What you should know before you start

If you constantly save, you will be able to return to most of the achievements, except for "Finish Him" and "Vampire Champion". Save in multiple slots, there is a bug where blocks can get stuck in each other. And also do not try to approach the enemy from behind and stealth kill with a Reaver, game will crash.
