    I dont know whats so rewarding about these achievements... since they dont really offer much besides bragging rights, but i know most people like them and gives games some sort of replay value for people.

    Oblivion for PC didn't have achievements, but thats probably because bethesda didn't bother adding them after the original PC & 360 launch back in 06.

    So yea... do you want steam achievements in skyrim?

    Why not? They don't do any harm, and Steam has the least invasive achievements of all time, there's no noise, and the indicator is really small once you get to 1080p and higher resolutions. 


    Plus there's a good sense of satisfaction associated with them. Steam achievements aren't as addictive as Xbox ones though, because there's still no point system. It's the point values of different achievements that really got me into the whole system.

    As long as it doesn't take time and money better spent making sure the game runs without issues, I'm all for it.

    Well, the Xbox achievements in Oblivion were pretty stupid, but I think with Fallout 3, Bethesda showed that they can do better, so sure, why not.

    I actually do not want achievements for a game like Elder Scrolls. I want to be able to enjoy the open world without having to worry about getting useless achievements.

    @FreakAche: Well it was an early 360 game. At least they weren't unattainable like some of the achievements in those days.

    I really don't care about Achievements, which is why I like Steam achievements: no numbers attached.

    The game certainly doesn't need them, but if they want to take the time to add them, then i don't mind them.

    Is it just me, or does that comment make absolutely no sense at all?

    I'll probably end up playing one of the console versions since I doubt very much if my laptop will be able to run this game, but it would be cool if more games offered cross-platform achievements like Portal 2 did.

    Yeah, I meant to say that they don't have gamerscore attached to them.  Guess the website ate half my post.

    It will probably be one of the few games that I won't even think about achievements, since oblivion and morrowind had such a great feeling of achievement from one moment to the next.. but sure, why not.

    This. I love it when people can't see the big picture, yet bash Achievements because "they ruin the game!!!". Steamworks is awesome: Cloud saving, Steam's own DRM (which is miles better than other "options" out there), leaderboards and statistics, etc. And I personally love me some Achievements in my games. When I'm in the mood of unlocking them, they add replay value to a game I've purchased. When I don't feel like it, no one's forcing me to get them, which is something people very often forget.

    If it's on it's own like the achievements were in Spore I'd say no, but if it's tied to Steam & the game is coming out to the 360/ps3 as well then sure. They sure as hell don't hurt any.

    I use achievements as an in-game To-Do list and a bonus activity. On the console, it helped me discover the faction quests in Oblivion IV, which provided 70+hours of value.
