ME and ME2 I can happily replay and find myself immersed in the experience. I love those games. I wanted to love ME3 but it disappointed me in the worst way. Not just because of Thane but because of the dismissive treatment of non-squadmate characters in general, the abundance of auto-dialogue, the endless fetch quests and unhelpful journal.

Regarding the sidelined characters, BioWare brought it on themselves by having 12 squadmates in ME2. It was too much. Still, I agree that what was done to some of them was just downright insulting. (Jacob, anyone?) Some were treated decently, but they ALL deserved better. I'd say that maybe they shouldn't have created so many characters for ME2, but I don't want to let any of them go.

Ah, auto dialogue. It didn't bother me as much as I thought it would, but there were a few moments when my Shepard ceased being my Shepard. Even some of the dialogue choices, especially the ones regarding Kaidan, none of them fit with my Shepard. I was forced to tell a man I didn't really care for that I was "sorry for cheating on him." Not to beat this dead horse, but it's not cheating if you're dead for two years. It's Kaidan's fault for not moving on.

Fetch quests were just mineral scanning, which I didn't have a huge problem with in ME2. A little repetitive, and makes later playthroughs a bit of a drag, but I'm okay with it. (Or maybe I'm not, as I abandoned my second playthrough before Rannoch.)

CITADEL: IMPROVED POWER GRID... scroll up for ten minutes to find relevant quests.....
  

All the hard work they put into making him so interesting, appealing and engaging in ME2 was flushed down the drain. It didn't matter that fans loved the character and campaigned for the Cure Thane option. It's like they felt he wasn't worth the resources or effort yet characters like Allers were added to the game and able to be put on the Normandy. It's quite saddening.

Sad Thane agrees.

I think the worst thing for me is that I loved ME1 at the time it came out, then I got ME2 and I got spoiled, if I could've chosen my squadmates in ME3...well...they'd all be ME2 characters. Why didn't they do that, let you select your squad instead of being handed squadmates you really don't like/need?

[utaker1988]

I have a chocolate stash consisting of peanut butter cups and mounds. I love peanut butter and coconut, probably not mixed together though. I can't believe I typed the word peanut this time. I normally refer to it as peeeenusss butter. You are a very giving person to share. I am normally greedy with mine. List of things I don't share: peanut butter cups, fudge, tapioca pudding, canadian pea soup (the kind in the yellow can), and bacon. Especially that last one, I have smacked people's hands before for touching that. I would share with Thane willingly, well except the bacon he'd have to share his ridges first.

Wait. Peanut butter and ridges? Oh I could imagine to do SOMETHING out of this. You should definately share this with Thane Utaker xD

But I agree.... I wouldn't share the bacon too. Except for ridges... perhaps

This one is love:

Oooooook all your love and the chocolate and the booze and the ridges - well espacially the ridges - did it, I am not angry or sad anymore. I am just grin all over myself and imagine PDS and Utaker defend their stashes against me *hehehe*

QFT.

Anyway, people tend to focus on the ending(s) being terrible.  This is just one problem in a host of problems regarding ME3.  I disliked the auto-dialogue, because 80% of the time my Shepard would say something I couldn't picture her saying.  I disliked the automatic flirting with James.  You think they would have learned not to do that after the sh*tstorm with Jacob.  I disliked the small squad, half-full of characters I honestly didn't care about.  The sidequests and quest tracking in itself were terribly executed.  The Reapers chasing you through the systems when scanning was far more annoying than fun.  I could go on, but you get the point.

And what the heck happened to the high resolution texture pack for PC players?  it was supposed to come packaged with the initial release and it still doesn't exist.   /facepalm

I seriously miss the sidequests in ME1/ME2.  They were so much more interesting and like mini-stories in themselves.  I wish they would have done the same thing in ME3 instead of the whole 'creeper Shepard eavesdrops on random NPCs, scans a planet and returns with said useless artifact/junk'.  How boring.

As for DLC, I'm not giving them one more dollar.  I'm interested to see how this 'Extended Cut' thing works out, but I have a feeling it's going to be a half-*ss bandaid fix so people will stop complaining.

Until they fix what happened with Thane, I'm not buying a single DLC from them.  I believe the Mass Effect 2 characters, especially the romances, deserved far better.

Sorry, I went off on a kind of non-Thane tangent there.

*hands over some chocolate* And take some of the ridges too 

But - of course - I totally agree. Perhaps we should buy them time? Because it seems it wasn't only Thane who got sacrificed to it.Hm.... I have to see perhaps I can hand them some time over with the fanbook at all.

This whole thing makes me cry again. We waited two years and got him killed by this...... argh.

Yes, you can stop her from saying that...keep Ashley alive.  She still says she's there to see Ashley but for me it was less painful to hear it was Ashley she was seeing and not Kaidan.   I just figured it would seem less cruel to tell him I was seeing a girlfriend as opposed to an ex who had been droning on about me to him earlier.   

And everytime I'm reminded of my Shep saying the above, I keep thinking that it's some really sadistic dig at Thane.  Why yes, I was here to see Kaidan...also means...NOT you Thane.  Ouch.  He got hurt protecting me.  Yes, he was protecting me, like one does for someone they love, unlike you who is in this hospital barely holding on to life.  Ouch.  Let's see how many more ways Shep can subtly let Thane know he was nothing more than a fling and make him feel like crap.  Because that's exactly what a dying man needs, to know that the one woman in 10 years that woke him up and caused him to love again is standing here acting like the cruelest b*tch in the galaxy.

While I'm at it, let's NOT ask about your son INSTEAD let's do some make out scene where I make some really god awful noise.  Yay!!!  Shep the Porn Queen!!!    Then I will further reinforce that you meant nothing by not having another conversation with you.  Follow that up with a side of "oh you got stabbed, sit here and bleed out while I do NOTHING to help you."   Oh then the death scene, Oscar winning performance by Shep there.  If she were going for the award, "Best Impersonation of a Rock."  Yes, Thane on top of ALL the other douchebaggery things I've just done to you, I have another rabbit to pull out of the "Let's Make Thane Feel Worthless" hat.  I won't say I love you and how much you meant to me.  I won't cry, I won't mention you again...EVER.  I won't even console your son, I'm just that much of an azzhat.

Don't bother waiting for Shep across the sea, this Shep you got in ME3 deserves to be tossed in the sea with a pair of cement shoes.

Yeah, I'm still a bit angry over how Thane and his romance with Shep was treated.  Actually, no, not a "bit angry", I'm still in a furious rage.

Getting to choose squadmates would have been my ideal scenario as well. The problem is that there are so many of them (12 in ME2 plus Liara and Ash/Kaidan from ME1). Also, due to the Suicide Mission, all ME2 squadmates can die. That didn't stop BW from making Tali and Garrus squadmates in ME3 but everyone else from ME2 got sidelined so BW could focus on a select few. It's pretty unfair to people who connected more with the ME2 squad. At the very least the love interests should have returned. The ME3 squad could have consisted of:

Liara, Ash/Kaidan, Tali, Garrus, Thane, Miranda, Jack and Jacob

That's not too bad and it would have meant all the relationships could get decent focus/attention and interaction. New characters were not really needed. :/

You summed it up in all it's awful glory. I'm still in a furious rage, too.

To quote that Thane banner someone made: He should have meant more than that.

But - of course - I totally agree. Perhaps we should buy them time? Because it seems it wasn't only Thane who got sacrificed to it.Hm.... I have to see perhaps I can hand them some time over with the fanbook at all.

This whole thing makes me cry again. We waited two years and got him killed by this...... argh.
And beause I just looked through my screenshots again:
Can someone stop her saying this?

Yes, you can stop her from saying that...keep Ashley alive.  She still says she's there to see Ashley but for me it was less painful to hear it was Ashley she was seeing and not Kaidan.   I just figured it would seem less cruel to tell him I was seeing a girlfriend as opposed to an ex who had been droning on about me to him earlier.   

And everytime I'm reminded of my Shep saying the above, I keep thinking that it's some really sadistic dig at Thane.  Why yes, I was here to see Kaidan...also means...NOT you Thane.  Ouch.  He got hurt protecting me.  Yes, he was protecting me, like one does for someone they love, unlike you who is in this hospital barely holding on to life.  Ouch.  Let's see how many more ways Shep can subtly let Thane know he was nothing more than a fling and make him feel like crap.  Because that's exactly what a dying man needs, to know that the one woman in 10 years that woke him up and caused him to love again is standing here acting like the cruelest b*tch in the galaxy.

While I'm at it, let's NOT ask about your son INSTEAD let's do some make out scene where I make some really god awful noise.  Yay!!!  Shep the Porn Queen!!!    Then I will further reinforce that you meant nothing by not having another conversation with you.  Follow that up with a side of "oh you got stabbed, sit here and bleed out while I do NOTHING to help you."   Oh then the death scene, Oscar winning performance by Shep there.  If she were going for the award, "Best Impersonation of a Rock."  Yes, Thane on top of ALL the other douchebaggery things I've just done to you, I have another rabbit to pull out of the "Let's Make Thane Feel Worthless" hat.  I won't say I love you and how much you meant to me.  I won't cry, I won't mention you again...EVER.  I won't even console your son, I'm just that much of an azzhat.

Don't bother waiting for Shep across the sea, this Shep you got in ME3 deserves to be tossed in the sea with a pair of cement shoes.

Yeah, I'm still a bit angry over how Thane and his romance with Shep was treated.  Actually, no, not a "bit angry", I'm still in a furious rage.

Ha! God i was so pissed off when Shep said that, I was like no, that is NOT what I want my shepard to say.. and from that moment everything involving Thane just started going completely downhill, and I knew that Thane wasn't going to get a good story..

Indeed. This wasn't what Margurite would have done. Margurite LOVED Thane, with all her heart. Hell, lying on that bed in the detention centre, Thane was the only person she thought about. She only allowed herself to be "captured" (and she didn't really allow it at all to be honest) because she knew that if she ran Thane would be put in danger too. By the end of their ME2 romance (in my headcanon, several weeks after Arrival, which would have been about 3 months after SM) she had come to think of Thane as her husband, even if the subject of marriage never came up between them.

Thane wasn't a fling for Margurite. Kaidan was! And she only "hooked up" with him because she was feeling vulnerable and thought she was going to die, and Kaidan was the only man on board who was a willing orgasm donor.

Anyway, it turns out I'm writing the Introduction for the Thane Fanbook Project. Do you guys mind if I use some of your posts for inspiration? Especially you three, Aislinn, coldi and utaker. I think you three are far more eloquent than I when it comes to this. ..

Can I have some chocolate too please? Thinking about Thane is making me sad again.

That said, I can't wait till I get to start fingering Thane.

...

No. You guys who know what I am really talking about... DON"T TELL THEM!!! Let me have my fun here!

Eloquent?  LOL...don't ever tell my Mom you used that word to describe anything I've ever said.  She'll say, "Are you talking about Tonya?  Her opinions tend to hit one with the gracefullness of a train wreck."  

Anywho, Cameron would never say such things to Thane.  She gave him the respect he showed her and the things she said and did in ME3...well, I raged because she would NEVER in a million years say crap like that to him.  Would she wrap her arms around him and kiss those lips of his, well yes she would but not to the extent of making a public spectacle of herself.  Those kind of noises she would make in private.  But she would never make him feel second best to anyone.  That hurt me deeply when she said she was there to see Kaidan because it was cruel.  Oh yeah, I got your message but I'm really not here to see you, you are just lucky I noticed you by the window or I would not have bothered at all.    Nope, that was not my Shep.  She must be indoctrinated.

Cameron has pulled some awful and (especially toward batarians) some very racist stuff but she has never been a douche to Thane.  Even with all her quirks, faults, and prejudices she truly loved Thane and it killed her to be away from him.  From the moment ME3 started and they opened that door to her room and let her out, my first thought was, "Ok, where's Thane and how long until she gets to see him?"  I did love Cameron Shepard but after she treated Thane like crap, I didn't even like her anymore.  I wanted to kill my own creation.  Five years, a labor of love and I wanted to destroy it.  After the ending, after the tears and the rage, I looked at the screen and said, "Import this, I just killed EVERYONE just as you BW killed Thane's character and butchered my Shep's personality."  I really ended up destroying everything, Earth was annihilated, there was no cheering from London in my ending, nobody stepped off the Normandy, everything was gone and I cried when I realized I just may have killed Kolyat too.  Worst part of it all, I think my judgment was compromised due to lack of sleep.  I got the game at a midnight release, got home and sat and played for 30 straight hours with no sleep or breaks.  I won't do that again unless they fix Thane's romance, then I will.  

LOL...I remember being curled in a ball on the bed crying after I turned the game off.  My husband came in and told me to get some sleep, then I do remember laughing hysterically.  "The ending, it was so awful, Thane is dead, Shep is dead, the galaxy is screwed but I managed to strip that plot armor off Joker and Liara."  He did say later that I woke up real quick and said, "Did my space hamster make it?" and then fell right back to sleep.  It's a joke to him.  I'll get up in the middle of the night and he'll say, "Are you looking for Meep?"
