And for our previous topic - I can't find the creator though, and I know it's been here before, but here's to aliens and elves!! And because the first time I read it I almost spit out my coffee I was laughing so much.


I love that motivational poster of Thane and Garrus. I want to have Thane and Garrus back together.Those were my boys! XD

I also plan to have a ME marathon around the end of February, and to bring that Shepard into ME3 first, so all decisions will be fresh in my mind.

Concerning the LOTSB letter, after listening to Sbarge's reading of "About Horizon".....
...Great googly moogly. I'm 100% indifferent to Kaidan, but that.... wow. Amazing how something as simple as sound can make things about a billion times better.

So that would mean the LOTSB letter would cause mass swooning and squeeing. Bring it on.

I agree, new playthrough so you remember exactly what you did.

I listened to Sbarge read the letter a few times and wow. If Keythe did that for us. I am pretty sure, I will cry. And listen to it a few hundred times. And make everyone I know listen to it. And post the link of my facebook and twitter and every mentionable Thane thread in existence. I am kidding! I would probably cry though. Image IPB

The mako wouldn't have been so bad if the planets were more interesting. They had nothing. It was like driving in the middle of nowhere. Planet scanning wasn't fun, but it didn't really bother me. I can't do anymore ME1 playthroughs, because I'm a little tired of it. I have about 2 more ME2 playthroughs and all the ME2 dlc t finish before ME3 comes out.

If we could get the LotSB letter read to us it would make my year.

Ok slightly off topic - I just listened to Kaidan's letter - good god. My head almost exploded it was so incredible.
If Keythe did this, I may be incapacitated for days. Weeks even. Perhaps until March??
And it almost makes me want to fire up ME1 (in SPITE of the Mako) and romance Kaidan to carry through. Although I'm thinking when I hit ME2 I won't be able to resist Mr. Krios....

Stupid BSN eating my post and signing me out!

...anyway, I can safely say that if that audio had've been in-game, I would have at least one less ThaneShep. At least. Up until now, I'd never felt bad about dumping Kaidan for various reptilian aliens. Now, there's a pang of regret. Reading the e-mail in ME2 did nothing for me, I just pretty much said , "feh, whatever," Hearing the e-mail...

Dude. LET ME HUG YOU.

I'm just in awe of Mr. Sbarge's talent. And how awesome it is that he did this.

Yes, it's the Thane thread, gotcha. But I had to say it, and this is where I lurk.

So does this mean that people are going to dumb Thane, and go back to Kaidan?

No. Not me, anyway. But going back and playing through ME2 with a loyal Kaidan save has now gone from "when hell freezes over" to "next weekend."

I thought most had one loyal playthrough. I know I do, and that was before I heard the letter.

I was just wondering, because it was starting to sound like it.

I don't have a loyal playthrough for Kaidan. I love the guy as a character, and I think he is attractive, but he just isn't what I like for a LI.

I do however have a completely single playthrough (that was REALLY hard to do) for Joker if he is an option. And I really hope he is.

Although Thane features in more playthroughs than any other. Then Garrus. Then one for Tali and one for Jack.

I have Thane romanced on all of my four FemShep playthrough's, one of which I didn't have to "cheat" on since there wasn't an ME1 love interest.

I have one loyal playthrough, one cheat with Thane, one for Garrus, and the last three are single for Thane.

I like Kaidan also, but he isn't my LI of choice.

I have to start my Jack plathrough next weekend. Did they say anything about Joker being an option or is it going to be that new guy Vega.

Shepenwepet you have a point. There is a difference between reading the letter and hearing Sbarge read the letter. You can feel it. The emotion he is projecting tugs at you. Makes you feel: regret, sadness, pain, longing. You can hear it. That was what got me. Its like I wanted to go find him and hug him. To make him feel happy again. Just do something. It was visceral...

Its like not talking to your husband/boyfriend/best friend for a week and then you talk and suddenly, everything is right in the world. Its the way life is suppose to be and the time you spend together melts away. There is just that moment. Minutes can turn into hours and all there is are the two of you. I love when that happens. That is when life is beautiful and you know what it means to feel truly alive.

To hear Keythe read that letter as Thane. I cannot imagine what that what will feel like. I can say that I will probably feel something close to how I felt hearing Kaidans letter but with Thane I think it will be stronger. Simply because you can hear Thane so much in his letter. Its personal. Its him speaking, soul to soul, heart to heart to Shepard.

Specifically the lines:

You awoke me, Shepard. My heart quickened its sluggish beat if only to remain at your side and protect you with everything that I am.

and

I love you. If all else whispers back into the tide, know this for fact. By grace given me by the Goddess Arashu, I bid her divine protection to you, my warrior-angel, my Siha, to succeed in your destiny. To light your path through the coming darkness. To give you hope, when all seems lost.

I hope we get a positive answer. A yes then have it happen. That would be... Image IPB Wow.

It was hard enough reading it as mere text all right. I might implode if I hear it recorded in Thane's/Keythe's voice.

The "I love you" was the biggest surpise for me. I really wasn't expecting that. Althought I never doubted that he did love Shepard it was nice to see it.

When I read it while playing LotSB, that was the moment I cried. I still rememeber sitting, reading the letter, holding my xbox controller and crying. My husband came in, saw me and freaked. LOL

It was very unexpected but so, good, right, wonderful, amazing. I remember writing on the old thread, HE LOVES HER!!!!! Yeah. That's me. Image IPB

It really is very bittersweet, and so Thane. The person who wrote it really did a good job with help from his girlfriend. I think I might cry if we get to hear Keythe read it.

My MainShep never romanced anyone in the first game so Thane is her only romance :D My other FemShep romanced no one in either game and my MShep has only romanced Ashley (so far... >.>).
So I've never romanced Kaidan. But I have a friend who romanced him so I've heard all about it, of course XD
I agree, the email sounds so much more genuine being spoken than being written. Just hearing the emotion in his voice does that. It's awesome!

Nothing so far suggests that either of them are a romance options. Could be both. Could be neither!
I wouldn't get your hopes up for them :( Keep an open mind. I'm sure there will be other great options if those are unavailable!

I've only got one Shep loyal to Kaidan, and one who's single, the rest are with Thane (If I played Manshep I'd go with Jack).
After a rushed playthrough I decided I liked Marina Shepard enough to make her my canon so I'm replaying ME1 completing all side quests etc and not romancing Kaidan... After hearing R Sbarge reading the email it was was really difficult to shut the relationship down (yes, Marina had led him on). I managed it but only just :).

There's no way I could ever have my Sheps break up with Thane to be with Kaidan.

If I heard Keythe read that letter... I think I'd faint :D

Not me..While I must admit that Sbarge is great VA, and it was really "emotional" to hear " About Horizon" message. I think it will just make possible for me to forgive Kaidan his behaviour on Horizon, but it don't mean I will leave Thane, or will change my mind about broke up with Kaidan in ME3 with my only " loyal" Shepard.

I had almost the exact experience - except thankfully I was a little "composed" when he came in as I could hear him coming.  He knows I'm a freak when it comes to my LIs though :)  

As for Kaidan, I did romance him in ME1, but got a new console and never bothered importing the saves as the romance never felt "right" - I think my Shep was out for some booty really.  So my Sheps haven't cheated on anyone!!  All but one are reserved for Thane (and it was a renegade PT with Garrus - My Shep was just in a f**k the galaxy kind of place :devil:)
