A recent leak surfaced that suggests Starfield will have 50 achievements at launch. While we don't have official confirmation, or any insight into what we'll have to do to earn these achievements, it's got me thinking about a Fallout 4 trophy that continues to elude me almost eight years later. Having successfully earned the platinum for Skyrim, I've long since been trying to do the same in Bethesda's rad-filled world. But despite my best efforts, I just can't seem to secure one achievement that has often felt impossible to pull off without any sort of guidance.
I close my eyes and I can see it. On Fallout 4's map, an illuminated smiley face looks out at me from the screen of my Pip Boy, next to the marker for the Sanctuary settlement. Taunting me. Hovering over it shows a percentage number that never quite reaches 100%, no matter what I do. The same goes for just about every settlement in the Wastelands. Try as I might to make my residents happy, I never quite do enough to earn myself what I consider to be the hardest trophy in Fallout 4: Benevolent Leader.
