So, was anyone else let down by her complete absense from ME3? Yes, I'm aware of that one moment in that one mission but I don't think it counts. Attaching her name to an identical mook is hardly her character appearing in the game, nor is a 1 paragraph email in my inbox. I wouldn't have been so let down if it wasn't *so* difficult to let Morinth survive in the first place (ME2 Spoiler: you need almost 100% Paragon/Renegade), and there hadn't been so much foreshadowing over the act. Samara's matter-of-fact: "you will regret your decision" rings pretty hollow now... and there was actually good cause to sympathize with Morinth (which is why I assume Paragons also had the option to save her).

I suppose I just imagined more of a resolution for Morinth... either her ultimate redemption by a Paragon, or her serving as a nightmarish sexual assassin for a Renegade's war campaign.

Agree/disagree?

I just played the Ardat Yakshi mission on renegade (where I had killed Samara and taken on Morinth) and was surprised not to see her there. Then I went online and read how she "appears" in the game and was sad. I don't think it would have been that hard to include her in that mission. It's not even a bad idea having her become a Banshee per se, but with some storyline behind it, maybe having her trasnform in fron of you in that mission, it could have been a lot cooler and more significant.

I know right? I'm starting to wonder if Jessica Chobot edged Natalia Cigliuti out of the voice acting budget

[Guldhun2]

Bioware knows its priorities. Chobot > all other characters we've met in ME1/2.

XD Oh yeah. 'Cause if there's one thing people who love immersive, story based games wanna see, it's trampy video game journalists.

I think it's OK, the way it is. I was pleasantly surprised and found the re-encounter quite creepy.

[Overule]

I would've reacted better to it if she was anything *but* a standard Banshee. I mean she just kinda shows up, dies pretty quickly (by this point in the game your weapons and powers should be pretty beastly), and that's it. Could've at least been a mini-boss or some such to give some weight to the whole encounter...

They weren't going to bring back a relatively expensive VA for a character most could care less about. And that's their own fault (most not caring less about her). They hardly even tried to give you good reason to recruit her, most just see her as t3h 3vhulz.

[Overule]

I guess so. Shame too, I enjoyed having her around. She was like Shepard's dirty little secret. Also her unique ability was good fun >.>

Too true. As I said in another thread, rather than run away from the character they should have had her survival have a major impact on the outcome of 3. Sure there would still be some people with a stick up their *** about the whole "serial killer" thing, but everyone else would be working towards a Morinth playthrough if the best outcome required her survival.

[Overule]

Well spoken. I mean Zaeed, Grunt, Wrex and Thane are all *professional* murderers and nobody gets their panties in a bunch, but Morinth kills a handful of reckless waifs on Omega and suddenly it's a big deal

Seriously though, I did have real sympathy for her character. Born into what's basically a lifelong prison sentence, and why? Because if she were allowed self determination she might grow beyond the control of a society that wishes she didn't even exist in the first place. Yes she was dangerous, but she wasn't a rabid animal. She was useful, witty, sexy and delightfully morbid.

It's a shame she was handled this way. She was my favorite character in ME2. I wanted her to meet her sisters, and to help me fight the reapers. What pisses me off more is that Samara got a better treatment, that is a little unfair.

[Heimdall]

I laughed when she appeared.

Shepard has to be a bit stupid to recruit her honestly. Even a renegade Shepard is exchanging a vengeful Justicar that wants to kill him for a psychotic serial killer that also wants to kill him. She was never much of a serious character to me because of that...

Then why give the option if you're going to half ass it anyway?

Because most people don't care much what happens to her?

Then it's a bad joke. I would crack Samara's skull any day for Morinth. I would make that choice if I was Shepard for real.

I never even noticed her on my renegade playthrough.

-To me she seems like a logical and very good asset. Her mum would likely attempt to kill you if you take certain renegade choises, once released from her vows. Morinth is great at seducing people and then leaving them dead with little physical evidence to the fact. That makes her an excellent covert asset. Seducing and offing certain people in the game in order to promote your cause would have made more sense. Even if she got her cover blown or got caught it would be better storytelling. Instead we get yet another lazy "cram this into the story so the fools can get closure" story plot.

Its just lame.

Odd, I didn't either. Was there any special lead up or was one of the Banshees just a named banshee that pops up and dies without fanfare? I was a vanguard for that run and by the time I reached the missiles I was just charge/nova spamming all over the battlefield, so I didn't really see the names of any individual in particular... 

Shame to have missed her, though. I remembered seeing all the letters she tried to write to her sisters on Liara's terminal.

[Irx]

Don't you dare judge their artistic vision, you ungrateful crowd!
I'm sure there is some deep philosophic idea behind this, and we'll soon have a youtube theory as a proof of this genious moment.

[Roamingmachine]

The emails you get in Liara's terminal clearly show that Morinth cared deeply for her sisters, even to the point of making up a heroic death for her mother whom she despised beyond anything.She should have been at the monastery trying to rescue her sisters.I blame lazy writing.She was a choice like many before her.

[darthnick427]

I laughed really hard actually
