So about the I am the Captain of my Soul achievement.

[Supreme Admiral Brenton]

So im sorry if this question has been asked before but.... Where's my achievement?
Fully finished the game for the first time getting the avid horizon ending after choosing that one over the retire from the zee fairing life ending and uuhhh... where is it?

I rushed this ending so i could start a new game with saves with my friend but i wanted the achivement before i left 50 odd hours of progress to be gone because Hey... cant save my no auto saves name and have a savable one...
So what gives?

[Clivelaw]

You went to the Avid Horizon with the Venturer ?
It does not count as a "win", thus, you don't get the achievement.
You must get a "win" ending ( going East, flying the dirigible, acomplishing your Ambition ).
And maybe doing the Zubmariner ending ( immortality but never did try, so, cannot tell ).

[Elitewrecker PT]

I don't think the dirigible counts either

[Clivelaw]

Mmh yes.
It must be purely related to ambitions and hidden ambitions then.
So not the dirigible, but the colony on Aestival should count.

[Elitewrecker PT]

Yeah I think that's it.

[Supreme Admiral Brenton]

Oh wow.... thanks for telling me my 50 hour + ending counted for nothing except a normal death game.... God sake im so annoyed about that too. id just got enough to farm mt nomad for money to retire but thought no. this ending seems really interesting.

It wasn't for nothing if you pursued a story that you found interesting. You're told at the start that your ambition is the winning goal, so don't be tricked by believing there's a shortcut.

Before you chose to pass beyond the gates with The Merchant Venturer, it stated "This will end your game, although your next character will retain something interesting." Your future captains will now have access to The Horizon Codex, which gives you an advantage for your next win attempt. If you choose the Correspondent Legacy your map will be retained, so completing your ambition shouldn't take too long if you were sailing for 50+ hours.

Apart from the fact that.
1: horizon is hardly a shortcut.
And 2: i also remember "Hidden" ambitions so how was i supposed to know this was not another?

I mean... was a simple "this wont count as a victory win condition" exclamer be so bad?

[Clivelaw]

Well, I had the same problem than yours first time I played.
Went North with the venturer.
And it didn't count as a win.

It feels like a winning situation, but the game considers it not.

If you like the game, don't worry, you will feel great finding a way East, South, your father's bones or to settle in Aestival.
I sincerely hope you will be able to get the achievement following a quest that you like.

Your next captain will hopefully have it easier with what you've learned over the past 50 hours. Best of luck.
