9 Achievements to go in Skyrim Enhanced. @_@
Pre-congrats! :) But I am still puzzled by that release...all I heard about it was an almost-universal derision of "why would anyone want to play a mod-less Skyrim (even if the base game is prettier than before)?"--yet I see so many of my friends on Steam play it, and log so many hours on it, even if they already had the achievements on the other version. I guess it wasn't as horrible/unplayable without SkyUI et al after all?
I dont get how people can sink so much time in a game just to unlock achievements O.o
Please share some of your time :(
For me, achievement hunting is something I do when I really love a game. I have only attempted it for a handful of games.
Dead Rising 2
Borderlands
Dragon Age Origins (Never 100% because of the glitch that doesn't count darkspawn deaths properly)
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Warriors Orochi 3
Fallout 4
and now Skyrim SE
After Dead Rising 2 I have sworn off attempting any that require playing any sort of online multiplayer component. That one was a nightmare because you had to win 1st place in every minigame at least once. Small player base, no benefits to doing it other than achievement, randomly selected minigames, and horrible netcode causing tons of lag... yeah that was not fun.
I like to go for it when the achievements drive me to play the game differently. Skyrim has them set up in a way that will push you to try all the main things at least once, hang out with mages, kill stuff with weapons, do some stealthy stuff. Play as both a Vampire Lord and a Werewolf. Get married, adopt a ***kid, etc
Other achievements that I won't go for: "Beat the game on easy. Beat the game on Normal. Beat the game on Hard." ESPECIALLY if they are not obtainable all by playing on the HIGHEST DIFFICULTY.
Side Note - Yeah Skyrim SE sucks without SkyUI, it is playable, but so are a lot of other dumpster fire games. The biggest thing I miss playing vanilla is the Unofficial Patch. I spent most of my achievement hunting rotating saves and spamming F5 paranoid a vital NPC would randomly be eaten by a dragon... or a floor glitch.
