Topic: Achievements

I was racking up Achievements while playing Mass Effect (PC) the other day, and it occurred to me that doing that was an extra bit of fun in an already fun game. It made me wonder if Achievements would be worth doing in Muties.

Because Achievements could be fairly complex, giving them would need to be part of NiMROD, rather than "live"...I wouldn't want to run a bunch of extra script to check on them every time you did something. Some example achievements could be:

Hero of the Wastes
You are a shining example of all that is good in the post-apocalyptic world.
500 reputation with at least 5 factions

Enemy of the Wastes
You are a vile example of all that is wrong in the post-apocalyptic world.
-500 reputation with at least 5 factions

Crusader of Caerbannog
Even these white furry demons with the nasty, big, pointy teeth fear you.
1000 rabbits killed

Kleptomaniac
You just can't resist taking anything that isn't nailed down.
1000 items stolen


Discussion? Thoughts?

Re: Achievements

Good, but some smaller ones such as "Defender of the Wastes" "Vanguard of the Wastes" etc would not go amiss. And another - Novice Hunter, 50/100 game animals killed.

Re: Achievements

This is also a feature in Hellgate: London. They have everything from killing the 1st major boss 100 times, to smashing 1000 creates to killing the final boss of the game with a cricket bat. They really make the game more fun, and I think they would do the same for MFoN smile

Re: Achievements

Just to resurrect a dead thread, here's some early prototype achievements:

These are not necessarily final, but this is probably the final design.

Re: Achievements

Re: Achievements

Maybe to start out with:

Slacker
You've achieved nothing!  Principal Strickland was right about you.

And then you'd lose it when you actually achieved something.
