    Thanks Guys

    Firstly
    Mass Effect 3Master and CommanderThe Master and Commander achievement in Mass Effect 3 worth 78 pointsDeliver most of the Galaxy at War assets to the final conflict.
    is keeping Buggy+/-. We can't take into account DLC when flagging the original game, because not everyone has access to the DLC even if it is free. So the buggy- stays. The fact that the achievement has and can pop earlier than what is suggested in the achievement description is enough to keep buggy+.

    Second
    Mass Effect 3UnwaveringThe Unwavering achievement in Mass Effect 3 worth 128 pointsFinish all multiplayer maps on Gold or all single-player missions on Insanity.
    will get Buggy- , as a few people have indicated that the mission counter resets making this achievement difficult to obtain.

    Finally the new Branch flag was added to most of the suggestions. Where there is two very different methods of obtaining a single achievement then the branch flag will show this. However in the case of completing the same action albeit on different difficulties then the branch flag does not apply.
    Game Info Monkey. Hit enough buttons I'll get it right eventually.

    After discussion within the team we came to the decision to leave the Main Storyline flag on the achievement and add the Buggy- flag. We feel that the achievement should unlock after that choice and, as it does not, indicates that the achievement is in fact buggy.

    I actually believe that it was done on purpose and therefore that it is not a buggy achievement.

    There are four endings to the game: in three of them (destroy, control, merge) you get to choose the fate of the galaxy, but in the last one, you simply refuse to choose, so the reapers just finish what they started.

    Keep in mind that the achievement states "Mission accomplished", and not "you have finished the game". The main objective in the game is to stop the reaping process; all three endings stop the reapers but the last one doesn't, so the mission is not accomplished.

    After looking into the endings further we concur that the achievement is not guaranteed and therefore the Main Storyline flag is not applicable. We also removed the recently added Buggy-.

    Apologies for the flip-flopping, new information in addition to your response has helped us feel more confident with the decision we have now made. Thank you very much.
