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.  

Then after the Citadel coup the VS offers nothing. They have nothing to say, and they in no way move the story along. Bioware said they would play a major role, and that really didn't happen. It's true that Liara does find the plans to the cursible but after that she doesn't offer much. She played a pretty important role in ME1. I really did expect more from her given the fact that she is the Shadow Broker. I felt Miranda could have given more insight to Cerberus than EDI. It just felt like EDI was there simply to be a romantic interest for Joker.

I agree that each character's arc should have definitely been given it's due, and the fact that they weren't is really sad.

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 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.

pleased to meet you too julia_xo!!!

....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....

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!

Happy to be there too Hisilome!!! makes the pain easier to cope with!

Thanks Moiral! im hopping Bioware pays attention to all our complaints and do something about this.I mean it will be for their benefit after all!!! Looking forward to hear some good news...

[wildannie]

@Julia_xo I'm glad you liked my response, I quite enjoyed typing it . I sometimes can't believe what I'm reading, some people try to be so patronising, but really they just sound stupid and naive to me. I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your Mom.

Hi guys. A few pages to answer, so I'll try to cover it all...

@siha13: WELCOME love! If you can find any booze, chocolate, or tissues left, you're more than welcome to them. I don't know what luck you'll have though. PDS and Margurite took all the booze, Cosmo took all the chocolate,a nd the tissues... well, they didn't last long at all.

@Emerald: Nej, jeg taler ikke dansk. Jeg har forsøgt at lære, men mine effots har været temmelig forgæves. Faktisk har jeg forsøgt at lære flere sprog, men jeg har aldrig været en succes. Dansk, italiensk, fransk, japansk, tysk! Ingen af ​​dem! Jeg kan ikke holde ud håbet om, at jeg nogensinde vil være tosproget, men jeg tror man ved aldrig!

PS. Dette blev Google Translate!

(Seriously, translate that back into English for us, please. Let's see just how funny it is! )

I agree with everyone. Liara especially needed to be better utalised in the plot, in fact most of them felt like just bit players, even Mordin, and he was BLOODY IMPORTANT (though that may be because we didn't get to keep him, either. MORDIN!!!!) I think I'm going to have to headcanon that Liara secretely was trying to get Thane out of the way, because she still didn't believe that Margurite doesn't want her, even though she rejected her in ME1. Seriously though, I didn't mind her character in ME2, she was a strong woman in ME2. In ME3, she's just a child in an adult's body. I hate her now, and nothing will change that!

@Squeegee I am so in. Don't finish it without me, please!

@utaker. Gods that thread was totally lol worthy! He dumped you. And he did it in style. He's a classy man.

and

The smell of burning flesh permeates the air

My feet land hard on the deck

I hear her call from behind me

Hand grasping vacant air

I call shotgun.

Haha! (That woman didn't deserve him anyway... not that I blame her for trying to get Thane alone, but still, Thane deserves better than that. Like, say, a nice 5-Star private apartment on Inta'sei (or however you spell it).




@Little Vixen: You want more? I got more. The final group of Vacation Thane photos from DayDream Island!

Thane watching the Stingray. Or shark, the light's reflecting off the water to see to clearly, but that aquarium/lagoon pool had both. And the two main stingrays, the bloody big bastards that were half the size of my car, were called, I kid you not, "Pancake" and "Piklet"!


Thane's still fascinated by the Mermaid myth. He's drawing parallels to Kalahira. Here he is with the three Daydream Island mermaids (he'd been swimming and it was windy so he's cold. That's why the towel). (IE it was windy and he kept blowing over! )


A close up of Thane and Infinity.


Trying to decide what to have for dinner. Last night and all.


:blink:OI! You little bugger! Quit stealing my drink! <_<


Thane must be slightly tipsy. He's having trouble with his Emergency Induction Port.


Ah, entree's have arrived!


Thane looking at the waterfall outside the Private Adults-Only Dining Room. (It was prettier at night).


And finally, Thane and my big, fat, lard-lumpped mug which I'm sure none of you wanted to see, but are going to anyway. (I REALLY don't take good photos.)


And that was my last shot. RShara can do the rest of the Plushie pics for a while, till I get to take Thane to New Zealand next year!

OMG. Those plushie pics are the cutest thing EVER.

Curse me and my soon-to-be student budget ><

[Moira-chan]

this pics are cute, myth. really, really cute.

well well, just convince a friend to buy mass effect 2 (she has a ps3, so she cannot play me1) and it's too cute to see her making her first me2 steps.
i feel like leading a littly puppy through a big big world
she says she is really really excited about thane, because i told her sooo much about him (well actually how wonderfull he is, nothing about his character arch and so on, but just how much i adore him)
it was hard to tell her, what's gonna to happen in me3 T_T
and she asked me for genesis which decisions are best and it was hard not to spoiler her *sigh*

[JECW]

I'm loving all those Thane plushie pictures.

Thane plushie is so cute sneaking a sip of your drink from the straw (otherwise know as the emergency induction port.)

Good stuff! Thank you for putting up some more pictures.

PS. This became Google Translate!

/*-The word "efforts" was not translated. The Danish equivalent is "indsats".

Yeah I know the Options Thread was going in the ridges department so instead of putting this over there, I will put it here just so that it doesn't get completely derailed.

Javik Doesn't Like Ridges....

Javik: Drell, I see you are amongst us again.
Thane: Always a pleasure Javik
Javik: Oh you too? The Commander is very happy this morning.
Thane: I bet she is. She had a great night...probably better than great.
Javik: I know what you are alluding too Drell, I told you countless times I do not want to hear it.
Thane: You started this conversation, Prothean.
Javik: Prothean? I see what you are doing. You are still Drell to me. I have a question.
Thane: I knew this was coming <smirk>
Javik: Do not smirk at me Drell after saying that word, I know what you are thinking. What does the Commander mean by "ridges"?
Thane: What are you talking about?
Javik: She was going about the ship this morning with a stupid grin on her face and mumbling about ridges.
Thane: Try asking her.
Javik: Do not toy with me, Drell I know you know. Answer the question.
Thane: Are you sure you want to know?
Javik: Just as idiotic as always, I asked did I not? Primitive.
Thane: This falls into your category of not wanting to know.
Javik: That makes no sense, I asked you what it meant so therefore it does not fall into the "not wanting to know" category.
Thane: Trust me, Javik. You don't want to...
Javik: Stop playing with me Drell, tell me what ridges mean?
Thane: Very well..if you insist....(whispers to Javik)
Javik: I do not understand what you are getting at, Drell.
Thane: This will hurt you....unzips his shirt and drops his pants. Understand now?
Javik: What in the!!!!!!!! You are a disgusting Drell!!!!!!
Hope: :::Ridges Senses Tingling:::: ....BONZAIIIIIIIIIIIIII
(after a few moments, or several, doesn't matter)
Thane: Seeeeeee.....uhhhhhhhhhhhhh......
Javik: Must return to my pod....wait another 50,000 years.....

Javik does not support ridges.

I think he doesn't "endorse" Tali and ManShep's relationship because they're unable to have biological babies.  But Javik can sleep with asari aaaaaaall he likes.  Something tells me that after the war, a lot of blue ladies are gonna be lining up to have a Prothean father their daughters

Thane Plushie with itchy feet.

[mnomaha]

Well, NZ welcomes all of Thane's body parts, itchy and otherwise.

[Tashash]

Plushie Thane! *Huggles*

Wait, is that the Traveling Thane? Oz welcomes Thane! (especially his ridges, LOL)

I've almost completed my Plush-Thane's head...Damn but Drell heads are complicated...Plushie Valen and Plushie Fenris are gonna be soo much easier.

But Thane is worth it, even his three quarters-assemebled head is adorbz.
