Fallout 3 achievements and trophies

The Xbox 360 and PC versions of Fallout 3 include 64 Achievements worth more than a total of 1350 points, while the PlayStation 3 version includes 51 Trophies (including the exclusive 51st 'Platinum Trophy'). Despite both the PC and Xbox having identical achievements, the game has separate IDs for the two on LIVE which makes cross-platform profile comparison currently incompatible. Every add-on "pack" except for Broken Steel will add Achievements totaling 100 points. Broken Steel will add 150.

Trophies were not initially available in the PlayStation 3 version, but were added in the 1.10 patch released December 15, 2008.

Note: Achievements/Trophies are not retro-active, meaning you can only obtain quest related ones by playing from the beginning when they are initially available, i.e. "Escape" and "G.O.A.T. Whisperer." However, you can gain Trophies and Achievements by loading a previous save, doing the requirements, and then going back to your main save. This technique will also work for "branched" Achievements and Trophies like Reaver, Mercenary, and Protector respectively.

Note: While comparing your Fallout 3 achievements with someone else on Xbox Live, the achievements for Point Lookout will be visible, however when looking at your achievements from the dashboard, they will not. Previously they have been invisible, but Fallout 3 has shown up as having 68 achievements, which it won't have until Point Lookout is released.

Note: You can get the achievements twice by buying Fallout 3 for PC and Xbox360 and sign in to windows live with your Xbox live account.
