In this Achievement Guide for VA-11 Hall-A Cyberpunk Bartender Action, I will quickly document how to reach all the endings and get every achievement. Beware, that this means that there are going to be spoilers especially as you scroll down towards the endings and more obscure achievements.
There are not going to be any more warnings, so read at your own discretion. I would like to use this opportunity to strongly urge you to play at least one or two playthroughs yourself though, as VA-11 Hall-A is a special kind of ride that you should experience without background knowledge first. If you are unsure about the game, have a look at this review.
