#there are other renegade choices that are easier to justify but they almost always take at least some mental gymnastics

it's honestly a tragedy that so few people chose morinth over samara that they didn't even bother putting morinth in me3. like i don't blame the players bc the narrative clearly discourages most players by positioning choosing morinth as the evil choice. but i swear to god if you actually talk to her after choosing her you will see it is not that simple. the situation isn't nearly as clear cut and black & white as they make it out to be and either choice could be justified as the "good" or "evil" choice.

#like actually this is one of the best moral dilemmas in mass effect #overall i think mass effect has a problem with its moral dilemmas being far too easy #paragon choices are almost always objectively more moral than renegade choices #there's literally renegade choices that make no goddamn sense #like why would you kill the colonists on feros #if putting them to sleep takes exactly as much effort and is exactly as risky #and you know for an absolute fact they are innocents #it makes no sense you'd have to be insane or stupid #there are other renegade choices that are easier to justify but they almost always take at least some mental gymnastics #but samara vs morinth? #that's a real moral dilemma i couldn't tell you which of them is objectively right #morinth is wrong for the killings but samara is wrong for locking up certain asari as inherently too dangerous to live #these are the types of moral dilemmas they SHOULD have been giving us all along
