Thane should be dead before ME3 starts.



Mordin should die of old age during ME3.



I will cry manly tears.

[habitat 67]

Well, the beginning of ME3 had better start with someone's funeral.

I was looking forward to it.

You know, he could still have Kepral's and not die until the epilogue of ME3.

Just sayin', guys.

Didn't he have 8-12 months left when you first recruit him? I assume Shepard's mission in ME2 took more than a few weeks to complete, although the passage of time isn't exactly discussed in the game. Also, could even Shepard stop the Reapers in just a few months, even if they somehow magically managed to reach the Milky Way right after ME2 ended?

I got both Thane and Mordin killed in SM because it makes their life story that much better.

Didn't he say that it was just a matter of time before a cure was found.  It could be logically assumed that new treatments and such are coming out of such researc so it wouldn't be a total as*pull for him to live longer than the estimate given in ME2.  And I also hate to use this argument but Cerberus did basically bring Shep back from the dead I bet there is research out there that could, at the very least, extend Thane's lifespan.  Also the transplant possibility mentioned in LotSB that I posted about earlier.

Not saying any of that should or would happen, just that it wouldn't come completely outta left field.

I agree. My comment referred to a situation in which there was no cure. If Thane is not cured or treated, I doubt he'll survive until the end of ME3. However, I see no reason why he could not be cured / treated for all the reasons you post above. Also, if done well, I don't think his character will suffer from it, which seems to be the main argument against curing him.

rather have my old team alive in mass effect 3

I want him cured. Why kill off a great character just to milk some temporary drama?

Because the "temporary drama" was the only non-cheap thing about him, and getting rid of it would retroactively cheapen (to pointlessness) not only his character but all your original interactions with him.

If you want to analogize with Garrus, it would be like he came back from ME1 to ME2, but he'd suddenly decided that going by the book was the only way.

[hanar05]

I would love to see Thane cured and so would a lot of other fans.

I don't think it will cheapen his character in any way, there is plenty more to him than just the fact he is dying.

There is a lot of great potential for a character like him and I would like to see BioWare make the most of that potential!

[Big stupid jellyfish]

There are many ''non-cheap' things about Thane. To us Thanemancers, at least.

If you think he's better off dead go ahead and kill him in SM or do not use the cure in ME3 (I hope there'd be an option to use it or not, and I hope using it would come with a price). It's not that we're forcing you to save the character we like when you don't want to do this in your playthrough, y'know.

I'll just say this: Thane's condition isn't all there is to his character. If him dying is all you can see in him, then you might want to consider revising.

[Whereto]

Sure I like thane, but I really don't want the amazing cure. Mass effect 3 will most likely happen just before or sometime after thanes supposed death. So I'm not sure if the cheap" find a cure just before death" is needed, I really don't want to see the happy ending all the time.



If there was a option to save him or not, that would be cool, but not likely

[AllenShepard]

I support Thane and all but if this is the big LDC, I'm going to be mad. I want some bridging DLC.

[disconnect7]

*avatar and signature* It's obvious where I stand on the issue. I think Thane is a magnificent character, and should be developed deeper. I want as much Thane as I can get in the future; I was very pleased to see BioWare addressing a cure-for lack of a better word. Possibly there will be an option for Shepard to talk about treatment with him? Only time will tell.

[Kusy]

Why not cure Thane? It's not stated that it's impossible to cure him in the game - it's said that he finds no purpose in life. By finishing his loyality mission and dialogue I think we gave him enough motivation to get his ass together and do something about it.

Hannar are loosers, Mordin or a dedicated team of model scientist salarians would probobly find a cure in one afternoon.

Thane's one of my favorites for sure (Vietnam flashbacks and all) being one of the most unique characters I've ever encountered in a game. Top ten even. Then he gets to use sniper rifle, which makes him even better.

[Giga Drill BREAKER]

srsly they have spaceships in the mass effect world, are you trying to tell me they can't transplant real or synthetic lungs into thane

[pumpkinpirate]

I just want to see his man-cleavage.
I doubt it's going to be like, Oh, hey we found a unicorn and it crapped out a sparkly cure for Thane. YAY. 

And even if they do a magical cure, this is a universe where theres a race of mono-gendered squid heads that reproduce by psychically mating with basically anyone and anything. I can't see them finding a cure crapping unicorn that ridiculous.

I think in the end the choice should be Thanes. If he wants to be with Shepard or make up for lost time with his son, let him get treatment. If you fail or don't do his loyalty mission and he's depressed, let him die. If you want him to die and succeed his LM, I'm sure Shepard could tell him they don't have time for him to get treatment blah blah... Pick the blue/red option and let him die or live. It isn't that complicated or damaging to his character or cheap on anyones end.

I don't want a magical cure, although I like unicorns, I do want him to be in my squad, and i do want him in ME3. I want his romance to be developed further and I want him shirtless at one point. If he dies at the end of the game so be it. But it would be cheap to me to just kill him in between or at the begining of the game.

If his disease or lack of will to live is what defines him in your eyes then you saw a way different character then I did. But thats what great about RPG's is you can interpret things your own way. If you want him dead, kill him at the collecters base. Don't like a character, kill the son-of-my-dogs-mother at that part.

But be warned BioWare, angry fangirls are a force to be feared. I live in Canada, and I will find you...... and yes, I do have a shotgun.

You  may be on to something. Thane could ride the unicorn over a rainbow to be cured, but only while chewing yakberry bubblegum.

[Bunkerblade101]

Wow, just WOW. All this discussion about how a game developer should build their game. I mean seriously this game was built around the RPG format not to mention the fact it was a game of choices. Does no one realize that every single thing that had substance was a choice made by you. So my point is make the DLC or option in ME3. Let people do what they want. I personally like thane. I want his character to come out in ME3. Yet again the choice would be yours. And if you want to partake in the role in role playing game, be you femshep or male shep, make the choice WITH Thane. Make dialogue between the two of you deciding if you should go one way or the other.

You can't make a dedicated DLC for him though. It should be a secondary possibility during the DLC. But as i am sure they already have the DLC 90% done, it wouldn't be up to us anymore.

Kepral's is a bacterial disease.

No, that's from a cut codex entry.  It's not canon. In the game-as-released, it's purely due to overexposure to humidity levels that the drell haven't evolved to cope with. Good thing too, because an incurable bacterial disease that's been known about for decades with ME's level of med-tech is a little silly.

As opposed to the inability to clone lungs with MEverse medical tech, yes.







Anyway, Thane dying of his disease is a more moving thing than "oh he got better lol. Happy times for all". I prefer it.
