Stem cells therapy is pretty exciting - I mean, just last year we had our first successful "artificial" tracheal transplant. But, there are a lot of pitfalls which, even with 150 years of research, I'm not convinced we'd solve. I mean, we've been trying to cure cancer, HIV etc for decades without much progress; vaccine development is even more depressing. The biggest concern is over cancer development secondary to stem cell implantation. Lung cancer is still the number one killer cancer-wise today; I think stem cells in that area are pretty controversial... especially given the complexity of pulmonary tissue / cellular structure and the propensity for lung cancer to present late, when it is already incurable.
On the plus side... immune modulation is probably a more attainable target - that's reflected in research on-going today. Might not even necessitate a pill a day.
Yeah, I'm not an expert or anything, most of what I know is based on stuff I learned from an AP class and my own research since biology is something that I find interesting. But, I still find it hard to believe that there was absolutely no way to either save Thane or prolong his life until a cure could be found. We're talking about a universe where it is possible to go faster than the speed of light by making our vessel's mass neglible via a fictional element. It's science fiction, stem cell therapy may prove to not work, but since this is fiction, it could still be used in this medium as a medical treatment. Or something else entirely.
Now, I don't care that Thane died in
my game. I didn't romance him and aside from the suicide via bullrush, I was prepared for him to die by this disease. However, everyone that did romance him aren't going to necessary agree with me.
Especially since Bioware threw them that bone on Hagalaz, only to take it back in this game. It makes no sense. If you were going to kill the guy, then at least have the decency to
not get the hopes up in his fandom, or people that just like the character. It was needless and a tad mean spirited. His entire situation does not make sense from a literary or biological perspective.
Thane's disease is simply a cheap character development device that brings little to him in the long run. It was just them trying to spice up the romance with a tragic character when
everything else about him did that job very well already. He didn't need a "fatal" disease to do that.
EDIT: Huh, they announced the EC date.... I'm sorry, but am I the only one that can't gather any significant emotion regarding this? I'm verging on the precipice of just not caring. I suppose I do want the EC to be good, but I can't find the excitement needed to get into this. Nor the rage if it's bad. If it's bad, I think I'll just shrug and move on from this company. I feel a bit strung out here. Maybe, if it's good, I can feel something over this....

Retour en haut
Shepard I believe is the love of her life, her first love and she will never forget her memories and her life with Shepard. Hopefully Liara would have a least one child with Shepard, a living reminder of their love and a part of Shepard will always be close by throughout her long life. Liara will mourn for a long period of time after Shepard passes, I don't think she will take lovers casually though and if she were to take another partner I'd believe she would want to be bonded to that individual, I could possibly see her having maybe two more bondmates after Shepard passes. My Shepard would want her to live again, to find love again, to be happy^_^
