Question before I start the game

[Darunia]

I have taken a quick glance at all the achievements in this game and I was wondering: are there a lot of 'missable' ones that you can't get if you miss one thing in your first playthrough? I'm gonna try getting everything on the first go so that means that I'll have to watch out for:

- making sure I get every conversation with the Lucy girl
- pressing a button during cutscenes
- the Disciple of the Creed achievement in general. I've read that it glitches most of the time, so I'll watch out for that

anything else?

You have been wise to check first. Conversations and glitches are the two lots of people miss out on, but as I'm sure you are aware, Templars and flags also cause grief. Be thorough and be systematic. The method I would recommend you use is that when you enter a new area, do everything possible BEFORE the assassination. So my way was to enter a new city, then I would find all viewpoints, then save all citizens, then find all flags, and kill all templars. THEN I would do ALL missions, and finally the assassination.

I used the flag/templars guides found on this site, and aslong as I was systematic I did not have any troubles what so ever. The biggest problem I think people have is that they play through the game accidently getting flags and killing templars, then once they go back for them they find that they are missing one and dont know where it is.

All other gameplay related achievements (the Eagle achievements) will come by just playing the game so you shouldnt need to stress too much over them. Other than that, enjoy the game, this should ensure you get the fullest possible experience.

I completely avoided getting any flags or templar during my initial playthrough of the game. Once I finished it, I loaded up my last save and went back to systematically collect all the flags and templar in each city and out in the Kingdom. The advantage is that everything is unlocked, so you have the skills and access to get everything, but the downside is that the guards are kind of jumpy by then and can really give you a hard time. Other than one templar that I accidently killed in Acre during an assassination, it worked like a charm.
