The reflection on the scroll is very nice. But what is still missing (IMHO) is shadows. Do you have "cast shadows" turned on, on your lights? In a fantasy style Inn I would expect very hard shadows. (from the fireplace or candles or whatever) I think it would add a lot to the scene. Usually I have cast shadows activated but shadows at .3 In these case I'd try with the default of 1 for shadows and see what happens. (Btw any self-respecting dwarf would use an Axe instead of a Mace ;-))

Nemo: That's the prettiest face I've yet seen on Dina. Did you do anything special with it? Also her smile is nice. I always have problems getting a nice smile on posette or vicky2. It usually doesn't look natural. Her shoulders don't seem so large here. It may just be the pose, but they don't stick "up", like you normally see. Did you do anything with the shoulders? Blackhearted: Sure the poses might be the same if you compare at the numbers on the dials, but the end result clearly isn't the same. And that is what counts when you compare them. For example When you place Dina's feat after each other, Dina will look more gracefully too. I understand what you mean when you say Dina is not more detailed. It might just be because the real-life model had a smoother body and thus less detail. Indeed extra detail and ultra-high-res mesh don't show here, and that wouldn't be a selling point for me either. Those points might have been hyped to much. Still can't complain about that for such a low price.

The comparison is not really fair since the poses are not the same. The only things I don't like about Dina are her face and indeed her shoulders. I didn't like the face of the real-life Dina either, so that's not suprising. And with regards to the shoulders: I already some a image in this forum where someone had turned her shoulder a bit downwards and that looked much better. Apart from that I don't see anything ugly about Dina. Especially when you consider that Vicky is much more expensive. I'm still not sure if I will buy her. With a different face I wouldn't have hesitated.
