Use commendations for achievement icons

    I'm a huge fan of collecting achievements in games, and while I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, I know I'm definitely not alone. The more rare achievements I collect in Sea of Thieves, the more I want to show them off on my profile (that's the entire point, right?), but the icons are all the same!

    Since 131 out of 198 (66%) of the achievements have direct in-game assets (and the rest can potentially recycle others) for the commendations, they could easily be re-used for this purpose with minimal work.

    Here's some mock-ups!

    @kruithne8065 I guess this is a Steam issue, right...on XBox achievements they have awesome pictures, like some of the loading screens...

    @schwammlgott I wasn't aware they had icons on XBOX, but yes this is a Steam thing! All of the achievements on Steam use the same icon, and it's not super appealing for your profile, especially when the commendations are so pretty.

    @kruithne8065 Absolutely agree! As a fellow Steam player and achievement hunter, I hate how lackluster the Steam achievement icons are in comparison to the Xbox counterparts. They seriously need a revamp!

    @kruithne8065 so, let the Steam users have the same pictures as we on XBox have...I even use those as a background for my XBox-Dashboard!

    @schwammlgott I have no objection to that! Until someone told me above, I didn't know they had icons for XBOX achievements - it'd definitely be better than the default icon we have on Steam at the moment. I'd love to get the same ones as XBOX has.

    This would be so much better.

    As an Xbox Live pirate, this has zero bearing upon me, but I can certainly see no reason why I shouldn't support this glorious endeavor. 😁

    I also support this options, though I don't have the game on Steam for my PC play. Pairity with other systems, in this case, makes the most sense to me. I see no real good reason why they should differ based on platform.

    I see no reason this shouldn't be a thing. I mean, how are you to tell which achievement is what?
