every1 [and lots & lots of them want you to do stuff for them] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBDrew84 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I have a question about the game and I did not want to start a new thread, Why is everyone telling me I look sick/ill. At first it was only a few characters and now every other person tells me, Don't take it the wrong way but you look sick. Am I being poisoned or am I coming down the the plague?

Webb Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 You could be poisoned or have contracted a disease... try taking a cure disease potion or getting a blessing from a shrine (there's one in Whiterun by the big tree and Riften, for example). That should cure it. Took me a while to work that one out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
