Achievement system ideas (spoily)

[aerol]

With the upcoming achievement system, we should chip in with ideas. Some are found on this blog post.

Here's what I thought of so far:

1- Achievements for interesting deaths.
2- Achievements for side quests.
3- Achievements for challenge games.
4- Achievements for other odd things.
5- Achievements for anything of notice showing up on an .flg.

1- Anything more interesting than getting below 1 hp, bleeding to death, etcetera. Choking on your own vomit while paralyzed seems like a likely candidate. Certain things that might require a bit of additional programming (i.e. things not already present on your cause of death as shown on the highscore) could be added, like getting killed by a former companion.

2- Puppy quest, Kherab's quests, etcetera.

3- Lithium, Brass, Brimstone, Ironman, you name it.

4- Killing and eating the cute puppy comes to mind but a lot of interesting things could be cooked up here.

5- Self explanatory. Some are redundant with side quest achievements (Blup, puppy, AKW quest), some are not (getting the trader's guild to owe you money).

Lifetime achievements - ones that cannot be finished in a single game, but can be finished across multiple games. Things like, win with every race, kill 1,000,000 monsters, die 10000 deaths.

so let's call lifetime achievements 6, ok? Thought up some:

1. A good start - die by starting on monday with few hp
4. Monkey - get the 'you feel close to your ancestors' corruption 3 times as a monk
Yum! - eat a doppleganger king
Scholar - gain the literacy skill during a game
Crazy Chemist - Create an explosion by mixing two potions
Necromaster - finish the game with a necromancer with the 'natural enemy of the undead' intrinsic
Immortal - obtain all 4 immunities intrinsically (i.e. not by items) and the talent 'immune to pain'
Nerd - get a score of 1337 on the highscore list
5. Applied Alchemy - find a use for the potion of uselessness
6. Bookie monster (or if you like it more, ToME) - read all available tomes/books (excluding the weird tome; thanks Jellyslayer)
Cookie monster - get all the fortune cookie messages

Read the weird tome would actually be a good one on its own. It's possible with the right class/stats/skills.
