There have been many threads saying that either 'Thane should die' or 'Thane should be cured' in ME3. But, there are many other things that can happen. Feel free to be as creative as you want .

I have a few ideas as to other things that can happen, some ideas are from fanfiction, contributions on the Thane thread, or my own ideas, but i would just like to emphasise that it isn't a case of either a magical cure, or a glorious death.

In the universe of Mass Effect, all sorts can happen. That much has already been explored, particularly in the opening of Mass Effect 2. So here are some possibilities for Thane:

He is put into cryo until a cure is discovered, however, this will probably come at the cost of Thane's respect, as he says that he would hate to do nothing while he waits for his Keprel's syndrome to finish him.

The technology from the Lazarus Project is used to create an artificial lung for him, however, this involves a risky mission inside a Cerberus guarded area.

If the technology from the Collector station was salvaged in ME2, then it can be used to implant Thane with cybernetics, another scenario that he will likely disapprove of. But think of a cyborg assassin Thane and a showdown between him and Kai Leng!

Mordin offers to do a final request for Shepard, and one of those requests can be on working on a cure for Thane (or some method of prolonging his life.) This would come at the cost of him only being able to do one request, thus losing the opportunity for Mordin to work on anything else. (After all, he is in his early 50s.)

While on Invictus (although this isn't a 100% confirmed mission, it seems highly probable.) Kolyat dies and Thane is mortally wounded in action. Although Thane would be mortified when he woke up, Shepard has Mordin (or Dr. Chakwas) perform a lung transplant. But it is very unlikely that Thane will be romanceable if Shepard did this.

These ideas include consequences of varying severity, as, personally, I wouldn't want a magical cure. I never have and I never will, it would cheapen his story arc, and act as an anti-climax. On the other hand, I wouldn't like his death to be compulsory. For the romance arc in particular, he is no longer ready for death, as he has his son, Shepard, and his atonement to live for. I agree that a death for Thane should be one of the choices available in terms of his fate, I just feel that a choice will allow more immersion for people like myself, and to follow through on the hope that Shepard gives Thane.

Any other ideas on how you think Thane's character arc should progress in ME3 are welcome. Just no trolling/flaming please .

 Well, i want thane to die. I want him to die with shep right by his side. If you Romance him, the scene would be the sadest thing ever. 

Thats what i personally want.

I do have a playthrough planned where I am hoping something like that will happen. It will be a very tragic, bittersweet ending. Although for other playthroughs, I am hoping there will be other options outside of the two obvious decisions.

A heroic death, saving Kolyat or the scientist who will one day cure Kepral's.

[Mediciine]

Well, I'm content which how things are in the leaked script. There are two different scenarios of Thane's death - and one of them is pretty gutsy and stubborn. And heroic - changes hopeless situation into easier one.

With his death regardless of LI status. Although those who did romance Thane should get a bigger, more emotional payoff in the end.

[JeffZero]

Heartwrenching death with ample reason to believe his son will grow up a decent man if you successfully completed his LM and a generally better emotional payoff if he was romanced.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

The problem I have with the expectations of a glorified, and emotional death is that if Shepard's LI died on the Suicide Mission in ME2, then there was practically no reaction. Therefore it wasn't emotional whatsoever.

[JeffZero]

I romanced Thane in ME2, killed him there, and still found it emotional. That he patches things up with his son knowing he has little time left and then dies in a nigh impossible scenario strikes a chord with me.

[Ryzaki]

Me? I'd want him to live his last days in peace or saving scientists that would help other Drell with his condition.

dead

[Zorziban the Great]

I don't know what I want to happen to Thane. It's up to Bioware to decide, it's their game and vision, so we'll see. I like Thane, but him either dying or living doesn't really matter to me. Either way I will be happy.

[AdmiralCheez]

Cured, just to make people mad.

[wildannie]

I want various outcomes

Romanced - he can survive in game through means of a transplant, he's cured post game (epilogue).

loyal - I would also like his survival to be a possibility depending upon the circumstances in the game. If it's possible for his life to be prolonged I would like him to seek it out for Kolyat.

unloyal - He should die, probably saving Kolyat.

If there is no chance to save him .... : (

[Bekkael]

I fully expect him to be killed off, but I would love the option to cure him and have him end up with his romanced Shepard. I'm a lover of happy endings in my games, since you so seldom get that IRL.

[Donnstar]

Him dead. He has lung cancer. Not a common cold.

[mythlover20]

You'll see when you finish beta-ing my story, Miss Tasha!

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

Looking forward to it Myth . And Jeffzero, maybe I am just dramatacist, because I thought that a brief pause in the mission, and then touching the coffin at the end was a bit of an understatement if Shepard's LI had just died. Hopefully there will be a reference to it in ME3 if someone died in the SM. But I am hoping for a more emotional death for Thane if it does happen.

It is interesting to see that people still think that he should die even though there are other options available that mean he can survive, but with consequences. Although it would be nice and heart-warming to see him die saving his son, scientists or to further another noble cause, that way he atones for his ways.

So are there any other scenarios besides a cure or death that anyone would like to see?
