9 Most Pointless Achievements In Video Game History

7. Master Criminal - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4mjU10oTno If you want to know how pointless this trophy is, try to find somebody that used their main profile to get it and saved. Oh really, you can€™t? What a surprise! To get this whopper you have to attain a 1,000 gold bounty in all of Skyrim€™s major cities, requiring you to murder and rob your way across the entire map. The main problem with this is it not only requires no skill whatsoever, but also downright ruins your sense of character. This is a game that sells itself by allowing its players to be anything they want, from an infamous religious assassin to an all-powerful tiger mage or a devoted husband and savour of the world, so why include a trophy that requires players to tear down the entire personality they€™ve created for their character and possibly ruin a load of their mission progress? Most people ignored this trophy, the rest fulfilled the requirements and then loaded an earlier save; nobody enjoyed it.
