@Squee: That's a great idea. We'd all love something like that.

Also I think your banner is gorgeous too. I was actually going to ask you if I could use it to make a mousepad or something.

@Coldi: Yup. That was the one. I was busy drawing up flow and logic charts, started looking at artists to do the storyboards, and just in general trying to figure out WHAT would have been in the Thane story-line if there had been an option to save him, how it would have been implimented while still improving the content for players who chose to have him die, and how I was going to impliment and control a large collab team of writers, artists and editors and choose who got what scene/convo etc (first come first serve, and since it was my idea I was technically the first so I grabbed the juicy romance scene (got a VERY good idea for that that actually would have been a lot more tasteful and modest than most of the ones that were actually in it) and all the Kolyat convos). I was even starting to design page layouts and stuff in my head. I was going to suggest the title "When We Dead Awaken" for the project too, as in Heinrik Ibsen's play "When We Dead Awaken." Seems to fit Thane.

But no one actually wanted to help me apart from utaker and saren. Which made me very very sad. (no one likes my ideas. )

Squeegee, i'm loving the sig banner. it's SO CUTE OMG

Aw, Thanks! Ya can use it if ya like. Personally it just makes me feel better and go "Aw" when I see it after one of my posts. Call it self comfort, lol. Although, I quickly replace it with a Thane blow up doll. I take him to the beach, to the movies, out to eat... my family would eventually hand me over to the state instituation. lol.


I see all these wonder personal projects that everyone is working on. The shoes, the sl avatar and bedsheets are all great. Would you guys like me to start a topic over in the group where you can display your projects? It's up to ya.

i'll be in the padded room right next to yours then, lol

i think a project thread would be a good idea!

Like that London Thane pic.

Now I know what the old phrase "like trying to push water uphill" feels like. *sigh*

Do people really put up this much of a fuss about the possibility of Thane surviving all the time?

There are a line of women in padded cells with a green lizard looking blow up doll!

Officials at the local institution claim that families around the world have been committing their loved ones due to this green doll phenomena. The patients, which all happen to be grown women, have been locked up in padded rooms and sedated. We contacted one family who was more than willing to talk. This family said their loved one resorted to carrying around this life sized sex toy. While not a crime itself, it was against decency laws when said woman brought the doll into a local supermarket unclothed. She then proceeded to use the doll's genitalia as a placeholder for donuts. Yes, it is as it sounds. Officials at the institution have only said that all women, when brought in only had one thing to say, "ridges." We decided to investigate the origins of the man lizard doll and found that said doll is a likeness of a character created by EA/Bioware in their sci-fi game Mass Effect 2. Some slick work on Google provided us with a name, "Thane Krios." Upon contacting a spokesperson for Bioware's Mass Effect series, we were met with, "Thane who?" More on this strange but true story as it develops.

Ok, so I installed my new graphics card and then I went to load ME3 and it crashed on the load. I laughed until I cried. Apparently ME3 needed to update, tried again and it loaded. I get to the Thane part because I still need to do some stuff there and realized that once again the update wipes out my coalesced file. No fly cam for me. I got mad and forget about it...for now. It is always insistent on reverting stuff back to the original. Which means all my bik files were once again changed. Not like I'm playing through to the end again but still, it kinda pisses me off. I am just glad I have since learned to copy everything to another drive and then copy it back when they decide my game needs to be updated.

Btw, even with a new graphics card...the game still looks like s**t. But on the positive side, ME2 looks so much better now. And now I can hook up my PC to my TV and can have a rather large Thane on my screen. Could only have large Thane in the living room before since the PS3 and other Xbox is hooked up out there. Oh yes, a super sized Thane. You do realize that I'm going to run those nekkid Zevran mods too. Bah ha ha!

Yes, I did jump all over that idea because I'm such a damn Seth Green nerd that I wanted to write Joker. I could write just about anyone if I spent enough time studying them. I do happen to like your ideas Emerald.

Joker: So, Thane, glad to have you back.
Thane: Thank you Jeff.
Joker: No, really I should be thanking you.
Thane: How so?
Joker: The commander, ah jeez, she spent a lot time in life support. Crying. Getting all touchy feely.
Thane: .....
Joker: Well you know, I didn't mind her borrowing my stuff but...nevermind.
Thane: What is it?
Joker: Man, she ripped all the drell pictures out of my Fornax. Not that I mind, I'm not into guys but it ruined some of them. They were collectors editions.
Thane: That is disquieting.
Joker: Yeah well, she owes me new copies. That's all I'm saying.

All I wanted is for my idiot Shep to tell Thane she loved him and he mattered. Whether he lived or died, it was all I wanted my Shep to do. To let the man that woke up my emotionally void Shep, that he gave her something that can never be paid back. Love. FFS, was it too hard to say "I love you, Thane." Good God almighty, would have it been too difficult graphic wise to have Shep reach over and take Thane's hand as he died? Apparently, touching only occurs if she's acting like a horny b**ch in regards to Thane. How about a graphical tear? What about reaching out to Kolyat, "I'm sorry about your father, Kolyat." No, what we get is Shep thrown right out of the damn room. There is no amount of "we forgots" during that death scene that can be said that I will buy as truthful. They were writing a death scene, not a fight scene. What I will buy as truthful is, "Well we didn't put as much time into Thane because, really, he didn't matter much to us in this game. He wasn't important enough for us to bother with. Yes, he was made for female gamers for ME2 but we are now on ME3 and that's the game that matters now. We moved on. We are aware of what you want but in all honesty, it isn't going to happen because we DGAF about Thane."

THIS! It galls me that there's no "I love you" option during the death scene. Especially since his death was forced on us. The LEAST they could have done was give us that and show that Thane was important and actually meant something to Shepard. Instead we got the same exact prayer scene the non-romancers got and that was that. Practically zero acknowledgement of the relationship and no real sense of closure.

There's an auto-dialogue "I love you" when Miranda dies if she's your LI and her death is optional. I really don't understand their handling of Thane. They "forgot" he was a LI, or so Patrick Weekes claims, but they remembered in time to sprinkle a few "Sihas" in the conversation. Would it really have been so hard to add an "I love you" option or to give players that chose to stick with him the achievement?

The super cynical part of me doesn't believe they really 'forgot'. I think they just didn't care.

Leave it to Joker to have Collector Editions of Fornax!

Yeah, my own head-canon Thane-banters does help me cope at times which reminds me...I should write more of them methinks.

Btw, has any specific ideas I've shared so far been better/worse? 

Since I consider myself as an artist to some extent, I do look for constructive criticism on my ideas wether they are realised visually or verbally.

Fruit salad a la drell ? Yum

[coldwetn0se]

I have been jumping around the forums today, reading threads I don't often frequent, and something strikes me. I have had these thoughts before, but finally decide to write them down. Some people love to talk about how they feel the different ME games rate. Some say ME, some ME2, and even a few say me3 is the best.

One thing I find interesting though, is posters who talk about WHY they like one game over another. A comment I have seen posted every so often, but is common to see parrotted is, "This is a "TIME" issue.....we are in a war and there are TIME constraints." The clock is ticking, so to speak.

I point this out, because I think this may be one of the main reasons I have a problem with me3 (well....among the other things I have rambled on about..). I like my RPG's to go at "my" pace. Since I role play each decision thoughtfully, I can't suss out all the details so quickly. Even when I have played the games multiple times. Why you ask? Even if I come up with a basic background and story for each Shepard, Hawke, Warden I play, much of the choices I make I decided on the spot. But, I will want to consider things at the moment I am meant to choose. For example; even something as minor as how to handle Helena Blake in ME1 or using the Renegade Interrupt (and you do have to be kinda quick for the interrupts...else ya load a save...hehe) on the Batarian fixing the gunship during Garrus RM; I will ponder on. I may not spend 10 minutes figuring out what I will do...of course not. But allowing myself the chance to examine the PC I am crafting, and dictating the flow of gameplay, is part of what I love about RPG's. Timed assaults and tasks, combined with limited dialogue choices and auto-dialogue, make me feel rushed to get on with the game. And you can be penalized for trying to use the style I prefer to play at.

So perhaps some of these people who say that this is a "war", and "we don't have time" for the pleasantries (expanded character arcs, more moral or character 'defining' choices, romances, ect...), are not wrong when it comes to me3. Problem is, I don't want to play a game like that. Never did. I choose RPG's over other types of games BECAUSE I generally like to take my time. Even with events looming over your Shepard in ME1 and ME2, I felt I had some time. Could flesh out my characters and how they interacted with other characters and the story as a whole. me3, did not seem to support this type of gameplay. So, regardless of Thane's treatment in this game, this game was never well suited for an RPGer like me. This is simply my opinion, based on my likes......nothing more.

Just read the link, but I guess I am a bit confused. They didn't really explain how the endings (or at least the Destroy ending) will lead to certain DLC or me4.
