are the scenes NECESSARY? No. But they add to the experience for those who wish to explore that in their fantasy experience. That being said, I do think the sexual encounters should have options based on fetishes, relationship preferences, how much you want to see, and whether you want fade to black or full on porn. I don't expect detailed implementation of everything I just listed, but giving people the option to enjoy video game sexuality and romance at their leisure will help with your critiques.
