Well, since Margurite is Danish, and Siha and Valkyrie are sort of the same thing, I chose Valkyrie, though Siha does indeed work, too.

Edit: Oh, and Margurite is also an Asatru.

Haha, I actually have a "norse" themed Shepard as well, only mine is romancing Garrus.

Her name is Freja (She's Swedish), fitting considering she is the goddess of war

My Thane mancer is Irsih, my Jacob one Vietnamese, my Kaidan one is French and my Liaramancer is idk wtf (she's just weird all around with her silver hair and purple lipstick)

Taler du dansk? De er et sjovt sprog ikke?

Ahh...Brings me back to the art college I attended in Denmark during 2008-2009..it was a wonderful time!

(My danish writing is rusty..I keep confusing Dansih and Swedish spelling! The languages are very similar after all...)

That's part of the problem with ME 3 for me - there's no connection. Hell, after the Citadel mission I kind of feel like, well, what damn reason do I have to care anymore? My LI's gone, most of my old squad is gone and what's left are just, not really there. - It's all 'Save the universe! Fight the Reapers!' yeah, well, give me a reason to care.

Probably being melodramatic but it fits how I feel.

Bolded for truth. I feel the same way, to be honest. After Thane died the game just felt hollow. The emptiness I felt stayed with me for the rest of my playthrough. It was compounded by the fact that no other characters seemed to care that he died (not even Shepard) and the way the relationship was treated like it didn't mean anything at all. It really soured my experience and killed any enjoyment I might have garnered. I couldn't find it in me to care about anything that was going on.

The person my Shep was fighting for is Thane. In Lotsb, that's what she told Liara.

Shep never even got to have those "stolen months" with him. She was shipped off to the brig for six months, had one conversation when she met him again at the hospital and had to watch him die the next and last time she saw him. It was utter crap.  Hard to care about anything after that.

The only character on the squad my Shep was really close to is Garrus. She tried to steer clear of Kaidan because of their past and his continued interest (which was not reciprocrated), the auto-flirting with James also forced her to keep her distance (did not talk to him much), EDI, Liara and Tali were just there. I don't consider my Shep particularly close to them. And Javik, is well, Javik.

It was hard to get through the game with a squad I didn't care much about and the one character my Shepard loved more than anything was killed off fairly early on so... yeah, personal connection lost. It became a chore and something I just wanted to get done rather than something to play for enjoyment. There's not much replayability in a game that makes you feel bad.

Double bolded for truth.

I'm reading Thane's dossier now and it says 'synthetic lung generation currently impossible for drell'. Surely this means that there is something difficult in the Drell biology that needs to be overcome in order for synthetic lungs to be utilised, but surely that means with a bit of creds and research this could be overcome? I mean at least come up with some sort of treatment so that he could last until the end of the game for goodness sake! Way to destroy a romance, killing him off so early..

[RShara]

Sorry, it's going to be a really busy week. Whoever wants the plushie pattern, please PM me.

Also, who is making it for the Quest?

[Julia_xo]

@RShara Wildannie said she is making the Thane plushie but LuckyThirteen also mentioned she'd like to do it so I'm unsure.

@Sunnie We could just use Feron for spare parts? >_> j/k We're not given enough information as to why synthetic lungs are currently impossible for Drell. You'd think considering how prevalent Kepral's is among them and how few Drell there are to start with synthetic lungs would have a high priority. Easier than waiting on a transplant list. :/

Which reminds me, Liara is the Shadow Broker, she could have scrounged up Drell lungs that are a match for Thane damn it. Why couldn't he have undergone the transplant? It would have given him time while the Hanar work on a cure. It's just so frustrating to me knowing he had an option and it was ignored. The fact that it happens so early in the game and with so little emotion just adds to the overall gutpunch.

If Liara had been any kind of friend she would have done that for Shepard.

I hate how Thane and Jacob fans were expected to have to shoulder the entire burden of forced depressing outcomes for LI characters.  The choices, were not real choices you either talk to them and they die/cheat or ignore them and they die <_<

Because femshep is the only one who has to suffer.
Liara probably could have helped Shepard find some kind of treatment or cure. What was the point of her becoming the Shadow Broker anyway. I don't remember her using it much for anything in the game.

@JECW lol pretty sure multiple characters throughout ME3 would comment on how little Liara knew about what was going on despite being the Shadowbroker -__- well I'm fairly certain one character did at least haha, I know I was thinking it..

Very true.
I don't really remember anyone in your crew really helping move the story along. They made Liara the shadow broker and then did nothing with that in ME3. You are suppose to be fighting the reapers, but most of the game it's you fighting Cerberus. I admit I got tired of a lot of the fighting and shooting in this game.

[utaker1988]

When I gibbed Liara as a romance (only way I'd ever do it and it's easier doing that than having to replay the whole game) just to see if she had anything to say about Thane in ME3 and she did. After the whole hospital gropefest she said something about I know you and Thane were close once (not exact but close to it), I was in total awe of her statement. Not in a good way. For being the SB you sure are out of it, aren't ya Liara? "Were" no.

Anyway, I ran across someone with an odd situation that I did not think would happen and I'm not up for recreating it to see if it really happens. Yeah, I don't believe everything some people tell me. Ok, they romanced Liara in ME, Thane in ME2, decided to tell Liara they were still on in ME3 BEFORE seeing Thane. So, she goes to see Thane and the Paragon Interrupt still shows up (I'm not going to comment on the cruelty of that if it is true). She pulls it because he's dying and she feels bad for him. A couple of missions later she tries to talk to Liara again about being back together (remember she told me she told Liara it was) and Liara gets in a huff and told her, "I know you are back with Thane." I said that cannot be because BW made sure that Thane didn't count as a romance in ME3. If what she is telling me is true, then I am really going to throw a fit. How can Liara tell Shep "I know you are back with Thane" when the whole game acts like he doesn't exist in a romance way? Why does the parade of hormones start after his death? If she does say it and then does not mention his death, then I'm going to be forced to slap the blue off her once and for all.

Regardless, she's mad because she thinks she has closed off the Liara romance. Well, I told her, "I don't know if that happens or not as I've never carried a Liara romance with FemShep for a whole game and the two playthroughs I did do of ME3, I stayed with Thane. How could you mess with the emotions of a dying man? You have a cruel FemShep." She said Thane didn't even ask her about Liara. Yeah well Thane didn't ask my FemShep about Liara either when I was playing with the save editor either so that part I believe.

No FemShep in their right mind should ever cheat on Thane. Not just because he's a dying man, but because he is a sexy green man with a sexy voice who is incredibly sexy and also has a great personality. Yup.

That's a good point actually, Liara really should have been one to move the story along, like she should have been able to find out the location of the Illusive Man's base at least.. but even Miranda magically forgot where it was so I dunno, maybe the plot itself has plot armour.

Edit: Oh nevermind, apparently his base actually moves.. but still, even if Miranda can't tell you where it is, Liara should be able to find it <_<

[Tashash]

Hmph, apparently Liara's only use as the SB is to find the crucible blueprints....Hooray for you, Blueberry (nod to MythLover) now what about the other 15 hours of game?

I'm not bashing Liara, I like her - she's a good friend to my Shep, I'm angry that her potential wasn't realised in game - As the SB Liara had a chance to let out an inner BAMF - and we see little bits of it (confronting the old SB, when we first meet up on Mars) but then she just goes back to the 'naive, socially inept, archeologist' Bah!

And since this is a Thane thread, I think my Plushie is coming together!! *YAY*

[utaker1988]

I don't know if it's mentioned in the game or not, I can't remember but the books will tell you that no one can really find TIM's base unless TIM tells you where to go. He moves it all the time and that is why nobody really has an exact location for it. I hate saying this but I remember Kai Leng thinking or saying that he would have to wait for directions from TIM because he moves the base even after KL visits it. He's that paranoid on anyone finding it. I can excuse Miranda for not knowing exactly for that reason. Liara however is the SB and supposed to have all this information, remember give her only a few minutes and she could start a war. Her words, not mine. I'm just saying that if Liara can know what's going inside my Shep's cabin (Thane) then she should be able to find something even more important to the galactic peace between races...such as TIM's base. But then again, when she had to bail from her own base, how much was she able to recreate in terms of size and capacity of information being relayed to her. I'd probably know this if I actually paid attention to what she said to me.

@Tash, glad your Thane plushie is coming along.

[Ottemis]

Liara relies on information gathered by others, she's a conduit connecting dots and siphoning off data where she can. If this information is not floating around, then she'd have no means of getting it.
Even having access to scanning equipment wouldn't help you much, I'm sure it's no coincidence we find the base in orbit where scans are rendered useless due to the interference.

"The Mla red supergiant Anadius is a minor footnote on the star maps of the Horsehead Nebula: a cold, dying star of about 20 solar masses and 1500 times Sol's radius. Not listed on any charts, an unobtrusive space station is nearly imperceptible in the star's periodic bursts of solar output."

[Lucky Thirteen]

If TIM moves his ship so much, why does he hang around the same star for so long.

I find Liara is putting a thorn into my fan fiction that for Shepard/Thane. I wasn't thinking at all about the cure stuff, but more about why doesn't Shepard immediately go to Liara after leaving earth and be like, WHERE IS THANE! CAN YOU FIND HIM?

Fortunately I figured something out to clarify my fan fiction, it's just I don't see my idea entirely working with every Shepard. Liara is just one of the many plotholes that appears in Thane's plotline.

Four drells in MP Gold with Reapers If you're sensitive to swear words, watch out cause those guys say the F word a lot.

I very much enjoy playing drell vanguard. The glitch that happens to the one guy happened to me once.

More Thane plushies? Where?

I have really enjoyed seeing the Thane plushie on vacation. Thanks for sharing those photos.

[blueshepard]

I just wanted to step in and say:

Thank you! thanks to all the contributors! You are really amazing and made me cry today I thought for myself at the beginning of this whole thing: if we would get at least 100 pages - we can call it a book at least. Then I saw how it grew and grew, and I thought we could in fact hit 200 pages - overwhelming for me at this point. And then these last 3 days came... We got about 295 pages ONLY contributions, so the Fanbook itself will have wbout 310 - 320 pages I think! THIS is a really HUGE book at all xD I really am concerned a bit how they should ship it to the US this thing will be heavy like hell I think xD

So there is nothing more to say for me than: Thank you again! Thane united people in this project who came to me and told me they thought that they would never take part in something like that, but well, just to protest how this incredible character was treated anything is possible

I am sure that Bioware can't oversee this 300 pages huge book anymore...

I thought if anyone would have helped move that story along it would have been Liara, but nothing. I remember reading a few people would say Thane wasn't very plot important in ME2. How we didn't really need an assassin on our team. We get to ME3 and no one on your team is plot important. Liara doesn't really move the plot along. After the Udina coup the VS doesn't really do much. That's probably why you can either kill them or not let them join you on the Normandy. I liked Vega, but he wasn't plot important either. Neither was EDI. You are only forced to take her with you on that one mission where you go after TIM, and I think that Miranda could have done that mission as well. You don't really need EDI for that.
