I'm sure that mission will be fun, and I will enjoy playing it. I just don't see how you're suppose to continue your relationship with him if you don't see him agian after that. I know that we don't know it for sure, but that article made it sound like that was it. Not satisfied, not happy just content.

I am operating under the fantasy that, for the final mission, you get the entire team back together and raise some hell with the best of your space bros.  I will continue to believe this until otherwise shown.

So basically, Thane, Mordin, and Shepard kick Reaper ass and fly off into the sunset.

EDIT: Also, here is a picture of Thane and Shepard gazing over a cliff.



"So, uh... Looks like Mordin fell pretty far.  Should we go down there and help him?"



"... Nah."

Oh hey, the man who's supposedly on his death bed is crawling around and going to find some miracle cure to his disease which was years behind from coming out. Wonderful.

You felt the nee to tell us this because what?

You jump to conclusions awfully fast, don't you?

At this point I wouldn't be surprised to hear Tali being able to walk around without her suit with no problems or the possibility of interspecies children.

Writers tend to write everything for a reason, last time I checked.

Hmm. Thank you for the news, Cheez! I have to say that I totally expected something like that so I'm not all that excited. I am hard to please. Now I wonder whether temporary squaddies can become more or less 'permanent' if they are active LIs. I mean, it's totally possible to fight a war without your LI being by your side, but sad. Especially if other LIs would be able to stay on the Normandy.

Ah. Be positive! Be positive, Jelly!

I like Thane and would like to have him along for the ME3 ride. He have his role among the alien bros. We got, for examples, the cynical but funny guy, the cool guy, the smartass girl and Thane, the philosophical guy.

But... Please don't take this the wrong way my Thane fan friends... But I think it would take away some of his coolness if Thane got cured. I want him to die because I like him, strange as it may sound. It's no big deal though, a cured Thane also works for me.

It's hard to be positive sometimes.

All it said was that they were working on a cure. They still haven't found one yet.

I know.  That's why I'm really hoping that article is true.  If it is I really can't wait for ME3 now.    

[Collider]

I reserve judgement.
But I don't think they would tease the "cure Thane" thing that Weekes did and NOT have him cured or allow the possibility.

And if they did cure him? It could harm his character. It could also help his character.
Overall, I hesitate to jump to judgement, especially since the devs obviously know much more about this than we fan peons do.

To be perfectly honest, I think he deserves a glorious death in combat.  However, the fan community put a lot of effort into campaigning for a cure, so the option to at least extend his life should be available in a salute to that effort.  Such an option, however, should come with clear consequences and drawbacks.  For example, maybe Thane would prefer not to extend his life.  Maybe the cure is a very limited batch, or incomplete, and using it on himself would mean withholding it from other drell that need it more.

Or maybe there's a Zaeed-style mission path split halfway through or something.

Just thinking out loud here.

Anyway, Thane = awesome.  I didn't like him much at first (I saw him as a shallow attempt to make the ideal LI for girls), but after I started using him in combat, I realized how badass he was, and that encouraged me to talk to him more.  I really came to appreciate his character.  The one thing that saddened me was how all of his best lines only happen if you fail his loyalty mission.

"Entropy wins... entropy always wins..."

"There is a differnce between taking evil out of the world and putting good in it."

Damn, Krios.  You deep.

[Big stupid jellyfish]

@Cheez: I know what you mean and, being a Thanemancer, I understand the appeal of him dying gloriously in combat... Or even the appeal of him fading away because of the Kerpal's. I, however, cannot help but refer to the thread you've made a day ago: let my Shepard and me save him and have him by our side.

Yep.  Hence why I sort of support a Thane cure.  Bring on the goddamn happy endings.

Just, you know, not super-contrived or anything.  Make it good.  And weighty.  Bioware shouldn't be all, "well you asked for it, so here you go derp."

Or just let him live long enough to see the credits roll.

[Dave of Canada]

I just don't see why Thane should survive considering that was what his entire character was about and Thanemancers knew exactly what they were getting into when they were romancing him. Surviving past the credits? Sure. Dyying in the epilogue like Viconia? Better because you'd actually see it coming.

x1000 times this.

(But well, everything fans asked for should be delivered good and weighty. Like the Thane cure. Or turian ladies. Or squad banters.)

Exactly. We have had this disscussion a million times.

I saw that campaing poster, and I thought that was awesome, but it was also discouraging to see all the hate that came as well.  I thought that the reaction from the fans meant BioWare did a good job on Thane's character despite the reason behind why he was made.  The game has already teased that he can have his life extended, so I dont see why the possibility of it in ME3 would be such a stretch to begin with.  I feel if you want to keep Thane you should have that ability, along with all the other squad mates.

I kind of agree with Collider.  I'm going to wait for BioWare to tease at the mission before I 100% believe it.  This news embargo has just been excruciating.  Not even a screenshot or two, nothing.  Overall, I want a decision of some kind.

I stand by that if it is written well and plausible within the ME universe, then having a choice won't ruin Thane, his impact, or his story arc.  

[Kaiser Shepard]

And there goes another character's integrity...

[JECWSU]

The only thing that will ruin Thane's character is bad writing. Not if he gets a cure, or if he doesn't. We will just have to wait and see.
