Developer ImDaMisterL Posted February 18, 2017 Developer Share Posted February 18, 2017 Klei didn't ad achievements because they want the game to feel lonely and the players to have no sense of direction in the wilderness. They only added achievements for the console because they were forced to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKingDedede Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 No, I don't want achievements. How would they even improve the game? I think they'd be meaningless, anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same reason they removed quests(or at least that's what that "fast facts" video said). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starthefox Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Honestly, what would it add really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsieurO Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 You have to think of your own achievements and aim for them. If you were actually lost on a deserted island, there would be noone to give you sweets when you manage to start a fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imsomony Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Klei tested out achievements/quests in the original prototype of the game, and then purposely removed them as it didn't fit with their goals for the playstyle of the game. Give this article (by Jamie, Klei founder and CEO) a read to see why. Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Rewards.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirridok Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 So I was searching info about this and now I know they didn't want to add achievements because we were going to get them all and then stop playing, but then I found this comment, it makes a lot of sense to me, read it please. That article doesn't make sense. He's argued "once they reached the goal, if we didn’t write another goal, they would stop playing." Yet, they put in an XP LEVEL UP SYSTEM, with UNLOCKABLE CHARACTERS?! That defeated the entire POINT of his argument. I completely understand where he's coming from with Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic achievements. Nothing good comes out of Extinsic achievements (especially really hard farfetched ones that you have to go out of your way to get). But nothing is wrong with adding steam achievements in the game for things that are ALREADY goals in the game. Achievement for unlocking Willow, or Wendy, or Wes? Reaching level 5? That doesn't seem that extrinsic of a goal to me. I really hope the developers rethink their stance on this. Being honest, he is right, I stopped playing DS after unlocking everyone, and then I moved on to DST.... can the devs reconsider this?? *ALSO, sorry for this necro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought of those really as achievements, as you didn't have to survive a set of nights. As long as you survived a second, you already got an XP point. It was more of a way to keep you curious as to what more the game had to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lampofulmine Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Think about it. Man vs. (strange) Nature, is that not what is it all about ? I mean, achievements would absolutely not make sense for a game like this. You say so you'll bring more hype to the game but... were you not super hyped the first time you killed a fricking deerclop ? Managed to go down in the caves and come back again with little health ? Discovered a pig village ? All these are just examples of personal achievements that makes you feel better as you play the game, the more you play , the more you find !!! Could there be a better reward ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could of sworn I already replied to this (wait is this a different thread?) as @ImDaMisterL pointed out The XP sestem didn't really mean anything. I could just keep chucking dead bodies at the screen and I would eventually get most characters, With the expection, of Maxwell and Wes, And Woodlegs,Wlibur,and Webber being Fetch me quests. Maxwell Wes and Woodlegs are the only characters I would count as being actual achievements in getting. This is also not the game for it as when they were added for the PS4 they are very simple and genric achivemts and besides from maybe two your bound to complete them anyway without even trying so what is the point. This game works much better as setting your own personal achivements. plus the trophy rant from an ealier thread has left a sour taste in my mouth. The only thing I could want is maybe the shine trophy thing because I just really like the look of that item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
