It isnt even about the looks for me, even tho imo she is the most attractive character. Its everything else to do with her that points to her being a LI. Its the overtly physical touching, the overly protective nature, the sexualized clothes (what mom wears a see through nighty) the asshole dad character that points to a player being fine with the mom leaving him.I agree with the first half of your post. I accept DEV's decision that the mother is not LI... That's fine, but if anyone looks at this character model, what do they see? The model of a beautiful sexy 20-22 year old young girl... This is nonsense - no one believes that a mother with two adult children looks like this... Anyone with eyes can see that this character is prettier and younger , like most of the girls in the game... Be pretty and attractive if you like, but that's too much... And if this is a decent lovable mother, then please don't show her in a sexy see-through nightgown, because that will spoil the image of her as a mother. .. This character model should have been designed by LI and not depicted as a mother... The game is good and I like it so far, but I thought I should mention this too...
99/100 that character is a LI, and this is that 1/100 that the devs only response is "reasons". The only thing I can think of is that dev plans on killing her off, which would certainly be a choice from him/her.
