I only used her when I had too, just like Liara, didn't take her with me unless I was forced too. But I'm like that, I pick a couple of people and that's it, I take them everywhere. I took Javik and James with me everywhere. I would have preferred Javik and Thane. I would play it forever with those two even if the ending sucked, I'd just end the game before the Catalyst. If not, well I sure as heck would not take them with me during the final push. I don't want Thane and Javik off on some planet with Joker. In that case, I'd take Garrus and Tali. That way they can continue that romance they had going on.

My husband saw me wearing it while we were watching "deadliest catch" last night and asked about it so I told him.
Then on the show one of the crew members from one of the boats had passed away at the end of the last season and they spread his ashes in the sea...this lead to a drunken tearful rant by me to my husband about how wrong bioware treated Thane...and ended with something about how when people die you honor them and don't forget them.
Can't even watch tv without bioware ruining it...

I took her with me maybe two or three times. One of them you have to take her. I just didn't find her that useful.
Most of the time I took Garrus and Vega. I took Javik with me a few times. I couldn't really find the right team in this game. I missed the ME2 squad a lot.

Wait wut second page uh nonono that won't do...Nope!
Here have some Thane/Kaidan banter now with 100% more love triangle!and elder trolling:
Thane is passing by the Portside lounge on the Normandy where Kaidan is drinking some alcoholic beverage:
Kaidan: So, Thane...
Thane: Alenko, I believe you are intoxicated...
Kaidan: I just... Ah screw it. There is no way I can keep this civil!
You hooked up with the Commander while she was working with Cerberus didn't you?
Seriously, what does she see in you huh?
Thane: "Hooked up" implies that I do not care for her, and nothing could be farther from the truth. As for what she sees in me, you had better ask her yourself.
Kaidan: You're saying you love her? Heh, funny thing that, because so do I. And even funnier she loved me too.
Thane: Then you should not have doubted her when she needed you the most Alenko.
Kaidan: Oh I had my reasons. She knew what Cerberus was about and she still joined them. She turned her back on the Alliance and me.
But still I love her. Heck even after cheating on me I do.
Thane: She did not cheat on you. You walked away from her. Not the other way around.
Kaidan: Oh, really? Didn't she leap into the arms of some widowed drell when I wasn't looking?
Bet ya' she didn't tell you about the night before Ilos huh?
Thane: This conversation is over.
Kaidan: Oh, I can tell you about it, Thane, it was wonderful!
There she was in the captain's quarters with that look on her face, both of us fearing tomorrow, telling me I make her feel like she could take on the universe!
And boy did I rock her galaxy!
Thane: *Clenches fist* Do not speak with me until you've sobered up…
Kaidan: Oooh, getting touchy are we Thane? So you fancy she can replace your late wife huh? Be a "mom" to Kolyat?
Afraid she’d want a family of her own? After all her biological clock is ticking…
Thane: Enough! You do neither yourself nor her credit acting like this. And that's Sere Krios to you. And Arashu forgive me, but next time you speak of her in that manner I will not stay my hand.
*Javik walks in through the door*
Javik: It is clear who has the weakest ground in this matter. I concur with the assassin. Drinking and arguing in this manner serves us no purpose. *Knocks Kaidan out cold*.
Thane: That was...
Javik: Well deserved.
In my cycle disgracing your commander was punishable with death.
Besides, her pheromones speak clearly on the matter of whom she desires to be” joined” with.
However in my opinion her genetic matter should be preserved for the future.
The Council has some strange rules regarding genetic modification across species.
A drell-human hybrid would be a most competent warrior. Even more so if it had both her and your skill in combat.
Thane: I...
Javik: You have already spawned an offspring. The legacy of the Commander should not be thrown away simply because of genetic difference.
*Javik walks out the door*
/Heh, joining in on the "green babies" craze. (Ivy Shepard would be totally up for it. Seriously she would!)
LOL I really do like Javik-he is sooo bluntly honest sometimes it hurts-in this banter's instance, it hurt Kaidan! And yep, it was well-deserved!

My hubby and I were out for a walk last night. I started on one of my frequent rants about how upset I am with the Thane romance storyline. I told him I just watched the first encounter with Thane at the hospital again. I was looking for screen shots of my LI Shepard and Thane for the love interest project and there are so few interactions, I had to watch that section again to get a picture. It was even more depressing than I remembered. The voice sounds like Thane, but that drell doesn't act much like the Thane she loves. I kept asking, "Who are you?"
Hubby looked at me and said flatly, "I think it is a Cerberus plot."
He then said, he thinks that drell wasn't the real Thane. That was a Thane imposter designed by Cerberus. They want Shepard to think he was Thane, and then Cerberus had the imposter killed. This would give Shepard a severe morale problem, causing her to lose the will to fight the Reapers.
Ha, ha, ha!! I had to laugh. He got me to smile anyway.
Then he said that the real Thane is off being cured.

It's still bad, trust me but now I know it could be worse.
I can buy the imposter Thane, I already think my Shep had a lobotomy, is already indoctrinated from Arrival, or still hallucinating in her cabin from that romp with Thane in ME2.

But I will be using that time to work on the fanbook, as well as lounging around the pool sipping cocktails.
But if the island has a decent connection, well, you wouldn't even know that I'm not home.
I also recieved a parcel notification today. but since it was anzac day today, I'll have to wait until morning to pick it up from the post office. I hope it's my wristbands, though it's probably my books.
oh, and guess what? I broke Thane. Now I need a new D-String.
.... I said D-String, lyd, not G-String. lol

I hope you have tons of fun! They have a daydream island? Hmmmm.... oh nevermind, I live in that plane of existence.
I saw G-String, I will admit it, it was the first set of words I saw in the post.
Almost hit Submit until my husband burst in and asked me a question. Who do I think is the best superhero Batman or Superman? I was already thinking of G-String, so I snickered and told him Thane in a G-String. He looked at me and said, "Would he be wearing a cape?" I started to laugh at the mental image, he left and said,"I'll come back later when you've wiped that image from your mind. I won't be able to talk to you before then."
Yeah I did answer him, I said "Neither"...they will both Kneel before ZOD!!!! Except Thane he would never kneel before Zod.

Aww noo Thane broken
But yeah, it's annoying when a string snaps on a stringed instrument.
But best wishes on your vacation! I hope you have fun!
@utaker1988
Hahaha, now I have that image in my head along with Garman (Batman-Garrus), and a caped Javik being led by the Super Spectre Shepard.!
And of course they are fighting the evils of Cereal Wing Killer and his master: The Indecisive Man!
Oh God, did I just post that......

Yeah, lyd saw G-String on facebook and, well, u and she would definitely get along VERY well.
Yes, there is a daydream island, sadly though, not that daydream. (DAMMIT)
Fingers crossed they will have internet access on the island, but I don't know, so just warning you all so DON"T DO ANY GOOD STUFF UNTIL I GET BACK! Please? I hate it when I miss the good stuff.

@little vixen & emerald - it is nice to have supportive peeps - my hubby thinks I'm raging lunatic, so I come here for support!
@utaker - Superman is the obvious choice, Given enough capital and lead time, anyone can be Batman. "I'm Batman" - see? You should see AbsoluteApril's Fenman
And back to Thane! I see this and just hear totally awesome music! And just picture that cape....and only a G-string (but still with the gun of course!)

Ooooh....Thane!!!! He's like a shiny new toy!! Speaking of Thane and well, Legion. That vid with Legion's new Hoodie and Thane's hamburger, my daughter will not stop watching it. She's resorted to going around the house dancing like Legion. It's just so cute and I had to explain it to my sister Monday night. We brought Courtney to the Comfort Inn so she could use the pool and water slides (yeah, real exciting but she misses her sister who is off with my parents on a cruise) and so Court swims, slides, and then comes over to us and puts on her pink hoodie...and yep, starts doing that Legion dance around the perimeter of the pool.
Other kids are staring at her, I'm laughing, my sister is puzzled and trying to get a picture of Courtney doing this with her iphone....yep, Court danced by and snatched the phone out of my sister's hands and said, "sorry Aunt Jenn, you didn't have a hamburger" and kept going. I love that kid, she is just like me, doesn't give a crap what others think of her as long as she's having fun. My sister got up to try and get the phone away from her, Courtney stops at the other end of the pool and says, "Your attacks are primitive." I died right there.
Come back here, Mr. Krios!!!
I'm sure your daughter is gonna be quite the character considering who her mom is. You sound very blessed.
I love this pic for some reason.

Any suggestions? I was thinking of making two different designs, one "casual" and one "combat".
Any thoughts on colours shape etc?

Try going with south asian/east asian influences. The drell seem to suit that over all.
#10472
Posté 26 avril 2012 - 02:18
Something laid back and comfy would be great.
The south asian influence is also a good suggestion.
Considering the naming conventions for the drell it is indeed most fitting.
Heh, I'm reminded of when I tried to have a go at female drell in formal wear.
Since I was sick of seeing the asari dresses everywhere, they ended up having a Mass Effect equivalent of sarees and dupatta, and oddly it fit rather well.

I'm laughing and crying. The bleeding heart in Shep's hand is a great touch and pretty much captures what I felt when playing through the scene.

Pirate Thane....my dreams and my mother's differ. She thinks of Johnny Depp and I imagine something green. Anyway, I did what I said I would not do and loaded ME3 on my computer. Not like I was going to finish it but I wanted to do this......
Yes!! Cameron is STILL a perv and has no shame at all. She is resorting to voyeurism and peeping on Thane from the other side of the window.....
Then I went the rest of the way into the convo...I know I torture myself...
Let's torture myself some more....Oh look at him, his hand, he's pulling her closer....my heart aches....
And here we go, in this one moment I saw MY Cameron again and I cried. I really cried, big tears, my head hit the desk and I whimpered...why BW why? This looks so sweet....
There she is giving Thane a big hug, so hard her hand is digging into his back (mmmmmm, thoughts), her eyes are closed as if she is lost and thinking this is the ONLY place in the galaxy she wants to be, his arms wrapped around her, "I never wanna let you go, Siha." Heck, she may be trying to hold back tears (yeah I know, she doesn't cry according to BW but hey, my pic says she wants too).
I love these screenshots.
Dem thighs.
Thank goodness for Flycam. I like the different angles you captured of the scene. How did you manage to make the hand hold work? Is the animation just glitched on consoles?
The hug looks really sweet but it makes me sad. BW could have made Thane's romance arc so heartfelt and beautiful if they had bothered but instead they just took the easy out and got rid of it. Worse, they did it in the most emotionally-unsatisfying manner imaginable and disappointed a ton of people in the process.

What is worse and I actually cringed then laughed is if you pause the cutscenes during dialogue, the person who was speaking will continue to do so. Well, I paused it right before Shep's porn noise and I had it in slow mo at the time, it just appeared so wrong. Thane was pulling her closer and she moved up a bit, it really looked like some serious dry humping going on. Especially at the angle I had it at.
