It's not just the pose, I think its mainly the face. Looks nothing like Octavia, and actually a little bit ugly.
It's more of perspective with the art, as the Claudia and Octavia bathroom scenes are more flat, yet look better due to it, while Karen's blackmail blowjob was at a more skewed angle in its perspective. The mask scene however on top of all that, was much more colder in its execution, as most of the scenes beforehand with Octavia felt more personal and softer with her, making this particular scene stick out in contrast.
I'd say her face/stare looks vacant in that scene, as if she's drugged or something. Perhaps the upcoming voice-over for her would breathe some life into the scene.
Which one, the deep throat at the MC's house? Not many would agree with you on that one - I know for sure that it's one of the most popular animations in the game.
It did. I especially liked the picture from beneath, with Octavia's shoes and backside. (Can't say I liked the slight smirk on her face though - again, I think it would rather fit Karen than Octavia (unless I completely misjudged Octavia's character) and the text doesn't describe anything like that, instead stating that she looks embarrassed.)
I think Karen's deep throat fits in the situation comparative to mask sex scene, as the uncomfortable placement of the scene is inkeeping with the situation of Karen essentially being dominated by MC, a role reversal of her being usually the dominant partner.
I think Octavia's subtle smirk is an indication that she actually likes being submissive to MC, intentional or not, as she follows his commands increasingly with little hesitation, from MC telling her to meet in the stall, what we can presume from MC convincing her to give him a titjob (She is hesitant here but then again she is literally giving him a titjob in a bathroom), and finally him telling her to suck him off after climaxing. It follows through as progression from MC giving her a massage and groping her, where she also became increasingly aroused and submissive to him, which could further explain her attitude in the stall.
Yep.
That's an interesting thought, and, personally, I would like if her corruption path would go in this direction ("a willing slave to MC", as a wrote earlier). But I can't help thinking that if that's the case, her expression should've been more of a humble and pleading one:
Woah, that's a great find, Cornelius! Did you find it using some tool like RpaExtract? Regardless, I've no idea why wouldn't they include this shot into the scene. She looks so delectably defeated...
I don't think the smirk is rather lewd by Octavia, but instead passionate, specially for the bathroom scene, the Second Mask visit is a separate issue from this. Karen and Shirley are rather lewd because they're dominant with MC, while Octavia is rather submissive to MC. Her faintly smirking is rather not from controlling the MC, rather it's just a sign of her sexual progression in the lead up of the events. The massage clearly shows she's sexually flustered, yet is not domineering in imposing her lust. Rather, she allows MC to take control, and when he takes control of her, she's almost allowed to be free of being reserved with her feelings. She isn't really smutty about it showing it, but I don't think it would be fair to say she wouldn't feel some erotic behavior in the situation that she's been placed in.
Yeah, I actually did use an extractor to see if the file is in the game, which it is, under images it's "D15OctaviaTitJob6", but I also found a lot of the dev's artwork online, as they usually upload art onto various networks, and it seemed convenient to quickly download. From that, I don't know if they forgot to put in or not, because looking back again in the game, the most perfect place to put it seems to be when MC asks her to clean up his jizz, a few lines before the cut away, as her expression seems perfect as a reaction shot.
The devs said that they would be doing more content for Octavia in the non-corruption route, so hopefully it will be more in tone with the two scenes prior than with the Mask visit.
Well, it is not a DAZ 3D game wherer characters always look the same. There is a an artist that draws every picture and artist are known to be quite inconsistent, especially in terms of drawning faces. I guess that's the price of hand-drawn pictures - some pictures are better, some are worse.
Come on... Are you seriously telling me that the woman in the picture is ugly?
I would ask if you believe that without any pre-requisite knowledge of the scene, if you would think the scene is a true follow up to scenes prior, specially in being consistent to how Octavia is portrayed, not on how she's drawn or looks.
It is obvious why Octavia behaves differently in the scene - she has undergone some serious sex training before that, probably brainwashing or something. Those guys at the club are supposed to know how to break women and turn them into submissive hookers.
