Samara may be bound to a black and white code in a world that doesn't conform that way, but she doesn't hunt her victims the way Morinth does, make them love her and then suck the soul out of them. >_>

True, she just hunts them, then necksnaps or headasplodes them.

^ Exactly, much less painless and tragic for everybody.

No, she's just willing to murder innocent people (see: police on Illium) because they act contrary to her silly Code. Dean's Shepard-Samara-Joker thought experiment is also useful in showing Samara as the monster she is.

What is going through peoples head anyway? You have a whole crew of monsters, assasins, outlaws, xenophobes and mercs. Why is this one so special?

Well, she's kind of a Space Succubus, so... yeah. >_>

It's a part of her Code, the central aspect of her life.  Not sure what you want her to do about it; she's already giving her a day (which is the most the code allows).  Besides, she was killing Eclipse Mercs, who gain their armor by committing a murder. >_>

I'm not familiar with this thought experiment, though I assume you mean Dean the Younger?  I've seen him posting around here and there.

It was painted so black-and-white, as such a non-choice, that I actually want to see it reversed. It all depends on the direction Morinth's character takes in ME3. She is no more beyond restitution or positive development than Samara's moral character is beyond obfuscation.


Absolutely! :D

@AdmiralCheeze - yeah, like John Wayne Gacy was "incredibly selfish".

You people who rationalize siding with a serial killer disturb me.

====

As for Samara -

All those calling her a monster probably punched a news reporter twice. ((and if not that - sided with a serial killer))

So I really don't consider their opinions at all valid anyway.

====

Shepard kills people on the suspicion of being dangerous.

====

Edit: Oh, and no - you won't be punished for anything. Having Morinth be your super BFF will be unremarkable.

There are quite a few of us. :)

Soo what does that have to do with preference for a different killer?

Not my Shepard.

You've used that one before.  And no, not everyone who acknowledges that Samara isn't any better actually took Morinth over her.  I did, but I know at least one who didn't.  

Also siding with Samara who would get involved in affairs that don't concern her really doesn't look any better.  Of course I'm referring to her (I really want to imagine her being giddy when she says this too) comment on Tuchanka.

Does that make your opinion invalid as well?  Guess you're not that much better off then.  Guess we parallel these two tragic characters. ;)

I haven't called her a monster as such, but I'm as Paragon as Paragon can be. Cut me in half and you'll find the wings emblazoned on my heart.

So you're saying that you've never sided with Jack, Thane, Zaeed, etc? There are plenty of serial killers on your squad in mass effect 2, just because they are not as "evil" as morinth doesn't mean they aren't killers

It depends on how Morinth acts in Mass Effect 3. Maybe she'll choose to be helpful, or maybe she'll go back to her old lifestyle.

Lol not as evil? 

Jack always feels good about killing random people.
Thane kills, because he has no free will or something. for some reason he is a gun that can be held by anyone.
But well, Zaeed is just working for money.

I didn't intend to put you to silence. lol. 

But your arguments don't have a solid ground. It is an opinion not a fact.

I missed the part in the story where I could choose to not bring them along.

@D.Kain - I do my utmost not to state 'facts' on the internet - but that being said, I believe absolutely in what I believe in (that is, until I no longer believe in it) - some call it assertive, others arrogant - but again, just more opinion.

What the hell? Morinth is hideous. She acts all mature and worldly while in fact she's driven by nothing except basic animal instincts.

If she looks, sounds or behaves anything remotely like Leliana I'd save her without a second thought. As she is now I have to try hard not to vomit every time I go through the scene in her apartment.

Lol. 

Hey I also just had this little scene playing in my head:

So a guy get's really pissed of at his neibor. Goes into the house, opens his table and pulls out Thane. Then they both go to the neibor and when Thane brakes neibors throat the guy rubs him with a towel and leaves ther. :lol:

No I actually respect your opinion. I am also waiting to see if Morinth will still be good to me on ME3.

That's taste man. ;) I like Morinth's looks and voice.
