"Because game is only about half complete there will almost certainly be some additional penalties to whoring Qum as the game progress."

That's true but:

- Pretty much all penalties are applied to Qum's affection (and it's already possible to max her out even if you whore her), the other 3 are: Yarra affecton (not important as she pretty much always gets maxed out), -2 acceptance and -2-3 (depending if you would max her if you didn't whore her) Ginasta's affection. Extrapolating from this one would thing there's not gonna be much more penalties that actually matter.

- Penalties are pretty lineral across the game (-3 affection here, -2 affection there, -5 affection here, -5 affection there...) while extra ProN scales exponentially (5k here, 15k there, 100k here, k there)

- I don't think Sierra would want TLS players feel forced to start over by adding huge penalty that would tip the scales in favor of not whoring her.

I'd say that based on our knowledge it's logical assumtion that whoring her will stay as the most beneficial choice. And it's fine beacuse it has drawback of making player feel like shit for doing so. It's quite nice test of character.

" i mean can you compare those scumbags to Qum is like saying guilty & innocent are the same"

Just because Simon thinks they're scumbags (which may not even be true in case of bank clerk) it doesn't mean they are guilty of anything. Killing people selling alcohol in poor districts is  definitely not an acceptable behaviour. And it's not like Simon killed him just because he was scumbag and felt that killing him will make the world better, he just needed the money. Simon is not pure white character, he's gray and he's willing to cross the line for the greater good. That's part of what makes him so interesting player character.
