Nothing is ever as simple as first presented.

I'm just on Samara's loyalty mission on my Tali-romance playthrough before Mass Effect 3, and I found myself facinated again by the plot. I sympathize with Morinth, because she was a child forced to flee into a harsh universe (and despite her own 'addiction' likely was victimized a great deal herself before she got streetwise) and that fact for all we know shaped her just as much as her addiction. A choice between climbing out of the gutter with your own mother wanting your head, or a life of enforced isolation. Yet, by ME2 she is seemingly an irredeemable monster, so generally dies in my games. I still think she is a fantastic character, for what ISN'T shown.

I also find Samara and the Justicar's interesting - but admittedly not nearly so much as her children.

What REALLY interest me are her other two daughters. And if they are really as docile and accepting of their 'fates' as Samara makes out.

Asari live a LONG time.

I'm wondering. If you help Morinth, or Samara dies on the mission, or even if she just takes a bullet in her own duties at any time... will the other two daughters be inclined to stay put? Perhaps they are the smarter two, simply biding their time until their biggest 'threat' is no longer that. Samara does point out that Morinth was the wild and adventurous one... but perhaps she is under-estimating her other daughters.

It's clear that even if there is other persuit - only Samara has been dedicated enough to stay on the case of Morinth, and even then she ended up needing Shepard's help. If Samara's other daughters were to escape, mother gone, they would likely be free to do as they wished almost unopposed.

I doubt we will ever know, unless ME3 has a substantial role for Morinth if you chose her /or/ Samara died and you get to meet her daughters, or perhaps a later game has one of them. Still, i'm curious what others think about this?

I dont even dare to think myself capable of imagining a life of a thousand years in isolation. I doubt any human being would honestly be able to. I can just guess that in the 400 years they've been in exile, they somewhat got used to it. Finally reciving news from whatever source about their third sister's (or their mother's) death could tip them out of this state though. That, and the whole galaxy is in danger scenario...

That's an interesting idea, one I hadn't really thought about. But I hope Bioware doesn't do that in the third game, or ever, for that matter. That would just be too... easy. Oh, they're Ardat-Yakshi, therefore they're just biding their time until they get a chance to turn evil. Why can't they just plain not be evil?

The one thing that didn't make sense to me... and maybe I'm wrong on this, but I seem to recall the two living together, you'd think one would've killed the other...

Samara calls Morinth the "smartest and bravest" of her daughters... which does not bode well for the other two, because Morinth was a pretentious **** who murdered an insecure teenage girl.

Depending on what you're thinking, that's either sororicide or incest.
