    I'm sure you could if you're talking about the PC version.  I mean it's just the game plus DLC, why would they want to take that out?

    it probably does but why don't you just play the game and earn them. It kind of defeats the purpose of calling them achievements if you don't do anything to achieve them in the first place.

    they have patched it, the achievements up to a point unlock but do not add to your overall score.

    Just do what I did and use the console to give you things to help you get the achievements (I didn't know about the addachievement command). You can reveal the map and clear it 100 times in town and you will get the visited 100 places achievement.

    Can anyone confirm that this was patched?
     
    Also if it has.. and it unlocks the achievements but doesnt add to your overall score.. does that mean that if you use that method and it doesnt add to the overall score you are screwed forever? Since you cant re-unlock achievements more than 1 time... 
     
    so even if you play it legit after you do the addchievement method... then it wont give you the score?

    Because I want to support the developer and might as well get achievements out of it while im at it. Im a whore when it comes to achievements =)
     
    on another, but related note... id also prefer to get the achievements out of the way and play the game not worrying about them... because with being an ahievement whore comes the whole thing where you play the game a certain way to make sure you get achievements.

    seriously? 
     
    The game was patched EVERY SINGLE TIME DLC WAS RELEASED.... I only have 1200 AP in the game... I cheated them, yes I did... 
    look at my achievement score... why would I lie? why would I not get all the achievements if it was possible for me to do so?

    I am not calling you a liar, its just i would think if this was patched Google would turn something up... and you are the only one saying that its been patched...
     
    So can you clarify... are you saying up to 1200 it works, but post 1200 it doesnt work? so you can still get 1200 with addchievement ## console command?

    @Chrushev:
    my friend only got 1000 off of my copy  before any of the dlc was released, she can get no more than that since the third or so patch. 
    achievements unlock fine if you play the game legitimately though.

    Ok, that still partially answers my question... can you get up to 1000 now? or you cant even get 1 achievement now?

    Ok so what about if someone tries the code, it unlocks the achievement.. but doesnt add to your gamer score.. can you replay the game and earn those achievements legit? or are you screwed?

    You're screwed. Achievements only unlock once. I guess it is kind of a punishment for cheating.
