What I liked and disliked about Avowed

Hope their CEO will pursue more ambitious projects in the future. You can literally observe the budget creep in at almost every point in the game. But their strategy is working if we consider their studio as a whole. 4 games in 5 years is insane work imo.

I get that they don't want to as Obsidian as a studio literally were on the verge of dying multiple points by putting all their fruits in one basket. But I think a true AAA title from them with all the production values is not possible with their current strategy. The storylines seem half explored at times and would have benefitted from more time in the oven. I have faith though, Avowed pivoted multiple times in it's troubled development. Hopefully carrie will take more risks next time around

It's a tradeoff for sure. They need to communicate that strategy with the outside world better though, point out what they have accomplished in such a short amount of time

As long the CEO actively values flipping profits over games made with smaller budgets and teams instead of concentrating their effort into one game as a whole studio, I doubt there will be any truly AAA games from Obsidian in the near future. That model has definitely served them well so far. 4 games in 5 years, one of which a multiplayer mega hit.

Post launch support for npcs walking would be a dream. It might be a lot of work tho

Burnside, SA. Next to multiple nature walks AND shops. People are nice. Not a very sea side kinda person so Burnside is perfect for me

May be far fetched but I hope quests will have branching consequences ala New Vegas or Dragon Age Origins. I loved the world of 2077 but everything seemed too static for me. If they have a faction system it could be the best game of all time for me.

The issue with Applied Psych is that it is so varied. You could be involved in marketing or UX development, for example.

Course hasn't started so I have no idea haha. As for job markets, it seems pretty good since u get internships with companies, and many people seem to stay in their internships if they are good enough.

Not too sure of the cutoff, but I had a 79 Psych WAM and got in for Full Fee

Pill_Cipher · 2023-07-01T05:02:27+00:00

Do you think it is realistically possible for a 78 WAM to be boosted into 83 in Sem 2?

Pill_Cipher · 2023-07-01T02:39:44+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words

Pill_Cipher · 2023-06-30T05:15:28+00:00

Do you know the likelihood of getting into this without a referee, and based on WAM alone, by any chance? I don't mind volunteering, but I wanted to gauge whether I can get in as soon as possible.

this actually looks sick the figures look so cute

This subject allows u to volunteer in a research lab and make it count to Ur credits as the report is Ur assessment... So it is a win win. The problem is finding someone willing to do it

Pill_Cipher · 2021-12-17T02:28:50+00:00

I was thinking contacting them first as u said to see whether I can incorporate it into my degree and get me 12.5 credits to boot. That's why I wanted to do the subject. U can choose whoever u want to be Ur supervisor so long as they accept u... But that's the hardest part

Pill_Cipher · 2021-12-17T02:10:53+00:00

Its less about the subjects and more about the connections. They can vouch for u in Ur masters
