I was wondering if its possible to 100% achievement complete this game in one playthrough or if you need multiple Savestates like in Fallout 4?

Multiple as two of the Daedra artifacts require two different outcomes on a quest. But it might be doable with some saving and reloading.

You can complete all of them in a single playthrough, yes. Although it would be weird to have an archmage (faction leader for magic) doing thievery to rank higher in the thieves guild, becoming a guild master there. But hey, your game, your way!

If you want to do this in a single playthough, you can. However, be careful as there are some missable achievements. They're a result of your choices in various dialogues. So better to pick the right one. You can lookup for these here https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Achievements#Missable_Achievements and follow the wiki links to find what to pick and what not. Each quest wiki enlists which achievement you can get and also tells what to not do if you want a specific achievement.

Yes but you can lose some achievements like if you destroy the dark brotherhood for example
Civil war is two opposing factions
Dawnguard is two opposing factions
One achievement is destroying the DB, which prevents the DB achievements.

Two playthroughs are required.... unless you do one side then load a save from before you chose and play the other side, but that's essentially splitting hairs for the sake of it.....
oh and Thirsk hall has two opposing achievements too

The There is no distinction with the civil war or the Dawnguaurd, you get the same achievements either way,
Destroying the DB does not grant any achievement,
There is no achievement related to the Thrisk Mead Hall.

To experience all the content, yes you'll need two playthroughs as several quests have two outcomes, but if just farming for 100% achievement completion, and can be done in one game.

Just to add there was a quirk with regards the daedric artifacts achievement I believe it was bugged so the count required one more daedric artifact than was actually available. You can however circumnavigate this by acquiring two artifacts from the Hircine quest instead of one. First side with Sindig and get the related artifact. Afterwards leave the cave and kill him to gain Hircines favour.

If you have the Unofficial Patch, it makes Auriel's bow count towards that achievement as well .

And if you have the patch the glitch with both Hircine artifacts no longer works. At least it never worked for me after i got it.

Do the PAID Creation Club ad-dons still keep folks from earning achievements? Team Kinggath had a new release that looks good (the bard creation), but if players are not allowed achievements for helping talented creators, this is a problem. :Monokuma2_DGR::steamthis:

It can be done in one go if one sides with Sinding in "Ill Met By Moonlight" and talking to Hircine as normal then going back to kill Sinding for the Savior's Hide then returning to Hircine again.

Anything outside the Anniversary Edition bundle disables achievements, but there are mods that enable them again. I recommend SSE Engine Fixes.
