If you're playing New Vegas just for the achievements, you're doing it wrong.

The clerk thought you were under 25, take it as a complimentIt sounds like you're quoting the signs they have in liquor stores here.I was asked for my ID today while buying some cooking wineHow alcoholic is it?
Yep. So far, the list of people who submitted orders is... Culise.
Might've accidentally sent them to yourself, Kashyyk. I've done that more times than I really should admit...I did submit some orders right?Not to me, at least.
Also pleased I called it D1.Yes, but you also called me, with the same certainty... *pbbbt*
(The thievery, and thus Hector's change in motive on D2, probably confused me most. And I've already explained several other bits where I know I was sent off-track, by my own faults.)
I'm broke. I want to buy a game real bad because two of my best friends are buying it-The game is Helldivers-And I'd love to join them. I checked my wallet and it's empty save for my lunch money which I'll need so I can EAT.
Ffuaaack.
They often seem to just add grinding and boredom into otherwise fine games. I'd hate them if it wasn't so easy to just ignore their existence. Just looking at Shadow of Mordor, you get achievements for doing all rescue missions (the ones that get old halfway through or earlier), same for survival missions (except those got old in ten minutes). Even something as cool as "execute a burning berserker" fails to attract since I've already burned and executed and executed burning orcs a ton. There's nothing inherently special about executing a burning a berserker specifically, and I'm not going to grind one to tick an imaginary box.
Achievements are right up there with Busywork Simulator 201X. Clearly there's a market for them, even if I completely fail to see the attraction.
