One of my favourite thing about playing Valve's games on Steam (HL2, ep1, ep2, Portal) is that achievements you can tot up. It brings me back to old games like HL2 time and time again trying to get 100%. It adds unbelievable replay value.
by the way. I wish it was Valve picking up the mantle for T4.
So just for fun. What would be some cool Achievements?
the obvious ones are ghost the whole game, all loot, kill everyone.

The best achievement I can think of is the one developers and Microsoft will be fighting against as hard as they can until release: find a way to leave the intended game space or breaking a scripted event and still complete the mission.

Achievement whores burn in hell.

If bad ideas were 'Achievements', you'd have one less to get now.

Achievement unlocked: 'Awkward!'

'Compromising situations' would be a nice bonus stat, like airborne knockouts.

not the most popular idea ever then.

Grab his rosary, candle, prayer book and the hammer mold and then get away. :ebil:

I don't see why not, Thief 4 will definitely be released on the xbox and almost definitely have achievements so we might as well come up with some good ones :cheeky:
I agree with R Soul, airborne knockout would be a good one, and maybe hidden secret achievements like the Truart secret where
you bury his corpse~D

If you want to talk about ghosting, KO everybody, get all loot, crate stacking... then Thief players have been doing it from the beginning. We didn't need in-game popups to let us do it then, we won't need it for people to keep doing it for T4. But if you want to know what good ones would be, then it would be the ones you find in this forum; things people do on their own.
But personally speaking, I liked it when it was our own thing as fans and the game itself was agnostic, makes it seem like this cool underground thing we have going that's special ... rather than another feature like every other game in the universe. Just IMO. But I recognize a lot of people do like when the game plays along with achievements, and that it's even likely for T4.

These could be interesting; it's like bonus objectives. The one I remember was the romantic one in Rowena's Curse. These kinds of things reward you for paying attention to the story and noticing the opportunity.
