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


I have been wondering for some time who wrote Thane in ME3. I guess no one wants to take credit for the terrible way he was written.


I feel like no one wrote him.  Seriously.  Just a bunch of jumbled conversations from a bunch of different writers strung together to make some semblance of a character arc.  It's all feels so rushed that that could be a reasonable explanation.  Especially when we hear things like "it's hard when it's a group of writers, we forgot."  Or a robot.  Although I feel like a robot would have done a better job.  Posted Image  Or maybe Kaidan's writer did it - hence the reason we keep getting shoved to Kaidan. 

And Tasha!!!  Welcome back!!!!  Posted Image

Edit - ToP!!

 No one in their right mind would take credit for writing Thane's part this time around. Whoever did it has probably changed their name and went into hiding.:bandit:

If they thought they did an awesome job then that person doesn't know or understand Thane's character at all.

It's like said person didn't do their homework and actually y'know review the romance in ME2 and then write his character.

If this was due to human error or budget/time constraints is hard to say.
If it was the first..then serious shame on BW.
If it was the latter, then epic shame on you EA...Posted Image

Le giant sigh.....

Y u no like ma writin' ladiessss!!  He was dying, he accepted his death, y u women no get that?  Really?  Y u no research his character and find out he wasn't leading a death parade at the end of ME2?  Y u no do that?  

Thane:  Good afternoon, Siha.
Shep:  Still sitting in this chair, staring out the window?
Thane:  Yes, the BW writers don't think I'm big boy enough to do something else.
Shep: Private time?
Thane:  Sorry Siha, we can only do that once then I have to reject you over and over.
Shep:  Yeah, you're right we apparently aren't adult enough for more than one groping session.
Thane: Besides, my love, that noise you made.  :sick: 
Shep:  Hey, do not go there, who exactly made the first groan?  TYVM.
Thane:  It was nothing like yours.  What were you doing in my absence?  Porn, perhaps?
Shep:  So we are to just sit here?
Thane:  Yes until that glorious moment.
Shep:  Which one?  Where this whole mess is rewritten.
Thane:  If only that were true but no, when I fight Leng.
Shep:  Oh yeah, don't expect any help from me.  You won't get it.
Thane:  That is cruel, Siha.  Do you not love me?
Shep:  Not that day.
Thane:  I am pained.
Shep:  How do you manage to get there so fast, you know, your lungs are crap, you get dizzy, how do you do it?
Thane:  For one epic moment, the writers forgot I was dying, maybe?
Shep: Convienent, you are only dying when it suits the need for drama.
Thane:  At least you will be there when I am taking my last breath, in a bed I did not want to die in.
Shep:  Expect no sympathy from me either.  I won't care.
Thane:  You are a monster, Siha.  Why do I love you?
Shep:  I do not know but I know I love you, at least I did 
Thane:  Why must it be this way?  
Shep:  I do not know, why am I here anyway?
Thane:  To see me.
Shep:  I think not, I was here to see Kaidan not you.  It is just dumb luck I noticed you in the corner, barely visible, you know Kaidan, right?
Thane:  Yes, the human biotic.  You two were once close.
Shep:  Yeah he was the one riding me before you came along.
Thane:  Siha!  Must you be so crude?
Shep:  Well, you needn't worry I'm not going to choose him but BW will think I want him anyway.  He'll be trying to dry hump me until the end of the game.
Thane:  I am saddened by this.  Was our love worth nothing.
Shep:  It wasn't.  I'm sorry Thane.
Thane:  It is not your fault, we were dealt a bad hand.
Shep:  Shouldn't we at least try to fight for our love?
Thane:  What does the dialogue wheel say?
Shep:  Goodbye, Thane and Private Time.  Oh I can ask about your illness again or try to get you on the Normandy, which you will refuse to do.
Thane:  Hmmmm....that is disquieting.
Shep:  Well, I guess this is it, isn't it?  Our love reduced to this pile of garbage.
Thane:  We always knew it would come to an end.
Shep:  Says who?  Who knew that?  Don't say that again, I hate that line.  Sounds like you are breaking up with me.
Thane:  Perhaps I am.  Perhaps I am not.  I'm not really sure of my intentions.
Shep:  After accepting my private time and sexy moans, you best not be dumping me Thane.  
Thane:  Live well in the time you have left Siha.
Shep:  Do not brush me off like that, Thane.
Thane:  It is all I have left to say.
Shep:  Private time?
Thane:  :blink:

This made me laugh.
It also is sad because it's pretty much what bioware turned the romance into. They made it into nothing.

I actually thought it might have been more than one person wrote him.  One person did it and then passed it on to someone else. None of them really understanding his character.

I agree. From what Patrick said, and the multiple non-sequiters, I think that multiple people wrote him, and most of them had no idea what his character was like.

great dialogue utaker, such a shame that it is right on the money.

Maybe there were multiple writers but you can bet that if we'd all loved it, we'd know who they were.

Doesn't seem to me that hardly anyone who chose the Thane romance (or the Jacob romance) is happy about it, that's a pretty damning failure on the part of BioWare... I know that you can't please everyone but to ****** of the majority? so so stupid.

I've definitely been getting more grumpy about this mess, I want it fixed, or I want to know for sure that it never will be.

Seriously, that made me cackle. As for the writing, I'm gonna have to agree it was probably several people who had no idea what to do with Thane's character. Not to mention, they also didn't know crap about the romance. This is total assumption, but I think Walters probably wanted him to die for emotional impact so they decided to not even bother developing his interactions much.  I remember reading somewhere some of the writers actually wanted to be able to keep him alive.

Anyway, they had to 'pull resources' from him for other things.  Like Liara's nude texture.  Ya know.

I was hoping to see Thane's butt without the buttcape finally, cause he'd have a new outfit. Then it be completely nude and everything at some point. Guess I'll have to stick with this screen.

My screenshot!   :lol:

Yeah, why the hell didn't Thane get a new look like some of the other characters did?
I was excited about that before the game released, thinking it was some big secret. Turns out they just didn't care.

They totally need to make up for this with a shirtless Thane romance scene.  At the least.  :P
