Hedging my Bets

[Mister Sea]

Hey guys, I wanted to ask if someone would upload a save or some editor so that I could get this achievement. I know I know I forgot to read the achievements beforehand and that is my fault but I have done pretty much everyone and I am kinda mad that I didnt know to save the sigils for the tower until later. I already solved and picked them up legitaely, its just the order in which I did it the rendered me unable to get this achievement. I find this unfair for players like me who got immersed in the world and got the shaft for being curious at the onset of the game =(.

To be fair, it kind of works both ways. On my first playthrough I didn't know about the achievement either but luckily enough I only went to the tower when I had them all. I did however use a Messenger helper on the last sigil just to see what it would do out of curiosity and missed out on that achievement because I asked for help.

Unfortunately saves aren't transferable so it looks like you'll have to play through the game again if you want it that badly.

Or, you know, the Steam Achievement Manager.

I hope Croteam does not do the Achievements-For-THIS-Story-Path thing in TTP2. This is because the player should not feel forced to change how they progress through the game based on achievements. The triple-fork on Milton's dialogue path (Silence|Press|Deal) is fine because it also isn't obvious it's a fork. The 49 sigils image and Messenger help box, to name a few, were really obvious, on the other hand.

A pipe dream would be for these achievements to be one-time-only so if you got one, you couldn't get the others in the fork from a new playthrough. There are no "opposites": the worst is the double-up-achievement for Deal.

[Mister Sea]

Yep. Oh well its only an achievement. I can still sleep at night missing only one by the end of tonight.

[swigartba]

did you get 49 red sigils befor you entered the tower?

[Mister Sea]

No. I understand why I did not get it. It is just annoying to me how this is an achievement considering I did everything just in a different order.

[himmatsj]

I got lucky. I "followed the order", and was rightly rewarded...but yes, I'd have been pissed if I missed out on it on a technicality. Regardless, it's good that once I did "complete" the game, I was able to go back and climb the tower w/o needing to restart the game.

IMHO, restarting this game is a silly idea. Cause obviously, you already know the solutions to all puzzles. So yeah, you're out of luck there, buddy.

[Mister Sea]

I honestly stopped caring. Sucks but no one else cares at the end of the day. Thanks for helping!

[Serotoninphobe]

Same boat here...
I'm planning to get all the achievements until I realized that I failed the Hedging my Bets already.. It's really pointless and tedious to have a new playthrough all over again just for this easily missed achievement...So sad

I do hope someone might have a proper save file for this one as well...

You could, you know, play again? If you lack the patience, then that is what caused you to miss the cheevo in the first place.
