Yeah, somebody fill us in on the Caravan concept page :)

I'm working on it now.   Have about 70%
 
Caravan is easy.  Just make as much as your deck 7s, 9s, and 10s as you can.  At the start discard as much as you can until you have 3 of each in hand.  then play the card in the order of 7, 9, 10 or 10, 9, 7.  Those add up to 26, which is the highest value the caravan can be without going bust.  Generally if you get 2 of the caravans to 16 you'll win.

Most of the achievements don't really look all that difficult, but they will probably take a loooooong time to get.

No way. Don't you have to beat the game on Hardcore to get it? I do not want to do that. I like my RPGs to let me be overpowered and destroy my way through enemies, not to have to worry about water, and ammo weight. 

I'll go for S rank eventually, but not when the game fucks out with crash all the time. I'll need more updates to even care for it right now.

Can't even get a D-rank at the moment with achievements down. :(

Dunno if I'll try for it.  Between hardcore mode, a separation for guns / energy weapons / unarmed / meele / explosive, stims / food, and multiple endings, it seems designed for 3+ playthroughs to get through it all, or at least some serious save and skill planning.

Hardcore isn't that bad. It sounds way more intimidating than it is. Especially if you go with maxing out speech, sneak and energy weapons or guns. Companions dying was a pain in the ass but leaving them to wait at a safe house was the only decision for their survival sometimes.

Hardcore was super easy. I always had more food, ammo, and water than I needed. Also, I only needed to sleep maybe twice in a forty five hour play through. Not sure what's up with that. I also had around 80 stims towards the end. Sure stims take time to heal, but you just need to find some cover like in any third or first person shooter. 
 
On topic, I'm definitely going for an S rank, but it will probably take me months.

Maybe.

this game calls for me to s-rank and when the dlc comes out as well

I would be. It's too bad that Steam has mysteriously excluded me from all of this achievement fun...

I'm playing on PC and I'm definitely going for S-Rank, probably in three playthroughs. I should start pumping Energy Weapons, as I already got We Deal in Lead.

Caravan is just too monotonous for me to win thirty games.

I have never S-ranked a game. Doubt I will do this one. 

S rank is for me ! ... but if i learn how to play that bloody caravan game ! :P

I don't have the time for it right now, but over the long haul I might.  I almost S-Ranked Fallout 3 except for the Neutral Karma levels and the bobble heads.

" if you have a lot of stims... here is ez mode to get the achivement

Definitely my experience. I maxed out speech and guns early, and got repair to 90 for Jury Rigging + survival around 70. I find myself eating way more food than using Stimpaks this play around. "

I'm almost there. My first playthrough was on hardcore, I just got Desert Survivalist and then proceeded to get kicked out of the three casinos. The only thing that seems like a real drag is winning 30 games of Caravan...but I suppose I'll look up some strategies when the time comes. 
 
I'm in love with this game.

enjoy that S-rank temporarily guys. We all know that DLC is coming!

There are some time consuming achievements in there that i don't think i'll be getting anytime soon

I'm going for the S Rank. I have 35/50 achievements right now.

I had to noclip to get myself out from terrain, then missed a couple of quest achievements without noticing. I might go back on subsequent playthroughs to get them again but that kind of put me off.

" enjoy that S-rank temporarily guys. We all know that DLC is coming! "

If I'd known that hardcore mode was independent of the game difficulty, I would be going for a S-Rank.  But now it's too late and I doubt this is the type of game I'll be playing again anytime soon.

Man, I only s-ranked Fallout 3 a few months ago. Maybe I'll go for it in a year or so, when all of the DLC is out.

Getting 30 Caravan wins was really easy actually, I got all of my wins against Ringo too. He doesn't pose much of a threat. Maybe the other people you can play against do...I had like a 30/7 win ratio =) 
 
Only easy trophies left, almost there!

I got the Caravan Master Achievement, It was horrendous, took about 3 hours.

On PC:
Step 1: Open console
Step 2: Type cheat code
Step 3: ???????
Step 4: Die a little inside.
 
That's what i did for Fallout 3 before i sold it.... Regretted it.  Achievements didn't feel the same after that for a long time.

The only ones I see being a real pain are the ones for doing a certain amount of damage with different weapons and healing certain ways. The various story quest achievements can be done rather quickly. The main story in both Fallout 3 and New Vegas isn't terribly long if you just plow straight ahead. As for an S-Rank I seriously doubt I'm ever going to have the time to do every single ending. Just like I wasn't able to play Fallout 3 again after over a hundred hours running around D.C.

I have acquired a S rank in one walk through. Just be careful with the saves.

Still trying to get 100% in Dragon Age. I'll probably never get around to Fallout.
