Official Fable 2 achievements now with added 'see and unlock'!

by Dustin Burg { Sep 20th 2008 at 11:00AM }

The official list of Fable 2 achievements has just trickled its way online and if you think you're experiencing some déjà vu, you're somewhat correct.

See, back in August we posted a list of "unofficial" Fable 2 achievements that leaked their way online. Now these new achievements, they're official with official artwork AND we noticed a few differences. Don't worry though, from what we can tell no actual achievements have been added or removed since the August leak. Instead, a few descriptions have changed including our favorite of the bunch, "The Swingers", which now reads "take part in a debauched bedroom party with several participants." Nice!

The other major difference between the unofficial and official Fable 2 achievements is the added ability to unlock some achievements not by doing the action, but rather seeing someone else perform the act. Meaning that Gamerscore can be earned simply by watching a friend ("Hero") complete the task. Think of it as an achievement tag team effort.

I guess most of it you get it by just watching people, nice

You know, it sounds kind of lame on paper (text) but I have a feeling that there will be some gamers, myself included, who wouldn't mind the whole "Watch and earn" approach to these achievements. Provided that you could be there at that instant when your friend marries a second wife or when their bastard love child is born. Seeing as how I plan on playing the game as if it were me making the choices, I doubt I'd earn some of the more selfish or morally wrong ones. But part of me would still feel guilty about not actually earning them. The moral delimma begins already! Ok, personal issues aside, I'm glad Lionhead designed some of the achievments to include an "unlock by watching the event take place" option. For those who would rather train their pooch then leap off a 500 ft. cliff could still hopefully find a friend who is more daring and gain a little something for watching them go splat sounds like good game design to me. For all those who are nay sayers and want to earn on their own achievements are still allowed to do so by simply leaving before the event.

My friend will enjoy this...he wants a higher gamerscore (so he appears less "noob-like"...his words), but he's not an achievement whore. And me? I'm a recovering one...I'll go for achievements if they're fun and easy now (no more grinding). I'm a completionist.
