I've stopped with the multiplayer myself now, rather save some till the real game comes out. But grats to your drell, it's soo much fun playing as one. xD

I'll probably stop coming here on the 6th because I want to be unspoiled and I don't dare to even enter here, even to know what happens to Thane. As much as I'd rather do my Garrus playthrough first, I want to see what happens to Thane, even if that means I'll probably be down for that whole playthrough.

[mythlover20]

Yeah, I'll probably be back after I finally get it and start playing it. I'll be spending as much time as I can glued to my Playstation after that though. We'll have to see what happens.

The unfortunate thing about the demo is that none of the multiplayer progress transfers, so we'll need to unlock aliens all over again (among other things) once the full game is released. I stopped playing it to avoid getting burnt-out. Never did get that Drell vanguard, but I did enjoy watching others kick-ass with him!

As for singleplayer, my mainShepard romanced Thane and the first playthrough will be hers. Thane's romance, for better or worse, is the one I'm most invested in anyway.

A blackout this extensive has to mean they're UP TO SOMETHING. And whatever it is, should be interesting.

[mythlover20]

Oh, no doubt about that. That's why I'm leaving the thread after launch until i get my copy. A week late. Have I mentioned that I'm upset about that, yet? Well, I am.

And damn, I thought the multiplayer demo did transfer over, that's why I've been playing and trying to unlock everything. Well, damn. I might as well stop now.

Oooh! I agree! Paragon Interrupt Kiss Ftw! *squeeeee*
Ugh..why does Tali and Liara get hugs and Thane doesn't?!
Thane needs hugs and kisses too.:innocent:

Now I'm intrigued. I will put this on my to do list and after the release and we know what happens, I plan on asking. I want to know. My curiosity has been peaked. 

Lol 
Lets hope he lives then. The Devs will probably get swarmed with the Thane fans if he does die.

Exactly! Thane cannot be deprived of hugs and kisses, it would not be fair!

And I will not be a happy camper if the only option is Thane dying. IF that is the only option, they better do the death well or I'll go into complete rage mode.

According to the leaked script from November, it is. Not sure if they have changed it since then. 

But it's handled very well, I say. It comes after the end of a long mission.

That worries me.

The thing about most of the ME2 cast in ME3 is that the writers had to do a high wire act to make them relevant if alive/loyal and replaceable, their role negligible if dead. Thane wasn't exactly necessary to the Suicide mission in ME2, all he really contributed to was the possible (failed) biotic role, and adding to the Hold the Line score.

If Thane has such a huge role that they can't even show a single picture of anything for fear of ruining some huge, glorious secret, well what does that mean for people who got him killed on the Suicide Mission? Or people who never recruited him? Or people who didn't get to doing his loyalty mission? And especially, people who romanced him?

He just can't integral to something huge, because there is more than one scenario where he's not in the picture.

[Friera]

From the 6th you won´t be seeing me until Ive gone through ME3 at least once.

Probably...

[XX55XX]

Well that surely makes me depressed. I hope the script has changed since then. As me and Purple were talking yesterday, its wrong to just push out Thane, when Thane was one of the best characters in Me2 for a lot of people. He got a lot of promotion and a big fanbase.

And I will also, on March 5th , again leave the forums until I get done with a PT for Me3. I'm importing Lucien, my character who romanced Thane first. Then Skylar, who romanced Garrus and kept Thane as a very close friend.

Well, unlike some other characters (like Mordin, Miranda, Legion), I find that BioWare more or less shunted Thane off to the side with one final farewell. He plays a role in a mission against Cerberus, but that's it. They could have done better, but I did like the final exchange between him and Shepard.

Which is unfortunate, given that he was featured on the ME2 box art.

Thank you for using spoiler tags.

Thane did the bitoic barrier for me and he surivied. Lucien had to carry him to the end ( which I thought did a great job for the Romance) and he never got carried away by the Seekers. One guess who was dancing around when he surivied that.
Not that I tried to kill him, honestly. My xbox controller is really messed up so when I went for Jack, I clicked Thane on accident. 

Well that's par for the course. The biotic person never dies is they're not Jack or Samara; just one of the other people in your squad gets carried off.

My larger point was, was that like several others, he wasn't necessary to the suicide mission. He doesn't have to be recruited. And if that's the case, or if he died during the suicide mission, making him integral to something in mass effect 3 is something that just doesn't work out one way or another; not unless they pull a DA2 and ressurect everyone who died, saying snidely, "You only thought they were dead".

[Hadeedak]

Well, that's true of all the Mass Effect 2 squad minus Joker, even Tali and Garrus. And Garrus is the only one (unless I missed something) with two potential vital roles -- fire team leader and one of the hold the line duo.

We know he's coming back, but (like Grunt, Kasumi and Zaheed), the context for it is pretty open. I'm hoping for something good. Of course, unless he's falling over mid firefight and coughing, I'm probably going to approve. Thane's seriously awesome.

I tend to switch things up when doing the Suicide Mission. It worked out really well. I mix things up with Thane. I don't want him to feel useless when I bring someone else with me like Tali and Jack to the final battle.

And I agree, he isn't really required for SM. And I would be pretty angry if they pulled the DA2. But the Mass Effect writers are better then the DA writers.

To be fair, a lot of people weren't necessary for the Suicide mission- there were three tech people, two bubble babes, three fire team/distraction leaders..... when it comes down to it, unless you needed their upgrade for the ship, there were several redundancies on the team that you could go on without.

We'll see about the work the Mass Effect writers can do in ME3. A few days more and then we'll all see.

[Thrazesul]

I refuse to believe Bioware would do that to him and to us, to give us so many hints and just throw Thane away with no option. I just refuse to believe it.

[Hadeedak]

I will say I usually take Thane to the reaper. "ASSASSINATE THIS. Godspeed."

And I'm going to make a prediction right now.

Thane will be in the game. Some people will think his part is awesome. Some people will think it's awesome but want more. And some people will rage.

[Thrazesul]

Meh. I'd not get anywhere in ME3 if he would die somewhere, because I would reply the mission over and over until I found the right choice where he doesn't die. xD

Pretty much this.
I don't think it's anything that great they have planned for him. Also why would they do that for him? Miranda I could understand, but I don't see that for Thane. I could be wrong, but I just don't see why they would do that. Also I don't think there is anyone so important to the story that they can't show one shot of them. One little shot would not have hurt anything, and it would have been something nice for his fans. The lack of information and not seeing him has me worried.

I just cannot see them out and out killing Thane with no possibility for any other outcome. They teased his possible recovery too much in ME2 to just throw that all out the window.

First when he talks about the Hanar working so hard to create a cure for his illness, even if he does believe that he will be dead before they finish their research, and second in his dossier in the Shadow Broker's base where you learn that he could be getting treatment but he has turned it down (presumably because he no longer cares if he lives or dies).

Also, when you romance him in ME2, he realizes that he is not as ready to die as he thinks he is, and suddenly gets his resolve to fight to stay alive back in him.

In a game where you are supposed to be able to determine the outcome, this is way too much of a tease to not have the option of saving him if you do the right thing.

This.

This is the only thing that speaks for being able to save him somehow. All those hints and clues would just be idiotic and cruel to bring up if they havn't planned being able to stop his death somehow.

I'm not gonna be like some trolls and say that I will never buy any Bioware games if he would have a scripted death in ME3, but I sure as hell won't have much faith in them and won't dare to get attached to any characters of theirs anymore.
