Great post. I too would’ve liked to have seen some differences in the threesome, depending on whether you’re pursuing Quinn. There are some nice variations in the lead-up to it and afterwards, but the threesome itself is the same regardless. Your suggestions would’ve been an improvement!Sage/Quinn was definitely not my favourite threesome in the game.
It was a fun scene, but it was mostly emotionless, the mc was "used" by the girls (the good kinda used) and there was no chemistry. Most of the time he was just being dominated by Quinn, who was definitely showing off in front of Sage.
This all makes sense though, Quinn isn't about to be intimate with the mc in front of Sage (even if you're on Quinn's path, obviously no chance of intimacy if you're not friends with her), and Sage was more "wow I'm having a threesome", than "Oh fuckface, this is almost a 4!".
The scene was definitely lacking in chemistry and intimacy compared to other threesomes, like Quinn and Riona, where the mc kisses Quinn for the first time:

Or Cammy and Mona, where the girls are practically begging for it:

Even the threesome where Nicole shared the mc with Sandy, it's clear throughout the scene how much Nicole is into the mc:

Then there's the Cammy and Riona threesome.

So yeah, the Sage/Quinn threesome didn't do it for me. It could have been saved by few simple renders, right after Quinn removes the mc's ball gag:
At that point, the mc should have lowered Quinn's mask and kissed her. She was thinking about him at the moment so she would have been into it, then she could have looked panicked for a second and look back at Sage to see she didn't notice. Then the rest of the scene could have continued.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
This works well with the earlier discussion where Sage is trying to get Quinn to do something lewd with the mc, and Sage even says, "It's for fun. I know you don't kiss guys, but lick or grab him or something."
That would have majorly elevated the scene for Quinn fans. It perfectly follows the theme of Quinn's guard being lowered for the mc time and time again.
But yeah, the only kissing that took place in that sex scene was between Sage and Quinn, and that was once again Quinn being dominant and trying to shock.
So all in all, I don't think the scene was badly done, it actually made a lot of sense, but it could have been tweaked to elevate it a bit.
Story-wise, as I argued here, I think it still works, if you view it as a type of performance only, without that emotional dimension to it - whether it’s Quinn showing off, as you say, or Sage ticking something off her bucket list, the circumstances mean that neither one is in a place where they feel comfortable being open with MC about how they feel. And so it works for a Quinn who likes MC and one who “can’t stand” him.
But I also think it’s possible the explanation for why he didn’t put more nuance into the threesome might come down to time. Dev time for episode 8 was really long and he packed a lot in. I’m sure there are things he just had to cut because if he didn’t he’d probably never finish. Maybe the extended Jill and Bella scenes (and all those many many positions) explain why some other aspects weren’t as nuanced.
