I finished playing the scenario and My thoughts on the Amber scene are :-
1. It was a good move to make Amber the initiator of sexual acts than Dylan. Since that makes the scene much more logical than having Dylan seduce her and making the moves while Amber just quietly accepts it. That would just look stupid and unacceptable. Though admittedly towards the end L&P really pushed the barriers even with Amber leading. It was a bit too risky and rash in my opinion to be done.
2. The part where Amber mentions that she is happy Dylan is in the kitchen with her and that she is mostly alone, i couldn't help but read it with a sad tone. The line to me felt pretty sad in the way it is written in the game. Neil is no longer as attracted to her and we see how even made a move on Sophia earlier in the game. Julia seemed very distant and in her own world and Sam too is only around to get what Amber needs. With the kids growing up, they will be less reliant on their parents and with your spouse who is supposed to be your ideal companion in this phase of life also not being as intrested, Amber's loneliness is understandable. Sophia atleast has her job to keep her occupied on top of the housework. There is nothing to fill Amber's emptiness. This was nice detail to add to the scene to make Amber's actions even more understandable.
3. As discussed before the interaction with Dylan at the pool was indeed a trigger. The thrill and excitement of doing something forbidden secretly while still infront of others, with a chance of being caught is something that sparked something inside of Amber and she wants to turn her kinda sad and boring life into a more exciting one. Her constant teasing throughout the scene was telling of what she wanted.
4. The renders, at this point it goes without saying they were fantastic. Amber looked Great and she is definitely one of the few characters in L&P's game who can look more beautiful with a smile unlike Sophia and definitely Dylan ( L&P should stop making the guys in the game smile, especially Dylan and Sam, man they look creepy )
5. The scene itself doesn't leave much room for to be unhappy in terms of writing. Amber wants to live out her desires actively instead of repressing them. If Amber makes an active advance, knowing Dylan, there is almost zero chances of him stopping it.
From an outside game perspective too it is a good approach since we are here to see Sophia's corruption not Amber's, so no point in wasting time on that and stretching it. Having Amber take command is much better with the limited number of events this storyline can have.
6. The scene though pretty hot and goes further than i expected, is not as good as my favourites in the game. It lacked the feel and atmosphere surrounding some of my favourite scenes. Far better than the previous Amber scene and the first scene in the game without Sophia that is actually hot and appealing.
So I would score it a 7.5/10.
