Just to let people who've bumped into this post now - I have actually succeeded in getting my achievements to unlock! See this thread:

I have to agree with the disappointment! Even at an objective look, the weapon is terrible in itself. It only gets more disgustingly terrible with its backstory - there's a whole dungeon centered around it, the developer commentary itself says it's a "custom made weapon by your choices" and you sacrifice a piece of your own soul to empower this weapon. I was expecting something like Sarevok's special Deathbringer Assault, which has a chance to instantly deal 200 damage (effectively killing the enemy), or +4 to two or more attributes. You may think this sound too much, but I say it again - there's a whole Engwithan dungeon centered around a weapon that you're supposed to custom craft with your choices, that already bears the souls of several warriors from generations before and requires a piece of your own Awakened soul. I don't mind it being a spear, because with a powerful enough weapon, you can just throw 1000 copper pieces at your character and rebuild your character around the weapon. But what we get is something that is easily outdone even by early vendors, like the shipwrecked Amaua at Anslög's Compass! It's hard to say how disappointed I was without being repetitive and saying it over and over again.

Hello there! Do you still have the issue of achievements not unlocking? I'm asking because I have the very same issue, even though I play on a PC. Your post is dead, which could either mean (A) "I never solved the achievement issue but I stopped caring because I dropped out of the game" or (B) "oh, I got it fixed, I just didn't bother to come back here and post about it". I'm hoping it's (B), but I'm almost sure it's actually (A).

Hello, fellow Watchers! I have the exact same issue of achievements not unlocking. Actually, I'm not really sure whether I should post this here (because it's the same issue) or start a new post (because it's not really an "answer"). But I chose to post it here because I know how maddening it can be, both for the support team and for players with similar issues, to see the same issue repeated over thousands of topics scattered across thousands of forums, most of them lying empty because the answer probably was elsewhere... ANYWAY, the issue is as simple and complex as Pillars of Eternity's achievements not unlocking. It's not as simple as it looks because I already ruled out several possible causes: (1) I am playing on my PC, not on a console. I did read people complaining about their achievements not unlocking specifically on consoles (like here, for instance), but I play PoE only on the PC. (2) I've never opened the game from a shortcut on the desktop, so the solution presented here does not apply because I've always opened the game through the launcher (GOG, in my case). (3) On my first playthrough alone, I played more than 85 hours over the course of several days, so it's not an issue of requirements not met (I double checked and I'm eligible for several of them) or the client taking a bit more of time to syncronize or refresh the achievement list. (4) I've never activated the "iroll20s" command on the console. I did occasionally activate the console by accidentally pressing ', but I've never entered any commands on it. (5) I've added GOG's client and launcher to my antivirus' list of trusted exceptions. (6) Most complaints I read are about achievements not unlocking on Steam (here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/291650/discussions/0/2949168661149039691/), but my client is GOG and I have the issue anyway. (7) I opened a support ticket on GOG, which is still open, but I already received an e-mail "just to let me know" my ticket is currently being processed. I think this is quite ominous and means the answer will be "sorry bro, we're as clueless as you are". It reminded of Dilbert's fancy little cloud of doom... (8) I've tried a whole new playthrough just to see if it works, and it didn't. To quickly check this, I ran to Gilded Vale and hired an adventurer, but, nope, the Make an Adventurer achievement did not unlock. At first, I thought it was because the eligibility requirement was to recruit "from the Adventurer's Hall", but I checked that this is just a small inconsistency because the Adventurer's Hall was an early concept that got dropped during development; creating an adventurer from any Inn should unlock the achievement for anyone. Well, anyone but me. The only thing that gives me hope is that, in spite of having seen several people complaining about achievements not unlocking, most of the topics have died out years ago, which makes me believe that, yes there might be a solution of some kind. The exception is that poor fellow complaining I mentioned above, who complained about that as recently 2021, but I hope we'll both get solutions!
