Yes, It's just you :p , every fucking time when someone start with this, it's always them, only them, who have an abnormally bad take:p. and later some others might join because they think they gonna be look "cool" and "different" if they join. news flash, they not :p:ROFLMAO:
Believe what you want, but I swear I'm not shitposting. I'm legit asking for honest opinions, even more so from Josy fans. Since you'd be the first to notice the shift.

I just remember her being cuter in S1-2.
Than again, with all the render/lighting improvements, some characters look differently.
I personally think Sage had the biggest glow up, the very first version of Sage with that messy hair was crime, lol.

Overall I think it's not the model, I think it's the same(tho I think she had more chubby cheeks in S1).
I think it's just lighting and pose most likely in this case.

BUT, I stand by and will always will stand by the fact that I think the EP9 hair for Josy was a greasy mess.
That's my personal opinion that can't be changed. I mean I like Sage, but I'm not above saying her oily/reflective skin issue in Ep9 was hella silly. Nothing to do with staning or liking a character.

I'm actually asking an honest question here. If you think I'm shitposting, that is your right.
But I promise you, not my intent.

I actually liked her hair in EP9 aswell for the party. I think she looked super sexy. To each his own I guess.

Is it just me or is she kind of uglier since episode 9?
Dunno, not just the ponytail(that looked GREAT on her), but overall her face kind of looks worse than before. Dunno is it the lighting, makeup or both, but she looks worse to me since ep9. I miss the bit chubby cheeks.
I kind of remember her being cuter in Seasons 1-2.
It's like all the advanced rendering, lights and shadows make her face look a bit skinny.
To be honest, I love Josy visual upgrade since Episode 8.
She looks a bit grown and more detailed, but as far as her model goes, DPC didn't mess anything up. Well, maybe only the teeth, they just need to be made a little shorter and the reflections removed.
As for a thin face, it may also depend on the camera angle.
But man, that lustful smile and look...Damn.:cool:

Ofc, no bashing here :D Just wanted honest opinions, that's all.
We can all talk honestly and still have our own opinions. But since I believe mine is different, wanted to hear other people's.
Yeah 100% agree. There some spots where body proportions doesn't sometimes look right but I have seen that with other characters too

On a different note, what a shame that you don't get to chose your costume for the Halloween event. I was kinda looking forward at the hilarity of dressing up as a slutty nurse... lol

How old is Josy ? 35? Such cheekbones appear after 30.


It's about ugly cheekbones and strange old wrinkles that are not typical for young girls. In fact, it's about DAZ. Almost all the models in the game look 30+ and Bella seems to be the same age as Jill, lol. All DAZ models are quite low-poly and low-detailed.
This is not sculpting models with millions of polygons. Without hair, each model carries 30,000 polygons, which is not enough. For example, my camera model weighs more than 3 million polygons.
And accordingly, the lighting directly depends on the detail. The sun's rays are repelled from the surface, or rather from irregularities and roughness, and this affects the lighting of the scene as a whole. Accordingly, the fewer details on the model, the more plastic and unnatural the light will be. Detailing is added by sculpting when a large number of layers and clay are used, but all models of DAZ are flat.
In general, this is not a problem of DPC, it squeezes the maximum out of DAZ.
He probably started using subdivide more often when rendering, trying to add more polygons, but it's pointless. If the model is initially low-detailed, without any inherent human irregularities, you can add as many polygons as you want, but you will not be able to make the model better.
I myself have witnessed that many girls, even at their 20-25, when they smile, have wrinkles on their faces. This is normal and nothing can be done about it, when it's a jaw structure.
I understand this is a porn game and many are just picky because they want to see the perfect girls, but the ideal doesn't exist.
Looking at the current BaDIK and some other games, I'm amazed at what DAZ is actually capable of. These girls look much better than ugly models in AAA projects. It's funny that we get such an incredible visual and at the same time are unhappy.

I was reading the post here in pervious pages so here is my thaughts. . .

While I mentioned previously that DCP is a Haydra dragon in the Choices and meaning. Yet even he have to Clean the pictures regarding the choices he throws at player.

1. Example : Tommy ask MC to look after Josy, I mean that would say everything what tommy think of MC. (Off course he(Tommy) care bout her but not gonna say it)

While At some levels tommy sees MC as rival but he know MC can be treated.

2. Example : Male rival in sexual parthner and command over diks.
× Tommy " It will be your last party if you fail " , overalll not showing rope as MC's father :LOL: and trying to undermine MC multiple times.


× × To confirm that " I forget that asshole name Where Mc fight someone because their home is ruined and if mc win, Diks mentioned and talk about it where you can see about clearly in tommy's response. × ×


It's not about what being( In understanding of character ) said but what is really happening ( What their actions are).
I'm not sure if anyone's tried this yet, but I'm going to start a new playthrough from the latest update episode and just destroy the party planner and plan the worst party ever and see how Tommy (and everyone else) reacts to it. :ROFLMAO:

the stuff with Vinny and the gun could come to the att'n of the cops, but what if as some people think, and i thought this too at one point, that Lily is an undercover cop and Vinny is one of her targets. she would be able to vouch for the mc in the case of anything to do with Vinny's gun. if the game goes in that direction where a crime happens at some point, the mc is not on the radar of the cops for any reason. but Vinny most likely is since he is a drug dealer. and now that someone brought it up, perhaps Tommy od's since he is using harder drugs than just weed. and since Tommy is a dumbass maybe he dies or ends up in rehab and Vinny is the one that dies. since i hate him already i am good with that.
I admit that I am not a fan of the theory about Lily being an undercover cop. How old is she supposed to be? Maybe I am utterly wrong on this, but does it not seem like hell of a police job for someone so young? It somehow reminds me of LoF and the counter-terrorism investigation the MC's ex was leading. I really have a hard time picturing the big bosses assigning jobs like those to people with so little field experience. That said, neither am I an expert nor is it like we haven't heard of cases like those in movies, series or books, which are most likely a source of inspiration for DPC.

Josy is one of the cutest girls in the game. And unlike you and surely more people, I also liked her in episode 9. That said, I agree with the people that is saying that she does not look her best in this latest preview. In fact, I do not like how she looks in this preview.

Her teeth, her wrinkles under her left eye. She looks somewhat aged. I don't even think that hairstyle suits her much. Not my favorite render featuring Josy, for sure.

Also not a fan of this theory but some states do allow 18/19 years old for undercover cop. It happens rarely or they put someone young looking for this types of operations. Also, it is very risky and mostly talented and smart people are put in charge for this and I did say lily is pretty smart and sly. So far, I think that theory is kinda mid we don't know much about lily history.
