I have no idea if I’ll ever be able to fix this now.Īnd the strangest thing is… even though I’m having fun, and loving replaying these games… it’s seriously dampened my desire to continue digging deep into the ME Trilogy again. For me, Paramour 3 has triggered, but Paramour 2 did not - leaving me in a sort of purgatory where I have an achievement for getting 3 romantic scenes, but not for getting 2.
For many players, Paramour 2 simply isn’t popping at all - be that in ME2 if they choose to cheat or in ME3 if they return to a past romantic interest that’s available once again. This stuff is bad design - but it’s glitched on top of that. That's a shame, and exactly the sort of thing I wanted the trilogy remaster to acknowledge. So too is staying loyal to Thane to the bitter end. The act of staying loyal to Liara in ME2 and then returning to her in 3 is incompatible with these achievements. To get all three in one trilogy run, you’ll have to cheat on an established partner. This suggests that you might be able to carry a romance through all three games - but this isn’t actually possible, as the relationships you can ‘rekindle’ in certain games - like Liara in ME2’s Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC, or Thane in ME3 - don’t actually count towards the achievement. These are strangely worded, asking you to “Establish or rekindle a romantic relationship in two games in Mass Effect Legendary Edition”. Mass Effect 1 & 2 aren’t nearly as finessed as the third in terms of combat - and so suffering through Insanity in ME2 only to not get the achievement is true pain.įor me, the glitch reared its head with the Paramour romance achievements. They appear to happen at relative random. The glitches seem to be worse on Xbox than PlayStation, but sometimes present on both.
These are rewarded for completing the Mass Effect games on the hardest difficulty, and also for being involved in a character romance in each of the three games. Taking a look at reddit, twitter, and various other communities, the offending achievements seem to primarily be the Insanity 1, 2 and 3 achievements and the paired Paramour 1, 2 and 3 achievements. But it now might not be possible - because BioWare’s implementation of certain achievements appears to be, well, busted. Because I love the Mass Effect Trilogy, I’d planned to pick up 100% of them in Mass Effect Legendary Edition, too - just as I did in the original three games.
I’m currently working on the same in Perfect Dark, Nier Automata, and Sonic Mania. I made a point of picking up every achievement in Final Fantasy 7 and 8, for instance. It’s become a point of pride this game is significant to me, so I’ll 100% its achievements. These days, my ‘cheevo hunting’ is limited strictly to games I love.

However, the arrival of the Xbox Series X and S has meant I’ve been playing more Xbox… and that has led me to occasionally care about achievements again. By the time we hit Xbox One, I no longer really cared. The sheen of the achievement system felt to wear off as we got towards the end of the 360 generation. I rented it - back when renting games was a thing.Īnyway, I don’t really do that any more. I’m pretty sure I even have that infamous Avatar game that shamefully lets you get all 1000 points in about 5 minutes on my account. Sometimes, I’d seek out totally crap games with the sole aim of picking up their achievements. I would regularly pick up 1000 Gamerscore in games I only liked a little bit - I was an achievement completionist.
