Achievements Questions

[uka7777]

Are all the achievements working as they should?

I am curious why did not I get 'The Password to Larkspur Lane'. I have finished the game - and obviously solved that riddle, you know.

And how many times do you have to look/talk in order to get the corresponding achievements? I have only 14 out of 24 now...

Do you play in another language than english? Thats the problem. To become the achievement you have to play this section in english.

[uka7777]

Yes, I play not in English.
But I got other achievements without any problems, so that could be some bug of the Russian version.

See the post release bug fix thread at top. 2 of them are known to be wonky, which I'm looking into today. But others have achieved 23/24 to date.

I'll check the password one, because yes that one could actually have a language related issue (but it should only affect only that one). For the other two, the answer is ... "a LOT!" ;)

Is it condition for getting the chatty man archivement just to talk to everyone about everything (except of the hints from Merlin)? Because I'm pretty sure I did and didn't get the archivement.
Might switching the language inbetween one playthrough screw that up?

[uka7777]

I did that as well - probably we should talk about the same things again and again and again...

[markymint]

Sure, that is the gist of the chatty one! I will monitor the situation with chatty man and observer and let you know if it's code or if they are simply hard to achieve ;) As I said someone has told me they have 23/24 achievements so as far as I know right now, they are achievable, just hard to do so.

I just fixed the other 3 troublesome ones. Now all achievements should work regardless of language setting and regardless of if you swap languages during your playthrough :)

Thanks for the fix!

I have now unlocked Observator after loading my last autosave from close to the end of the game and examined everything I still could find (but this didn't had to be a bug anyways).
Talking to anyone I that was still "accessible" didn't help for Chatty Man, so I suppose I have to start another playthrough for that.

[Primal Fear]

I still didn't get Chatty Man.
During my third playthrough and made sure to use every dialog option and also gone back to every character after their storyline was finished to see if there was still something new to talk about. It still it didn't unlock.
The first time, before talking to Enkidu, I saved and switched to German to test that bug fix. Didn't work.
Then I switched back to English in the title menu and loaded my save game. Didn't work too.

Potential problems I could think about:
-I didn't use every item with everyone in the hope it might trigger an dialogue line
-maybe it needs also some hints from Merlin
-I skipped all dialogues with Escape (if possible) or right click
-I did use the Steam overlay
-I might have tabbed out of the game once

[markymint]

I don't think its bugged. Whatever the conditions are that are needed to be met, I think they are working -- the stats appear to show people are getting that achievement. But I'll doublecheck the requirements (off top of my head I can't quite remember) and edit this post later with info or a hint :)

[MkayShock Madness]

Something new about the chatty man achievement?

[markymint]

Nope. It works fine, it's probably just quite hard to achieve. I thought Primal Fear had edited or posted that he managed to get it in the end. Either way, global stats appear to show that it's working and we can't see any issues with it our end!

[MkayShock Madness]

Well some hints or something like that would be nice. :)

[markymint]

Lots of talking to lots of people

No, that was only the other thread about the black bars on screenshots.
What I did realize is that I forgot talking with the donkey (not sure if it counts as a character) in my third playthrough, but I surely did that in my first one.

Anyways, given that I don't know what exactly the problem is for me I'm certainly not going to give it another try with fourth playthrough. Well, it's just an archivement.
