HELLOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So after going through a nightmare of exchanging accounts back and forth and EA support offering very little in terms of support. I decided to create a new account and register my ME3 game on that account.

And then I STILL couldn't post on the forums after that. And it wasn't until now that I have finally been able to reply on my own topic! The bad news is that my old account still can't post in the ME3 forums which means I can not edit the OP. But spoilers are allowed! (But I'm guessing everyone gathered that ;D

Sorry for being MIA for so long. I will post on this account now (obviously, I am Tasha Vas Nar Rayya. But I have returned with improved Quarian grammar!)

Welcome back!!:)

Sigh, EA really need a less nerve-racking registering and posting in the forums system, don't they?

Second page for this thread? On no, no way, we're not letting THAT stand!

And a little Thane wallpaper, made for the Fanbook project!!

Oh, you are telling me! So I do apologise about not being able to change the OP. I wish I could. And I am glad to be back on BSN! I have missed posting here, especially when I have the likes of mnomoha and mythlover always telling me how much I am missing.

So then, I have a question to ask.

We all know who is the best kisser But who is the second best kisser in the Mass Effect series?

You mean there are other options?????  I did not get that memo.    I really do not know.  I'd go with Feron but I'd feel wrong about it.  Vega?  I'm stumped.  

[Verly]

I know for a fact that my femshep Penny has been hinting to Liara that she better go after her rainbow Drell. She doesn't think Liara is listening. it's a darn shame too. lol

Garrus has mastered the double black diamond dipsmooch.

But I'm not sure if he REALLY qualifies with the semimetallic exoskeleton and all.

[Cyansomnia]

I watched the Garrus romance on YouTube and it's (currently) my favorite in ME3. John Dombrow did such a fantastic job with him. He also wrote Wrex and Javik. I wish they would have put someone like him in charge of Thane.



He was also a Mass Effect fan before he was a writer on the team.  It really shows.

Interview.

TASHA!!!!!! *TACKLEGLOMP*

Hi!

Glad you're back! Haven't even seen you on facebook for ages.

[mythlover20]

Okay, everyone. Here's my entry for the Tribute. I hope you like it.

It's a stream of consciousness taking place in Margurite's head as she is talking to Thane that first time in Huerta.

I have to say now that I deliberately didn't read Emerald's post, but from what I can gather, it may be similiar, but I don't know. I tried to avoid everyone else's posts to avoid that. In fact the only one's I've read are Cosmo's and Moira's and that's because they asked me to go over them for them. So if it is similiar, or a blantant ripoff, I'm sorry Emerald. I tried not to! 

Anyway, here it is:




How could you do this to me?

You promised me you would fight this. You promised me you
would fight for us. You promised me you would stay by my side until the fight
was over, and we had either won or were left trampled in the dust. Well, the
fight is not over, but you’ve left me anyway.

Do you think it’s better this way? Do you think it will be
any easier out there without you by my side? Do you think pushing me away,
throwing away everything we were together, is really the best option for us
both?

Or are you still trying to protect me, even if it’s only
from bad memories? You always have before, whether it was from a stray bullet
or even my own mind. Are you still doing it? You have to be, because the
alternative is something I can’t even consider.

Or… was it really my incarceration? You have to know that I
didn’t go willingly, whatever I told Hackett! Why would I, when I had you
waiting for me? When we had so little time left, why would I jeopardize it any
more than it already had to be?

You have to be here. I get that. I understand. I still think
that Chakwas could take care of you, but if you feel that you need to be here,
to be with your son, I can respect that. But, damn it, Thane, why does that mean
you have to push me away? You are the only thing that keeps me going. The
thought of you, that you were out there, somewhere in the vastness of space,
was the only thing that got me through that debacle of a trial and my
imprisonment. You said you wrote to me. Well, I wrote to you too. Every day. If
I couldn’t see you, or hold you, at least I could write to you. Though, I have
to think that you didn’t get them either, or we wouldn’t be here, our
relationship in tatters, and you sitting there, calmly looking in my eyes,
telling me that what we had was ultimately worth nothing.

Do you know what was in those letters? Everything!
Everything I felt during our fight against the Collectors, how confused you
made me when we first met. How… how I fell in love with you, a strong,
kind-hearted man, the first man I had ever met who wasn’t star struck by the
legend of Commander Shepard. You turned my world upside down, sent me spinning,
and then picked me up and set me right again, but you took half my soul with
you.

Please, don’t do this. Don’t throw us away. I can’t do this
without you, not anymore. Everyone else may rely on me, but I rely on you, on
your words of wisdom whispered to me in the dead of night, on your rifle at my
back, on you in my heart.

Please, I’ve never done this before, but I’m begging now. Don’t
abandon us. No matter what happens, we can make it work. Please just say you’ll
try!

I love you, Thane, with all my heart. Now and for always.

Wow, I hadn't read that interview before.  You're right; his passion for the game and the IP really shows.  He and Pat Weekes wrote my favorites parts of ME2 and ME3.

Well, if it's any consolation, he'll be working on the ending DLC.  Maybe there's hope after all.

[utaker1988]

I love it myth, it is beautifully truthful, sad and heartbreaking.

I tried to do something like that but it turned into complete anger, actually it ended with Cameron turning around after, throwing a printed copy of his LotSB letter at him and then screaming, "You awoke me, Shepard. My heart quickened its sluggish beat if only to remain at your side and protect you with everything that I am."....."Do you remember writing that? You said you would protect me!!! Now you sit here unwilling to get up off your ass and help me now? What is wrong with you?"...."Do not do this to me Thane Krios, don't you dare!!"...."I love you. If all else whispers back into the tide, know this for fact. By grace given me by the Goddess Arashu, I bid her divine protection to you, my warrior-angel, my Siha, to succeed in your destiny."...."I don't f**ing want Arashu's protection, I want YOURS!! You said you would!! Don't you dare leave me now!!"..."I love you Thane, more than I've ever loved anyone before. I'm heading out into Hell and to know you are sitting here like this will kill me. No, I'm sorry I'm not going to accept you want to sit here like this." Then she storms out and comes back a few minutes later, "I'm sorry Thane but I cannot accept this. I also can't accept that you would be willing to question me about Kaidan, kiss me, then make out with me, then tell me 'we always knew it would come to an end' Who does that? Lead me on then give me this 'end' crap. Sorry Thane, I love you but I will not accept that" (smacks him over the head with her shoe and carries him out of the hospital).

Yeah, Cameron has anger issues.

Phew. That's a relief. I really was worried there for a while.

Yeah, Margurite definitely went a bit Renegade while she was incarcerated. And that was coming from a full Paragon, from someone who was always helping others, forsaking herself for the greater good. Which I guess is what got her in that position in the first place. She definitely would have sniffed something foul during Arrival and may have actually acted upon it if she was more Renegade.

But yeah, she's still stinging from the Alliance's betrayal, and Hacketts, and Kaidan's to be honest. Even though she had a relationship with him, she wasn't in love with him. It was definitely a "friends-with-benefits" thing on her part, and since she doesn't have that many friends, any betrayal cuts her like a knife. She's become a lot angrier since her arrest, and, well, truth be told, I don't fully know why. I just noticed that she started taking more and more Renegade options while I was playing her, almost without my say-so. Then I noticed she was acting more and more Paragon  between getting Thane's email and getting to the Citadel (I was in the middle of the Sur Kesh missions at the time). Then THAT happened and well, nope, Margurite's gone Renegon. I personally think she's lost the will to live after that, even though she doesn't know it herself. Her resurrection really ****ed her over mentally, and truth be told, she never really got over it.

It just makes me sad and angry that Thane did have this kind of writer to write for him in ME3.
I have done the romance for Garrus myself, and it's very sweet. I just keep wondering why they couldn't or wouldn't do this for Thane.

[wildannie]

 @mythlover20,  that's beautiful, I love it.
@utaker1988, love that angry rant too :lol:

@Aislinn, interesting interview, I take it we don't know who was responsible for the Thane mess yet?  or have I missed something?  

[utaker1988]

After thinking about it and writing what I did about Cameron for the tribute, I realized something. She NEVER got over what those batarians did to her family and friends on Mindoir. She's been messed up since then and crap only got worse for her. Alliance!! Yay!! Guns, revenge, Torfan!! She still wasn't happy. Kaidan, nothing more than convenience on her part, too bad he felt more than that. It did not bother her either, she always emotionally detached herself from things. Getting spaced, yeah waking up after two years dead did nothing for her inner bitterness. Having someone else play God with her life really pissed her off. Then came Thane, she fell hard and deep. She was confused. What were these feelings? But she accepted them and finally put her heart, soul, and emotions out there. This turned into a general sense of compassion toward everyone.

She thought about her long standing hatred for batarians but that ugly monster reared its head again when she found out who killed Irikah. This man who opened her up, now tells her how Irikah died. Yeah, that fire raged again. In the past, she would have told everyone to stop being so whiny and deal with their personal issues themselves. Not after Thane, she found herself wanting to help them, wanting them to be happy and as content as she was in life. Do you really think she warned those batarians in Arrival? No and she wasn't sorry about it either. Then she gets dragged back to Earth and finds her happiness ripped from her again.

Finds Thane and gets well, we all saw it. We all got the same thing. Crap. Regardless of the fact he was sitting in the hospital looking pathetic and she was pissed off that he was giving up, she at least held one tiny shred of peace in that he was still out there. Then he dies. Her emptiness. She felt like she was 16 again and just saw everything she ever loved and knew taken from her. It was too much to bear. Her heart, her will to live died with Thane in that hospital room. She, once again, was left alone and empty.

After all this crap, all her friends (I use that term loosely at this point), the Alliance, Council, heck the galaxy was counting on her to save them. C'mon now, really. Each of them, friends, Alliance, Council have each turned their back on her at some point in her life and as she lay mourning, drowning in pain not one darn person holds out a hand and says, "I'm so sorry, I'm here if you need me." No, instead the ask for MORE!! WTF!! At that point, she realized she was nothing to nobody, no matter what she did or how hard she tried it was never enough. Well sorry, there is only so much one is capable of giving. Go help yourselves.

She needed Thane more than ever at that point and he was gone. She knew that no matter how many times she fell, no matter how many times she screwed up or was just too tired to keep walking he would have held out his hand to help her. And he was gone, just like her family, gone. Never coming back. She didn't want Arashu's protection, would Arashu hold her at night when she had nightmares? Would Arashu step in front of her and take a bullet for her, like Thane did so many times? No, I think not. She wanted Thane but he was gone.

Do you think I enjoy hearing Thane say, "I will always be here to talk". No. I do not because it hurts knowing full well that he won't always be there. When I need him in that room the most he is gone. I want to beat someone over the head with my shoe.

[Hadeedak]

Yeah, I really wonder why no one's admitted to writing him.

I would be scared too knowing how mad some people are.  If it were me, I'd never open my mouth about it EVER.  But then again, if it were me, he'd get the cure he deserved and a proper romance.  

[Hadeedak]

I'm sticking by my theory that someone wrote half of it, left to get doughnuts, forgot to write the rest of it and the aftermath, and it accidentally got sent up the chain as a finished product.

[mythlover20]

Yeah, that actually makes sense. Probably not what happened, but it makes sense.

And if I was the one who wrote that for Thane (not that I would have because i would have done it properly too) I'd be in hiding until the day I died.

[Moira-chan]

myth, your contribution is incrediale, had tears in my eyes T_T

[Hisilome]

I'd say whoever was in charge of Thane-and dropped the ball, as they admitted from BW it happened-really has no wish to come forward and with good reason!O.o

My contribution to the tribute, as well:

Commander Samantha R. Shepard
Designation: Private Log
Encryption:Optimal
Theme Tag: Thane Krios

I had gone to the Dantius Towers on Illium in search of an assassin to recruit. My mind was solely focused on the task at hand, dealing with Cerberus, dealing with the Collectors…dealing with the fact I had just come back from the dead after 2 years of my life had passed me by.

I acted as if everything was as it had been, as if nothing was amiss and I was fairly sure, I had everyone fooled, including myself. I thought only of the mission, of getting things done, while at the same time I felt…void, empty, a stranger to the very world I had known before the original Normandy was destroyed and I had died.

And then Thane Krios swept into my life-damn, that sounds so cliché to write.

I was captivated from the moment I saw him, a vengeful angel, I recall thinking, and nothing at all what I expected an assassin to be like.

And I was falling in love with him.

Talk about your bad timing, given the circumstances. He was dying and I was just back from the dead, taking on a mission that would, in all likelihood, just send me back to wherever it was I should have gone when the original Normandy was destroyed.

And yet, despite it all, or perhaps because of it all, we fell in love; desperately, perhaps, passionately definitely, hopelessly…never. Circumstances aside, we never really lost hope, we were both learning how to be alive again, after all, and life goes hand in hand with hope.

Which brings me to today, right now. Sitting in my Alliance-provided apartment in Vancouver, technically under house arrest, looking out the window overlooking the city, daydreaming about the man I love…and missing him terribly-damn, another cliché!

Wonder if we’ll ever see one another again…But I mustn’t think that-what was I writing about hope above?

If the Alliance are going to condemn me for what happened, they might as well add another charge to it all; because before I’m permanently grounded or jailed or both, I am honestly going to hijack the Normandy for one last run; to see Thane, my warrior angel.

Shepard out.

(Yup, nod to Aislinn's video in that last sentence, I couldn't help it, I LOVE that video!!)
