I too find it weird that Thane decided to leave Shepard alone with this burden... it seems he went from being one of the few in ME2 who asked after her wellbeing to... nothing at all? Am I right? Meh, I doubt even fanfiction could sort out this mess.

Also, the VA might not read the letters cause... well, drell have a different voice. He probably can't mimic it without Bioware. :(

Spoiler...

Ashely recites a portion of Invictus by Henley. How, what, why? I can't form a coherent sentence right now. The rumor as Invictus as a mission with Thane and now this? What does this mean? What is going on Bioware? Why are you doing this? I don't even know what went through their minds.


I am tempted to stop. I just wanna stop. I would rather play SWTOR than play this. I cannot believe I am writing that but its true. I am... disgusted.

Spoilers below.

So it seems like what happened in my m!Shep playthrough happens with a Shepard who romanced Thane...wow. I am really disappointed. Admittedly the duel between him and Kai Leng was badass, but he shouldn't have died if you romanced him at the very least.

I kinda saw his death coming and held out a bit of hope. But  I did not expect him to go out like that at all and not so early! I fully expected him to die in the end of Kepral's. Or for there to be a cure for Shepards who romanced him. But for him to die so soon in the game? And no one commenting on it? Really? I wonder if the lack of comments was the same for those who romanced him. My m!shep who considered Thane a really good friend was not pleased.

So I'm conflicted. I don't think I have the heart to import my Shepard who romanced him. I guess it was too much to hope for a happy, if optional, conclusion to the romance.

I'm just really tired of my favorite characters dying. It's like I have a curse. Thane was not the only one and he definitely was not the last.

Oh I had no idea!  Ugh.  I agree.  This is brutal. 

And for those playing an unromanced Thane or ManShep see below
SPOILER

I youtubed the other options as mine was a romanced Thane import - the dialogue is almost exactly the same with a few exceptions - VERY few.  So disappointing.

Sorry for the double post but I watched some youtube videos with the Garrus romance - I am now raging on the galaxy and think that Bioware needs to answer a few questions.
Thane did not deserve to be treated so poorly. Nor did his fans.

SPOILERS!

Ok, so I need to give my opinion on the Thane romance. (I haven't yet gotten Kai Leng back for what he caused.) 
On one hand, I think that it was decently handled. In terms of emotional intensity after all, his scenes were at the very top (his death scenes that is).
When he was fighting KL I was at the edge of my seat, horrified. When it turned out that the wounds weren't technically fatal, I felt relief...Terror when I learned that he needed blood for the surgery, and nobody was sure if Kolyat was ok. And then a sinking feeling when, even though the surgery was successful, Kepral's Syndrome ended up making it all for nothing. The scene with you reading the prayer with Kolyat was heartbreaking. As Shepard left she said, "I'll see you again soon." I was crying, paused the game for 5 minutes, felt depressed, and seriously considered stopping that Shepard and just starting a new one, before calming down.

And yet, it was also poorly handled. 
The conversation with Thane in the hospital lobby fell into the same black hole that Garrus' "calibrations" did. There was so much time in which you could have talked to Thane, but there was only one conversation tree. His attitude there also seems a bit odd in terms of character development. In the romance scene in ME2, Thane is frustrated and crying when he realizes that he cannot accept death because he feels that he has something to live for again. And yet, when you see him in the hospital, he is back to (almost the same) condition he was in before that happened. It was...odd. Even though 6 months had passed.

But then, I'm the idiot who romanced the terminally ill character. Which is, I suppose, why I intend to make this Shepard die at the end. Hahaha



Sorry for the wall of text. Just had a lot to say on the topic :)

My thoughts;

I knew it was coming, the only thing that really kinda annoyed me was the fact that no one bothered to really mention him after the fact. I loved Thane as a character in ME2, and the short amount of time he was in ME3 he was still pretty awesome!

Though, I find this conclusion to possibly be the better one... if my Shepard has a grim fate in the end anyway, she may as well join him again in this manor.


My only question, does anyone know what happens if you do not romance anyone in ME3? Feel free to PM me if you'd like.

Oh believe me, if I was... this ALL would have turned out quite differently.

Can someone explain why I can't see all the spoiler messages, all I see are blank boxes and gaps? Is it my pc or does everyone see it too?

As sad as it is, I saw it coming a long time ago.

I knew from the moment Mac said: "It's about the journey not the destination" that this was not going to be a happy story. The only solace I can find is that during the time that everyone has with their LI, it was a happy one. I don't feel like there's really anything that they missed out on in their lives other than being together for a longer period of time.They lived, they loved, they literally saw the unknown. Don't get me wrong, I'm still very much unhappy, but nothing lasts forever.

They missed a lot of opportunities to do great things with character relationships. To be honest, it felt hasty and glossed-over in a lot of places. The main events got a lot of wonderful attention, but everything else...

Don't even get me started on the annoyingly vague, cop-out endings.

I kinda (emphasis on kinda) like that the endings are crap just so it makes it easier for me to relax into my own headcanon haha or maybe I'm just delusional and really depressed -_-

In all honesty, I need to see the ending for myself  and maybe then it'll be easier to speculate on possible theories. Text just isn't enough sometimes.

Yep, all of this.  Why aren't you the writer Aislinn??  :wizard:  Just some better dialogue with Thane would have made me so much happier. 

Ugh.  It's so hard to continue playing.  Plus there are gameplay issues that bug me.  And there are bugs, which also bug me.  :whistle:

Ok and another double post but for anyone on twitter
@GambleMike just said this - "Hardest.Day.Ever. Seriously, if you people knew all the stuff we are planning...you'd, well - hold onto your copy of me3 forever"

Interesting yes?

Not unless they're bringing Thane back from the dead. I'm finding it really hard to get into the game. I just explored a virtually empty Normandy and totally empty life support.

Hmmmm...Honestly, considering the game's endings, I'm wondering how the any potential dlc or expansion packs would work for this game. (not trying to be negative, just genuinely curious)

Sorry that this doesn't mention Thane (and is in the Thane thread) D:

I know.  I play the MP just to keep playing.  The story is depressing.  And not that enjoyable really.

I saw that... doesn't really have anything to do with this thread, but that does sound interesting. 

Post-game DLC? New squad mate? New endings?

Ooh that was brutal. I felt this feeling of loss when I went into that dark room. I could just see what my headcanon Shep would have done in that empty room. She would have sat on Thane's chair and sobbed with her head on the table, till her eyes were puffy and swollen.  But in game Shep didn't give a rats ass apparently.

Did any of you cry when Thane passed?

Thane was one of those in the middle characters (neither liked or disliked) but I cried so hard when he died. I was happy to see Kolyat there.And the little twist with the last rites was nice, when it turned out he was he praying for Shep. When he was in the hospital in the beginning of the game and he said he'd watch over Kaidan I wanted to hug him.

Yep. ME3 is the first video game that I've outright cried to. I'm pretty sure everyone one this thread did, hahahaha

I tweeted to Mac Walters, I had too.

@macwalterslives In #ME3, Thane Krios storyline. I had hoped if he was your LI then you could save him, but nothing. No chance. Why?
