Select up to 3-5 achievements and display them in Overlay

[[HYBRID BEING]]

I recall playing some game that allowed to showcase up to 3 (iirc) achievements, selectable from menu, in the top-left corner of the screen in-game - it would be nice if Steam Overlay allowed something similar by giving users ability to select several achievements to show on Steam Overlay directly without opening Achievement page.

Now, there is a "So close..." achievement display, but it isn't really that useful at times, especially when it shows story-related achievements (well, imo, those are somewhat useless in the first place, but i digress), and i don't really understand the logic behind it (it makes sense for achievements with progress bars, but i don't remember last time i seen those).

The "so close" is the first achievement you miss based on global rarity.

As you said, because the actual progression tracking is hit and miss by games thatfeature would not add much to it. Even then a x/y progression isn't the most useful for many. Something like "speak to all NPCs in the area" would profit more from a list of the actual NPCs instead of having a 32/76.

Ah, that's what it is. Sounds more like "popular" achievement, than a "close one".

Yeah, (collapsable) sub-lists would be the way for such achievements, but let's leave this for another suggestion.
As for the main topic here, now that i think about it, there is not much difference between opening Overlay with or without open Browser (you still have to press Shift+Tab to see it, after all), so maybe it doesn't have to be Overlay directly, but showing selected achievements at the top of the Achievements page would be just fine?
