As is typical with big open-world RPGs, expect 150+ hours for 100% - especially for some of the grinds. Be careful for all the missable achievements; you'll need to play the whole game as a pacifist virgin to get them all! On that note, some of the achievements are technically mutually exclusive (you can't get the courting achievements in the same game as the Virgin achievement). So use your saves; do the courting ones and reload to revert that and remain a virgin in your active save. The same applies to some others - see the notes in each achievement for details.
To get everything in one playthrough (with a little save-scumming) bear in mind the following until the end of the story:
You can carry on playing after the story to grind out the other achievements, for killing and most likely for Scrooge and
David Horak too.
Be sure to do all side quests as soon as they appear, in case other actions cause them to be subsequently unavailable.
While playing through, work to max your Speech skill, for Bard and to help avoid combat for
Merciful. Keep haggling on everything to grind toward
Haggler, keep hold of money to get
Scrooge, and steal stuff for
Thief (just don't get caught!)

Don't kill anyone (except Runt, who you have to kill to progress the story). You can use your fists and blunt weapons to just knock people out - just make sure not to kill them. Also go for stealth kills where you can. You can track # kills in the game stats window - which should stay at zero until Runt, and then 1 from the point you kill him through to the end of the game.
