Achievements not unlocking is not proof for a wide-spreading programming problem
This achievements work flawless on the PC and on the PS as well afaik, so this is in no way a global problem, it is a problem on the Xbox version.
Scripting is programming, this games work flawless on all platforms plus/minus some bugs, this alone rules out a "script problem running in the entire LE."
A bug, or software bug, is by definition an error in a computer program (like a video game) that causes the program to produce an incorrect or unexpected result or to react in an unintended way.
(And sometimes it is hard to determine if an error in the game is a bug, or an issue caused by problems on the player's computer/console.)
And this is exactly what this is, not some kind of global problem with the programming, but a simple bug.

should be actually helpful if more people (specially PC modders) can get to the game code and see if there is something broken with the script tracker and hence that is where Bioware should concentrate on.
Modders don't look at the code.
Nobody looks at the code besides the developers, simply because you would need to decompile the exe to get to the code
And even then, what you would get is not even close to the code that Bioware has.
Modders use elements that are already used in game, textures, meshes, dialogue, sequences and change them so that they work inside the already existing framework of the game engine.
So, with all due respect, you shouldn't speculate about a "script problem running in the entire LE." when you don't even understand the terms, which you clearly don't.
Edit: Typo
"This achievements work flawless on the PC and on the PS as well afaik, so this is in no way a global problem, it is a problem on the Xbox version."
That is also wrong. They can be bugged on all platforms.

If this Achievements don't work on a PC or PS than because of a local issue, it is not a widespread problem like on the Xbox.

I don't mind a workaround.
Do any on Xbox have experience of 'successfully' completing Insanity III?
I can try to replicate another run. 🙂
I might do another run without DLCs and with the perceived easiest class, just to feel I'm 'complete'. 🙂

Not after the patch, no. They patched out my workaround in that update (farming all three achievements by killing Saren over and over again), but the regular way to get it is still broken.
At this point they should just revert to the original state, at least there was some way to get it.
