I haven't waited 8 years obsessing over this title, but just played the game as it currently is recently, in one go. I can say that lacking unhealthy attachment or weird expectations I've enjoyed Ellie's scene, thankyouverymuch. It came as a result of steady buildup through most of the story so far and hardly rushed, but more of a right conclusion at the point it happens, given Ellie's character established in the game.Ellie's scene was rushed and no one enjoyed it. Dylan/Amber scene was also rushed. We are all here for the story first and then sex. Without a proper build up if sex is introduced it won't be nice.
Dylan/Amber is another matter, since those two barely interact. But it's also completely different in this regard from Dylan/Sophia, as this pairing occurs aplenty.
