I know it's been discussed many, many times, but in all my years of playing ME I have not once chosen Morinth, even just to unlock Dominate and reload; my three year old install of ME2 still doesn't have dominate available. I'm currently doing my definitive Renegade trilogy playthrough but I just cannot come up with a good justification to choose the maniac killer over the bushido biotic. Pretty much every other Renegade decision in 2 can be justified, with a possible exception of Zaeed's renegade path but there is simply no good reason I can think of to choose Morinth.

Granted, the first time Samara said she is going to hunt me down after the SM I was pretty pissed and confused at her. Other than having a near full Renegade bar, nothing I had done seemed to justify her threat and warning. I thereafter vowed that she can rot on Omega from now on, but every time I've reached the decision in subsequent plays I backed down and chose Samara again, even knowing what was coming after the SM and with the conversations in ME3 if I was playing a renegade/renegon.

I think the ideal solution may be to save Samara to help the SM as she is more stable obviously, then in ME3 let her kill herself then Falere. Dickish? yes, but understandable and plausible behavior from a 'results at all costs' type. Chosing Morinth just seems.... dumb, not 'renegade'.

At the very least, save your game before talking to Morinth in her apartment. Then choose to save Morinth, then create a new save. This will unlock Dominate. Then you can reload your earlier save and choose Samara.

As for justifying taking Morinth over Samara? You are right, there is no good reason for choosing her over Samara. I suppose you could say based on cutscene evidence that they are biotically equal, and you could possibly justify Morinth's psychopathic/sociopathic nature as being better suited to a potentially dangerous Suicide Mission.

But at least unlock Dominate; it is worth a try as a bonus power.

The first time I did that mission I spent ages trying to decide, Morinth was on the run because she had never been given a choice, she was judged an abberation and locked away simply because of her genetics. Yes she was a killer, but so were the geth after the Quarians had likewise judged them to be unfit to live. I had already condemmed Samara for her discriminatory views, and it galled me that there was no way to try to reconcile them. I eventually chose samara because she was the safer option, but i felt bad about it for the rest of the game.

On my NG+ I chose Morinth, and immediately felt better, talking to her afterwards, I was glad with my choice. Until of course I saw her again in ME3...

This was on my canon Paragade.


I would however have strangled her in an instant if the game had actually let me bring a friggin gun into the bar where you have to listen to her hipster Bull ****!

Hah! That's a great little comic right there.

So I took the easy way out, saved Morinth to finally unlock dominate, then I reloaded after talking to Morinth on the ship to save Samara. I considered letting Samara die on the CB, but decided against it as her scene at the monastery is quite good. If I ever was going to have a Morinth playthrough this would have been it: Kaidan dead, Grunt thrown out the airlock (well left in the tank, I assume that's what they did cause he's never mentioned again), Legion sold to Cerberus, Thane and Mordin dead on the SM and with Kirrahe dead in ME1, I don't think I can save Ash after the coup even if I wanted to.

Yet I still couldn't justify having Morinth instead of Samara. Wish there was a little more 'grey' in that decision.
