She has to kill people to become strong enough to defend herself since you are trying to kill her.
You keep bringing this up without refuting the established fact that they're addicted to killing.
She is not addicted to the killing. She is addicted to the power she gets from melding which she needs to survive being hunted regardless. The power increase is what is narcotic.
Yes but to get that power she gets from melding she needs to kill, so, not really seeing your point here.
Motive makes a hell of a difference. Your casual dismission of it makes you a lousy judge...or a brilliant prosecutor (silver lining). You view of it is acting like Morinth just wanted to go a killing spree when she was released and is some sort of thrill killer getting off to making people's heads asplode. Your version of the story has no mitigating circumstance just so you can put everything else out of mind and out of sight and execute black and white morality. This situation is not black and white. There are shades of gray that you are willfully ignoring.
Think people would be more inclined to discuss that aspect of Morinths tale if some people werent so easily dismissive of the fact that her choice included killing hundreds of innocents and enslaving entire towns to her will. I'm all for the radical taking a stand for their freedom or beliefs, but you seem ok with the notion that this is perfectly fine if it means killing people who have nothing to do with the plight.
If Morinth only killed those after her, sure.. i can understand. If they showed or explained how she degraded into a monster and not just a killer, were with ya. Did she seek help for her problem? Did she try to not kill? It's all your own silver-lining. If there was evidence to help support your point of view, this thread would look different.
Your arguments are based on assumptions, as noble as they are, but theres a pointed difference when talking about ALL AY, and Morinth. What we know of Morinth in ME2 is the point here.. and at that point, she's a murderer who has done horrible things and will stop at nothing. Maybe if we met Morinth not long after her escape it's a different scenario, but there is no Darth Vader like redemption for Morinth.. only the hunt and trying to flee so she can maintain the lifestyle.
So keep calling people out for being obtuse and unreasonable to your point of view. The fact is youre wrong about Morinth, but maybe not AY, you just fail to let Morinth be what she is now, a killer.
