Mass Effect Achievements

This isn’t exactly the freshest news out there, but the Paramour achievement (Complete any romance subplot - 10G) suddenly takes on a whole new life of its own due to certain leaked videos out there.

However, it’s one of the better Achievement lists out there, even though (or because) a lot of it is straightforward numerical advancement (kill X this, get to level X that). To get 1000 points, you will have to play the game more than once (Long Service Medal - Complete 2 Mass Effect Playthroughs on any setting - 25G) and play it as different types of characters (Renegade and Paragon achievements require you to be 75% in their respective personality, as explained before.) One actually makes you do a ton of gruntwork (Scholar - Find all primary Alien: Council Races, Extinct Races and Non-Council Races codex entries - 25G), and from what I understand, there’s tons and tons and tons of these to find.
