Just wanted to offer my two cents! ;)

I don’t think Simon will change the way you want, but you will get to see more variety over the course of the game. He loses his self control sometimes, one time very dramatically. As more experts join the party, he starts deferring to them a lot more. You also see him indulge himself a little more in some scenes, which is a relief IMO.

Also, my two cents on character flaws: I think his being in control is actually not always a good thing. The game says this about him being too passive, but also in more serious ways. If you take a real world view of things instead of a more relaxed morality as a game, his big plan is actually a dangerous sounding “ends justify the means” scheme. Lots of people make big mistakes without ever losing control.

Sexually I have stronger opinions. This is just my two cents! I’m not trying to insult male fantasies or anything, I know they aren’t made for me!

To me it’s a very important balance that Simon is giving sexually. I don’t think his unselfishness is unrealistic, but his ability to instantly be a great lover to everyone is. But that’s in the context of a game about a dude who has a huge number of women fall madly in love with him and not deal with jealousy and all kinds of other things. If he wasn’t a really considerate and giving lover, the whole thing would leave a bad taste in my mouth. I don’t normally like harem stories, especially when the man is a jerk or just bland. But if Simon is a bit of a female fantasy, I think it just balances out all the male fantasy a bit. ;)

A FANDOM user #1, you’re not the only one who likes TLS for those reasons. Beyond lots of rape stories that aren’t for me, there’s just the fact that the whole “sex corrupts women” trope gets really old after a while. I’m okay with anyone’s fantasies! Some of them just seem silly to me. :p When somebody recommended TLS to me I didn’t play it at first because it had corruption, but it seems the game is using that with some self aware irony.
