Ha! My computer is back up and running, my hard drive was safe but I couldn't take chances so I copied all my good stuff onto a portable drive anyway. So...now it's time to get back to trying to get those ridges working in a flashback file. Yeah, priorities. Then I will go look at nekkid Zevran.


My thought processes when reading that:

Yay! Can she do my screenshots now? (I'm sorry. I'm being very selfish).

<rrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidggggggggggeeeeeeeesssssssss>! *drool* :devil:

and

Woo hoo! Nekkid Zevran. *pant* :devil:

Yeah, I need to get laid. :pinched:

What else was I going to say..... damn can't think....

Ah, yes. @Moira. I kinda know what you mean, but I get that feeling from the pagan sites and other places of great historical significance, if that is at all comparable.  And I've now forgotten the rest of what I was going to say so I'm gonna go spend some time with our favourite drell. :)


Yes I can do them...LOL.  I am still wanting that bike and the man....he really can keep the jacket.  :devil:   I say we just paint him green....or just turn the lights off and play Thane audio files.

Thane:  Cam, is there any reason we are pointing our guns in the opposite direction of our targets.
Cam:  Just do what I say.

I also noticed Thane's fused fingers right away. I think it's really cool, goes well with the drell look.

Anyway, since Bioware haven't come up with anything, I'm saying we should write our own script. Show them that even we can come up with something. I haven't ironed out the details yet, suffice to say each writer would have their own sections to do. Eg, Thane x Javik dialogues - Thane alive. Shepard x Mordin dialogues - Thane alive, curable, not curable; Thane x Joker post citadel coup dialogue. Shep x Thane dialogue romance scene (I'm doing that one, and the Shepard x Mordin one). Kaidan x Thane x Shepard dialogue "cheating" confrontation (want to do that one too, but the fact that Margurite hates Kaidan might not be beneficial). They will include the dialogue wheel options, renegade, paragon interrupts, scene descripts, everything that would be needed in an actual script/story.

It would be interesting to see how this turns out. I don't have time to think up any "serious" dialogues for a project like this, but if anyone still wants to read the Shepard dialogues I used to write here for fun (before ME3 and getting locked out of the spoiler forums) those are quick and easy. And Thane's alive, of course. :P Carson made sure of that.

@utaker: Of course I wouldn't be mad at those who have serious things to do in their own lives. I work two jobs and take care of my disable brother. I have to stay up late most nights just to be able to do this. So that I do understand. At the same time, I have been around long enough to know between some people who rather just whine than do anything about it vs. those who are trying. Which just annoys me. Perhaps I was just in a bad mood the other day, but I am tired of having to chase people down. None the less, I packed everything up tonight and I am sending it out tomorrow. I can't do this anymore and I have faced the reality of that.


@squee - totally understand. i look after my ill and elderly mother and work on a farm that has casual hours. Casual here meaning 12+ of physical labour. I haven't had more than 5 hours sleep a night since I went back, trying to get the fanbook done.

it's sad that you have to give up, but after everything you've been though, with the abusive little ****s that came out of the woodwork, i'm surprised you held out this long. you've done a great job, siha, and should be admired for it. Finger's crossed it all gets there safely!

I know too how annoying it is trying to chase everyone down, but then, i'm one of those you had to chase down, so I can't complain. :( :crying:


Sorry it took me a year and a half to respond back. It's just how I roll nowadays. lol.

Okay in all seriousness, I am sorry to hear about your mother. I wish her the very best. Life has a way of always giving it to ya, it's insane.

In a way, I have and I haven't. I still sent everything out, but how this campaign may be run from now on, it's going to be probably different. I need to find 2-3 reliable people who want to keep up with it. Otherwise, it's going to die out simply because I am burnt out. I did the main part, now its just the small things that need to be kept up with.

Oh man, myth.. it was like an army of douche bags who came after me and me trying to handle it in the right way was a killer. God, how many of those I wanted to tell to go screw themselves.

Alright, I confess, I did tell a few to go screw themselves. Everyone has their limits. haha.

Thanks so much and I know you have been busy yourself, with life and with the fanbook. You should pat yourself on the back.

@Cosmo: You know, I keep meaning to pm you, but then I just get side tracked. Just knock me over the head, really. lol.

The Thane romance in ME2 is perfect, I love how his character develops, but if you're asking from a ME3 standpoint if its worth it I'd say NO because what they did with romanced Thane's character and the romance arc in general made me feel physically sick and very angry to the point of probably never spending another penny on BioWare or EA again.

Doing a quick check to make sure I didn't miss anything:

Thane and Drell as a Metaphor for human society section. I think I have all the references but let's see if I did miss anything:

Cat's in the Cradle (LM Title): referencing song commentating on a father as a role model in his son's life, and the impacts an absent father (work, etc) has on his relationship with his child.

Leviticus 26:39 (Failed LM): son IS responsible for the sins of the father.

Deuteronomy 24:16 (Successful LM): children NOT responsible for sins of the father.

Drell Religion - commentary on perceived decline of religion - both referencing the downfall of the old pagan religions at the hands of Christianity, and Christianity's decline due to science and atheism.

Drell-hanar relationship and the Compact - slavery as seen through the eyes of the slave.

I think that's all. Can anyone think of anything else? Want to know before I get too far into that section.

Do it. Do it do it do it do it do it!  Thane's romance in Mass Effect 2 is the best written romance in Bioware's history, imo. He is a considerate, thoughtful, mature lover, and a perfect match for Shepard. it is deep, thoughful, and bittersweet, and compliments the tone of the whole game perfectly.

Sorry for the triple post, but I just found this on DA and I had to share it:

It's the latest page of Epantiras' comic: Mess Perfect.

I think Paragon, personally. Deep down Thane is a truly GOOD man. Even his killing is done to a strict moral code that most of us would find admirable. A Renegade Shepard, imo, just doesn't seem right, because even though they do good things, they're rather dickie about it. <_<

Yup, I'd say paragon, too.

Although, I will admit that I loved it when he tried talking my Renegade Shep out of handing the Collector Base over to TIM. I can't remember his exact words, but they were something along the line of, "Siha, no."

Javik Can't Leave Thane Alone

Javik:  So Drell, I see you are doing a crossword puzzle.
Thane:  Quite observant.
Javik:  Do not get wise with me, green scaly one.
Thane:  Is there something you need?
Javik:  Do you know what a condom is, Drell?
Thane:  Not interested Javik, you're not my type.
Javik:  I see you are a funny drell today.  Do not ever insinuate that I am homosexual again.  
Thane:  Homosexual again?  Meaning you were once?
Javik:  You know what I meant.  Do not play with my words drell, I will cause the extinction of your species, starting with you.
Thane:  I'd like to see you try that.
Javik:  No you would not.  Answer my question.
Thane:  Yes, I know what a condom is.
Javik:  Then why did you not use one?  The Commander is waddling these days.
Thane:  We've been through this.  
Javik:  I see you have some blank spots in your puzzle.  Yes we have been through this but you never really answered why you were careless with protection.
Thane:  Yes I did.  I told you that we didn't think it would be possible to reproduce.
Javik:  Number 6 Down, the answer is Drell.
Thane:  What?  
Javik:  Six down...D.R.E.L.L....5 letter word for primitive.
Thane:  Very funny, that is not the answer.  Second letter is A, fourth is I, it could be Javik.
Javik:  I am far from primitive.  Why did you not use a condom?  Even if you thought reproduction not possible, did you not think that you could pass her some drell disease.
Thane:  Basic.
Javik:  Basic what?
Thane:  Five letter word for primitive...basic.  I do not have some drell disease.
Javik:  You did when you met her.  Yes, basic works.  
Thane:  I had a lung disease, that cannot be passed on through sex.  
Javik:  Still, what if your sperm was toxic to her.  You could have destroyed her insides.  You are a selfish drell.
Thane:  It wasn't or Mordin would have warned us.  Besides, condoms are...hmmmm...let's use one of your favorite words...pointless.
Javik:  Why would one be pointless?  Look at what you did to her.  She's now carrying mutant drell.
Thane:  The ones made now would not fit me.
Javik:  What?  Too big for you?  Yes, I see.
Thane:  No, quite the opposite.
Javik:  Do not bullsh*t me drell.
Thane:  You think so?
Javik:  Yes I think so.
Thane:  Are you daring me to show you?  That's kind of sick Javik.
Javik:  Ugh, No drell I do not want to see your penis.
Hope:  :blink:  What's going on here?
Thane:  It's not what you think.
Javik:  (walks away laughing)  :devil:

Paragade and Renegon are my own personal preference, but Thane's romance can work well with any Paragon/Renegade rating. The most important thing would be if their personalities work together. One Renegade can be completely different from another, for example.

This quote is what made me realize that the Shepard I originally had planned to romance Thane, Katherine, would be better suited for someone without as many... morals? xD That's not to say she has no morals at all, but she certainly doesn't hate Cerberus. She enjoys working with them and has no problems with giving the base to TIM. And that makes the quote sound so wrong for her. Kai Leng's more her type than Thane, actually. The irony!

My Laura's exactly the same (you know, the one who's currently with Jacob). She will totally hook up with Kai, even though she is Alliance through and through. But then she treats people like playthings. Ninja-Wannabe would be no different.

And that is my Malificent, she romanced Thane and for those moments she gained a heart, granted it was only his direction. I wanted her redemption, I wanted a character that was so morally bankrupt and seemed so far beyond repair. Thane's love was supposed to be her redemption. But then they rip her from him, stick her in a tiny room on a planet she really doesn't give a crap about and eventually kill him off before she gets a chance to fully get redeemed. I didn't import her because none of the choices really reflects her. She wouldn't let Anderson get shot by either TIM or herself. She'd let them both live, let starchild make his little statements about choices then let the games begin. She'd point her gun at both TIM and Anderson tell them that she has no intention of walking up either platform. If Anderson wants Destroy and TIM wants Control they better start running because the first one to their ideal choice is the winner. Then she would GTFO of there. Hitch a ride on the Normandy before it tries to escape. Crash land wherever it landed and spend her days riding James like a cheap carnival ride.

Of course she'd remember Thane, remember how much it hurt and vow that while James is a great lay, she'd never love again.

Kai Leng was always my favorite part of the books. And I'll admit that the first time I heard he was going to be in ME3, a tiny part of me hoped for something along the lines of Zevran, assassin sent after Shepard who is then captured during an attempt to kill Shepard, and she can choose to keep him. Wasn't something like this supposed to happen:

?

BUT
What we actually got was so far from that. I HATE Kai Leng now. I hate him for having a jacket designed like Thane's. I hate him for being the tool that killed Thane. And I hate him for being the only person to acknowledge Thane's death. He's also, really, just nothing like he was anymore. He's been implanted, so he's obviously lost his free will. He's indoctrinated, and now, instead of doing Cerberus's wetwork, he's the one who's chosen for "data gathering".
