sally is just a cringe version of quinn if i'm being honest
That's partly also why I think it'd happen (though I wouldn't call it cringe personally). There seems to be a number of DIK-oriented options getting added so Sally would make sense as a CHICK-oriented one.

I tried facial expressions from P3Design - he created Imogen, it is Jill's model. I thought that with the original author's expressions it would help poor Jill to smile!
Spoiler: it didn't help.

Jill actually has an attractive model. She had some bad periods in ep7 and ep8, but overall she's a beauty. However, DPС is constantly experimenting and choosing unfortunate hairstyles and emotes. I don't know what's involved that her smile just looks scary. Facial rigging is a problem in general for all models in DAZ, there are clearly not enough polygons for facial expressions.

So the first time I went through episode 9, I was on the Josy and Maya path, and decided to try out the Haunted Mansion… and discovered I hate, hate, hate Ren’Py’s feature where you can only see a few inches round your cursor. Fortunately you can toggle it by pressing H, and see the rest of the image. But DPC just had to use the goddamn thing twice in that episode—in both the Haunted Mansion, and the blackout.

Anyway, because I hate it, I didn’t bother to go through the Haunted Mansion twice. Every time Tommy made the MC pick something to do, I just had everyone tell scary stories. Derek taking off the dick helmet to reveal he’s got romance-novel hair always makes me laugh. So do the whale sounds.

Until someone finally told me if the MC takes Sage through the Haunted Mansion, she lets him put her in the stocks and fuck her. Ha! She would. That, I had to see.

Thing is, I’d been through the Haunted Mansion before with Josy and Maya, so I already knew Penny was hiding in there for that final jump scare. So when Sage locks Tremolo in the cage till he mouth-fucks her, my first thought was, “Um… Penny’s gonna see this.” Then this happens:God she’s fun. But poor Penny was pretty traumatized. Well, it makes up for the MC later walking in on her naked with a snorkel up her ass.
Traumatized?

Looking ahead for Seasons 3 & 4 it seems clear there may be future LIs to lock into routes for. So far I'd say the obvious candidates (or practical certainties in some cases) seem to be Zoey, Quinn, Riona, and possibly even Nicole (she's getting a lot of focus as the game's gone on for a supposed "Side Girl").

However does anyone else get the feeling, along similar lines to Riona and Nicole, that Sally may also end up being an LI in the future? The arguments for would definitely be the only non-LI so far that's had their own SR series, an increasing list of appearances post Ep 6 that seems odd for a character that isn't intended to play a larger role, and has had it hinted multiple times now that she and Magnar are on the outs.

Sally so far looks like a regular girl for sex for the night and for creating cheap drama with Magnar. There are already so many hidden LIs in this game who will clearly have their own ending: Riona, Quinn, Lily, Zoey.
I'm confused by Mel and Sarah, they've been given an unreasonable amount of attention in the last two episodes considering they're not particularly popular among the fandom.

This is true, often I have to do a mix of different emotions and never set the expression slider to 100%, otherwise it will turn out creepy. DPC simply doesn't have the time to lick each of the 5700 renders and 30 mins of animations to perfection.
Jill remains beautiful as long as she doesn't open her mouth too much, that's what I learned.:D But mock her for creepy expressions it's a local tradition here. :LOL:

possibly even Nicole (she's getting a lot of focus as the game's gone on for a supposed "Side Girl").
Perhaps it is due to her having more life experience as a woman in her 30s with child. I suspect DPC is making her more involved because she can naturally have more involvement with the MC as she has had a man in her life, a child with that man , has probably had a variety of jobs , more social interactions , life interactions and bigger wishes , other than the plethora of college girls with little life experience outside of education and partying and Nicole makes for a good alternate LI/side girl as she has more to say and share with her new found lover story wise. A more dates, meals, theatre/days out trips , nights in with wine and sex, going clubbing with him and getting there drink and coke/smoke on (a more working adult lifestyle) type of lover/partner.

There's no reason for her not to be an LI eventually , yet , if DPC continues to make seasons there is no bad reason for her to become one , especially as MC can already be involved with older women with a future beyond college with Jade or Bella.

I think those two only got involvement because of both prior content early on but also as a potential drama device on Sage's path.

And if Sally was just meant to be a one-off encounter at some point, the 20 render series she's gotten (when other one-offs haven't more than a mixed render or two) seems excessive.

Holy shit, I'm a relatively new player. I don't think I've ever done a 180 on a character as much as I have with quinn. When I played for the first time, I hated her so much that I just said I'm gonna stay away from her in every playthrough. Then I finally did play her route and now I can't do a playthrough without pursuing quinn. New favourite LI. Man, DPC is so good at writing compelling and captivating characters.

Has anyone else noticed that Rusty only shows up on the balcony during Jill's ending? Out of all the endings the only time you know Jill's precise location at the end of the party is if you're on Jill's route... Now this could all be simple laziness on DPC's part but DPC is a perfectionist who would surely not make a basic mistake like this. So here's the theory in every route apart from the Jill route, Rusty depressed after being dumped by that blond side chick actually bangs Jill at the end of the party! The banana peel costume symbolises that Jill is fresh and ready to be peeled by the MC... However the bumblebee costume demonstrates a Jill ready for her honey pot to be swiped by Rusty.

Rusty shows up only on Jill's ending in Ep9. I thought he had already forgotten Jill, but it seems he still likes her. I love Rusty as a real brother but kinda feel sorry for him. He had one chance for Jill and he screwed it up very badly. I hope he won't hate MC because of his relationship with Jill. Micha was a bad choice for him. I certainly think he should try his luck with Josy.
