I really like the voice acting during the Morinth/Samara encounter. It's pretty well done, if a tad short.

My response to Morinth's character was always, "I wish my morals allowed me to let you live."

The funny thing about that situation for me is that I hated being stuck with a veritable cop with an all-or-nothing vengeful complex.  No meta-gaming (well a little to be stated later) involved I thought that Morinth would be better because I honestly thought that she would target Shepard and Shepard only.  Or at least I hoped she would.  The fact that she does only go for Shepard allowed me to choose her over Samara in every subsequent run since my first.  I don't need someone so seemingly hellbent on taking out anything and everything in her path just to pursue one individual.  Especially in the case of police officers who may just be about doing their job to protect and serve.

Also the knowledge that Samara razed an entire village save for the children of said village doesn't come close to helping Samara look good in my eyes.  Even if Morinth is what she's made out to believe, Samara's killing of all Asari adults in that village could mount in the thousands.  That's easily a good chunk of lives Morinth may have taken in 400 years.  Considering the very possible idea that Morinth is very careful about her victims I wouldn't be surprised if that culling of Samara's outdoes Morinth's bodycount.  Maybe even by a wide margin.

Hello! I just wanted to direct your attention for a moment to the new introduction to the forum with an outline of the purposes of this forum now that it has been separated from the strategy discussion.

You have discussion of your favorite character going fairly well, but I'd also encourage you guys to present any fan-created works about the series to your other forumites!

Also, Morinth doesn't have a Shadow Broker file. Which is kind of lame.

I really enjoy Morinth as a character... but I think that the Samara/Morinth choice will doom her to NPC or an early death in ME3 due to logistical issues. 

Still, it would be interesting to see her developed forther, and if her ways could be changed in ME3.

There are cut audio files pertaining to Morinth?

Check out some freshly made fanart from the Morinth / Samara confrontation scene from the game!
My wife made it as an acrylic painting on canvas, find it on her deviantart.

I like Morinth. Would be awesome if you could sort of heal her (and we all know that 'true love'™ can heal almost everything), so we could have a cheesy happy ending. Like earth is burning, the whole team is dead, normandy in pieces and shepard and morinth ride into the sunset or something.

I am not fond of Morinth contrary to the OP, but I feel, might BW use her in ME3 (IF the player chose Morinth over Samara in ME2) they should include a Mc Guffin to fix Morinth, maybe even make it a short extra mission?

BW felt no qualms in using a cheap plot-device ('erbs and Anti-Biotics???) to further a Tali-romance..

Sooo I do not see any problems in plotting a way in finding a cure for Morinth. Maybe something found on an undiscovered planet beyond the Omega 4 relay? Even the Asari haven't gone beyond that. They could even include a bit about how Morinth suddenly discovers that killing by smooching doesn't do anything anymore for her. Or a full redemption bit ,where she uses her -now controllable tnx to giant Mc Guffin- power as a justicar, to follow in her mother's footsteps?



'S just an idea...



I killed Morinth off in every play through though.... 1 psycho (Jack) is enough.

the only good thing about Morinth is the voice actress (she is also beautiful). As for her character, there is nothing good about morinth.

She's a good character, but the character is not a good person.  

Though they put very little effort into fleshing her out, and it shows.  The only reason I even care about her is because Samara is such a Sue.

Morinth is a perfect predator.She knows it and doesn't try to be something she's not.This is a lot more than can be said about many of the new normandy crew.I wish they would have fleshed her out more, though the way she is implemented as a stupid-bait for horny teenagers makes me chuckle Hope she makes a return in ME3.Even if to kill more stupid, horny teenagers

[Autoclave]

she tried to kill shep, considering him just another victim of her. Nobody in his right mind (unless he is a ME2 completionist or domination bonus power user) would choose Morinth.



Imagine somebody tries to kill you, how would you feel about him?

Not being confrontational: What does that mean for those of us who aren't "horny teenagers" who do like Morinth as a character and find her interesting?

[Collider]

Do you think Morinth could ever redeem herself? Would she be willing to?

The part about horny teenagers was pointed at people who didn't see that she was setting you up for the kill the whole time and went for the booty instead of using their brains.In other words those who experienced death by snu snu.I like her as a character too you know.Like Zaeed (another fave) she doesn't try to justify her existance or what she does.She just does it and gets stronger by it.No whiny moral dilemmas or dwelling on sob stories(even though she could, knowing her background), she pushes forward with the cards dealt to her making the best of it.

I don't think Morinth will have much of a role to play in ME3, but does anyone care to speculate?

Samara says Ardat Yakshi are rare, but comes into conflict with what we are told in-game.  I'd rather not use the codex to support a potential cause for Morinth given the nature of the codex in ME2 as opposed to ME, but since a character in-game supports the codex I'm fine with entertaining my idea.  

According to the Turian on the Citadel there is an Ardat Yaksi Monastery.  The codex states something along the lines of "contrary to popular belief, Ardat Yakshi aren't really rare".  My thinking is Morinth has sisters in the Ardat Yakshi conclave among others who were given the same choice as she was: live in seclusion or die.  Morinth ran away because she thought it was unfair to be given such a choice.  Keep in mind that at 106(?) Liara states that she is still considered a child.  Morinth runs away at 40.  At least 60 years younger than Liara Morinth is given a choice to live locked away or killed.  Though the reasoning is different imagine telling a 10 year-old something along the lines of what Morinth was told and then asked which choice they want.

I would like for Morinth to have been spending her time looking for ways to improve her condition so that she can control her urges or eradicate them completely so she and others like her can live lives as close to normal for the Asari.  It's what I think about when I imagine that Morinth spent most of her time on Asari worlds.  I seriously doubt Bioware would write that kind of story, but it's one I'd definitely appreciate.

Though I love Tali, Garrus and Liara, none of them impress me as much as Morinth, you know?

She is so deadly and unrepentant. I wish I was her...

[Roxanna Barrett]

 I admit, when i was made to choose, i hesitated. Morinth is far from someone i would be close to, but there was a pang of guilt when i aided in her death. Ive never spared her, because she is above and beyond simple murder. Morinths situation could have been handled diffrently.... 399 years ago. I respect her, as any soldier respects a real threat, but i do not  have any fond feelings for her.

Jack, on the other hand, is a cold blooded killer. The conversation with her and Miranda at the end of her mission on Purg. left me shaking my head aswell. However, unlike Morinth, she can still be "saved." Her loyalty mission proves that, to a degree. Im not condoning Jacks actions, but i can understand them. 

[lawp79]

I personally think that Morinths voice acting is one of the best in the game, her voice is so well suited to the character. I think its a pity that even if you do spare her and recruit her she has little to say after the initial chat.

[Flamewielder]

Neil Gaiman's Death is a creature of infinite compassion, willingly embracing the sad necessity of dying alone so that all other sentient creatures will have someone to take them beyond. Morinth, however, has NONE of Death's compassion, being a slave of her nature: a sociopathic psychic vampire who is addicted to the "high" it gives her of draining her victim's experiences as a proxy to an empathy she is denied by her condition.

"A tragic figure, but not a sympathetic one" indeed...

Morinth is an interesting character, but suffers from being essentially an accessory to Samara's story. The fact that all she cares to talk about once you bring her onboard is how unfairly her daughter (and the universe) treated her doesn't help: she comes across as an ungrateful adolescent, blaming all her troubles on the outside world and never acknowledging her own faults. That doesn't speak too well regarding any intent Morinth might ever have of "atoning" somehow for the lives she took.

Interestingly, Samara speaks lovingly of her deceased daughter. It's the generational gap spun out of control...

I didn't know there was a Morinth thread.

[volus4life]

morinth would be awesome if she wasn't a vampire who wanted to kill you. she's funnier than samara.
