Looks like the entire list of achievements have been revealed for those who like the achievement metagame thing. There aren't really any spoilers, but I'll put a warning here anyway because it does seem to have a few quest and location names. Basically they're the same as Fallout 3's achievements. Complete this quest, get to this level, etc.

Good find, mind linking us to the source for confirmation?

Posted: **Tue Oct 04, 2011 2:46 pm**

No spoilers? The story trophies give away the course of the plot ..

EDIT: Now that I looked at them again; they don't reveal that much. Anyways, if these are real, does that mean we will be able to..

To be fair I warned you. And it doesn't really give away anything about the plot, except the names of some locations which I've already forgotten. If you've read any interview you know the basic plot anyway.

Here's the link, http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game ... ievements/

Join the Imperial Army? I guess you have to pick either them or the Stormcloaks at some point of the story.

And what's this "Circle".. vampires? Dragon slayers?

Cool thanks. I checked out the link, just because I was suspicious that these were legit. Not blaming you, but I just wanted to confirm There was a link to Game Informer with the same list that says:

Game Informer Article wrote:SUPER TINY UPDATE: Kind folks in the comments pointed out that this list has in fact been confirmed by Bethesda via Twitter. I removed "Leaked" from the title and cut out the sentence that was originally here about it not being confirmed. Achievements!

I'm going to look through the comments and see if I can find the Twitter confirmation.

EDIT: Twitter Link

Notice it says "Appears so". But it still all seems legit.

If you can please link me to it. Not that I wouldn't believe you, but of course I'd like to go through the tweets for more info if it's from a developer or something

EDIT:

Oh, it's Pete's! Weird I didn't see that earlier. I occasionally go through his tweets to find new tidbits of info

It would still only be October 25th!
But I agree. This last month is going to be hard. Luckily, I have like 3 concerts coming up before Skyrim is released to ease the pain. And long hours at work to kill time

Lucky you, I had to sacrifice going to my favourite band for the sake of a job in a tiny country in Eastern Europe...So I'll spend my days getting yelled at by old ladies and my nights crying about Skyrim.

My feelings exactly. Well, thank you for the list, Axeforhire!

Notably absent is an achievement for setting fire to X chickens.

Posted: **Tue Oct 04, 2011 6:49 pm**

Oh wow, I thought they would be going the Oblivion way with their achievements for sure. I was hoping they would do it like this though, a few skill based achievements, some for completing quests. They kind of remind me of Fable 3's achievements.

Posted: **Tue Oct 04, 2011 6:57 pm**

These look great. I used to be a bit of an achievement [&@%!], not really had the time in the last couple of years due to University. I also play most games on the PC now, presumably there will be Steam achievements. This game couldn't come out at a worse time for me. Got huge amounts of course work and five exams to prepare for in November/December.

Do you guys think that the Bleak Falls Barrow quest that we've seen demo'd is part of the main story line?

Thinking back to the earliest write ups when journalists got their first look at the game, i seem to recall that dragon claw quest being given by some random person in a town (presumably riverwood).

Now, looking at how these achievements are ordered, and the points given, it looks like it is part of the main quest line. You have 2 10 point quests, then 5 20 pointers, then a final 50.

I assume "Unbound" is the tutorial, and I'm thinking that Bleak Falls Barrow is a semi-tutorial quest, in that it is easy to find and it is where they want you to find your first dragon word. I'm guessing you are not forced to do that quest to generate the dragons and get things rolling, but of course i have no way of knowing beyond speculation.

Also,

This block seems to not only suggest the opposite of, but in fact destroys, the assumption that we cannot join the empire/rebels and influence things:

* Taking Sides - Join the Stormcloaks or the Imperial Army (10)
* War Hero - Capture Fort Sungard or Fort Greenwall (10)
* Hero of Skyrim - Capture Solitude or Windhelm (30)

That sounds like a really cool line of quests and involves actually shaping the map for one given side or the other

I still hope that the Stormcloaks are the good guys and that the Imperial Army is "evil". The fact that the achievements are called "War Hero" and "Hero of Skyrim" regardless of what you choose seems to suggest otherwise, though.

Posted: **Wed Oct 05, 2011 4:18 pm**

Pffft, having the choice so simple as good and evil wouldn't be very appealing to me. Things like that are always more interesting when both sides have their points and their faults, and I have to spend forever agonizing over the decision...that statement was kind of masochistic, wasn't it? But yeah, I'd be disappointed if it was just a good and evil thing. That would be boring.

I wonder if this means that two of the Daedric Princes won't have shrine quests? Jyggalag I can see not having a shrine and possibly Dagon....

Posted: **Thu Oct 06, 2011 1:01 am**

I find it more likely that there will be a dynamic quest involving two Daedric princes, whom you must choose between. And a lack of his Jyggalagness.

Posted: **Fri Oct 07, 2011 2:43 am**

New info:

A Faction called the Circle
Spoiler:
The Thieves Guild is in disoray/a state of debilitation
Imperial Army is the counterpart of the Stromcloaks
Spoiler:
The MQ involves capturing a Fortress, and later a major city
Speechcraft involves persuasion, bribery, and intimidation - somewhat like Morrowind
There are at least 15 Daedric Artifacts, - Oblivion had 15 - probably one for each Prince, although it is likely that 2 Princes will be missing.

@Knight, it has basically been confirmed that neither side is evil. Besides, why should the Empire be 'evil', when the PCs of old have always fought alongside it?

@Chaos, my guess would be similar. Jyggalag and another. I do like the overlapping idea though.

Ah, my bad, sorry, I space that stuff out...well, someone already did, so thanks to that person...I'll try to keep a better watch on that stuff next time...

Sure it wasn't Imperial Army, rather than Legion?
