Virtually all achievements consist of an area you explore, an
opponent you kill, and a task you can later discuss in social
settings.

So the achievement covers the other three bases naturally.

This isn't true, of course, but it's more or less how the
achievement-centric developer sees it.

The difficult part is trying to define WHY this isn't true.
