Morinth creeps the hell out of me. Evil can be awesome sometimes, and Morinth has a spectacular voice/personality, but even ignoring the whole serial killer space vampire thing something about her just rubs me the wrong way. Perhaps its the way she tries to mind control Shepard, or that smile if you try to meld with her after the SM. She is an interesting character though, I am curious about her cameo appearance in ME3.

Anyone have good songs for Morinth? (Music that relates to her character somehow. Maybe even a theme.. she was the only squadmate in ME2 without a piece on the soundtrack named after her).

I might search for some myself.

This song (Evoke by After Forever reminds me a bit of Morinth, though it somewhat de-personalizes her.

I think Poison by Alice Cooper could have been written about Morinth, I think the Groove Coverage version would suit her.

 I had trouble recruiting Morinth. Everytime I had to choose between Samara and Morinth, my X- Box denied me the Morinth option. I must have done something wrong.

Nope, you need to resist morinth's 3 dialogues, as in use the Paragon/Renegade option three times.

Do I have to use Renegade or Paragon options, or is that unimportant?

Both work, but the score required is pretty high.  I'd recommend doing the mission before most other LMs.

Paragon/Renegade score, and Loyalty Missions. The Blue/Red dialogue options that require a certain number of paragon or renegade points. Thing is, in ME2 the system is kinda weird and its based on how many total points you could have attained thus far. The further along in the game you are, the more paragon/renegade points you could have acquired, making it harder and harder to attain the necessary percentage of points to pick the Blue/Red dialogue options.

Weird, indeed. Thanks for explaining.

It looks like, her qualities that others don't like, are the same reasons I chose her over Samara. That and Samara and her judicial code.

Oddly enough, that and Kasumi's remark after the suicide mission at least suggests that your crew would be fine with her on board.  I would have liked to know how that would work.

I like Morinth as a character and I love her Dominate move...
I also hope she will get a big enough role in the game

having morinth would be cool. also, I thought by the time she died, she'd probably have killed less people than her mother would have.

If Morinth is as selective as Samara said, I have no reason to believe that Morinth's death count is smaller than Samara's.  I'd even go on to say Morinth's killed significantly less people than Samara.

Morinth's victims are pretty much that—innocent victims. Samara's are enemy combatants. Samara doesn't just kill anyone who gets in her way, that's a misconception. She's duty-bound to intervene if she sees innocents coming to harm, even if it puts her current mission in jeopardy.

There are two ways how you treat her during her romance, and I think at the end her dialogue/personalty changes on the way you treated her.

At least there is a very cathartic crying of her at the end.


You can have the full Jack romance (dubbed the "paragon" Jack romance) or the "Renegade" quickie, but it doesn't really change her personality. I'm sure if you just had a quickie with her she won't count as your LI for ME3, but I don't know if it actually changes her (although in ME1 you can change Ashley's, Kaidan's, and Garrus's viewpoints about certain things. And in DA:O you can "harden" Leliana or Alistair.)

We don't know what Morinth's body count is.  We don't even know if they were all innocent.  The villagers could have been giving Morinth their criminals for all we know.  We do know, however, that Samara wiped out a village of adults and left only orphans.  Then she walked away knowing that it wasn't her problem anymore.  A mother who makes statements of regret robbed Asari children of their own mothers... all so she could have a chance at killing her daughter who in light of the village massacre is probably considerably tame in comparison.  Those children were innocent.  They didn't deserve what they got, but they got it and they probably watched while it happened.

I saved Morinth only for meta reasons; Dominate.

Not that she isn't an interesting character, i'll be looking forward to her development in ME3 , if any. That said the Samara/Morinth choice isn't a choice at all ; One is a trained combatant , the other a glorified bar fly. Perhaps if the introductions had been made differently , it would have been worth considering, as it is there is no logical reason to side with her. That said ,I'd probably end up spacing both of them after the Collector mission regardless.

Read the title of the thread as "Dangerous Lesbians" for a second there.

I picked Morinth because her mom is a bore mixed with a snooze and topped with a yawn. Yes, it's shallow. But Samara is just frigid.

It all seemed like such a non-choice, anyway. So I said screw it and took what seemed to be painted so blatantly as the wrong choice. Morinth.

"This is going to be fun."

I doubt they're fine with it so much as they don't know what to do about it. The only person on board who would stand a chance against Morinth is Jack, and the two of them fighting on board the ship would be...bad.

I can never decide if Morinth actually is lonely or if she really doesn't care so long as she gets her fix. I can't imagine she'd ever give up killing but maybe she would like a friend. Most of Shepard's friends are murders anyway so why not? Maybe Shepard could help Morinth, get her to seduce only bad people (like Dexter) since she needs to kill.
