Achievements from a pirated copy saves

So, I downloaded the game when it came out last month and I'm loving it. I do want to buy the game but the thing is I already have 79 hours on my game's savefile. If I were to use the savefile in the legit copy of the game, will I get all the achievements I would already have earned (e.g The achievement where you get out of vault 111)?

probably not as once you get them they'll activate on steam but its worth a try? and shame on you

I highly doubt it.

I suspect, you get an achievement when you trigger the event for it. Otherwise the game would need a function to check the gameworld/savegame each time you load a game.

I downloaded it just to see if it could run at a playable framerate and if I would actually like it, since I would have spent more than 2 hours on the game before I could make a decision.

As Tap saves, Achievements are triggered, not given based solely on prior data from a save.

To that end, you could always play from your save, but load up a new character and just run through the intro stuff to get those first few achievements. Doesn't require you getting them all from your primary save character.

[Mr. Nameless]

Welp, thanks for the help anyway guys! Now I know I'll get the achievements when I will make another playthrought.

My experience has been that the achievement is based on when you get it, and has nothing to do with the save games.

It is how I was able to get all of the 5 endings in New Vegas while having a save game right before any of them concluded; I got the achievements for each while having a save game with none.

Right, and that's why you have 79 hours with a pirated version. /facepalm

Admitting to pirating games on the steam forums is a bannable offense, btw.

And banned. There is no justifiable excuse for pirating games, no respect for these kind of people at all.
