I just got this game and I really like it. My problem is with the achievements... they're all so... achieavable.

Essentially, without cheating (kind of, just knowing how many secrets there are per level and/or treasures without knowing their locations) one could possibly complete all achievements in one playthrough (you should probably have a hand to hand character though).

My only problem with this is... I don't want to do an "old school run". Not having a map just annoys me.

Also, I'm at stage/level 3. So I would have to start over and lose an hour and a half of playtime. Its not that much but it's still annoying.

I love achievements though and I'm going to be annoyed when I finish the game in its current state and see that I only have the one missing. I'm guessing by playing, I will naturally accumulate the other achievements. Right?

So I'm looking for people who have done the achievements and wanted your input.

Hmm... I have not done every achievement. Don't really like Achievements, cause usually they so meaningless in most games, or spoil things for you. For example the one telling you you found every secret in the game... Makes replaying bad cause now you know where everything is, so the game become a boring 2-5 hour game of hacking away at enemies with different character builds only.

Anyways. Like I said, I don't know all of the achievements. But I am pretty sure you can do them all in one playthrough, since your able to backtrack to every floor. So you can always go back and looking for secrets. And when you kill all creatures, I think there are only 3-4 'rooms' Where monsters constantly respawn. So everywhere else will be clear and peaceful to keep looking.

There was an achievement to clear level 1 within a certain amount of time. If you didn't make that, you cannot achieve it without starting all over again.

There is 1 achievement that must be completed around halfway the game to advance. Naturally, a lot of other achievements would be pretty hard to avoid, but still possible.
