Mass Effect 3 Achievements list leaks

But do you need Kinect?

The list of Mass Effect 3 Achievements has leaked, as usual courtesy of Xbox360Achievements. Presumably Trophies for the PlayStation 3 version will be identical.

An array of awards are unlocked via the game's multiplayer mode, although every one of these also boasts a condition to alternatively unlock it in Mass Effect 3's single-player campaign.

This means that players who only wish to play the game's single-player story can still get the game's full 1000 Points.

There are no Kinect-only Achievements, unlike some other "Better With Kinect" titles.

The meatiest rewards come from completing the story campaign, polishing off a decent amount of the Galaxy at War metagame and beating every mission on "Insanity" difficulty (or all multiplayer maps on Gold). Each doles out 50 Points, while beating the whole game on "Insanity" difficulty awards 75 Points.

Like Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect 3 has a "Long Service Medal" award for beating the game twice, or once with an imported save from the previous game. There's no need to have carried your save over all the way from Mass Effect 1, however.

The "Paramour" Achievement also returns, once again awarded for successfully completing a romance with another character. Players also qualify if they manage to "rekindle" a relationship carried over from a previous game.
