I'm not really behind the idea of curing Thane's illness, primarily because it flies in the face of the narrative's build up in ME2. I feel like if they wanted to cure Thane, there should have been some indication already that it's possible rather than the whole thing about the Hanaar being unable to find a way to do it.


This pretty much.  Although.... some people have said that the shadow broker dossiers indicate that Thane could be cured.  I don't quite understand that... if it's true, then why did the writers build up the idea that he's definitely dieing?  If there's supposed to be foreshadowing of him being cured you'd think it wouldn't be tucked away in a text file in a DLC.

Perhaps he should find a new meaning in life, get cured - and then die fighting the reapers anyway.  Everybody wins!

Very logical. I like it. :)

Personally.. no
But for the ones that want him cured, giving the players the option works for me.

If they make a cure Thane is to far advanced to benefit from its use. Thane shouldn't get a magical cure either.

Sure. Give me that option. In fact the more options the better. This is a video game, not a movie.

I feel indifferent. I would welcome a small change where, if romanced, he drives himself to live just long enough to get treatment, but that un-romanced he dies in a burst of glory.

His death has been build up since ME2, but i think that it would only be good if everyone who's fan of a certain character can gain their happy ending.

I'd say that not every problem should be fixed.

I won't say that Thane must die no matter what, but, for example, Shepard curing genophage, negating peace between quarians and geth, geth leaving Rannoch to quarians, curing Thane, saving Earth and every homeworld, keeping all 18 squadmates from all games alive, rescuing Anderson, curing Miranda's infertility, giving peace to Jack and, at the very end, completely defeating the Reapers and surviving is just too much. Something must go wrong to give the sense of accomplishment in the end.

Thane dying has a potential to become situation which shows "you always fail something no matter how hard you try", it won't make Shepard look incompetent, it was foreshadowed (underestimation of a year) and doesn't render all 3 games meaningless, so it's likely candidate.

People who claim it's "bad writing" to cure Thane should go marathon Breaking Bad.

There will most certainly be a cure for Thane in ME3, if we know BW.

I like thane, aside from his B.S. regarding you know what..

But hes cool and i dont want a cure.. His arc would be more tragic if he died.

I support the option (and I'd probably take it).

No.

While Thane is one of my favorite characters (second to Garrus), it would serve his character better if he died. He aided the galaxy, redeemed himself with his son, and has come to peace with his death. He served his purpose in his eyes. He also believes in being reborn after death. Taking that away from him leaves him in a world where he was responsible for the death of his wife.

It would also be nice if some characters actually died. Everyone living just feels so...just such a cop out. I know everyone wants their favorite characters to live, but when their time comes, it comes.

If BioWare were to save Thane (doubt it, VO work is done and now conversation testing is going into its final phase), then I wouldn't have a problem with it. I just think his death serves his character better.

This.

Everyone interprets Thane's arc differently, so why not.  Aye for me.

I think they should make the choise to cure him possible. Maybe base it on some choises you've made, for ex reuniting him with his son, romancing him (both of which is making him want to live), maybe Mordin surviving the suicide mission (a brilliant doctor, could help perhaps?), and maybe choises you're possibly going to have to make like saving the hanar homeworld over some other world.

Nay because I hate when writers go back on what they established before. Like 'there is no cure' ... oh wait, there is one, sorry, my mistake.

Depending on the player's efforts. Saying "Nay" just for a few additional ounces of grimdark is lame. Make an easy decision out of it; you can either save the cure or two dozen orphans trapped in a burning building. The cure is the obvious choice, but anyway, the universe will still retain its proper amount of cruelty in both cases.

Irritating. Very irritating.
When people ask this question, an instant thorn gets in my thumb.
And then the Thane bashing comes, then it starts an argument just like with the Mirimancers and the Talimancers. Or even Jack.

But Aye for me.

Simple topic really, Bioware received a petition from Hannah Raad to cure thane's illness (link).

https://www.facebook...&type=1

Who here supports this idea? If you do like Hannah's Facebook photo (click like) and tell us why here,

or if not tell us why also.

Discuss.

S'F'

Nay! It would cheapen the romance and the significance of it for Thane. This is also why the Tali romance was so poorly handled. They talk about how she could literally die from exposure, and yet, there are no negative consequences at  the end, other than a runny nose and cough. It made the whole thing meaningless. But that's Mass Effect for ya.

It ****s on it's own lore and established facts every chance it gets.

Aye,
A cure should be an option. BW should not remove the chance of best ending from any section of the fanbase.

Nay, as that would necessitate even more bad writing.

If the cure for Thane SOMEHOW is connected to some choices I'll be fine with it. Though, I have no clue what choices could apply to that.

I just hope that if he is cured, it isn't rushed through or anything.
