Ever played a gamebook (choose your own adventure) game?
Well, much of the time I was watching playoff baseball or American football while I was working on mapping out the game...so the playtime figures are inflated. On the other hand, as you say, it doesn't account for the time spent actually writing the guide when I didn't have/need the game on, because I'd already developed the complete map.
Thank you for the free and first bump! :D

I used to play the hell out of this kind of games in my childhood. Specially the lone wolf saga :)

There is nothing that I hate more in guides when they just shove a bunch of text together in long-winded paragraphs that you have to read twice before you even know what to do. I haven't read the whole thing since I do not own the game, but your seems the total opposite of that - really nicely broken down and very readable. Awesome job on it!
I would only add one thing to it (which is very much personal preference, but can be handy when looking at the guide when just needing an achievement or 2) - achievement icons next to achievements names themselves. While yours is alphabetically organized I find it easier to spot the right one by image while scrolling down a guide, but that might be just me.

Thank you for the kind words-- and I like your suggestion! =)

So....I looked into your suggestion a few weeks ago about adding achievement icons to the guide...I even uploaded the graphics (all 32 achievement icons from the game). The only problem is that adding the markup for the icons makes the Achievements chapter too big-- I'd have to break it up into two sections, or delete enough content to make it fit.
I also couldn't seem to figure out how to keep the text inline with the icon, but presumably that's something I could figure out.
So I haven't added the icons at the moment, though I still might just bite the bullet and split up the achievements section and add the icons.

I am Interested in the key you are giving and I would def play it as I am an achievement hunter. Your guide looks easy to follow

I have the whole collection of choose-your-own-adventure books, I really love them ^^ The only similar game I ever played is Swordbreaker, and it was a nice little gem. I also used a guide to get the 100% Achievement.
As MouseWithBeer said, the guide seems very clear and useful, and achievement icons could be a nice addition to make it perfect :) You made an awesome job!

Thanks for this! I really liked An Assassin in Orlandes and I was sure I also played Curse of the Assassin but apparently not! I'll go play it soon and your guide will definitely be helpful in getting those achievements, so thanks in advance! :D

Well, this would have been useful back when I played the game. Good guide, still missing the Pub Crawl achiev, might go back to it some day :)

Yeah, I saw your comment in the Steam forums-- in my experience, only seems to happen when Amadis is your companion.

Maybe that's the case, I don't really remember as I've played the game a long time ago :) Good to know though, if I ever return for the remaining achievs, all I would need to do would be to avoid the Amadis path :)

I realize there is a very small audience who might care about such a thing, but what the heck...
Most of the past two months of my non-kid playtime has been playing and writing a 100% Achievement and Full Walkthrough Guide for Curse of the Assassin, a fantasy-themed gamebook (aka., "choose-your-own-adventure") and sequel to An Assassin in Orlandes. Both of those games were SG wins! :D
I wrote the guide because 1) I won Curse of the Assassin on SG (thanks NikolajDegtjarjow!), 2) I wanted to complete it 100%, 3) there was no guide for it that I could find, and 4) I figured I'd need to map it out anyway-- might as well write my first guide!
If you have the game, then feel free to take a look at the guide and let me know if you have any feedback.
If you don't have the game, but would like to play it and try out my guide, then I have an extra key to the game you can have.(Update: given away) I'd just ask that you take a look at the store page and make sure it's the kind of game you'd like to play, then play the game and give me some feedback on the guide sometime in the next couple of months or so. Special consideration if you've beaten An Assassin in Orlandes in Adventurer or Classic mode!In the unlikely event I get a bunch of interest, I guess I'll make an invite-only GA for it and distribute the link to those interested.
