    Start the game from the beginning and invite your friend into your private game and progress through the first 5 minutes of the game on tell some bad guy bust through a door kill them and a man will appear in the busted down door for a conversation do not push a button and let the game set for 3 hours and the achievement will be yours, me and my friend did this well i went out and he watched TV, and when i came we both had achievement. We tried playing through but the game would always get freeze at the loading screen or we would lose connection so this is the quickest way to get achievement do to the fact that there are not load screens, no level ups, or equipment screens which the game doesn’t count as time played and you don’t have to worry about freezing and lost connections, also we taped are controllers in the up direction just to make sure and we used wired controllers and play and charge cords i hope this helps cause it sure helped us.
    If you have any questions send me a message on my tag thanks.:)

    (Update) This method can be done in offline mode with 2 controllers, just sign second controller in as guest and wait the 3 hours.

    The GlobalizerI got this in offline co-op and didn't even sign in my second controller at all. Just pressed the start button. I rubberbanded the sticks of both controllers so they were running in circles.

    Gather one or more friends and play the game for 3 hours. Choosing "Take A Break" or waiting in the equipment screen will NOT pop the achievement.

    thx 2 spit5ire & p1zZaBiT

    & update based on Lucienna's comments for Offline play:
    "I can confirm that this achievement will unlock if 2 players are playing offline co-op (make sure that the 2nd person is signed in as "guest").
    ,,,
    Because my co-op friend got tired after 2 hours, I taped my controller to have both characters running against a chair in the Meisterhall for the last hour, and it did unlock."

    fatmanofamericajust a little note, i did MCASguru's solution with a conversation, and used 2 wireless controllers. Although the controllers both shut off, I still got the achievement.

    ChucklestyleI tried this in offline co-op with a 2nd player signed in to a different account (not guest) and it didn't seem to work until I changed my multiplayer setting from "Offline Game" to "Private Game". Maybe offline only works with guest?

    I can confirm that as of 1/13/19, the best way to get this offline would be to use two controllers and go idle in a conversation that requires a conversation choice. It shouldn't take but 5 minutes to get to this point in a new game. It doesn't matter if the controllers turn off; the achievement will still pop. Credit to MCASguru for the comments in other solutions. Happy hunting!

    UnmatchedBraceJust wanted to add an additional comment that with backward compatibility it's hard to sign in with a guest account and fortunately it's not necessary.
    What is necessary is to disable the "Show me things when idle" as that pauses the game in the background after a certain period of time (found under Settings->Preferences->Idle Options)
