do you use the command artifact or play with out when going for skin unlocks?

i'm trying to unlock the skins for each character and i feel using command artifact cheapens the achievement. wish you could't get achievements with artifacts on.

That's personal preference, but I play without artifacts. The game is not balanced around them, so many of them completely destroy any challenge the game has, command and sacrifice being the most obvious, but also devotion and glass, for example. Of course it all comes down to how one better enjoys the game, but I honestly believe that most people who play with command would get more overall enjoyment out of the game if they never knew artifacts existed, they become a crutch which I imagine it is hard to let go of. Replayability comes mainly from the RNG dependent nature of a build and how you adapt to it, so take that away and you are left with a fraction of the gameplay value, IMO.

It is boring to play with AoC (honestly i dont like much any of artifacts), unless you are not testing specific builds imo. The one achievement i played for with artifact that split the enemies is Smushed.

Super duper optional modifiers that only may pique the interest of people wanting something a little different. Artifact of Command may make things much easier to try and test items together while still playing the game. But in my opinion the relevance of achievements diminish but overall you get CHOICE! Which is a nice thing about RoR2. These artifacts themselves are hidden away to that extent where you'll only get them if you truly seek them out. Command does have its internal limits but think of it like a creative mode of sorts. I personally challenged myself to get all the skins before using artifacts but I wouldn't judge someone else doing differently.
