Linking this comic of mappeli's. The result of our crazy discussions regarding the fics she's asked me to write about Thane, her Shep Luna, and their daughter Thila.

I love this comic. It is HILARIOUS!!! :D :D :D

Edit: here's the link to the page, since it's too small to read properly. :)

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).
 
 

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 scenePosted Image. (sigh) to each there own I guess but still they dont gotta be jerks about it n troll on us damnit! Ohohohoh no but if it were Liara they would probably ****in shut BW down! Urg!!!!!! Im sorry but I just dont see wht ppl see in her, shes soooo boring to me and has NO personality! U knw I didnt hate her tht much b4 ME3 now shes just everywhere n basiclly being forced down my FemSheps throat as a LI tht it just infuriates me to no end! Oh n she gets the longest most flashiest romance scene!? Posted Image
(sigh) sorry sorry didnt mean to sound so ****y I just honestly dont understand how a character with so much depth and excellent writing (well in ME2 anyway) gets pushed aside so carelessly to make room for characters like her and countless other in ME3!
Sorry again no one kill me 4 bad mouthin BW front gurlPosted Image

Hheheh I wrote a bunch down:D Lol yea I saw tht pic tht they put on the Protest page on FB where it shows FemShep n MaleShep n it has all the LI available for them n I was speechless and angry! Its soooo sad when u actually see the truth. Oh n the Jacob lovers out there I felt sooo sorry for them, I had a Femshep named Briseis who romance him as well but then heard wht happend n thought "oh sorry Bri looks liked you were hit with the BW **** stick as wellPosted Image)

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!!!

@Lance - I actually really like that picture of the female Drell, but I wish the artist would draw her without mammory glands (aka bweebs). :D Of course, nothing wrong with the artist using their own concept to create, and it is still a beautiful picture. :)

@giftfish - What you said a thousand times. I may be a bit of a realist, and not really hold much hope for any added Thane content, but if they do, I would expect more than table scraps. I never really looked through the leaked script (even now, I peruse...don't want it invading my ability to start imagining what REALLY should have happened.....according to me....HA!) But, the bits I have seen are only marginally better than what we got.....at least in my opinion. I held to certain beliefs of what they could/would do for his character in me3, and this was born from in game material that we gathered in ME2 (everything from Kolyat's involvement in Thane's life based on the LM, to Kajhee/Rakhana storylines. Even bringing in a TRUE Hanar character.....not to mention life extension/cure for Thane and the Drell people.) I really, really never believed that his character would get sidelined so much with a nonsensical involvement with a Cerberus Coup, and that his romance arc would literally be dumped.

So I don't accept table scraps, as @giftfish worded so perfectly. Give me good quality content, choices aplenty, and my money will talk.......

A trillion times this!

Your gonna lose alot of fans/money if you don't let us have that option to save him and cure him and if you don't...well your gonna regret it big time Bioware!!!!

There was no sense in killing Thane off like that at all! It's like you made this Amazing character for us then just snatched him away from us...kinda like giving candy to a child then snatching it away! We don't even recognise Thane in ME 3...that's not the Thane we/femshep came to know and romanced in ME 2?

And like giftfish said there are no I love you's...also it's like all Thane was looking for was a deathwish the whole time! That is not the Thane we know!

LET US SAVE THANE!!!!!!!

Oh but wait....wasn't it PW that denied any foreshadowing existed? You would think that, with so many people in the bioware Collective, they would know these things, but from where I am standing I'm surprised they can complete an actual sentence.

Foreshadowing...funny thing that...

Because personally I actually counted four different treatments to Kepral's Syndrome that exists lore-wise, and as such is a kind of fore-shadowing:

Antibiotics: This treatment doesn't help Thane anymore though. Which, if my limited knowledge of biology is correct, doesn't make sense, something about Thane becoming resistant to antibiotics? Which is not how antibiotics work, the targeted bacteria is the one that becomes resistant not the patient iirc.

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?

Eupolmos Device: No, don't try to tell me that CDNN isn't canon. It is. As a matter of fact, you know that guy Adrien Victus? That cool turian Primarch (voiced by Farley ftw!)? He was a commanding officer on Taetrus. You know what else happened on Taetrus? The Eupolmos Device did. And yes, it works for both levo and dextro species.

Lung Transplant: Yes, Thane refused to be put up on the list I know. But that was before waking up from his "battle-sleep". Don't feed me with the "Oh but he's ok with dying again so he doesn't want one" boogaloo. The Thane I knew in ME2 wouldn't turn a deaf ear to his friend/Siha, and no one close of kin (or friend for that matter) would in their right mind ignore to bring up a possible treatment. Technically, that goes for all of the above treatments.

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.

Not to mention the ableism which is sadly surfacing in a subtle, but nonetheless noticable way:

"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 let me tell you a lesson in life, one I sincerely hope you will never need to experience first-hand:

A loved one close to you is gravely ill. You have literally no idea if she's going to pull through or not. Your entire world is upside down. You try to adjust to the possibility that your loved one will never come home again. Everyone you know around you tries to cheer you up so that you don't give up. Somedays it works better than others. Somedays you fight on because it is what your close one wants you to do.

But somedays you ask yourself if it is a fight you can ever win. The thoughts crawl in your head: Will she live? What if she doesn't...what then? How can I go on when she is gone?
You look at a pill bottle; This uncertainty is enough! You can end it right there, right now! But you don't. And there is one reason alone that you don't, the last thing to leave man as they say: Hope.

Hope that you will see your loved one again, that you can tell her how much they mean to you, that you can hear her voice, look in her eyes, and live your life with her. Yes, hope alone is what sustains you, and keeping it in the back of your mind is what ensures your own survival. So no hope isn't "trivial" at all.

A few weeks later you get the news; She will pull through!

And here is the funny thing, you stop taking that person for granted. You already almost lost them once already. You're not going to make the mistake of wasting what time you have left with them.

Oh, I forgot to mention. Survival isn't exactly just "sunshine and bunnies". Both the survivor and those close to her needs to find their way back in life. And that is not as easy as it sounds. The illness leaves scars; physical and otherwise, for again, both the survivor and her close of kin.

Adjusting to these scars doesn't happen overnight, it is constant, and truth be told, they never disappear completely. You can patch them up as best as you can, but they don't disappear, and they certainly aren't "trivial" at all.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/Rant over. I hope I didn't depress people with that wall of text.

And yes, I suppose I just admitted that I was at one point in my life, suicidal.

I really did almost end my life at the age of 12. Yes I was stupid. Yes I was weak.

I know that now. I didn't back then.

I'm usually very hesitant to admit that part to people, because it tends to, for some reason, invite ignorance en masse. In relation to the above, I guess this does give me another perspective on Thane too, at least in the "regaining the will to live again part" since it is something I have experienced first-hand. And as such Thane's role and dialogue in ME3 really rubs me the wrong way in that his will to live in ME2 apparantely means nothing.

[Edit] This post is probably littered with spell/grammar phail. Meh it's way late over here and I'll double-check things at a later time.

I completely agree with everything you just said.
I remember reading the leaked scripts and not being that happy with what they gave Thane.
While the leaked scripts would have been a little bit better than what we got, it still isn't as good as what we had in ME2.

What has this world come to! There is something called miracles BIoware! I was born with a genetic disease and doctors told my mom I wouldn't live to see 30....I'm 31 going on 32....aaand so you want to send out message that there is no hope for the ill! Wow I feel so much better already...Thank you Bioware what an awesome message to send out! *sarcasm*

I thank GOD everyday for the new day he's given me,the family and Husband who love me and are always there for me! For you to put out a message like there is no hope for the ill?....*sighs*

Can't run away from this one Bioware!

Tbh I think what they did was cheap and low...they gave us false hope and then killed him off...and with what they did to the Jacob fans is just as low...
And with what little time Femshep has with Thane....it was horrible,no I love yous no spark just Thane all happy and giddy about him dying... WTF? Posted Image

Let me put this simple! ....WE WANT OUR DRELL BACK!!!! LET US HAVE AN OPTION TO SAVE THANE!!!!

The word option...Definition of the word option = the power or right of choosing.

What really irks me is the whole Cure=MacGuffin sentimentality.

Like you said Roxy, miracles do happen. But that doesn't mean they're worth nothing. And that is my point really, just because they challenge an obstacle and prevails over it doesn't mean it holds no emotional value or, that is plain and simple. And in that vein dismissing an untold story on the premise that it would be "trivial" is imo rather prejudical to say the least.

I remember that campaign all too well. It was like asking me, do you want cake or pie? Since I really don't like cake, I pick the pie and then told, "Sorry we have no PIE!!!' WTF..then why ask me. In the end I am left cold, bitter and have no use for the one who asked the question. My memory is so bad but I think 10 years ago (this is the spot where I am spotty on, the year) I went on a similar tirade about a character and while the support for this character was greater than that of Thane's fan base we got what we wanted.

To this day I'm not entirely sure if it was our uproar or they were going to do it anyway. Regardless, we got what we wanted. I am more apt to believe now they were going to save him anyway. But I didn't have the luxury of hindsight back then.

I am remembering all this now as my older child gets older and starts watching old shows. For once in a long time I am cool now because I can help her and she is in complete awe of my collection of stuff I have. Finally I have an ally in this house, we sit and squeee to our heart's content while watching him.

As for Thane, I am still bitter and I am still in complete awe at the amount of fail they managed with this instance. While on vacation, I went to Crapplebee's and there was this really nice employee. He saw my N7 shirt and commented on how great of game ME2 was and wanted to know about ME3 as he had not bought it yet. I told him to not even bother unless he likes to pay for disappointment. Then another employee came over and wanted to know if it really was that bad. I said, well if you play as ManShep, it's alright but stop the game as soon as you land on Earth and make up your own ending. My 10 year old went, "oh no, not this again, we are on vacation" then looked at the two employees and said, "she is still upset over the treatment of Thane, he dies no matter what and it left her Shepard with only girls to kiss." LMAO!!!! I had to explain it.
