So it took a while, but I finally got there after 130 total hours - the final one I unlocked being "No Gods, No Masters". Felt good, man. Though to be honest, none of them were particularly difficult, except for "Desert Survivalist", which was a right pain in the ass.

The most satisfying ones for me were "hardcoe" (for obvious reasons), "The Courier Who Broke the Bank" (due to the sheer amount of time I sank into it saving/reloading - wasn't easy doing it with only 3 Luck) and "No Gods, No Masters" (because that's just a really cool title).

So how about you? How long did it take? Which ones were the most satisfying? Or the most annoying? And did the final moment fill you with joy and pride, or a sense of hopelessness and despair at the thought of all those wasted hours of your life that you'll never get back?

Grats on hitting all the achievements. I'm going to move this to CHS, in case people get into details. Some folks like to be surprised when getting achievements. :)

I think I've got them all by now. And I was happiest with hardcoe. But in retrospect it wasn't that hard at all. I wish they made hardcoe more hardcoe next time over - and in general put more focus on manufacturing what you need rather than purchasing with caps. Minecraft style.

Nah I'm taking my time with it.
Gonna go achievement hunting once I feel like I've done most of what the game has to offer.

I get what you mean. I only entered "cleanup mode" after I'd already beaten the main quest twice - though I did save the Wild Card path, achievements and all, till the very very end, because I had a feeling it was going to be awesome and I wanted to save the best for last. And I was right.

There should be an achievement for No Fast Travel. I'd have that one.

Question is whether boating to Ceasar or being walked to Dead See automatically counts as fast travel.

Yeah, there's a couple of instances where the game 'teleports' you, but that was not by choice, so I say they don't count, since it was not at choice the player could control.
