If I remember right though, ME2 Thane didn't want to die in a hospital, romanced or not. (I don't mind that the actual death scene happened in the hospital rather than immediately after Kai Leng's attack, mostly because I'm glad that Kolyat could be included in the prayer scene. A comment that reflected that ME2 line, and the bitter irony of it now, would have been nice.) Thane wanted to do something good for the galaxy at the end of his life, and he clearly still had some fight in him. Kai Leng's no easy opponent. I would have liked to see an option to recruit him, maybe with a limit that he needs a break of one mission in between (take him on one mission, leave him on the Normandy during the next, and then take him on another) to show that he's not at the same level he used to be... but then I guess they'd have to add in a reason for him to be in the Citadel at the time of the coup.
One thing I would have liked to play out differently, on Shepard's part, is for there to be an option to say that Shepard's first visit to the hospital was for Thane. I know some of my Shepards couldn't care less about Kaidan/Ashley. It wasn't bad on the first Shepard I played because she wanted to see Kaidan too - he was her friend, but so is Thane, and an option to say that she was there for both of them would have helped. Not to mention Shepard watching Thane's battle with Kai Leng instead of helping. There could have been ways around this, making Shepard occupied with another battle during the cutscene or something similar.
But there were still parts of Thane's ME3 arc that I liked. I just try to headcanon the rest as best as possible.
So glad to be back!Cosmochyck wrote...
@saren - *tacklehugs* Glad to see you back!!!
The prayer was lovely, but should not have been recycled for a romanced Thane. We got the short of the stick for sure - the only one that got less was Jacob. They really butchered them both. And Thane was so out of character. His death didn't "inspire" me, or make me emotional. It just angered me. And no paramour achievement? Ugh. Plus everyone on the ship immediately seems to be hitting on my FemShpe right after he dies. Can we say inappropriate?? To top it off they even recycled the LoTSB letter to Shep from Thane. AWESOME.
I will continue to hold out hope - we just have to get all these projects sent off so they know we won't give up!
@mnomaha - you might not like DGs latest twitter response...he said if you were asking about Thane, go ahead and ask but you won't like the answer....
I missed the character forum, as you guys can probably tell from the wall of text above.The LotSB letter is a tricky subject. Not everyone would have played it and saw the letter, so in my case, it'll be nice that my ThaneShep can read it too. Plus, Thane doesn't know that Shepard who played through LotSB read it already... right? So it'd make sense for him to send it anyway. I can understand wanting additional content when some of it feels like a repeat though.
And the way you described Thane's death was basically how I felt about Shepard's at the end of ME3. It was just frustrating (and on some level, to me, a little disgusting). As for Jacob, at least it'll be possible to metagame around this with my Shepards. Out of the two that'll romance him, one was just casual and the other will now take his own advice and send him into the vents to avoid acting totally out of character in ME3.
I'm curious to see what Gaider has to say about Thane as well, especially if he gives a detailed answer.
