Thane isn't the person that sits on his deathbed, waiting for death to take him (like Wynne in DA:O) so I am hoping he gets the death he deserves; tailing out half of a Reaper fleet by infiltrating <insert base name here>, killing numerous husks in style, planting a bomb and sacrificing himself to be with his love. This would also allow to 'do the best thing possible for his son' since he is gonna die anyway.

[TheWarofArt]

Here's to hoping he dies in the epilogue of ME3. =[
I enjoyed his conversations on the Normandy and liked his loyalty mission the most.

Thane will die while eating chocolate and reminiscing about his lost life.

Nice. I don't like him either though. He's supposed to be this badass assassin who kills without remorse and always gets the job done. But he's actually a p*ssy. He takes no responsibility for his actions, refusing to say that his hits are his fault. And, he prays for forgiveness. He was supposed to be hardcore.

Yes, heaven forbid a character buck the trend a little.

I don't know, myself. I imagine he'll be dying from his disease by the time ME3 rolls around too, but he doesn't strike me as a 'quietly die in a bed somewhere' type. He's trying to squeeze every last ounce of meaning out of his life. Something akin to this would be pretty fitting.

He'll die suicide bombing a Reaper from the inside.

[Sarcastic Tasha]

Murder knife? Nah, just kidding, although an assisted suicide from Shep could make for quite a disturbing scene.

He would probably prefer to die in battle but maybe he won't get the chance.

[Swimming Ferret]

LOL, you have a point Tasha. Though in ME we have the murder pistol.

[Unpleasant Implications]

Way I see, he'll die in a sort of Virmire way, infiltrating sort of base or Reaper with a nuke as his Kepral's Syndrome takes his life. As he slowly dies protecting the bomb, he has flashes of his wife and Kolyat and the good times they had. He smiles and closes his eyes. The Nuke goes off.

 He will miraculously not die because his fangirls would not like it. There, I said it! *runs*

Because we're clearly such a HUGE part of the fanbase. <_<

My random guess: Thane will get a lung transplant, which is not a cure since the Kepral's has spread to a lot of his internal organs, during the time gap or in-game, allowing him to at least live through the end of the mission. It might buy him a year or so, enough time to allow him to help his buddy/girl friend end the reaper threat.

It's a decent middle ground between BLARGH HE MUST DIE and NOOOO HE MUST LIVE. It may end up being dependant on what the PC decides, which is fine too- so people who want the tragic death get it, and those who want more time get it too. See? All panties untwisted!

This is what I fear.

I hope that if he is dying (ie, no miracle cure/transplant) and he does end up a squadmate, there's a reasonable excuse for why Shepard would take such a liability with him/her instead of one of millions of capable soldiers and assassins out there that aren't about to drop dead from a lung disease. This isn't really the type of mission you can trust in the hands of a guy in his condition, I don't care if he's 'an old friend' or whatever. It's just a foolish idea.

Seeing that he was at less than 50% capacity when you recruit him, and he's still killing people with his assassin-fu, he clearly has the skills well above and beyond the average.

I'm just going to go for the transplant route. Bandaid solution that gets him through the game, huzzah.

I'd rather take a guy slightly less proficient at necksnaps whose lungs I know for sure won't crap out on me right when I'm in the middle of a reaper fight, personally.

[KyreneZA]

He already dies heroically each and every SM. Shepards all try to stop him, but he wishes to atone.

I like creating some tradegy for my Shepards, so I've yet to accomplish the "Bring 'em all back Alive" achievement.

[RinpocheSchnozberry]

He'll make the murloc gurgle and then Shepard will loot him.

"7 coppers? Thane, you suck."

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm thinking. It'll be seen as unfair by singling out one LI to not be present through ME3.

Also, I'm pretty sure Thane's going to get flipped into being a bisexual option. So there's that.

I bet they give him a lung transplant, despite him being against it according to the LotSB dossier, and post-ME3 using Reaper technology find a cure for it.

He's against it at the beginning of the game. After you complete his loyalty mission and optionally his romance, he's clearly changed. He now has something to live for, and in the LOTSB letter you get if romanced, he states he'd rather die gasping for air than on the battlefield if it means spending more time with Shepard. Knowing that, I doubt he'd be adverse to a treatment.

And as Valentina said earlier, I'm sure Shepard would have a say in the first place to help push him either way. Yes, no, or let him decide--the latter would depend on if his loyalty mission was completed or not. Loyal Thane is a very different person than Disloyal Thane.

[ThatDancingTurian]

But a lot of people didn't romance him. I'm not sure how much he's changed when you don't give him a girlfriend to live for. Post-loyalty he just seemed like he was ready to accept death as an inevitability, IMO. His affairs were all in order and everything.

[CheeseEnchilada]

Guy's got a son to live for now. He could die in ME3, I'm not discounting it, but I wouldn't be surprised if treatment was brought up, and Shepard could push him to take it for Kolyat's sake. Frankly anything could happen--I wouldn't be shocked if Bioware just gave us a Thane VI instead of the real thing. Okay, maybe a little surprised, but still.

[Art3m]

I he survives-that will make the plot cheap. 'cause in the ME2 he tells SM is his last.

I want my sniper assasin with warp and push

[BatmanPWNS]

Well if his gonna die I want to be able to talk to him. By talk I mean an actual last time talk not a bullet to the head.

[alperez]

I don't get why people say that because he was dying in me2 if he's cured or doesn't die of his illness this in some way cheapens the story.

Its not like bringing a character back who is dead just for fanservice or creating a scenario that is impossible just to ensure Thane could return.

Thane himself was pretty much the only person who suggested his condition couldn't be cured or that he shouldn't accept that cure. But that was before surviving a SM, before properly reconciling with Kolyat and before he actually felt that he may have deserved a second chance.

The technical limitations weren't really an issue and after all this is a game where the protagonist is brought back from the freaking dead so curing an illness shouldn't be too difficult. LOSB files suggest a cure is possible, Mordin is basically a genius so even with the LOSB files there could easily be a way to justify it.

So again i don't get how it would cheapen the plot?

As for the OP's topic well how Thane will die doesn't really ring true since in order for Thane to die it would suggest that character deaths are unavoidable, but to play along.

I'd like to see a Road to Perdition ending for Thane.

[Robhuzz]

I think I remember a cdn report explaining a possible cure for the syndrome Thane is suffering from. Seems to me like an attempt to cure him. This would seriously ruin his mystique and cheapen his story though, so I hope it doesn't happen.

Since he's confirmed to be somewhere in ME3 I imagine he'll be like Nigel FishandChips, protecting civilians from reaper troops. I don't see Thane actually dying in bed. If anything he will go out with a bang. Thane (like Andersson) always struck me as someone who would prefer to go down fighting.

@Alperez

A large part of Thane's story and character is about him slowly dying from a syndrome to which there is no cure. He's been talking about that a lot in ME2, it's a large part of what defines him. Suddenly just taking away that syndrome is like taking away a large (and imo important) part of his character. This is what I'd call cheapen his story.
