From what I read in this thread,several people find Simon's capabilities,like his knowledge,unbelievable and think he's so perfect that they as far as describing him as the perfect aplha male.Now this is just my own opinion but not only is he nothing but perfect,he is PERFECTLY AVERAGE (sorry for the caps,just wanted to emphasise those 2 words).His knowledge is perfectly reasonable considering his years and experiences.This is a slight spoiler,but later in the game,Mestan says that same thing (that Simon is average).But he changed due to Riala giving him the shard.And in my opinion,it wasn't because of any special talent or skill that Riala did that.I think that she was impressed by what Simon had accomplished while being average. And also,that she believed that because Simon was so average,gaining the immense power that the shard gives wouldn't change him fundamentally like it did to others (Incubus King).

As for his sexual prowess,he may seem,to quote Camille,like a human dildo to many (I laughed at that by the way,good one) but Simon has an abountance of sexual experience because of his overly sexually active dead wife (Wendis) and after losing Wendis,he sees sex as a means to accomplish things,whether that is releasing stress,persuading someone or curing someone.So it's not that he doesn't have sexual preferences,he just hasn't got someone to perform them with after the death of Wendis.Though,later in the game,that changes because he has found someone to perform them with (his whole harem,who he loves).

As for his weaknesses,people mentioned things like his self control being a double edged sword,his inability to dream big or his judgement which can sometimes be interpreted as cowardice.In my opinion,those comments are not wrong from a certain prospective but not right from another.I prefer to characterize those things as qualities,skills,traits or characteristics because they are neutral by themselves and become either strengths or weaknesses based on their use.Simon seems perfect to many simple because he has become proficient at changing those traits to strengths and not weaknesses depending on each situation he's in.

I kind of deviated from the original question because people commented on many things and I wanted to throw my two cents as well.But to summarize,Simon doesn't exactly get 'corrupted' like you want.But he comes to trully love each person of his harem,so as the game progresses,he slowly lets go of his inhibitions around them,whether that is as companions (mentally bonding with them on a deeper level) or as lover (physically bonding with them and doing thing that he likes too).I'll close with my opinion of Simon.I happen to relate very closely to Simon,because he is neither the sex-crazed,lust-filled dick that raped everything that moves and puts his dick in every hole or slit he sees,and nor is he the white knight on a white orse wearing white armor that exists only in fairytails.He is simply very thoughful of other people,especially those close to him,and acts very much like any normal human (a thoughtful one at least).And he also has desires in which he indulges after he finds someone to do so with (harem).

That's all.Sorry for talking so much and thanks for your time.
