Yeah, you can probably expect quite a bit of Mass Effect 3 coverage for the next few months. Just bear with it, I promise it's not going to be ALL I talk about.
Anyway, the achievement/trophy list got released today and really, they're pretty spoiler-free, with the exception of one that I wish I hadn't read, but even that isn't all that big. For the most part, they're so vague that it's hard to count them as spoilers.
But here's an interesting thing, as a series driven by a strong single-player narrative, many were curious about multiplayer achievements with the addition of co-op in this game. Well, the short answer is that there are multiplayer achievements.
The long answer is actually quite ingenious on BioWare's part. Any achievement that can be obtained in multiplayer has a separate requirement for single-player. So if you're not at all interested in the multiplayer, you can still get every achievement. For example, the "Tour of Duty" requires you to either complete all multiplayer maps OR complete all N7 sidemissions in single-player.
Well played BioWare. This reinforces BioWare's statements that multiplayer is just an addition that isn't necessary for the full experience and a complete story. It reinforces their statements that the main focus is still on the single-player experience. Well done.
Anyway, the list of achievements is here: Mass Effect 3 Achievements.
Also a live-action trailer was released a few days ago. Actually, scratch that. This was an already released trailer but it's expanded and I though I'd just post it so I could put more here than just a link to achievements.
WARNING: For those who haven't played the first two Mass Effect games, there's a definite possibility of a spoiler, ESPECIALLY near the beginning of the video. Skip if you haven't completed the first two.
Now that I got that out of the way, my hands are clean so don't blame me. Here you go.
