thank u

[Lucky Thirteen]

Thanks for the guide! I'd just like to add:

I got the achievement "Iron Curtain" by staying in the country and PASSING the assesment (that playthrough was a mess, guess I did some things well and some things poorly?)

The achievement "Social Unit" can be unlocked even if you don't pay for Patrick's school and give him the Cruise tickets when he asks for money for his trip.

[BerçotGames]

Thanks

[IdrinkWater]

i drink water

[勇者葉纸]

great

[Green]

For "Beholden To No One" (all family dead) You can just let the bomb explode in part 1

[IDDQD]

I still got the Gold Standard achievement despite helping Danton kill the General (I lured him to the corner of the apartment.)

[nywphadora]

Steam say it's 60 achievements

[Missnezor]

Hey, thank you so much for this guide! I noticed that the achievement called "wetback wall" was now named "Stop or I'll shoot!"

[tyrantton]

For Patrick to die, you must not give money to Patrick both for his status in the university and for leaving the country. He must be dumb (by working in a mine) and broke (by not having money to escape) to be reckless enough to rob the bank. If you let him die robbing the bank and Martha die when she needs 20000 for medicine, Anna will commit suicide soon after you talk to her about her children's demise. The achievement will pop right when the last member of your family dies.
