Yep, definitely hoping to see Maggie start being more involved in the things in the MC's life - I'm sure the devs have that planned to be integrated at some point in the future as it just makes sense as the relationships get more serious, etc.

I actually think that it is quite possible.
Jasmine talked up the MC to Allison in latest episode. Speaking about how he improved, what he does for his students and how he trains with Ham to be good at racing and to win the events for Lily. This should tell her how serious the MC is about everything and that he grew as a person. The MC is taking on a big risk and Allison finding out more about it should make her more curious and wanting to see for herself.
Allison believes that MC's car doesn't like her. I'm blanking on the name of the car, I think it was Delilah or something like that. What a better way of showing her that it is not true than winning a race together? The MC inviting her, Allison showing her support and that she appreciates what he is doing could be a great moment for them which would bring them one step closer together.
Act 2 needs to be big for her path, unless they decide keep dragging it out at the current pace across 5+ acts and lose any interest people have in it. It needs to make it clear that the MC still has feelings for her and that he wants to try and win her back. They can keep working on her resentment and at the same time work on the MC too. The best case scenario is that first episode establishes he still has feelings for her and hasn't thrown in the towel and second episode we see him being more proactive and trying to get closer to her. To start winning her over, not because of Lily but because he still loves her. The Lily excuse can't keep going on forever. Her path actually needs to start somehow and so they obviously need more moments together... racing serves as a great opportunity to me.

I still don't think she will ride with him, at least until their kid is (semi)-healthy again. Who would care for the kid if she gets arrested for illegal streetracing? Worst case scenario, she will lose her daughter.

The only scenario I could see where Allison ends up in the car with Jake racing is if Wyatt is physically after her and Jake needs to race at the same time. Otherwise, there's no way. She can't afford to get hurt or have her reputation affected by being arrested or connected to illegal racing. Besides, Jasmine is already the "car" girl, no reason to have all the LIs do it. I do think Allison's route needs to pick up the pace a bit but hopefully the next episode/chapter takes care of that.

Sure, that is reasonable. I think that just being there and showing her support is big enough and makes a lot of sense too. They are in it together. Maybe she could bond more with Coop while MC is racing

If you did everything right, their current relationship seems to have went to at least a "I am smitten with you but I don't want to show it too much." stage. Which is major progress given your first (in game) meeting showing the resentment, anger and hate. The fact that she ultimately stays in bed with MC when he falls asleep instead of sleeping on the floor or a chair shows that while she's hesitant, she's actually beginning to move past all of that resentment. Not completely or *that* far yet, but it's a lot of progress given MC's major mess up pre-game.
What makes her the main gal for me though, is because of how much of a slow-burn the relationship is intended to be. And the warm, heartfelt looks she occasionally gives makes it all worth the while too.
This is all, of course...Just my opinion™

Sure, I mean each to their own.
When I play these games I wanna know that the MC is into the character I wanna pursue too. Yea, Allison is a slow burn but at the same time I think that one of the most important things is telling the player that there is still hope and even though the MC hurt her a lot, he still has feelings for her. This doesn't really happen and so her path is just kind of half empty.. undercooked.
I like her as a character, she is well done but the game doesn't sell me her path. It counts on my desire to win her over by giving me nice scenes with her and expecting me to ignore that the MC doesn't progress at the same time. As of ending of the first act, the MC remains uninterested and the outcomes of our choices went completely over his head.
I just think that the current pacing there is too slow even for a slow burn type of thing and I doubt any Allison fans wanna wait till act 4 to see the MC fight for her and then only have their back together happy moments only in epilogue.

She still has the problem she might be arrested for just being there, if only for a short while. I have no idea if it's illegal to watch an illegal race on-site or not.Sure, that is reasonable. I think that just being there and showing her support is big enough and makes a lot of sense too. They are in it together. Maybe she could bond more with Coop while MC is racing

As MC said to Cooper when he parked in an illegal spot outside of the racing place:
"We're here to gamble, might as well start now."
Point being, those places are not often checked by the cops and "Honest" Toby is a pretty smart, cautious, careful dude. He's a bit arrogant and witty but he's not dumb. He wouldn't be that rich or influential if he was dumb. (Imo)

Yeah it's illegal to just be there so the audience can be arrested.
I think he pays some cops to not patrol a certain area during race time. This could work as long as no one wrecks or hurts someone.

None of those things are mutually exclusive. Some of the most successful people I've met have been dumber than a dumb bag full of dumb things (to the point I wonder how they get dressed on their own never mind hold down a job etc). Intelligence and common sense has never been an indicator of success and/or wealth.

Just because they're not checked often doesn't make them legal. As far as we've seen Ally so far, she does not want to take any legal chances because of their daughter, no matter how small.

She doesn't even have to be arrested. Her picture in the media being connected to this would do damage to her reputation and probably cause the board of directors at her job to try to force her to resign to save face. I don't think the story will go that direction though. Seems like the dev is happy keeping the women in their various arenas.
Nah the MC is not uninterested at the end of the current content, its more like he doesnt dare to hope (because allie told him 10000x times to not even think about it lol)
Thats why all the other girls (Jasmine, Natalya, Vanessa) have to point out to the MC that allie indeed seems interested despite her words. Jake himself has convinced himself (or got convinced by allision) that he wont get another chance and is so sure about it that he doesnt even pick up on things like Allison wearing their engagement ring all the time and so on.

All it takes is him giving in one time and saying something about reconnecting with Allie on a bad day and she'll close up and reset all his progress. So, at least where we are in the story, he's not looking to do that. Allie will have to be the one to make the big move.
Agreed.
But i feel like her "You will soon be coming home to mommy and daddy" to lily - which she only says on her route - is half of that already even tho Jake wont notice it
If I want to get spanking scenes where I am the one spanking others, do I need to play with low personality or is it possible on the good guy route as well?

Which is what the moments they shared through the first act should help with and why they are there.
At the start of the game she absolutely does still hate him but as we are making the choices, she is getting softer towards the MC and the interactions/outcomes change. Their whole dynamic does.
I can take the moment when Allison invites him for a dinner at their house. They have a good time, they reminisce about the past and she allows him to sleep there on the couch. Most importantly she kisses him on the lips before going to sleep. To give credit to the MC here, he leaves a nice note in the morning when he leaves. If a person that I think hates my guts invites me for a dinner, kisses me and allows me to sleep over then I start questioning whether she still does hate me the very next day because what I thought could never happen just happened.
To dare to think, to show me that not all hope is lost and he still has feelings for her should have been the end status of act 1 on her path. As I said, he might find it hard to do something about it, be scared but I will understand. The path then will actually have more depth and choices where I decide to get closer to her will carry way more meaning.
I thought that the game would have like 5 to 6 acts but found out yesterday that only 3 are planned which makes me question this approach to her path even more.
Just my thoughs anyway. As I said I don't really have a favorite LI in the game and if I had to make a choice, it would probably be Veronica.
