 | Comment #1 by Forman Tuesday, August 28, 2012 @ 11:10:40 AM and thats how you strip your game from all the fun! |
 | Comment #2 by Spock Tuesday, August 28, 2012 @ 11:53:29 AM Only planned on using Blink, the rest looked stupid. |
 | Comment #3 by NewProfileKid Tuesday, August 28, 2012 @ 12:26:16 PM what a SOB |
 | Comment #4 by Pakhair Tuesday, August 28, 2012 @ 01:04:48 PM @1 totally Agree, the game will demand more then one playthrough. If you put something in game make people use it rather then stop them from having fun. For Inspiration see Borderlands 2 |
 | Comment #5 by SydLosttarot Tuesday, August 28, 2012 @ 01:17:13 PM Limitation fosters challenge. Also, there's 3 achievements off-hand that I know you'll need Possession for. Bend Time for others. Is there never a point in time you wouldn't want to try and play this without upgrading anything. I planned on doing this anyway and creating a save during each mission before and after in the hub. That way, I could simulate a NGP (New Game Plus) playthrough and upgrade whatever I feel like. Go wild. I haven't even touched it and I'm thinking of multiple ways to play. Don't be discouraged. |
| Comment #6 by BeheldBryan Tuesday, August 28, 2012 @ 05:05:52 PM Honestly, from the gameplay I've seen all you really need is blink. |
 | Comment #7 by Stotan Tuesday, August 28, 2012 @ 10:43:55 PM How is that not fun? God forbid you have to play a game through more than once! It sounds like a challenge, although there is no difficulty requirement so I assume you could blaze through it all on easy if you wanted. I can't wait to give this a shot on a 2nd or 3rd playthrough. |
 | Comment #8 by WaahhJedi Thursday, August 30, 2012 @ 02:11:30 AM I personally like achievements that persuade you to play through in a more limited way, presumably after you've already beaten it once or twice. |
 | Comment #9 by marzwoody Wednesday, September 05, 2012 @ 01:45:59 PM #1 Are you one of those people that buys a game wanting to get all the achievements in one playthrough and move on? i don't normally say this but you f#%king Noob. ever thought of playing a game over and getting this achievement as a challenge? that's the definition of fun you idiot. |
 | Comment #10 by BIG L RETURNS Sunday, September 23, 2012 @ 01:31:13 AM I thought the point of achievements was, just that, an achievement. This will be a challenge in certain points in the game i'm sure. I can't wait to tackle this one. Did someone mention Borderlands? In case you don't remember, Borderlands DLC had the shittiest achievement list ever. Literally no challenge, just the same thing OVER and OVER. |
 | Comment #11 by UbisoftUntouchable Wednesday, September 26, 2012 @ 11:12:19 PM i totally agree that this is going to be a challenge but a fun one at that can't wait to try it. |
 | Comment #12 by HalfEVILmonkey Thursday, September 27, 2012 @ 06:03:48 AM #9 = d-bag |
 | Comment #13 by ImaginaryRuins Sunday, September 30, 2012 @ 07:38:43 AM I've played Thief series years ago and while I went for the hardest difficulty I tried not even alerting anyone at all (0 times caught), throughout an entire playthrough, so this achievement doesn't sound bad at all, and it sounds really challenging and fun. The sense of accomplishment is also much higher this way. For those who want to 'Ramble' through every obstacle blasting everyone away, I'd say they might want to go away and go back to their favourite good old shooter games. |
 | Comment #14 by SweetnSaxyBoy Friday, October 05, 2012 @ 07:33:39 AM Not sure we need all the name calling in here but I agree achievements are just that, achieving things that are challenging and that ultimately extend the play-ability of most games, I much rather prefer to have achievements that require skill and multiple play-thoughts over impossible MP ones that everyone just boosts anyway and may become unobtainable later on, but MP achievements are another story... |
 | Comment #15 by PerroSato Tuesday, October 09, 2012 @ 08:28:14 PM does this mean i can buy upgrades for mask and weapons and bullets? cause i need the sleeping darts to do the no kill campaign |
 | Comment #16 by Soulreaper 1337 Wednesday, October 10, 2012 @ 10:09:40 AM i bought most of the weapon upgrades and had no problem getting this |
 | Comment #17 by Elctrchead Wednesday, October 10, 2012 @ 12:07:00 PM Can you at least upgrade blink? I use it all the time & the upgraded version is pretty handy. |
 | Comment #18 by HungryMonkey Thursday, October 11, 2012 @ 12:32:03 AM Are there ways to spend money or whatever the currency used to get powers on anything else, I mean other than supernatural powers? |
 | Comment #19 by El Grunto 14 Thursday, October 11, 2012 @ 12:48:14 AM You can still upgrade all of your gear. However, I do not know if upgrading Blink to level 2 will disable this achievement. |
| Comment #20 by captnWOOPYpants Thursday, October 11, 2012 @ 06:28:17 AM Do NOT upgrade blink as it will disable the achievement, found this out the hard way. |
 | Comment #21 by WolfofRedRoses Thursday, October 11, 2012 @ 08:25:25 AM this might sound like a stupid question but do the bone runes count |
| Comment #22 by El Grunto 14 Thursday, October 11, 2012 @ 02:27:11 PM I also did a quick run of the campaign with my only power as Blink II. I did NOT get the achievement. Do NOT upgrade Blink. |
 | Comment #23 by RCone138 Thursday, October 11, 2012 @ 09:49:48 PM wow upgraded blink to lvl 2. so cheap that i'll have to run through this all over again. it says you can purchase blink, you'd think they'd clarify that we can't upgraded it |
 | Comment #24 by Maxzimus Friday, October 12, 2012 @ 03:00:33 AM I just completed this achievement and below is the stuff that I made sure not to upgrade or equip. I did not upgrade Blink to Blink 2, upgrade any other powers, no weapon or gear upgrades and I did not use any bone charms. |
| Comment #25 by HungryMonkey Friday, October 12, 2012 @ 07:25:38 AM Yea, number 9' if even he were a noob, don't be one of those bullies who insult people over a question. From all I know maybe he wants exactly that, play the game once and never touch again. But being a jerk about it is no good. |
 | Comment #26 by Spartan Ace Friday, October 12, 2012 @ 09:13:38 AM Less bitchin' and more doing. For the real challenge put it on v.hard and go for this and no kill chieve on 1st runthrough. Anything less is soft. @1, the whole point of chieve's is to be able to say "i did this despite difficulty". Easy chieve's are pointless and boring for those that want the easy ride in life...!!! |
 | Comment #27 by UsedxAndxAbused Friday, October 12, 2012 @ 03:29:07 PM @4 u r obviously retarded look at borderlands 2 for inspiration that game is the biggest pile of crap compared to #1 and this game the last thing any company needs to do is get inspiration from that garbage. |
 | Comment #28 by Haziord Saturday, October 13, 2012 @ 12:19:17 PM So glad you guys warned me about Blink. |
 | Comment #29 by PremiereLemon Saturday, October 13, 2012 @ 02:51:14 PM So what about things that aren't related to supernatural powers? The upgrades you can pay for like, capacity upgrades or the footstep sound upgrade? |
 | Comment #30 by Stough89 Saturday, October 13, 2012 @ 06:52:37 PM You can upgrade your weapons/gadgets and still get the achievement, its directed towards the supernatural powers, Hence the cheevo icon |
 | Comment #31 by 80lbGorilla Sunday, October 14, 2012 @ 11:43:35 AM @21 It clearly states that you must not PURCHASE any supernatural powers or enhancements, so I would think that freely found bone charms wouldn't count as a purchased or upgraded "superpower", but it also "clearly" stated "besides Blink" which we now know is totally wrong. So I dont know I much I would trust a bone charm. |
 | Comment #32 by Roe Parc Ranger Sunday, October 14, 2012 @ 06:05:40 PM Do not purchase level two of blink, infact best to just save this for your high chaos play through and kill everyone! |
 | Comment #33 by KillroytheMad Sunday, October 14, 2012 @ 11:38:00 PM @27 have you even played the borderlands games? Borderlands was a great game but was lacking in a few areas, borderlands 2 took everything good about 1 and made it better and gave it a good and interesting story. I understand you are a human and are entitled to your opinion but please get a new one. |
| Comment #34 by koobz2142 Monday, October 15, 2012 @ 12:34:30 AM Stop being cunts to eachother! To each his own, no? @everybody talking shit about #1: He never said difficulty wasn't fun, and he never said that multiple playthroughs suck. All he said was that getting rid of the powers makes the game unfun for him. What this should tell you is that he enjoys the POWERS in this game more than anything else, so a nopower playthrough wouldnt be DIFFICULT, but it would be BORING :P |
 | Comment #35 by StumpyDan360 Monday, October 15, 2012 @ 02:19:37 AM i got the achievement using charms for anyone curious.. but dont buy anything. i think u can use weapon upgrades though |
 | Comment #36 by Chrometatertot Monday, October 15, 2012 @ 02:44:33 PM Question: Can you buy level 2 for blink? Or does that break the seal/void your warranty? |
| Comment #37 by Chrometatertot Monday, October 15, 2012 @ 02:45:55 PM Ah. Found it. NVM |
 | Comment #38 by HolyWarr27 Wednesday, October 17, 2012 @ 02:34:27 AM Just Confirmed - You can buy the weapon and equipment upgrades from Piero. The only upgrades that you cannot buy are the POWERS, the ones you buy with runes. Blink 1 is given to you thats why it says "besides Blink" Purchasing Blink 2 will prevent the achievement from unlocking. Hope that helps |
 | Comment #39 by DJFrost16 Thursday, October 18, 2012 @ 05:57:17 AM Is it possible to do this and the achievement killing no one at the same time? |

 | Comment #41 by Globku Friday, October 19, 2012 @ 09:16:14 PM All of the achievements in one video, in case you need help with any of them: http://youtu.be/kEI-xDBMLMU |
 | Comment #42 by avogt16 Sunday, October 21, 2012 @ 09:17:41 PM Can I get weapon upgrades? |
 | Comment #43 by DOM1N8ORR Sunday, October 21, 2012 @ 11:04:52 PM How upset I was when this achievement didn't pop. Make sure you don't upgrade Blink. |
| Comment #44 by JDblade318 Monday, October 22, 2012 @ 10:18:03 PM ^^thank you, i would have bought that upgrade if i hadn't of checked here first |
 | Comment #45 by GuitarHobo1992 Sunday, October 28, 2012 @ 02:50:04 AM Totally with #32 high chaos killer |
 | Comment #46 by TREX1979 Tuesday, October 30, 2012 @ 09:28:09 AM Hey anybody know if accepting the heart from the outsider will affect this achievement???? |
| Comment #47 by TREX1979 Tuesday, October 30, 2012 @ 11:24:48 AM & what about bone charms & relics?? R we allowed to even pick them up or will doing that affect this achievement??? Any advice would be appreciated - thanks in advance - TREX1979 |
| Comment #48 by TREX1979 Tuesday, October 30, 2012 @ 01:29:03 PM SHIT I think I fcuked up -- it states no enhancements -- does that include any weapon upgrades & lens magnification??????? |
 | Comment #49 by Fridgeater Tuesday, October 30, 2012 @ 08:17:57 PM I'm pretty sure its only things that require spending runes or equipping bone charms (although I'm not 100% certain on the bone charms). I'm on that play through too so if I do it first I'll let you know. |
 | Comment #50 by samturner1990 Wednesday, October 31, 2012 @ 11:40:50 PM you can use bone charms for this and you can upgrade you're weapons, you just can't up grade any power's includeing blink. it say's 'beside's blink' because you are given the first blink power for free. its best to upgrade weapons as best and as frequently as possible to kill enemie's as you can't freeze time or possess anyone. |
 | Comment #51 by virus0159 Monday, November 05, 2012 @ 07:38:46 PM okay since i'm playing this on hard and trying to go for all the runes and bone charms, no killing and undetected in 1 play through and the rest in the 2nd or 3rd and i need all the help i can get. can someone give a straight answer about the bone charms i haven't used any yet but i still would like to know if i can use them |
 | Comment #52 by Jollybeard99 Monday, November 12, 2012 @ 02:37:42 PM i am so sick of this game. i've beaten it at least 5 times and still don't have all the achievements. i just played through all the way trying to collect all the sokolov paintings and without upgrading my powers and i wasn't able to do either because the pathway to the granny rags/slackjaw show down was closed and then I beat the game only to find out that upgrading my blink power negates getting this achievement. i feel so fucking cheated. now i have to play through this game 2 more fucking times and hope that it doesn't fuck me out of this achievement again because you don't know if you get it until you play though the entire fucking game. i guess the only plus side is you can beat the game in one sitting if you know whats going on, however i'm fucking sick and tired of playing through t |
 | Comment #53 by Kirkhayden Saturday, November 17, 2012 @ 06:35:05 PM Dont upgrade blink to level 2 either or u dont get this achievement |
 | Comment #54 by Aeterna Hope Sunday, November 25, 2012 @ 02:08:20 AM If the game had replay value i wouldnt mind stuff like this so much :/ |
 | Comment #55 by II BOMBSCARE II Wednesday, November 28, 2012 @ 05:29:13 AM jsut done this and stacked a bunch of achievements, shadow,clean hands, ghost and this, you cannot buy anything with runes, but weapon and equipment upgrades you can buy, you can also use bone charms |
 | Comment #56 by Path to Decay Saturday, December 01, 2012 @ 12:22:37 AM God dammit. Well I got screwed on the don't upgade blink to level 2. Oh well. This game is awesome so I'm fine with 2 more play throughs. |
 | Comment #57 by Lyco Thursday, December 06, 2012 @ 06:06:16 PM I don't know how I'll manage without Demon Vision or whatever it's called. I have that activated pretty much constantly. |
| Comment #58 by TREX1979 Saturday, December 15, 2012 @ 04:44:49 PM What about picking up bone charms - I'm doing the non lethal way and when I chock out Daud he has a bone charm on him -- is it ok to pick up or will picking up a bone charm VOID this achievement???? Thanks in advance |
| Comment #59 by TREX1979 Saturday, December 15, 2012 @ 04:47:57 PM What about boot upgrade??? Does that count as an upgrade??? Fcukmi thought this was only supernatural I missed the upgrade part can someone please confirm??? |
| Comment #60 by TREX1979 Sunday, December 16, 2012 @ 02:25:50 PM Woo Hoo the Boot upgrade does not matter I just got this achievementb+ Clean Hands + Shadow + Ghost on my 1st play through man it was a challenge trying to get all those on 1st playthrough NOW it's time to sup up and kill kill kill ah HAHAHAAA |
 | Comment #61 by xxalfonzxx Friday, December 21, 2012 @ 01:50:11 PM "don't purchase enhancements or powers besides blink", blink is given to you blink 2 is PURCHASED. bone charms are NOT purchased so they obviously aren't going to mess it up. runes are used to PURCHASE items so spending runes = bad Don't PURCHASE any of the following: Enhancements: 1. Vitality 2. Blood Thirsty 3. Agility 4. Shadow Kill Powers are: 1. Dark Vision 2. Blink - level 1 is FREE level 2 is PURCHASED (level 2 blink = bad) 3. Rat Swarm 4. Bend Time 5. Wind Blast 6. Possession |
| Comment #62 by xxalfonzxx Friday, December 21, 2012 @ 01:52:47 PM if it's not on the above list, it's ok ;) |
 | Comment #63 by Jenrai Saturday, December 22, 2012 @ 05:55:12 PM My god you guys have your knickers in a twist over this one. 1 - Easy way = Make the achievement description "Complete the game without spending any runes." 2 - Borderlands and Borderlands 2 fucking rock. Don't like it, go back to COD. At least BL and BL2 offer something different. 3 - This game is brilliant. Bethesda at their best again. Anyone who thinks this isn't worth more than one playthrough, especially given how fast the campaign can be completed, is nuts as a monkey. Merry Xmas! |
| Comment #64 by Elmoeod15 Saturday, January 05, 2013 @ 09:03:49 PM I did this one while trying to also do ghost and clean hands. |
 | Comment #65 by zavok Tuesday, January 08, 2013 @ 03:38:18 AM I found this best to do on the first playthrough with doing high chaos, going for the second playthough now and planning on getting clean hands and also ghost and shadow and low chaos, then will get two play for the third time to mop up the rest |
 | Comment #66 by OnlyConway Saturday, January 19, 2013 @ 04:50:02 AM Laughing at the same question being posted multiple times. People really need to read all the comments before they post... |
 | Comment #67 by Rainb0wSprinklz Tuesday, January 22, 2013 @ 05:26:56 PM I basically did a speed run to get this. It is actually fairly easy to get if you are patient and know the game very well. I constantly would lean to the side to check if enemies were near and I ran through most of it, ignoring coins and most enemies. I even managed to get the low chaos ending. |
 | Comment #68 by XxIcedaddyxX Tuesday, February 26, 2013 @ 07:35:47 PM Easy, don't ever level ANYTHING up. |
 | Comment #69 by DarkFireReaper Saturday, March 30, 2013 @ 01:59:50 PM I loved this game, but I feel like this achievement alone lowered the quality of the game. When you are not using all of the awesome stuff in the game to get an achievement, why put that awesome stuff in? I realize you don't have to go for it, but why put it in there unless some people will go for it! |
 | Comment #70 by emilforsberg Tuesday, April 16, 2013 @ 02:09:35 AM I agree |
 | Comment #71 by nicklit Tuesday, April 23, 2013 @ 11:57:11 PM Loved this one. Did it with low chaos, clean hands, no alerts. Very fun being a sneaky bastard ;) |
