Lol yea I was one of those ppl not tht long ago tht never even heard of BSN but LOVED Thane so Im sure thts still the case for alot of other ppl as well especially the younger players. Any version where Thane doesnt die sounds like the best option for me but there are still many others who like his current n pointless fight and death sceneAello89 wrote...

Wow, yea I dont know where I 1st read this but this.......this would have been a milliom times more appropriate than the **** we got.
(sigh) I would have gladly waitied a few more years for this game to come out to knw tht it was polished and perfect or close to it. U think tht would have made a difference?
Maybe they would have cured him? But it does sound like they always wanted to kill him off
I'm not sure, someone correct me if I'm wrong please becasue my mind does all sorts of wacky things when a game you like so much for years ends up showing a middle finger at your face ( in more then one category), but one of the older scripts that got leaked and also removed pretty fast did have an alternative ending for Thane ( Udina coup). It didn't invole him dying, but basically being saved by Shepard ( if I remember correctly, you as the player could take an interrupt which would result in Thane being saved ). That being said, he was saved from being wounded but not cured of Kepral's. Anyway, Thane at least survived the coup. I'll try to dig that old leaked script up unless I lost it in a mass of data (not the dialogues but story centered one)
I think Bioware is aware of the situation due to all the protests and dislikes of their fans but I have my doubts why they might not respond to fans and their/our disappointments as well as ours/yours ideas and advices. I know that admitting you made a mistake could be a lethal blow to one's ego and pride (especially the companies one), people may get fired, organization looks bad and thus avoiding to fix anything seems like the best solution. I can see fixing Thane's content that is directly implemented into base game would hurt one thing they are doing the utmost to protect and that is their pride. Due to all the interviews given that's exactly what happened with „demands“ involving better endings. But I see no reason why problems centered around Thane romance couldn't be simply fixed by an add on, DLC.
I still have my hope since I am aware that Thane fan base is much larger that the one on BSN.
Though it is a bit strange to see that from that huge pre-me2 thread with all the speculations and fun times, everything from content of discussions, to quantity of people being active in Thane thread has changed so much. Never the less, there's a lot of people out there who share the same opinion as those who post here do, as we here all do (no matter how often we delurk ourself and slip back into the darkest corner with the best view).

@Gracie92 I would have been very happy if that was what they had given us... such a shame that they just don't care about female fans.

You know, this leaked script still feels quite wrong to me.
Thane and FemShep are just starting to fall in love. Their relationship is going to deepen,daily. This is part of what feels so wrong about ME3. The lack of continuity and progression in the relationship. This script still does not reflect any progression in the relationship at all, and Shep being incarcerated really isn't an excuse in my book. They would be longing for each otehr the entire time. Not to mention that I think the chances of our uber-ninja-assasin, Thane, being kept away from incarcerated Shep if he really wanted to see her, are mighty slim. He could likely be in and out before anyone would notice. Especially, if he had Kasumi helping him.
Anyway, the dialogue and interactions between Thane and Shepard still don't have the same depth and warmth to them that they do in ME2. Not even close. The choice of wording is also wrong in many places. Therefore, I wouldn't have been happy with this either, as it still feels a bit dismissive toward their relationship. I agree that it would have been awesome to have Thane as a squadmate for a mission, but the death scene still seems short and curt. Still no "I love yous." And, I really don't think Thane would want his last memory of Shepard to be...a memory of Shepard. In addition, the dialogue between Shep and Liara still focuses on the the fact that her relationship with Thane was short -- there's no "I love yous" refered to there, either. FriendShep could have easily said some of the same words. And, of course, there's still no option for a cure, which, with the amount of foreshadowing present, still royally sucks and doesn't make alot of sense.
While I agree that this particular leaked script is a small degree better than what was actually released, I think many of us are so hungry for better content that we are willing to take any scraps we can find.
Well.
NO FREAKING SCRAPS FOR ME!
LET US SAVE THANE, BIOWARE!!!

The cure that the hanar are working on: Yes, the "years from being finished part"...
You know what else was "years from being finished? the Genophage cure and Quarian re-adaption to Rannoch and yet...Space Magic! Convenient, no?
"It's realism, people die from terminal illness" Yes they do. But you know what else they do? Survive. And more importantly keep fighting. There may be "bad days" when they feel like giving up, but do you know what stops them? Hope does. And again, the Thane I knew in ME2 sure as hell hadn't given up hope.
"But..that would demean his tragedy, trivialize his character arc". Oh wow. Absolutely beautiful.
So that was who Thane was; Tragedy? He wasn't a character with a life? Oh wait, apparantely his illness was his character. Not you know, the caring father, friend or even lover. Nah, tragedy is where it's at bro.
I suppose that means I should say this to my grandpa:
"Sorry, if you don't die you will be trivialized! Since hey...your life isn't worth living now that you've got dementia."
And to my mom:
"You know if you find life so damn difficult to cope with because of your handicap it isn't worth living. "
Because you know, none of them are persons, they are just ill and dying anyway. Living is "trivial" /sarcasm
Er...NO. BIG GIANT NO-NO.
And the "But survival is too "happy"! We need "doom and gloom" in order to appreciate happiness."
Then there is the meta-gaming foreshadowing known as the "Cure Thane" banner. Which was not only recieved, it was also promoted by BioWare themselves. Don't try to tell me that "Oh we had no idea". Yes you did. And you know...if that isn't trolling fans I don't know what is.
