Thanks for the guide! Along with the other achievement guide for this game, there is an important detail I encountered with "The Capital" - you must carry through the conversation once the newspaper is presented to obtain the achievement (either Agree or Disagree with her). If you Drop the subject, you will get locked out of the achievement. This happened to me. I'm pretty sure there are similar conditions for many of the other achievements triggered by chats!

To fix this, I added a mini-guide of my own in case anyone else ends up in a similar situation due to lack of specifics: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2237059042
