I don't see how cure is possibly a copout

Thanes entire development, and hell even FemSheps romance with him, is based on the fact that he does not have much time left. His loyalty mission revolved around him making peace with his son while he still had time left. He goes through lengths explaining that while there is a cure in the works, it won't be fully developed until it's too late for him.

I'm sorry, but after all of that, ME3 comes around and cures Thane so he can live happily ever after with FemShep, that would be an undeniable copout.

you are making it sound as if his entire personality revolves around him being terminaly ill.  IMO - the key to his personality is desire for redemption.  terminal illness was merely a catalyst.  maybe if he had heard about his sons new endeavours even despite being healthy - he might have come to the same or similar conclusion.  his loyalty mission shows more about his character then his mortality.

As for him making peace with death, 1 - he is eligible for transplant.  he refused it at first, but it seems that he did so before faling in love with Shepard.  in romance scene - he shows voulnurability and fear.  fear of dying.  he no longer wishes to die.  he has his son back, he has new chance at love. there's something to live for.

Yeah i think he can be cured. It'll probably ****** people off though.

And the people it does ****** off are what we call "The Hypicritical Sequtures"

Meaning that, in ME2 they were clammoring for Thane to BE cured and now that he is most likely to be cured the strike it down as some form of canon based leap of obsertity. 

You can never please these types of people, no matter what you do. 

[wildannie]

Jeweledleah is right, a romanced Thane is most certainly not at peace with death. It makes little sense for any other than a unloyal Thane to still have a death wish. Being back in touch with his son, particularly considering the circumstances of their reunion, would surely give him a reason to fight to keep on living for as long as he can... in the mass effect universe - where there's a will there's a way.

edit: @OP  I certainly hope that Bioware will be nice enough to make this an option.  No matter how awsome the rest of the game is, if I have Thane die on me every playthrough it's going to be a total downer.

Some want him to be cured, other's don't want him cured, a possible balance is that there is a treatment that prolongs the Kerpral syndrome by several years but dosen't cure him....the only way to find out for sure is on March the 6th

But, I think that Thane's willingness to be cured is pretty uncertain.  He made sure his son would not go down the path he took and finally did something good for the world by helping Shep on his mission. He very much made his peace with the world. Maybe a romanced Thane would feel otherwise but even in the SB file on him he seamed to believe his time was over.

A romance Thane is as far from a non-romance Thane as he can possibly get. The thing is a lot of people seem to assume the two are the same, when the truth isn't quite as such.

A romanced Thane has found reason to continue living and is no longer at peace with his death. He literally shakes/cries and admits to FemShep that he is now afraid of death, saying that he feels a "chill settled in [Thane's] gut" when he thinks of his death. Compare that to the other version of him, when he might as well have a death wish. That's not counting an unloyal Thane, who is basically suicidal.

Thane is one of those characters that feel multidimensional depending on how you react to them. There are a few different phases to him rather than a fixed one, as many may believe.

[Lucky Thirteen]

I'm sure Thane would want to continue living so he can be with his son and patch up things. With or without Shepard as his lover.

He thought he was done with his life before finding out what his son was doing. Thane had thought his son had gone on to a normal, stable life without him. Thane thought he had nothing left personal in the world of value. It's not just Shepard that gives him a reason to live, but his son who clearly, desperately, needs his father, even if it's for a little while before he passes on.

I wouldn't completely doubt Kolyat eventually changing his tune about his father dying either.

I think they've got an opportunity to make a great emotionally-stirring death scene with him for a femshep that romances him. Hope they don't miss that opportunity, but it won't be the first time they did for something like that.


The leaks on him were pretty ridiculous IMO. It'll be supralame if they go that direction they planned.

[FFinfinity1]

I imagine Bioware might make thane live/die a number of ways in ME3

1) He might Die due to his Kepral Syndrome (maybe further advanced due to lose of son i.e. stress)

2) Die in blaze of glory saving many lives
or
3) might be cured by Mordin or some other third party.

Which i don't see as to 'Dues Ex Machina' because aren't you curing the genophage in ME3 which was achieved in ME1 (destroyed by shepard) and in ME3(by Mordin and Maelon cure) for an alliance. Mordin even said he was on the verge of curing Jokers bone disease except it causes liver failure...He was close all i can say.

Maybe the only way to save Thane is to romance him because you work harder to find a cure and you allocate time and resources needed for the galactic readiness to Thane.

Shepard needs to go to trial as a terrorist who murdered 300K Batarian men, women, and children.

In the world that we all live in people die and are held accountable for their wrong doing even if the society cannot see the greater good. I expect that we are going to see a lot of characters that we like depart the field forever and perhaps even ourselves. We are going to watch worlds burn, see populations destroyed, witness death on a scale never dreamed of in the human mind.

It all has to begin somewhere and Thane is elected.

Its not Improbable for Thane to live but on a side note...

Why Is Shepard being tried as a terrorist who kill 300k people when they were going to die anyways in the next hour due to reapers. In my eyes even if it was a heinous act he saved them from becoming husks (the ultimate punishment for me). I guess other people want appeasement from the whole batarian/human dispute.

[S.A.K]

He'll probably make a dramatic speech before he dies.

I could see this really working, especially if they do one of those "ima die anyway, so I keel myslef to save you all" scenes, denying the perputrator any ahievement.

[CrazyRah]

I'm expecting Bioware to throw in something out of the blue on random just to give all the people that want to cure Thane a chance to do so. I don't expect it to make sense at all but i would be surpised if Bioware didn't make a cure possible

Yes but we already know you hate good stories.

[uzivatel]

Of course they are going to heal him, this is BioWare we are talking about. Fan service is one of the pillars their popularity is build upon, not consistency.

[gratzner]

I'd like Thane to survive because he is awesome. I dont care about "what makes a character", if I like them so be it and I will try my best to keep them alive.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

I have gathered that when people consider this issue, they only look at two possible outcomes:

1) A magical Cure that would cheapen his character
2) An epic death

So when faced with those two options, which one are you going to choose? Of course it will be the epic death.

What people fail to consider is that there are so many other options available in the highly advanced context of the Mass Effect universe.

Thane could have cybernetic augmentations to unnaturally prolong his life.
He could use the technology from Cerberus (the Lazarus Project) to have a pair of artificial lungs created for him.
He could be placed in cryo until the Hanar develop a cure for Keprel's syndrome.
Collector technology from the base could be used to modify is respiratory system.
Shepard could have a list of different options for one last thing that Mordin could work on. And one of those requests could be on discovering a cure for Keprel's syndrome.

What I am trying to illustrate, that it isn't limited to: Magical cure or death. Bioware have imagination. I am sure they will use it.

Ok, if you've romanced Thane (or just like him in general)  MOST people want ME3 to have a way in the game where you can cure him of his Keprals Syndrome, but some others say that they feel it is necessary for Thane to die in the game because "it goes along with his character" And a few other times ive seen people say "As long as he goes out in a blaze of glory I'll be ok with it". Does anyone think we'll be able to keep him alive throuought the game? Will the fem-shep's who romanced him be able to take him to see a desert,like he asked?
 

Normally, I'd say no, but Thane is a special case.

It would be grossly unfair to Thane romancers for them to not get a happy ending with him when other LIs probably will get a happy ending.  For the sake of equality between the LI subplots, I'd guess that there will be a way to cure him.  If he were not a romanceable character, I'd rate it as less likely.

Ahh, it's you.  I knew we'd be seeing you in this thread:)

[Ariadnee]

I support the option to give Mordin a large can of Red Bull so that he may find a cure for Thane and also for Garrus' mum and a way to blow all of the Reapers to bits.

[Skullheart]

What if we can make a cure for him usin reaper tech instead the hanar research. It can be like "Thane, there's a way to cure you. But the methods that this cure requires are almost an abomination."

Then there's the option to cure him, or let him have a glorious or peaceful deth.
