She could vanish at the next space-station.  She's good at that sort of thing, as we already know.  Then, she'd go back to doing what Ardat-Yakshi do, and the blood of the people she kills from that point on would tacitly be on your Shepard's hands.  Like I said, it's a big risk.

You've nailed why I think it's interesting.  And it would be a (potentially big) mistake my Shepard could make, particularly at that point in the story, as messed up as she is having been dead and resurrected against her will and so on. 

... but she wouldn't say, "Morinth is more useful to me," so it's rather a non-issue I guess.

I suspect that Morinth started killing in reaction to people wanting to lock her up and take away her freedom.  Then she maybe got addicted and started to enjoy it (or maybe she was the one that took the fall for her sisters, she matured first, they got the "locked up and abstinant," and she took off).  And Samara considers her the "bravest and strongest" of her daughters, so...

I like Morinth more than I like Samara.  I like Samara, but I don't agree with the Justicar thing, and confronted with the choice, I would want to try to save Morinth, genuinely try to save and redeem her in some way.

But I can't justify the "Morinth will be more useful to me," thing.  I would have like a "she's my responsibility now" or something option.

Morinth is the youngest. And why would she kill random people on Omega as a response to people wantin to lock her up?

The awesome voice acting sold this character for me. Natalia Cigliuti has the most seductive voice ever. I hate that there's no option that lets both Samara and Morinth live. I prefer Morinth, but I trust Samara.

Not worth the risk, really.

She wants me to kill someone i trust to save her twenty seconds after she tried to kill me.

Yeah, no.

Prior to any of the squad mate loyalty missions, none of Shepard's team seem at all reluctant or likely to bolt and leave Shepard stranded on the way to the Omega 4 relay.

I would have preferred if the loyalty mechanic wasn't so cut and dried "this'll make them perform better once we're there". If we as players where ever given pause as to a characters likelihood of even going through the relay then we might have reason to pick Morinth over Samara.

Morinth might be more careful than Jack in her activities, but she's clearly just as much a thrill/challenge seeker and risk taker. Yes she might run off and do more damage in the future, but that's not your immediate concern. At that moment in time your highest priority is recruiting team members willing to attempt a suicide mission.

Unfortunately as it stands you're given a lot of time to get to know Samara and like all your other recruits, she offers no indication she might not risk the relay.

Samara does speak of her daughters and her Justicar work but if she'd just had a few moments of weakness that even suggested she might leave the team I might have had an easier time recruiting Morinth.

I also find Morinth's character interesting, as an antagonist to Samara. Personally, I feel no sympathy for her because she's become a murderer who chooses her victims based on whatever her appetite happen to be at the time. She kills people for the crime of being creative (something they cannot help being), as that is what attracts her.

Samara is most certainly a killer, but a more predictable one: if you don't forcibly and obstinately obstruct justice (something you have control over, unlike creativity), you're essentially safe. I can sympathize with the choice she made and the obvious pain it's causing her, even if I do not agree with the concept of law not being tempered with mercy. I understand Morinth had to be stopped.

Is Morinth a victim of her genes? She certainly suffers from something she has no control over. Did she have an option between killing innocents or not? I believe she did, at least in the beginning. The compulsion sets in AFTER the first murder (or the first few, it isn't explicited). Bottom line, the first death wan't the result of addiction.

I DO sympathize with Samara's daughters and what Morinth (Mirala) used to be, before she became the monster we meet on Omega. There is little left of Mirala in Morinth so, in a sense, you could say Samara's daughter died centuries ago.

Morinth and Samara are the chaotic/lawful sides of the same coin and are both tragic archetypes.
