(Let's try this again, since my original reply seems to have been swallowed by a gremlin.)

That's a good question, one that I didn't think of.

Some of these are very much one-and-done achievements (Defenders of Eternity) but others are simple little gimmes (Juicy). It doesn't quite seem fair to give somebody 500 XP for each drink that they have at the Roost. Most game achievement awards are one time only things. That is, if you play the game a second time, you typically don't get awarded achievements more than once.

I had originally intended these to be statuses, but as the line between player and character is often rather fuzzy in Midian, my list of achievements became something else entirely. The focus became on the player, rather than the character per se.

That said, the matter is still very much open for discussion.
