That is the cutest thing I've seen today.

Now I need that, too bad I weren't actually skilled. I'd leave them be and come back in a few months to a tribe of itty bitty drells. Oooooh.... I'd have hours of fun playtime. More fun than I already have with Thane, my wrestling figures, and Darth Maul. Sometimes they have extreme cage matches with Napoleon Dynamite as the ref. Yeah, I have issues and I will be 39 this year.

I was going to end this until I saw something on TV, Fresh Prince of Bel Air...now I need to see Thane do the Carlton.

Great idea Squeegee83, thank you for doing this

....just finished me3....i missed Thane throughout the whole game...since he was my L.I. and one of my main team selections, i found it hard not seing him...Bioware in me2 showed a lot of interest in him.I simply do not understand why they tossed him out like this in me3.A small depressing dialogue, with "no private time" or anything else throughout the game.I kept going in the hospital hoping a new dialogue comes up...haha... and visiting life support....it was cruel watcing him die and not even a tear from my shepard!!!!i mean she looked upset for everyone else (mordin,Legion) BUT NOTHING FOR THANE!!! are we serious??? I mean OK if for any (stupid for me) reason didnt want him alive in me3 they should at least pay more attention to his relationship with shepard... more options in dialoques,a night with her in Normady...so many things....grrrr Bioware....i keep playing me2 now because my options REALLY COUNTED BACK THEN....

I agee.
This is how most of us feel about what happened to him in ME3. It also doesn't make it easier knowing that a lot of these things happened because Bioware simply forgot that Thane was an LI.

To be entirely fair, Thane being featured heavily in the marketing in ME2 did not necessarily equate to overall plot importance even in that game.  And hell, Miranda was right there with him in the ME2 marketing, and she got sidelined too for ME3.

BioWare's LIs are certainly not created equal in terms of dialogue and plot importance, but in the Dragon Age franchise, that doesn't screw out the less plot-important LIs.  Zevran, for example, has fewer conversations than Alistair and is minimally involved in the overall plot, but his character arc and romance are still well-developed.  Would've been nice to see the same approach for ME3.

No one on your crew in ME3 was plot important either. Not even Liara was that important. They pretty much sidelined the ME2 squad for nothing really.

The VS was involved in the Citadel coup arc, and considering Liara's the one who discovers the Crucible plans, I'd say she plays a key role in the plot.  EDI is used to give insight into Cerberus and to highlight the tensions between organics and synthetics which are a fairly important theme in ME (until the endings of fail, that is).  

But my point was that REGARDLESS of the relative plot involvement of the NPCs, each CHARACTER's individual arc should at least be given its due.  

[siha13]

no one in me3 had the same gameplay as thane.And as for Miranda , after her death he shared a tear for gods shake!!And hugged her.I mean with Thane she didnt even kiss him or touched him.She just closed his eyes and left...like nothing happened!!!

Welcome to the club, my dear! What they did with Thane in ME3 was so bad I can't put into words without getting banned, probably!They handled the romance in one of the worst ways possible and that, because someone somewhere along the line-Ok, a few someones, more likely- forgot Thane was a LI...believe it or not and I still get  so annoyed when I remember that!!*Hmfs*

And welcome back, Moira!

Welcome to the thread, Siha13!

I share your disappointment. Miranda and Shepard (if romanced) say they love each other when she dies. They even share one final kiss and Shep holds her. During Thane's death Shepard just stands there like a stone, recites a generic prayer (generic because it's recited whether you romanced Thane or not). Shepard only touches him when he's already dead - to close his eyes I guess. There's nothing unique to the scene for those who romanced him aside from the "Siha" reference and a single line.

Shepard shows no emotion and she doesn't even tell Thane she loves him. It was so hollow and awful. They even cut recorded dialogue from the scene as if it wasn't short and impersonal enough.

Here is a link to hear the extended death scene, if you want to listen.

I can't understand why Thane's line "Your memory is not like ours, but perhaps you can hold me in it for a little while" was cut. It makes me so sad.

Especially since no one does remember him.

Welcome back, Moira-Chan! Glad to hear you had a good time. You did not miss much, but Dani (yamainu1984 ) announced the Thane Fanbook might have 310- 320 pages which is exciting.

Also, there's a new Thane Project in the works - the plushie journey. In which, plushie Thane travels to fans around the world with his final destination being BioWare HQ. He's still searching for that cure. *hinthintBioWare*

I probably should have mentioned that... no, I didn't make them.  I unfortunately lack the patience and skill.  They were made by eitanya on deviantart

[Julia_xo]

I looked through eitanya's deviantart page and found a different colored outfit on Thane:


Awwwwwww.

All these plushies I've been seeing are ridiculously cute. She even made a few other characters (like Garrus).

For something that unexpectedly made me laugh: Thane is a selfish teammate

Maybe I just have a weird sense of humor but when the little popup box appears at 2:25 with the words: 'Thane where are you? Help me!' while Shep is hanging off the side of the ship I just crack up. You know Thane is back there somewhere chillin' while Joker tries (unsuccessfully) to haul Shep inside. Also, it's interesting that this person used Thane as the Second Fire Team Leader and he survived! I didn't think that was possible. I always kept him close to Shep during the SM to avoid getting him killed.

So many plushies and I want them all!
If only I could sew

[BeanieBat]

Yeah eitanya makes so many amazing plushies! Especially the Mass Effect ones =P

[coldwetn0se]

The plushies are adorable.

If anyone wants to add their .02 to this thread: http://social.biowar...ndex/11818627/2

A few of us already have. I refuse to engage anyone who wants to debate (which on this forum often ends up meaning "Trolololol"), but I wanted to leave my opinion.

Your response to that guy who said something about us needing to wake up to the "cold hard truth" was epic. As if we need a game to remind us how difficult real life can be? <_< Many of us have suffered loss. May 26th will be the one year anniversary of my mom's death.

Most people play games for FUN and/or to forget their problems. I know I do. I certainly don't play to be depressed or to feel helpless.

Failed loveboat (not that I blame the OP for trying). lol The comments in that thread alone are comedy gold: He dumped you. And he did it in style. He's a classy man.
