The beauty of this AVN is that it defies typical AVN porn logic.
Emmeline and Rockford having sex after only knowing each other for a few weeks comes across as very natural. To get that far, Rockford - via player choices - must conform to the man of her dreams - upstanding, loves children, and values family. Once those things click into place, Emmeline wants Rockford's babies.
Impious Monk set up the mansion scene with Jamie (on her path) wonderfully.
I think a lot of the initial negative feedback stems from players expecting AVN porn logic to come into play with Jamie's reaction, and IM absolutely feed into that expectation with the way he set the whole scene up from the very beginning of the game:
1. Jamie flirting with Rockford so obviously that only dense Rockford couldn't interpret the signals (I think Jamie handcuffing Rockford and having her father hold the shotgun during the wedding is the only way Rockford would have got the message /s).
2. Rockford's friends urging him to date Jamie.
3. Rockford slowly coming round, opening up, and admitting his feelings for Jamie to himself.
4. The interrupted conversation between Jamie and her mother, where Jamie's mother tells her, "Honey, if that's how you really feel then there's only one choice you can really make. You don't want to spend the rest of your life regretting--" [this could reasonably be interpreted as Jamie regretting not pursuing a romantic relationship with Rockford, rather than not taking the job offer]
5. Rockford telling Jamie his true feelings and FINALLY going in for the kiss.
6. Jamie closing her eyes in anticipation of the kiss...
This is the point where most players on the Jamie path expected AVN porn logic to kick in - despite the warning signals sprinkled throughout the AVN - with Jamie kissing Rockford, telling him she's waited on this her entire life, and turning down the job offer. They then fuck repeatedly over subsequent episodes and live happy ever after.
Instead, Impious Monk pulls off a masterful bait & switch, so we get Jamie saying, "Stop". Like I said, the warning signs of this outcome are sprinkled throughout the AVN, just like the Ep 4 cliffhanger was kinda forewarned with a repeated focus on Jamie's incest trial and the multiple discussions between characters around the i-topic.
The only thing missing from the Jamie rejection scene was a sound effect of a stylus needle scratching across a record just before she uttered that chilling word. : )
