In every description he controls himself, knows exactly when to be rough but tender, knows how to please anyone and think of himself afterwards. In real life, there is always a point where you just give I to your urges, where you are a bit selfish. Simon, as for as long as I have played this game, never does that. And to me, that makes him implausible as a character. That is for now my only complaint, and I don't see how that makes me someone who wants to see the women abused in the game.

I have only asked if that changes at some point in the game. Please don't interpret what I am saying. :)

i strongly disagree. Simon had many flaw, some show early, other more in advance of the game. for example in the first meet whit yarra he treathen use torture on the succubus for info, if you don't call this ruthlessness i don't know how can call ruthlessness. he start like a secondary character, and even with tal he play the second man role. he don't make nothing of high or heroic. fighting for near 30 years teach him a bunch of thing. it's a little spoiler, but not a big deal, if he after all the fight and travel had reach only the 9 level isn't only a game mechanic, but there is a 'in-game reason' for it (even if you find why much later in the game) and Riala don't give the shard to the first fool hanging around, but she chose simon for his quirk and talent. in the meeting in the delgar forest riala tell "Are you going to starve yourself of sex until you die? You probably could, with your willpower.". willpower, control, understanding. these are the best weapons in the simon's arsenal. the chosens are so mighty and powerful, but they die like fly, and the somber, bitter old veteran alwasy survive. PS: you are in stineford, for sure you had see simon use the shard power the absolute minimal, this don't match whit the usual alpha male behaviour.
