Talk:Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen/@comment-138.130.244.186-20141207111901/@comment-25604735-20141208135341

It has to do with how the achievements are loaded to XBox Live. From the XBox Live perspective, there is only one game. So, when Dark Arisen came out, all achievements were associated with the newer version. You could play both games and not get all 50 achievements in either game but be credited with 100% completion because between the two games you had collected all fifty different achievements. Similarly, once you start the original Dragon's Dogma, you get the "It Begins" achievement for completing the prologue. If, subsequently, you start DD:DA; you will not get the "It Begins" achievement because your Gamertag has already earned it in the older version of the game.
