Nay, if it happens i will go back to the suicide mission and kill him

[Lordgleen]

WHy not have the cure work a bit on him giving him a few more years but not fully cure him.

[PrinceLionheart]

Nay. That would be a copout.

Yes. One of my Shepards wants to keep her favorite lizard. ♥

Isnt he an amphibian?  All the racial slurs I hear about him are mostly "frog-boy" and the like (ok so the only one I heard was frog-boy)




back on track:
 I think it'd be more dramatic if he dies during the game from his illness, his character would have a greater impact on the story as a whole if he did.

If he was an amphibian he wouldn't be in the trouble he's in

Not all amphibians (frogs in general)  live in humid areas of the world.  I can name... 4 off the top of my head.

I guess there are always exceptions but amphibians are associated with water and humidity, I think people call him 'frog boy' because he's green...

if some of you think it's more meaningful to die, bioware could give you the option to shoot him as he announces his victory over his illness.

[BlueMagitek]

Nay; especially nay if it's connected to his romance arc; if anything, it should be only connected to a positive conclusion of his Loyalty Mission.

Besides, given my track record with Thane, I'd need to restart the game because it'd glitch as soon as I gave it to him. ._.

[SavesTheDay]

I'd say aye, if it was the conclusion to how you treated Thane or did his loyalty mission, or something you could skip over if your Shepard didn't think it was a top priority. Not automatically cured if he's still around in ME3. Although, even if Thane doesn't get cured, I'd like to see a cure for the rest of the Drell that have Kepral's Syndrome.

[vvDRUCILLAvv]

Yea I say.

Nay, this is one case where his death would be meaningful. He has the disease, he was stated to be dying, to undo that now would validate the care bear arguments.

Care bears are awesome.

But seriously, the reason he was so eager to die was because he'd screwed up his life to the point that there was no point in living it anymore.  He even refused a lung transplant.

Reuniting with Kolyat, and perhaps finding love in FemShep, have given him a reason to live again.

Rebirth > Death.

Agreed.  Most definately has a reason to live.

[MrFob]

Which Thane? I am currently a Thane of Whiterun, Riften ...

ok, sorry 'bout that.
I say NAY! Not because I dislike Thane but because it is simply not very good dramatically if we get to solve every problem in the galaxy within a trilogy that takes place within 5 years or so. With the Reapers, the Genophage, the Geth - Quarian stiuation, and all the other crap we have to deal with, I'd say we have enough on our plates.

[HolyAvenger]

Nope, curing Thane seriously weakens his entire story arc. Tragic romance with a doomed warrior to end in his death please.

I don't see how it weakens anything personally but to each his own. 

[HolyAvenger]

Choosing to let Thane die vs. Thane dying no matter what you do are very different storylines. Its the difference between Virmire and the SM. Any death on the SM is your choice.

[paulaa17]

I vote for the cure!! at least to have a choice if we want to cure him or not!

[cynicalandbored]

No. He has an illness that cannot be cured or so is stated. How stupid would that be if all of a sudden, miraculously he'd get cured? Space magic? I've had enough.

[dragonflight288]

I say no cure. He knew he was dying and flat out announces it before he even joins our squad in ME2. Anyone getting into a romance with him already know it's going to end in some form of tragedy.

Plus, I thought his deathbed scene with Shepard and Koliat praying for Shepard's sins was so moving that I shed a few tears. That scene was so powerful that I honestly think it would be cheapened if there was an option to save his life from Kepler's Syndrome.

[Corbinus]

Nay. True art is angsty.
To everyone who romanced him and now is outraged -
well he was a dying man and you knew it.

Im gonna say no.. He was written into the story as the repentent hero he was always gonna pass away their was no hiding that fact and no need to.. the fact so many players grew attached to him shows his story was written in a meaningful way.. suddenly chucking a cure destroys that

Everytime Boromir died in lotr it saddened me why why.. simply because it helps you form an emotional attachment and provides meaning to the story, You end up wanting to get to the end of the story just to see that his passing had some meaning..

Ok ME3 ending might not actually help that point depending on your views of the ending heh

[fchopin]

No cure.

[Overule]

Nay. He (unlike Shepard) *was* always supposed to die. And his parting moments were well done IMO.

Choice for a cure. 

Yes, we knew he was dying.  He knew he was dying.  Yet he tells you that the hanar are working on a cure, and in the LoTSB, we find out he's a candidate for a lung transplant.  Having him automatically die is the easy way out. 

I didn't find the scene powerful at all, especially as ALL Sheps get the prayer.  There was no unique dialogue for a romanced Thane.  They had him do a complete 180 from what he expressed he wanted in ME2.  He did not want to die in a hospital, and if you romanced him, he didn't want to die at all.  He no longer was comfortable with his own death.  And yet, first encounter, he's all ok with it AND IN A HOSPITAL.  HELLO CONTINUITY??

So, a choice to save him does not make the story less poignant, or less tragic.  And "true art is angsty?"  Please.  I'm sure there are a lot of artists that would disagree.
