Hey, I'm delurking here because I've just finished ME3 and I still can't understand what happened, or better, what didn't happen with the character of Thane.
I truly understand your pain. I've romanced him once, I loved him overall as a characters.
And I have to admit I read months before the leaked spoiler. I knew he had to die, though I always hoped that somehow, someway, there could be an hidden way to save him till the end of the events of ME3 at least. Would have been THAT hard to have him around the hospital or the Normandy, so we could talk to him or have some comments now and then as the story progressed?
And then we come to the moment of his death. I was hoping at least to have that scene in the script, where he remembers the night with Shepard and he dies in her arms...
But no. Where was that scene? It was sad, it could tear my heart apart, but it was so fitting. If he had to die during the events of the game, that was a vastly superior scene.
Honestly, lovers or friends, my Shepards would have remained with him, why the hell we didn't even get the choice to leave someone with him, at the very least.
The scene at the hospital was maybe good for a friendly path. But what made me sad was not he scene per se, but the thought "And that is all for Thane in ME3? Nothing I could have done before? No more dialogues, nothing at all, and this is how it ends?". Yeah, the fight with Kai Leng was pretty epic but...even here, couldn't there be some kind of interrupt, maybe if Thane was loyal or given some specific dialogue choices, to avoid his death? Maybe he was wounded but not mortally and we could visit him again?
And then, after his death...as if nothing happened, Shepard walks away and goes shopping in the CItadel. Not really, but you get the point. I looked at the screen, hoping some dialogue would follow. Some comment from the companions, Garrus maybe? But no, no one notices he died.
Yeah, his name is on the wall, but even when Garrus is there we only mention Ashley and Mordin? The hell, I didn't even like Ashley.
I can perfectly understand if some of you hated the game which not-so-subtly pushed you toward Kaidan. I love Kaidan, my canon Shep is loyal to him from ME1, but from the point of view of a Shepard who romanced Thane is just horrible.
Anyway, I know I just said things which where said before...I just needed to vent somehow and tell you that I perfectly understand you and support your cause

Balanced out!'
Retour en haut
My imagination can take care of the rest...heck, it ran wild in ME2. My mind was like my daughter without her Adderall.
