Browsing these forums again and came across people wanting achievements in game. So, here we go, implemented achievements or not. CataDDA is technically an open world sandbox in my opinion. We know what this means. We make our own list of achievements. So anyone wants to make thier own lists of achievements, feel free. Others can copy and paste them then cross them off when done or whatever.
This boils down to Cataclysm having no goal except to survive. Oh, and the goals we make ourselves.
Just thought this was a good idea. So people, lets make a huge list of achievements here.
Loving some of Candlebury’s achievements here, http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=5755.45
Quoting John’s post from the linked thread:
A well thought of achievement doesn't actually require a fair playing field either, nor does it require the game to be designed to meet specific criteria. For example, achievements that involve foes being killed carry all their conditions on their definitions without the need the need to change the main game at all:-Nailed’it: Kill 100 zombies with a nailbat.
-Vorpal Blade: Kill a Jabberwock with a sword of any kind.Then we have achievements in which the ways to achieve them are so broad that no game would ever try to balance ever:
-Deep beneath the earth: Reach a mine finale.
-Indy ploy: Reach the bottom of a temple.
-No Kevins: Reach the core of an ice lab.
-Payday: Have a cash card with more than $8,000.
-8D: reach the 8D morale smiley.And them we can have achievements for overly specific situations:
-Casimir effect: Install the quantum teleportation bionic
-Creepy Crawlies: Meet a sludge crawler
-FIREEE FIIIIRE: have more than 80 map squares on lighted on fire at a given time.Really I think that achievements could be a very fun thing to have in game rather than a detractor for most people, I for one know that they would make me play the game for longer timespans. And its not like the game didn’t had small goals already considering what you need to do in order to get an artifact sword or a desert eagle.
My ideas:
Posthuman - reach a mutation threshold
It’s been a year - survive for a year with 30 day seasons
Im fine with achievements but not with adding number or a reward to them, that turns them in to goals.
Some more achievements
-Pain is momentary, being eaten is forever.
Reach 100 pain
-Voom Voom
Build a vehicle from starch
-
I feel the need for speed
Reach 100 MPH -
Faster than a speeding bullet
Reach 300 MPH

-Is it dead? Kill a zombie for the first time...-It is now.
…And beat the corpse to a pulp.
really ? how about an achievement for opening the game ?
The first few achievements in a game are always really easy to get.
Just saying.
“Who needs courage?”: Equip a firearm.
“Doesn’t taste like chicken at all!”: Eat human flesh.
“Maybe with some fava beans and a nice chianti?” Eat a cooked meal with human flesh.
“6 million dollar man”: Install 15 Bionics
Whole-heartedly agree
Games now reward you for the most trivial of things, which turns achievements into an annoyance.
Having 10 companions at the same time, that’s an achievement. But there is no need to make your first companion award-worthy.
