angelfenriz Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Not that it matters but I wonder if the achievements will be on the retail pc version seeing as steam is mandatory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcrin Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Achievements you get just by playing the game normally should all be wrapped up and tossed down a well. Thankfully I'm not disappointed as I had never even considered achievements until I saw the page. Ah well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimembrain Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 aside from a couple pieces of info coming with the achievments I could care less .. why on earth people work so hard to get a little popup on screen is beyond me ~_~; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagex Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 So do you guys reckon the tutorial of the game will be similar to Oblivion? Which basically taught you all of the skills and made you try them out as well.I don't see why they'd make you try out skills; it's not like you're going to be forced to stick with the same major and minor skills anymore. I think it'll just be a fight to get you used to combat and then some exposition-ish stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just completed your first dungeon for instance. And after the final duel in the dark, feeling exhausted and proud with yourself, you will also receive a message greeting you on your achievement. I think it's nice and welcoming, and will make it less lonely. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I wish there were more interesting achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormcrown Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Just the sense of accomplishment. The thought that your not the only one who thinks doing that MEANS something. That's why achievements are so meaningful to people. And bragging to people... As Skyrim will also be for "Games for Windows" I believe we should see achievements. And the steam-related requirement, I'm thinking we will see steam achievements as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A classic example is pacifist runs in shooters: Can you get through a game that's all about killing things without ever hurting anyone? Some of the OCDs in World of Goo also apply here: In order to get that score, you'll have to do it in a very non-obvious way that requires a deep understanding of how the game's mechanics really fit together. Achievements like that cause you to question and peer deeper into what makes the game tick. If you've played Half-Life 2, then remember the "Little Rocket Man" achievement to see what I mean. These achievements, though, are s***. "Complete the tutorial." "Complete the game." "Collect 100,000 Gold." They're just there for the sake of HAVING achievements.

SynysterShadows1213 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I never thought achievements were worth anything, but I think the only game I ever actually tried to get them was Dragon Age Origins. I suppose I tried DA2 as well as Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, but it was always for fun. Achievements are designed to challenge yourself towards a goal (fun as well), but here in the Skyrim ones there's no effort because whether you want to or not you end up getting the achievements b/c they are like you said part of a quest (that you probably have to do anyways) and getting XXX amount of gold..... So.........to lighten things up 37 days? :sweat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
