The league is up-to-date for this week.

Not a good week for this guy

There's still 40+ weeks to recover! And anything can happen in that time.

I spent two days searching every map and every building and talking to every character with a name trying to get to 50 successful persuasions and finish this damn game (KOA:R). I could have started from scratch and done it faster. Now I have to anyway. Idjut.

Yeah, yeah read the achievement list and plan ahead. I should at least start doing that after one full playthrough.

Did I mention I'm looking forward to ME3? Could you tell?

It stinks that you have to run through the game again just for 1 achievement, Recon. I assume you're using the x360a.org quide. It is definitely not complete. From my experience, there are approximately 15 persuasion opportunities during the main quest, 20 in Factions and 40+ in side quests. There were at least 20 more chances to persuade after I hit 50 and unlocked the achievement. I'm not positive because I stopped keeping count.

For some help I'll tell you what I did. It should be a given but I maxed Persuasion as early as possible and saved before every quest-related conversation. If a persuasion opportunity isn't available from the start of a conversation, always select the left-side dialogs options first. Never choose the bottom-right (aggressive/dismissive) dialog option as it ends many conversations before they even give you the opportunity to persuade. There are only a handful of persuasions that appear after selecting the bottom right dialog. I can't remember them so it's not worth selecting it.

Thanks. Don't worry about me I'm constantly pointing out how my decisions always seem to give the worst possible outcome. I got it about halfway through the second island this time with no faction quests done at all. There must be around 70 persuasion options total. I can't have missed by much. Not having a counter was a design flaw. I should either plan ahead like you or adopt JPL's attitude and play till It's not fun anymore then move on.

I had planned on finishing Bioshock 2 at the hardest difficulty but it's pretty tough compared to that cakewalk. It's all good.
