Big Talker achievement issue

[epsilon828]

Just finished the game in two sittings; what a fantastic ride. I had high hopes for this after finally getting around to Primordia after way too long.

I have all but two achievements; one I know has to do with the box, and I'm pretty sure I know how to handle that one, but the Big Talker one is vexing me. I'm virtually certain I talked to everyone in the game multiple times, even getting the "I have nothing to say" after exhausting all options. So I'm a bit perplexed as to why I'm missing this one.

Does anyone have any ideas about which character or characters I might be missing? This doesn't seem like the kind of game where there would be "hidden" characters way off the beaten path, but if anyone was missing this achievement and then got it by talking to a certain person later, I'd be curious.

In the meantime, on to the second playthrough. Thanks Wormwood for another excellent adventure!

There's some info there on how to do it!

My guess is that you missed the Feral Stranger.

[Spoilers, obviously]

Well, I just finished my second playthrough, and still haven't gotten either of the other two achievements, and I made sure to follow that guide this time. The one thing that gave me pause this time is that the guide said you have o talk to the skulls at the shooting gallery (in Deadland) and I wasn't really able to find any way to do that aside from interacting with them via the rocks. The only way I could get them to appear was with the rocks, and then I was unable to change the cursor to just click on them. They talked to me, but I'm not sure that counted as me talking to them. But once I solved the puzzle I was unable to interact with them at all again.

As for the Feral Stranger, is that referring to the replacement for the dog in Deadland? Because I definitely exhausted all dialogue with him this time even though he kept killing me. :-)

Also, as for the Box achievement, I made sure not to pick it up this time (I interacted with it once but just ignored it the rest of the time.) Do I have to pick it up and then just make sure not to interact with it in inventory? I'll give that a try.

Thanks for the quick responses!

I think I read so in a guide, yes.

@epsilon regarding the box yes, u need to pick it up and get to the crab and not open it after the crab fight is over i believe you are granted the achievement!

Yep, that worked. Just had to be careful not to use the scroll wheel because it would automatically open it when I scrolled over it.

So now it's just down to Big Talker. 3 playthroughs now and I still can't figure out what I'm missing there. Feels like there has to be some character someplace that isn't necessary to the story, but I have no idea at this point.

I can get u a savegame that will autoproc the achievement, just let me know when you're out of things, but pretty much what they guide says stands true.

Big talker gets unlocked after u talk to the woman i believe, at the ending scene.

Huh. Interesting, I have the same exact issue. Three playthroughs and I used the guides on the last two in case I really missed someone... and still no achievement. But I did talk to everyone on the list, maybe not in that exact oder, definitely the Feral Stranger.. and got mauled about five times because I too decided to gradually pick all the dialogue option in case that was where my mistakes was. =)

Does the crow in the courtyard count (both times)? Even if you can't really start a conversation with it.

[James Spanos]

You need to hit the crow with a stone, just talking/interacting with it won't do it, u need to hit it with a stone and enter a dialog. Both in Strangeland and Deadland.

If you guys want you can upload your savegames and pm me or mail me at thanaspanos at gmail dot com and i'll make them ready for you.

Oh, right, right. Felt like I might be forgetting something. My bad.

[SoleiBee]

Oh damn, that was it! I didn't even think to smack the raven (yes I know, not a crow XD) at the well with one of the rocks, even though it practically spells it out for you, what with all the "sticks and stones.." Tried it and it worked. Thank you.
