He's done for.

I just hope they have a good excuse for why we're going to be taking a man on literally his last breaths with us on one (or more) of the most pivotal missions in the history of the galaxy. I don't really appreciate having new characters over older ones, but the more I think about it, this case is the exception.

If the game had been set only a couple of months after ME2 it would be different, but I'd rather take a generic Alliance soldier than a guy who could drop dead at any moment. It's a ridiculous notion.

[Reikenji]

Honestly I want to see Thane die at some point in ME3. Not because I dislike the character, but because it is scripted to be so.

He knows he doesn't have long left which is why he joined Shepard to atone for his past. Making the universe a little brighter. 

Any Shepard that entered into a relationship with Thane was fully aware Thane is going to die very soon. You made your bed, you'll have to deal with the consequence of choosing to be with Thane.

A miracle cure to save Thane would be unbelievable in my eyes. It would ruin the verisimilitude for me.

Granted I would prefer to see him go out defending those he cares for or a meaningful death. But in the real world that doesn't happen often.

They should have him put in cryo effectively dying for the series but with some mystery of his fate

That was amazing. A million points for that.

I'll give you a hint

-plays "my heart will go on" for you-

that sums it up

[BatmanPWNS]

I believe they should have a side-mission to get him cure and a timer so Shepard can hurry it up or else he ends up dead.

[Han Shot First]

I think it would be incredibly lame storytelling if Thane was somehow miraculously cured.

Where is Sten when you need him?

I think he should should live at least until the end of Mass Effect 3. If he survives the end run and there are character epilogues, he should succumb to the illness shortly after the events of that game.

Hopefully the fishman dies, the character irritates me. Hopefully when Shep clicks the garbage disposal in ME3 Thane gets sucked into space.

If you feel that way, it's easy enough to get him killed during the suicide run.

It's not canon though, they need to get rid of this character asap. 

And I hope this squaddie dies and that squaddie and all the squaddies I personally don't like, I don't care about what their fans feel, BW should just give me what I demand....<_<...(sarcasm)

Funny how they can bring a pile of meat and tubes back to life, but not save a Drells lungs...Thane doesn't need to die.

[crimzontearz]

funny

you guys remember when one of the devs said he "was playing a particular mission that would make Thane's fans VERY happy"?


what happened to that?

[Saberchic]

I find it highly unlikely that Thane will survive. He's near death as is when we go after the collector base. I like him, and I hope he gets a fitting end.

Having said that, I wouldn't object to a remedy of sorts as long as it's believable.

Thane shouldn't be saved based solely on his status as a LI.

that robs some players of a possible happy ending with him

doubt they will let him die

He's 6-10 months away from being incompacitated, not necessarily dying. He's not actually literally on death's door.

Making his whole arc in ME2 have the underlying theme of him dying seems incredibly cheap if they don't intend to follow through in ME3. He needs to die for the integrity of his story, otherwise his entire role in ME2 was marred by a ploy for our sympathy.

@crimzontearz: I think it's silly to romance a character who starts his intro with 'I'm dying' and then expect a happy ending just because you romanced him. But that's just me.

That said, I have no doubt he'll get a miracle cure regardless of how I feel about it. I'm pretty sure some of the official twitters were posting about the 'cure for Thane' fan thing, I doubt they'd publicly acknowledge that if they intended to keep him dying. So in response to the OP, yes, he will live. I'm 99% sure of it.

Yes, and with ME3 taking place 6-12 months later, he's close to the limit.

Isn't near the end of the disease where drell start to be incapacitated? I just didn't see him being able to function a lot for ME3. I figured he'd want to spend whatever time left with his son.

think about it. Bioware said before that this is "our story"

sure, you may think it silly to romance him and not expect him to die because of his disease...but a lot of other people don't. Making his death a plotline death would ****** off a lot of people and maybe even prevent some from ever re-playing the game 

then again, if you feel like he should die I hope Bioware gives us the option of not curing him.....

[Northern Sun]

ME3 takes place "6-12 months after ME2", and according to Thane, he has anywhere from 12-18 months before he becomes bed-ridden. So he'll probably be around in ME3.

So a character tells you he's dying of an incurable disease, he tells you every time you talk to him that he's dying, and then you'll not play the sequel because you're so shocked that he dies of the incurable disease he's warned you about since before you even got emotionally attached to him? That makes no sense.

I don't think there should be an option to 'not cure him', because that makes a Shepard who takes that option a total ass. And it's not that I want him dead anyway, I could just do the SM and get him killed if I wanted that. I just think BioWare should follow through with what they started.

But he told the player out front that he was dying. It's not some shocking reveal. Heck, I like Thane. I'm even doing a playthrough where I romance him, but I'm not expecting BW to cater to me because of it.

If there's a plausible way for Thane to be cured, I don't object to it being in the game.

Or he might think that the best use of his time is fighting to ensure that his son has a chance to live. Thane's not the world's best father by any stretch of the imagination, but why would wanting to keep Kolyat and billions of others safe a bad decision?

I never said it was a bad decision. He might just do that, in fact. I could see him wanting to help Shep out somehow.

But the fact remains that his body will start becoming incapacitated. I'm wondering how much help he can feasibly be.
