Achievement Help and FAQ!

[Meteor]

I got some Tips for you guys on some of the more annoying achievements.

Ally (any):

Takes 15 Missions and 45 assignments complete with any ally to get this. They must be in your party when you accept the assignment.

Liara and Wrex are the Hardest as they take the most time to get.

Wrex: Get Garrus right off the bat (ignore everything in the citadel till then). Head right down to C-sec and get Wrex

Liara: Get rights to Normandy and Ignore everything else unnecessary. Go to Artemis Tau and get Liara.

Always keep your Two chosen allies in your party!

Sniper Expert:

Wait till you Unlock Rich first. Buy the Spectre Gear Sniper. This will make it many times easier to get.

Paragon/Renegade:

On the planet Noveria, head to the hotel bar and look for a Turian named Lorik Quinn. Accept his quest to steal the data from his office. Once you get the data, the receptionist will ask you to get Quinn to testify. Tell her you'll do it, and then go talk to Quinn. From here:

1) Tell Quinn that he should testify (top left option).

2) When he refuses, select the Charm option (top left) for Paragon points or the Intimidate (bottom left) for Renegade points and end the conversation.

3) Talk to him again, and ask about the Matriarch.

4) When he gets done talking about her, select the "Other questions" option (bottom right).

5) Now, you'll have the option to ask him to testify again (top left). He'll refuse, and you'll be able to use the Charm or Intimidate option again to gain another 24 Paragon or Renegade points.

Repeat steps 3-5 until you have all the Paragon or Renegade points you want.

Taken From GameFAQS Cheats section

Completionist:

Like the Ally achievements this requires 15 Missions and 45 assignments completed by Sheppard to unlock.

Rich:

By the end of the game you will be getting so much money for sold items, this won't take but one run through of selling your equipment to get.

^ Best gotten early (Unlocks some serious gear at the Requisitions Office) ^

Hope this helps you guys.

FAQ:

Q: Do my Ally completions carry over to New Game+?

A: No. Completionist and all ALLY achievements must be acquired in one go. You must do it in a single playthrough. You can't beat the game At 50% completion and get 25% during New Game+. It won't earn you the achievement.

Q: Do Ally Achievements Bonuses carry over to New Games?

A: Yes. They are permanently active so long as you are on the account that has the achievements.

Is there any benefit to getting Ally other than the just the achievement?

All Ally Achievements unlock Bonuses.

I.E. - Unlocking Tali's earns you a 10% cooldown bonus on Sabotage and AI Hacking.

Ok thats what I thought.

And do those carry over to new games?

As far as I am aware all bonuses stay active so long as you are signed into a profile that has the achievements.

Short answer: It is always active.

You can use Quinn to get renegade/paragon points. Hmm, I need to give that a shot!
