I can only really guess based on where it's got to now. I think a poly ending with Mall/Jaye, solos with both of them and I suspect a throuple ending with Mall & Peanut. Apart from that with any others, who knows, but there won't be a harem.
so nothing solo for the ceo lady or the milf in the pool,or the chef tanaka?

You know it's not completely finished right? There is endings still coming.
Do you believe the endings will offer what the latest chapter failed to (for those who are disappointed)? It will most likey be kinetic/rushed/shorter. The endings will not replace a full chapter.

Like Tony said, but I'd add, the chance of CEO lady is 0.000001% IMO,
Actually, based on the last phone call between Alex and Lisa (CEO), the chance for them to (continue to) be together is 100%.
as she's an LI in their next game.
Yeah, with a different mc :rolleyes: It would have been better if their next game was a sequel to CS, with the same mc, who can continue what he and Lisa had in CS, or pursue Tara ('cause she'll also be in that one) or just choose any of those other girls.

the story understood as events came to a close (disappointingly for me), but how the relationships will move forward is still ababstance a mystery so the epilogues have their task.

Peanutbutter is completely gone, whether and how she will actually be present in Mallory's eventual ending remains to be seen.

similarly the contested Jaye/Mallory polyamorous relationship how will it be? for now we have only had the one scene at the pub, but we know nothing about what they said to each other and how things are.

also I think there will be a negative ending in which MC is left alone or is consoled by some sidegirl (unlikely Lisa and Tara)

Obviously no idea how things will actually turn out, but my expectation would be something similar to Bare Witness. There, you made all the choices up to Chapter 4 and at the end of that, you would be on one of a number of paths. Chapter 5 then served as the epilogue, had no choices (except one minor option at the start and one negligable choice on one of the paths) and basically took you through a render and animation montage of the next few months or however long, and the development of the chosen relationship.

That wouldn't make sense.

Yeah also played that one, and just like in that one, I expect the relationship to continue not to end abruptly for no reason...

an ending in which Mc will end up with neither Jaye nor Mallory will be there for sure. i don't believe in a completely negative and sad ending, though; there are so many sidegirls left behind (Fiona, mom and daughter at the lodge in the mountains, the bartender/taxi driver...)

AVNs tend to be consoling, not punitive

Yeah, this is set up as there is a possible ending to Ep9 that has both Jaye and Mallory ditching MC. It was said that some of the side girls will have scenes in the epilogue, so there will be some sort of "solo" ending that includes them, even if it's not a typical "ending" with each girl.

I agree the game isn't going to be punitive, but it's possible to burn bridges with almost all the side girls if you play your cards right (or wrong, depending on how you look at it).

If you never respond to Fiona, ignore Hank and don't hook up with Erica, tell Linda to get back with her husband, ask Tara to stop helping you with Jaye, stonewall Lisa, and find Tanaka's parlor trick unimpressive, I don't see any of them showing up in the MC's sunset. I'm not sure about Bianca, maybe she's being kept in play as the fallback?

I don't consider Lisa and Tara as they are already committed to the new game, so I don't expect anything.

on Erika you're probably right, but with Linda and Fiona there was only one choice that then yielded no outcome, so it's hard to say that it could be so definitive, to me both seemed like 2 paths sketched out and then forgotten (like the promise of sex with the bartender). Linda may have tried to make things right with her husband and still have failed

but Fiona is my No. 1 candidate; she even reappeared for no real reason in the final scene

Technically true, but I'm still skeptical. If the player wanted Linda to get back with her husband, what sort of reward is it to terminate the marriage and 'legitimize' the affair? Likewise, if the player refused to engage Fiona at every opportunity, why would said player be happy to see her again? Are either of those scenarios really preferable to the MC remaining an eligible bachelor?

Then again, the devs still pulled the old switcheroo with the open relationship, so maybe they'll ignore the player's input and stick with porn tropes for the epilogues. But I sure hope not!

I really liked this comparison. Both, Bare Witness and Chasing Sunsets feels like perfectly prepared undercooked meal. You can't say it's bad but it is not good either, one key element is missing and that leaves terrible taste. :unsure:

Okay, but no one plays for mc to remain alone, barring completism. Normally it is a mistake or a run that was dedicated to a character that proves unavailable. It is a consolation prize, so that the player's choices are not central is acceptable. And anyway I don't recall an explicit closure with Fiona, the issue of the custom dildo doesn't seem so definitive to me.

I don't think 90% is a correct assumption. Everyone who played this game and read the story completely has to admit a harem ending wouldn't fit in. It goes against the shown personalities of Jaye, Mallory, Lisa, etc. The players should be thankful for the throuple ending, because that's a fan service obviously. It doesn't fit either.
