About Thane being a hero...
He's not exactly a hero-type character. He didn't die for any clear-cut sins, or for personal redemption like Mordin.
Hear me out- Wrex would die for the krogan. Legion and Tali would gladly die for their people. Mordin, as said before, would die to right what he saw was a wrong he had abetted And of course, Shepard would die to bring about galactic peace.
This of course is also taken in consideration with the fact that nearly all the aforementioned deaths are avoidable. But Thane dying to protect the Salarian Councillor?? Thane dying to protect Kahje, to protect the Hanar, I could see. He got that thing done on his eyes. He has a great respect for them. That is clear from ME2.
But not to protect the Salarian Councillor, not when his role is easily fulfilled by another, not when there was almost no interaction with him, romanced or friendship-wise, and then almost no mention of him after the fact.
You bring up an exalent point here, and I was wondering have you seen the sceen with Kirrahee in Thane's place dying for the Salarian Councillor?
I never thought about it this way until just now, but now if you think abut how Kirrahee was clocked and invisable when Kai tried to shoot/stab whatever it was to the Salarian Concillor atttempting to kill him but Kirrahee was there and took the hit while invisable and be came unclocked and Kai got all mad and took off running with Shep and Co in presuite.
Maybe that scene was origially intended and played out with Kirrahee, or unnamed salarian STG dude, but BW decided they wanted some one players knew from the series to make the death hit them, and given Kirrahee can die on Virmire and is dead in the defult un imported save games, maybe BW just looked around and said well look heres Thane let's totally throw him in there.
In fact if you do the Kirrahee scene when your on the Normandy and Joker is talking with Thane over the radio and all, well in the Kirrahee version Joker finds an emergancy SOS from Bailey being broadcast saying C-Sec has been taken by Ceberus, and all Radio chanles are compirmised until C-Sec head quarters can be retaken from Cerberus.
I never really thought much about it that way until I read your post Visii, but now it makes a bit more sense that it would have been done with Kirrahee or unnamed Salarian STG dude, and somewhere along the lines BW decided to cut coners Make un-named Salarian STG dude Kirrahee as the seconday and if alive, and then they threw Thane in there because well they just were lazy and hey look Thane's over at the hospital he's conviantly abvilbe and he's someone players know, lets do that.
I don't but if that's what happened but it certainly could have, and the way the Krriahee scene played there wasn't anytime for Shep to jump in the middle of a fight because well like I said.
Anyway I'll stop rambling, and go see if I can find a youtube version of the Kirrahee death by Kai
Retour en haut
My apologizes.
