 Only 100 pages left :D and I made a substantial misreading, I wrote what it is in the discussion group thread since I don't want to derail this thread again.

I just received the book, in the evening.  Delivery usually isn't this slow in the city.  I'll check out what you wrote.

I have a question for all of you. Why do you like Samara's character?

For me, it's because she is calm, regal, and paragon like my Shep. She is the only one who is immune to Shepard's charms and her character is consistent throughout.

Also, the justicar ideal where everyone faces justice regardless of wealth or status appeals to my mindset that if you do wrong, you should be punished. Although I do believe in a moral gray zone, the code still is very similar to my beliefs.


Because despite the having to kill her daughter, she's one of the few that Shep doesn't have to try and fix and isn't a drain on her energy.  Sorry but Garrus is a huge energy drain to me in ME2, Tali is alot better this time around but her fixation on the quarian's being right to try and kill the geth without knowing what their intentions were really irks me personally.  It's circular logic without any real backing.

I like Samara, its a relief to sit and talk to her.  Mordin is my second favorite, probably for many of the same reasons.

How much of Samara's character do you think Morinth is responsible before? We know from her dealings with the collectors she still had morals, they weren't as strong as they are now. Maybe she was a fun loving person, as most asari maidens are, but still had that strong moral responsibility?

Considering she killed her entire mercenary unit to stop them from turning over slaves to the Collectors... I would say Yes she still had that strong moral responsibility.  I would also say that she was indeed fun loving and it would have been interesting to have met her as a maiden.

Is it because she said "If I were a maiden I would have you on the floor right now" ? ;)

One thing I've noticed is that the asari don't seem to equate the expression of sexuality with immorality, so I can't appraise the effect Samara had on Morinth from a human perspective.

As was mentioned, Samara did have a strong sense of morality as a Maiden, as she killed the crew of the mercenary ship she was working on, once she found out that they were transporting slaves.  I wish we were told more about exactly what happened.  Did she find out, and then object to what they were doing?  Did they threaten her life after she objected?  If she killed them in defense of her life, then it seems justified.  Did they threaten to kill her to shut her up, because they didn't want her crisis of conscience to interfere with their ability to get paid for the job?  Still, done in the defense of her life.  If she found out about the slaves, and then immediately went about killing the crew just for that, it would definitely give us an insight in to why Samara is so forceful with her enforcement of the Code.

Well that is part of it :whistle:  but also she mentions that she mated, killed or simply danced the night away.  That sounds about like the typical asari maiden to me.  :devil:

I'm pretty sure she mentions somewhere that she tried to argue them out of it and when they insisted then she killed them and not before.

I'd like to ask Samara about the manner in which they "insisted".

That's an odd looking face. It looks like an alien, just not an Asari. In particular, the way the eyes are done.

The artist says that he/she hasn't played ME, so that would definitely affect his ability to draw her as she looks, in-game.

Do you think asari get sunburnt? If they do, do they turn purple?

 I honestly liked Samara more than any of the other females in ME2. Shame she wasn't romancible. :?

Well if it's asari genetics, I'm not ruling out anything
