Requirements for beating main story? (Conan Exiles)

Conan Exiles is a game where you build and survive. There's a ton of objectives to complete in a journal that you start with, but no laid-out campaign to speak of.

I considered this game complete because I earned every trophy, but that can be done without completing 99% of the objectives in the journal. That's because there's a built-in cheat menu that can spawn rare bosses and then kill them instantly for you. You can earn every trophy in under 2 hours even though completing the objectives in the journal and experiencing the game as intended takes much much longer (70+ hours?).

After playing this game, I've started to find other games where you can earn every trophy without completing the main story campaign. Teslagrad is one example where you can earn 100% achievements without fighting the last boss or seeing the ending.

So I'm just thinking I didn't really beat Conan Exiles even though I earned every achievement. I'm probably going to delete my 17 hour time submission because it's misleading, although maybe it's a useful data point for trophy hunters? Maybe a new time entry category for Trophy/Achievement Hunters? (That's probably going too far XD)

I would keep it. Fighting the bosses could be considered "beating" the game.
And I wouldn't worry about the in-game console. Just like any other game with built-in cheats, just do not submit a time if they are used to speed up the completion.

as with all things - if you include details in your notes then it's easy for people to see what you did for your time =)
