11 Shameful Video Game Achievements You Don’t Want To Share

8. Fable 2 - The Paramour

DUKE NUKEM OFFENSIVE ACHIEVEMENT

The Fable series has always allowed you to bond with other NPCs through the act of marriage and sex, but in the case of Fable 2, it went out of its way to make sure you partook in as much bonking as possible.

An achievement known as The Paramour tasks you with making love 25 times. It can be with the same person or multiple people, but as long as you do the horizontal tango 25 times, you'll get the achievement for your trouble.

Or so it would seem. There's actually another nuance to the achievement - you can also get it by watching another hero getting jiggy with it 25 times. That means you'll follow around someone and lurk creepily in the background watching them break the bedsprings. Not just once. 25. Whole. Times.

It's not an achievement anyone would be particularly proud of, and we can only hope that for those being watched they knew it was actually happening and the player hadn't broken into the house and stood at the top of the stairs creeping from the shadows doing the thrusting animation.
