More challenge-related Steam achievements
Surprisingly, many good ones are still missing!
Challenges are fun and can suggest new and interesting ways of playing the game. So far, aside from the separate challenge categories like *** Man, we have achievements for self-inflicted challenges like not using herbs and not using magic throughout the game. But those aren't the only powerful things one can decisively and systematically avoid. Why not include more of those as well to recognize players who truly enjoy challenging themselves?
1. Atheist: Win the game without increasing nor using piety. Using a holy symbol to turn undead would be allowed since its effects on the undead has nothing to do with the user's faith.
2. Off the bottle: Win without drinking any potion nor using Alchemy. (T)hrowing and (u)sing would still be allowed when applicable. Not sure about dipping, since it's what makes holy water so good, but having no access to potions of ultra healing, gain attributes, and cure corruption can be quite challenging by itself. Debatable.
3. Truly illiterate: Win the game without ever having Literacy skill. Pretty self-explanatory.
4. Wand hater: Win the game without zapping any wands. Also self-explanatory.
5. True Strength: Win the game as a Paragon of Order. Honestly surprised it's rewarded by an artifact and a huge score boost but not made into an achievement yet.
6. Masochist: Win a personalized game at a >200% highscore rate.
7. Try the other mode: Create a personalized game at a <5% highscore rate. A joke achievement to egg on players who go all out with the easy settings instead of using the actual Easy mode.
