an idea for a new achievement[Abe's attitude]...

@Grey Acumen

So far, I’ve only been unable to save the scientists that keep getting eaten by the vents (bodycount = +4) and teh scientist that falls from the ladder in the elevator shaft (bodycount = +1) There’s also the scientist that kills the headcrab at the beginning of the game before getting attacked by another, but I SHOULD be able to save him, since it is possible to grab a flare, and toss it at the headcrab before it attacks him, but the headcrab just doesn’t register the hit, so (bodycount = +1)

This post gave me an idea for a new achievement:

Abe’s attitude

Bring n scientists(or barneys) from point A to B

n: number of npc you have to escort.

title: a reference to Abe’s oddysee/exoddus

I haven’t figure out yet which part of BM would fit…

I was thinking at Office complex chapter…

What do you think?
have you a better title for the ach.?
have you an idea where place it?

I Hope they’re gonna add this to Steam release…

Personally, I was leaning more towards “For SCIENCE!” and just letting it be activated by them NOT being dead at the end of the chapter. There could even be one for each chapter of the game that has any scientists.

I don’t really like the escort mission side of things. Besides, a lot of the scientists that are supposed to die end up standing around and wont even follow you after you save their butts

[Ronster]

not a bad idea for an achievement… It would have been good to have more purpose to keeping scientisi and Security guards alive for a reason other than an achievement…

To create a special piece of dialog somthing to happen and get an achievement for it would be better

I don’t really like the escort mission side of things.

This ach. is not releted to rpg escort mission:
in abe’s games an importan part of gameplay is saving friendly npc.

@Ronster

To create a special piece of dialog somthing to happen and get an achievement for it would be better

I doubt that devs will do it…
Maybe they can use some existing dialog…

I was thinking at something easier to develop:

here is some ideas

Abe’s attitude

1. Bring n scientists(or barneys) to the end of a map

or

2. Gather a group of n npc
   [NO CHEATS!]

or

3. Escort n npc to a vending machine
   (vending machine= birds portals in abe’s games…lol!)

[Ronster]

The scientist in unforseen consequences would be a good one for an achievement

aswell as the science team in questionable ethics

TheOmitted escourt mission with the security guard from surface tension would also be a good opportunity for an escourt achievement

counterstrike was thought up from the escourt parts of half life

[elivance]

The scientist in unforseen consequences would be a good one for an achievement

let me think…
Best chapters for the ach:

1-Office Complex
2-Questionable ethics
3-unforseen consequences
4-surface tension

/off-topic

This post has been moved from the cafeteria: why?
It has started as an idea for devs…

[Ronster]

Yes office complex would also be a great place for escort achievements…

And also not to mention achievements for saving npc scientists and security guards that can be killed in scripted events some of these mpc’s are saveable

[Smythe]

Do it for Questionable ethics, get all 3 scientists out alive at the end.

Unless that’s just what happens anyway…
