I support Crazy Dancing Thane in ME3!

I staunchly believe it will be a choice. So, if y'all want to kill of Thane, you can. If you're like me, you will sacrifice anything and everything to save him.

Good to see that there are other Thane supporters who will sacrifice everything to see him in ME 3.

I think it makes the most sense for him to die.

@Tyrian oh yes! I would even consider holding the galaxy hostage. "So, the "Reapers" are invading, huh? Well, if you help me, then I'll help you."

@RAF Then that is your choice and decision to can make.

This is how i feel as well, Thane was such a great character and even though it would make sense for him to die it would be very dissapointing atleast for us Thane supporters.

My boyfriend said: "Some men want to death because they are jealous of Thane, it is irrational. If he dies, the girls will not be with them more often to have sex."
:devil:

Thane is one of the more interesting squadmates, and while you do get him a little earlier than Legion, he still comes to the party a little late.
Thane will only be in ME3 if you import a save from ME2. If you start fresh, not so much.

No he's not. Christina Norman explained the 50. If you go by standard year measurements, he's 25-30, which is middle aged by salarian standards.

Dead. Not behind the scenes, but not the cliché heroic death either. I want a conversation, a reunion during the early stages of ME3 when Shepard can say goodbye to a dying, sick Thane. Games avoid such things like the plague, but I think it would add much grit and realism to the ME universe.

Also, if there's a DLC that provides a magic cure, I'll pass on it. I like Thane as a character far too much to ruin it with a deus ex machina plot device...

I would not mind something like this and would also probably pass on the dlc, though it does say the Hanar are looking for a cure and I'm not sure how long they have been working on it, so having him volunteer for something experimental might be interesting and give him a little more time.

I like Thane a lot.  He's one of my favorite characters and one of my Shepards LI and having her be there with his son,  when he dies would be very satisfying and I'd like this better than just hearing that he died.  A lot will depend on how long the time is between the end of ME2 and the beginning of ME3 and how far along the Kepral Syndrom is.

Thanks for the info. I always thought the ages given weren't acurate.

Anyway, I used Mordin as an example because I have seen people on the forums saying that he would die before ME3, just like Thane. Not because I actually thought it. ( who else my Shepard is going to go to Karaoke with!? )

As I see it, the squad for ME3 should consist of the ones that survived the SM ( meaning everybody, since it just plain easy to keep everyone alive, squadmates at least ), plus Vermirie survivor, I have my doubts about Wrex since he is holding a important place as clan leader, and may be a few new squadmates, preferably people Shepard already knows like Shiala.

If we get a whole new squad that would make M2 totally worthless...

1. Thane should not be cure. It would just be stupid writing and an obvious cop out to appease a portion of the player base that loves Thane. ME2: "I'm dying." ME3: "Well, I was going to die, but then the x discovered the y, now I'm fine.



2. Having him die off screen is not ruining a character. Most of the time people die in uninteresting ways. A simple email informing you of Thane's death is more powerful than some contrived glorious death scene because it is far more realistic.

There is no need for a "magical" cure. The Hanar are already working on a cure and in the dossier of LotSB Dr. Chakwas report says that Thane would be a good candidate for a transplantation, but until now he doesn't wanted to be set to the transplantation list.

Maybe a Thane who is romanced or/and reunited with his son will now decide different because he sees now a new meaning for his life. So maybe it is up to the player decisions if Thane will die or not.

And a cure or at least a prolongation of his life would fit to the character development, because a romanced Thane or a Thane that is reunited with his son is not the same person anymore when you recruited him. And honestly, I don't think that Thane needs an aura of drama around his character - he is interesting without a deadly illness. [/quote]

I agree 100% with this. He changes when you romance him. He doesnt not want to die anymore. That will probably change his mind about a transplant. At least give us a chance to convince him.

Darn that first bit was supposed to be a quote from Eliantariel, sorry

*sigh*

Just wanted to throw a new argument in.

All LIs have been treated more or less fairly so far.

Killing Thane off in-between ME2-ME3 would be totally unfair from this point of view: 5 other LIs get their content, and we're not? Really?

Besides:
1. Thane was designed to be appealing to female audience, to be an interesting alien LI. Killing him between two games when he can take part in ME3 and better fullfil his role as a LI (and squadmate) makes zero sense.
2. Bioware guys seem to be proud of the character. They put lots of work into him. He's a poster guy. He's a character of the year by IGN now.
3. Bioware guys know about Thane fans; he's not the most popular LI, but do you remember the NSAS easter egg in the LotSB? They're well aware we're here and active, either in threads or in a private group. They won't disappoint us so badly.

Thane dying in between ME 2 and ME 3.  If they want to explain why he's not on the crew anymore to make way for either someone new or Ash/Kaiden, that's how they'd do it.

That said....I don't want him to die.  I happen to LIKE Thane, as well as everyone in ME 2 that was your squad (but this is about Thane, so I'll stick to that )


I hope we get as one of the "bridge DLC's" a way to cure Thane.  That'd be nice, actually.  Jellyfish is right about the LI's - to kill off Thane would be complete and utter B.S. to those that romanced him, only to have him bite the big one at the start of ME 3.  I'd like to see Thane return; he's a specialty sniper on my squad and has a role to fill.  I said it before on a different Thane support thread (I'm certain of it), Garrus is the guy I want having my back in a brawl, where Thane is the guy that my Shep goes to have contemplated discussions with.  He's a wonderful character that can have more growth in ME 3.

I've often felt they may do a thing like they did with Wrex/Wreave. Perhaps we get Thane's son instead of Thane. But I'm up for dlc that saves him, especially if it takes us and lets us explore Kahje!

[CheeseEnchilada]

Why all the black and white talk? Either he dies right away in ME3 or is cured with flowers and puppies?



I'd love it if we got a chance to get him the transplant mentioned in LotSB--the disease has already metastasized so it is far from a cure, but it might give him a little more time. He can fight by your side in ME3, and if he survives the finale, you get a mention of him dying in the epilogue. You get the character with you in the third game, some nice development, and it isn't a total cop-out. Perhaps he only wants to be cured if he's loyal and Kolyat is safe?

[Kokooro]

I can see the point in people saying that he should die, but I can also understand why others want him to live ( which includes me, because I'm a huge fan of that character )



I personally think we should be given the choice. There should at least be the possibility to find a cure for him, eventually with a big sacrifice of something else or another consequence. It should not be a "magical cure" by all means. I would find it very unfair to the ones that like or even romanced Thane if he died between the games and you only get a message / codex entry about his death. That would suck majorly and I'd be really disappointed by Bioware. You can handle that situation better.



I also do not think that it will take away from the character. Why should it? He still experience how death was slowly creeping closer and that DOES have an impact on you, regardless if you survive or not. Fearing death is a very scary thing, to say the least - and I know what I'm talking about. But that's not the point. Thane is an interesting character with or without the illness. Period. There's more to him than just the illness. He's also a religious badass drell assassin that lost his wife, killed her murderers and reunited ( or not ) with his son 10 years later.



long story short: give us the option whether he gets cured or not.

Sorry, retarded double post.

Agreed with the two posters above.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

Same here. Thane himself has said that it is very unlikely that the hanar will create a cure during the 8-12 months he has left. I suspect that if Shepard has an option to save Thane, prolong his life, or 'cure' him, then it will either be at the cost of a ethically murky solution, or it would mean the sacrifice of something/someone else.

For example, perhaps you meet another drell in ME3 who has healthy lungs but, for obvious reasons, doesn't wish to depart with his lungs. So you kill him and have a lung transplant for Thane.

Or, obtaining a cure for Thane could involve Cerberus' interference and if you saved the collector base, could involve obtaining a way of artificially prolonging his life with cybernetics using reaper/collector technology.

Just two ideas off the top of my head, but you see what I mean?
