I just complete the game on story mode just for achievement and I didn't get it. Probably a bug.

    I haven't been able to get through a game without it automatically switching to Easy mode.

    Did you start the game with Story Mode or switched the difficulty midgame?

    I started a game with story mode.

    BTW in my opinion if you complete game on higher dificulty you should also get "Friend of Volo". In other games it works that way. In PoE if I complete on normal I also recive easy and very easy achivement for example.

    I'm getting Story Mode turning off everytime I load a save.

    Also I think just having this achievement for playing the "next to no actual gameplay" difficulty is dumb. Include an avhievement for completing the game on like, Normal or higher instead.

    really this sort of achievement should be given to you if you play on easy not story mode. yes there is a difference.

    It should be given for completing the game on any difficulty. If you can do it on eg. insane you definitely can do it on story mode too.

    I understand that you guys would prefer to unlock the achievement through finishing the game on a higher difficulty, on the other hand story mode is a new mode and the title clearly emphasises the idea of stories (hence Volo's name).

    I think the achievement would be fine in its current form (if it were not for the bugs).

    That doesn't really make any sense. If anything the higher difficulties have more stories because you get more eventful fights, and obviously all the quests, etc. are still there.

    As you correctly wrote, you get "more eventful fights", whereas in the story mode you only get that: story. You can basically ignore all the other aspects of the game such as item collecting, gathering experience, minmaxing stats etc., because it's virtually impossible to not win a fight. Thus, all that remains is the story.

    Heads up: you can reload your last save before the final fight and finish the game repeatedly with various party and difficulty setups to get all the ending-related achievements in a single playthrough.

    (The only one that didn't work for me was Flying Solo, which I only got after I actually went through and finished the game without getting any companions.)

    How did you behave towards Imoen after Candlekeep while going solo, @Adul?

    @bengoshi I ran away before she got a chance to speak with me, just to be on the safe side.
