Giving a bonus to the bad choice is what makes it a dilemma in the first place tbh. Also, if it doesn't have consequences, what's the point of having a choice? It's a dilemma because the bad choice have a better outcome.

It's Wendis that thinks with the Talion Law. And Simon doesn't say that Estaven deserves it, he says that he can't save him. So Simon's motivation seems to be about Wendis' sanity, not retribution. Is Wendis' sanity worth torturing someone, taken that he's an absolute asshole? In a way it's reminiscent of the Varia choices. (Except the bad choice didn't have superior outcomes, so I like this one better.)

My point being, the torture choice ain't broken, don't fix it.
