It IS a very nice pic, but I always thought female drell didn't have breasts. Doesn't it say that in the Codex or something? Will have to think on that, since I have female drell in my fanfic (shameless self promotion lol).

That's some cool fanart. Very well done.

All right, for anyone who wants to read it, this is what happens when my Shepards get Thane to try ice cream...

Natalie Shepard (Thane's LI): Another critical mission SUCCESS! I think we deserve some ice cream for saving all these homeworlds.
Kim Shepard (MainShep): All right! *grabs a few huge cartons out of the freezer* Chocolate for me and mint for Nat. What do you like, Thane?
Thane: I've never had this before. *looks curiously at the mint* This is... it's green.
Carson Shepard (Earthborn Ruthless): Oh, you should try it. Good stuff. But be warned, the last time these girls got a sugar rush, they were bouncing off the walls.
Garrus: Literally. *takes some dextro ice cream for himself* They shook the Normandy.
Natalie: Come on, Thane! Badass assassins can eat sweets too! *gives him some of the mint* Ice cream makes everything better.
Carson: Maybe if it's spiked with red sand.
Thane: Red sand. Wild sugar rush. What do you humans put in these "sweets"?
Carson: Oh, nothing. That was just a joke. Kind of. It's food, nothing more. We bring the crazy.
Thane: I'm not surprised... *licks ice cream* Interesting flavor.
Kim: See? We told you so. Have some more!
Saren: *rushes into the kitchen* No, don't! Y-You're eating that. Why? Stop it, now! *biotic throws the ice cream out of Kim's hands*
Thane: *is hit by the ice cream* >___o; Is he all right? It seems his paranoia has reached new levels.
Saren: You remember our destructive New Year's firework show, don't you?
Thane: No. I was with Siha. I'm... not sure I want to know what the rest of you were up to that night.
Natalie: Kim told me all about it. The firework-equipped thannix cannon?
Thane: Ah yes, the secret super-weapon you've code-named "the sparkle shooter". I thought you dismissed claims of its existence to the Council?
Kim: Well, of course we did. We're not going to come right out and tell them about our prototype automatic "win" button against the Reapers.
Garrus: I'm amazed no one came looking for it after this one *points to Saren* blew up a batarian colony. It left a rainbow mark in space for days.
Saren: They did come, with a whole search team! I had to hide it.
Garrus: Oh, spirits... I can see where this is going.
Thane: *calmly sets his ice cream down on the table and steps away*
Carson: You hid it in the ice cream? *facepalms* What would you do a crazy thing like that for?
Saren: Because no one would think we were insane enough to hide it there, so they never looked.
Garrus: You sure proved the Council wrong then, being insane beyond their wildest expectations.
Natalie: Well, I guess there's no harm done, right? I mean, Kim told me these fireworks could only be set off by a special button they made with the word "awesome" on it.
Gardner: What's this button do? *click*
Sheps and crew: Noooooooooo! *dramatic leap away from the rainbow sparkle ice cream filled explosion*
TIM hologram: *appears* What happened here? The Normandy is covered in mint-chocolate ice cream and sprinkles.
Saren: Sparkles, actually. Just be glad it didn't blow a hole in the ship.
Thane: How is it that the Normandy was not destroyed? The blast didn't even scratch the paint.
TIM: The old Normandy was destroyed. This one needed to be stronger so  that wouldn't happen again. It had to withstand Reaper attacks, and your daily antics.
Saren: I hate to admit it, Harper, but this is... impressive. What is this new Normandy made from?
TIM: Plot armor. It's the only way to be sure.
Carson: Plot armor?! Why didn't you tell us? We were holding back because we thought the ship couldn't take it! > Move aside, Joker. I'm driving.
Thane: Siha, if I don't come back here in Mass Effect 3, this is why.

Anyway wasp, I'm not too sure. I think it's mentioned, but then it might just be hinted at in the codex and then the fan speculation might have filled in the rest.

Also, this is from the Mass Effect 2 facebook page. Look up the back. Is it? Yes, it is? It's a.....

And the Normandy being made from Plot armour. I think we are gonna need some helluva plot armour to make sure Thane is safe in ME3. Even without the SM in ME2.

Awesome screenshot! I like to see my favorite characters aiming a gun at some unfortunate enemy of Shepard.

And... Mass Effect cookies! They're so adorable though, I would never be able to eat them.

Thane: Never mind it. I'm sure everyone thinks you're an "adorable" psycho.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I didn't come up with the term "plot armor" though, it's pretty common around the forums, mostly said about Liara's inability to die in either game.

"Just like old times." That would be so cool if "sparkle shooter" became a meme. I've never made a meme before.

I know in my Shepards' alternate universe, they'll just get TIM to give Thane "the Saren treatment" if he dies, and Lazarus him back to life. Remember, Sable named him the magical boyfriend resurrection fairy for a reason.

@The Sarendoctrinator
Very funny! The Plot armor part really made my day XDD

The Codex says that drell babies can eat solid food since birth, that totally removes the need of breastfeeding, so no breasts, and since it's obvious that drell are reptile-like and no repitle on earth has boobs.... people put 2 and 2 together no real information though

I personally like this female drell on the top right

It's not as simple as You think

I don't think it's simple, I'm just naming some of many reason why I think it unlikely Thane specificly would die without option to save him. But if you want to toss another random comment against that statement, be my guest.

No I will not post more comment about this, becouse before game relase there's nothing to say in this subject. Plus I don't want to discus about spoilers, and that's why some of my posts looks like that ..So sorry if I offended You with previous post.

RGC_Ines wrote...

Hmmm...hard to explain without
spoiler....If we are talking about  romances I have nothing against
BioWare job with VS I saw so far ( as usually a few dialogs in BioWare
standarts plus some hot action), but I really can't accept Kaidan's
behaviour at the start of game, and this fact will keep me away from him
in ME3 when and most important IF I will play my "loyal"
Shepard.

*grits teeth, straining against the powerful urge to go read the leaked scripts* Ack, a wave of ME3-lust/rabid curiosity just hit me. NO! I WILL RESIST! *sweats* I don't want to know!

But that really sounds like the Joker and EDI interactions I peeked at that I really,really didn't like--well-written enough but such a painfully bad plot choice in my opinion that even the best writing couldn't save it. Is there any chance Raphael's Sbarge's voice acting could save the scripts you read? Make his actions/words more sympathetic by infusing them with pain and passion instead of snippiness and anger? He made the Horizon letter sound better than it did when I just read it.

The Sarendoctrinator wrote...

Plus,
one of the spoiler scenes I've read
does so much justice to the friendship Thane has with my MainShep, and
was perfectly in-character for her.

That sounds really cool. Friendship's one of the things that was a little too weak/scanty in ME2, IMO.

The Sarendoctrinator wrote...

Kaidan: My opinions of Kaidan have
progressed like this - (ME1) good friend for Shepard, interesting
history and I like some of the opinions he has about things, didn't show
enough personality for me, not really interested in his romance, but
will play it eventually; (ME2) don't like him at all after
Horizon, which will be really hard for him to fix this in the next game,
and I honestly don't expect him to; (ME3) wow, his personality just got
interesting, and even with the rocky start, I can actually see some of
my Shepards forgiving him.

This really surprised me. I thought
the majority of my Shepards would want to kill him for sure. I thought
it would be hard to make one of my FemSheps stay loyal to him. And now I
find that it might actually be possible, not only for the playthrough
of his romance to be fun, but for my MainShep to forgive him and try to
rebuild their friendship. My MainShep, of all people. She forgives no one,
not even for the slightest insult. (Well, except for Saren. He could
get away with anything.) This will certainly make my playthroughs more
varied
and interesting.

This makes me feel a little better. Your ME1&2 descriptions are exactly how I felt during both those games, so maybe ME3 will be the turning point for me.

I want to like Kaidan; I really do. Always did. I hope my feelings will be close to yours when I play.

Of course he
can't replace Thane. No character can replace another. But if you can't
have first prize even though you earned it, you at least deserve a consolation
prize. And I think his coloring is really nice. I would like to
fictionally rock his fictional universe. Really, if they took Thane away
from us arbitrarily, it would be the absolute least they could do. (Not that I think they will.)

And hey, as long as they don't go killing off the most-beloved male LI in
their entire series, there's still no need to choose. I repeat, with
relish, drell sandwich. ../../../images/forum/emoticons/grin.png

Do you want Feron as an LI or just on her team or both? I like Feron, and
would like to see him again. Feron could be fun, but he seems a bit out
of Shepards league. At least in the game that's how he seemed to me. I'm
not sure about Feron from the comic book. Also if you had him then who
would be running the Shadow Broker base since Liara is going to be with
you most of the time.

Maybe a drell sandwich in fanfic. I know someone could write
that.

Hmm... I could take any of the above, really. It might be fun to have him along, but as you're saying, somebody has to run that Shadow Broker base. I'm not sure he's as skilled a fighter as Shepard would need, anyway. Yeah, probably, it would have to be a non-squadmate romance/dalliance/sandwich. (I'm not giving up on that sandwich thing! *lol* )

COMIC SPOILERS: In the comics (where you learn Aria's monitoring of Omega is part of the reason Shepard's even alive) he seemed a bit... not cowardly, but cautious; like a person who had to work a bit in order to find his bravery. Self-protective, self-interested, but not excessively so. Someone who had to balance those feelings pragmatically with his desire to do the right thing. He needed some pushing to help Liara. He seemed wary of asari, but extremely wary of Cerberus. Not prejudiced, just, again, self-protective.

He gave Liara some reason not to trust him in the beginning--he concealed the fact that he was the Shadow Broker's agent and thus almost got her killed in an attack she wasn't prepared for. She seriously almost kills him because she isn't sure that he didn't just plain sell her out to the highest bidder. He is terrified of her. (Liara's seriously badass in Redemption.)

Feron is the Garrett-from-Thief type, somewhat, if you know the character. Not as snarky, more grim and survival-focused. He's more devious than he appears; he tries to seem like a normal shady guy trying to make a living. But he's actually a stealth good guy, of sorts. He sold the Shadow Broker out not because he could be bought, but because he had scruples about the guy working with the Collectors.

He actually showed a touching amount of respect for Shepard as well--in his own words: "Then I heard they were interested in Shepard's remains. That was beyond perverse. I had to stop it." So he approached Cerberus, who also assumed he was just an easily flip-able lackey they could use. Then when the Shadow Broker's agents began to suspect his motives, he promised to get them Liara as a cover. So his motives were in sync with Liara's all along and she just didn't know it.

Liara almost ruins her own mission, potentially, once or twice, by being so passionate about getting Shepard's body back YESTERDAY (which made me like her more because it was touching) but Feron holds her back, being canny enough to keep his head. He gets her into the base by pretending she's his hostage. So Feron is another one besides Aria without whom Shepard wouldn't be alive, along with Miranda and TIM.

I just found it so appealing that he was not only repelled by the Collectors and what they do, but specifically even more so by the fact that they wanted Shepard. That was the motivating factor for him. He couldn't bear the thought of what they might do to Shepard's dead body. So he does have a sort of connection to her, which throws a bit of a new light on Shepard coming to help Liara rescue him. Feron helps Liara rescue you, then you help her rescue him... poetic.

That's almost a canon threesome right there! Aw, there I go sounding all deep and emotional, and then I burst the illusion with another dorky threesome joke. Ah, well. Oh, and speaking of those, did anyone catch the relish reference in the sandwich joke? Yes/no/please don't explain an already terrible pun?

I was talking with a friend about the whole lack of breasts thing, and he brought up a good point- they could be for some other purpose than breast-feeding, or just a vestigal organ (or organs) from a previous evolutionary form.

I just roll with that reasoning because I love that picture lots.

Be strong young padawan and don't go to dark side..ekhm..website with leaked scripts I mean
Honestly, I think, that VA will play a big and very important role in Kaidan romance,  There will be at last one, dialog between him and Shepard where I think, that theirs feelings will play a role, and I imagine a lot of passion/pain there ( and no I don't mean love passion),  after the....well plot that will probably happened ( I read the two version on it)...All depends on Sbarge talent here and if he will be succesfull in his task, then Im sure, that a lot of Kaidan's fangirls will like it.
Don't think it's similar to Joker/EDI romance also, more to Carth/Revan in my opinion.

I alsways thought female drell wouldn't have breast either. They really don't need them.
It would be nice if Bioware would show us female of other species besides human.

I don't think it's a good idea to sneak up on Thane. I honestly don't think anyone could.

Joker wrote it and Shepard put it on his back. She's the only one that could get close enough to do it.

@wasp777
I saw that the other day! but I didn't realize how silly Shepard looked... XDDD

About females.... since we will have multiplayer do we know if the female version of each playable species will be available? Because I will be about time we see some Turian, Salarian females.... ¬_¬

[wasp777]

We haven't seen the female version of most of the aliens. I'm hoping we'll finally see female (in-game) Turians, Salarians and Drell (We've already seen the female Krogan in the gameplay preview) since multiplayer promises to let you choose your gender along with race.

[Friera]

The female turian was boring... Tsk. Hope they would be more..feminin.

Excellent drawing of Thanes wife though. Looks feminin and pretty. Just tiny bit too badass for my own imagination, hehe.
