The more I think about it, the less I like the scene with Melinda.
It started off just fine. The game had alternate conversations for the path you were on, right up until things started to get physical. Then the game suddenly funnels you into the "Be dominant" route, which is a huge disappointment for me because I always chose the "Let her lead you" option. Not just because I like it when women take control, but also because I have a strong distaste for the other stuff. I don't want him to call her a slut or a whore, and every time he says "good girl" I read it as though he were praising a dog for obeying a command. I don't find any of that appealing in the slightest.
So the sex scene didn't suit my character or my personal taste. I don't think it really fits Melinda's character either, as she is a an assertive person who likes to take charge. Seeing her act completely subservient was very unexpected and more than a little off-putting. Her strong personality is one of the most attractive things about her, so I was surprised to see it get stripped away from her the moment things got physical.
There is absolutely nothing personal about the dialogue during the sex scene. You could swap out Melinda for almost any other woman in the game and it would make just as much sense, if not more. They don't mention how much they wish they had done this sooner, or how it's even better than they imagined, or anything like that. They don't even use each others names. She calls him "Sir", while he calls her "Slut", "Whore", or "girl". It's as generic as possible.
The game did bounce back a bit afterwards when the characters got back to normal. The conversation before he leaves does change depending on your route, and the one I had suited my character. So it was just the actual sex dialogue that was out of place. It was really jarring for me, and I don't know why it was done this way. I had already experienced a similar disappointment with one of Grace's scenes, where there was only the "Be dominant" option despite her first scene having both the "Be dominant" and the "Let her lead you". Her scene in her office was so awkward and unappealing to me that I actually restarted the game and never got involved with her again. So considering that Grace and Melinda are now both lacking the choice to let them lead, I'm wondering if the game just isn't going to give us that option anymore.
I know that a lot of people like the "Be dominant" path, so I want to make it clear that I'm not against it's existence or anything, I'm just annoyed that the choices we had for most of the game have suddenly disappeared. I had been enjoying this game a lot, and I'm still very impressed with the rest of the game, but this really takes the wind out my sails.
