Hadn't given them that much thought. In hindsight, they are indeed luck based all the way, but less 'flip-a-coin' than GC Cross, Cyberdemon's Head or Mastermind's Brain (yes I realize the latter two can be done purely on gameplay as well, but like I said, chances that you find that 1 lucky Invul are just too high - up to 6 lucky invuls or perfectly placed stairs + a trigun or a small herd of nukes is a different story already).

That is so 0996. No seriously, I ran into DS a couple of runs back and it didn't register. Dangdest.
White Rider:
Has anyone ever wielded the Dragonslayer and died before getting to Mastermind?
I think I have as much of an issue (for the lack of a better word) with Gutt's Heart as I do with the GC Cross, as they're both "find an item and kill the 'last' boss with it". Though in contrast, I quite like Malicious Knives Cross/Sunrise Iron Fist/"YAAM on some challenge" badge, since those require a different style of play, and maybe even use one or two weapons (or no weapons!).
Maybe we should have a medal that requires having a certain percentage of kills that you weren't the direct cause of...

I'd say the only reliable way to get Fallout Gold/Platinum is the Trigun early enough, knowing what the Angel Arm does, and knowing how to survive it. It's certainly more reliable than waiting for the RNG gods to hand you nukes.
After that it's a matter of asking yourself, "Do I want to explode a chunk of the Phobos Base, and possibly miss out on heals, mod packs, ammo, armors...all of which I won't need--but get a floor's worth of EXP for a measly 5 maxHP? And then repeat this for some shinies on my player profile?"

YES!
Solarn:
The problem I see here is that medals have very variable difficulty. Some are intended to be fairly easy to get and some will only ever be achieved by the top players, while some are simply luck-based. I honestly have no problem with any of them. I know I will likely never get the Hell Arena Pwnage Medal or Thomas' Medal, but that doesn't make me want to get rid of them because they were never intended for me. Similarly, I will probably never have the patience for Gambler's Shield, but that doesn't make it any less valid.
So no, I don't think any medals need to be removed.

I can confirm this for this version-I found it once, poked at it a while, decided it wasn't worth time I'd rather spend playing the game to figure out, and wandered off. Despite trying a dozen or so times to pick it up, no register for me.
