Please don't flame me-- *snips*

I I am at peace with it.

We don't flame here!!

It's great that the way Thane was handled was enjoyable for you. 

For me it was not.  I didn't enjoy the lack of dialogue or choice given, and I hated that basically all the dialogue was the same for both M/FShep and romanced Shep.  And he's the only ME2 character that didn't get a "mission" of some sort.  VERY disappointing for one of their most beloved characters!

It's also the fact that it's not difficult to please everyone in this situation. Just offer options!

You know, options that nearly every other ME2 character, (not to mention LI) got!

I honestly have no idea how to use Twitter. So don't look at me, I'm even more clueless. :S

Same here, lol, Twitter puzzles me, sigh!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets confused by it.

Also where is the protest's dA page so I can favorite it?

[Cosmochyck]

I have no idea - there is a dA page? I'd favourite it too! Maybe the Thane Forever group? Plus Squeegee83 has stuff going on for Thane...

[RShara]

Guys! Guys! IGN is bringing up the ME2 romances. Someone with Twitter, tell them about Thane!

what the...what the hell was that? it said it was supposed to be mass effect 3 but was something entirely different.

I got a weird video too, not the Mass Effect one. Is it some sort of joke they're doing?

Also, sorry that this is my first post. I'm really excited that I'm not the only one who felt the romance was somewhat lacking. I could accept the fact that Thane dies. What I cannot accept is that it was like a blip on the screen. Upsetting, to say the least. I specifically held back from writing fanfiction for my Thanemance because I wanted to write about the aftermath of the series. Which doesn't exist. Disappointing.

Twitter and Tumblr are both very confusing to me. I have accounts in both places and just mainly look at the pr0nz. What?

I think it's because the 'cast is over now. I think this is the link to the recording

Oh cool, got it. Might watch it later when you all ditch me for your time zones.

me toooooo... and now i can't bring myself to work on it anymore.  ugh fuuuuuuuuuu

anyway, welcome!  coming here has helped me feel a lot less bummed about it, just knowing that i'm not the only one who was really broken-hearted about it.  felt like losing a real life friend.

I still tweeted the hell out of Thane to IGN and mass effect AFTER I saw the post about the spoilercast - hopefully they get the message!!

A LOT of the tweets to IGN were against Thane dying and how he needed more time!

[Yermogi]

I really hope they're taking our requests into consideration and not just trying to humor us until we realize it's futile or something. I adore the vast majority of the game, but I felt that most of the ME2 squad got the short end of the stick, so to speak. Not just Jacob or Thane, but Grunt and Samara and the others, too. We see most of them for maybe 5 minutes, tops, whereas the ME1 squad members are always around. I have no problem with this; I just want to see a little more appreciation for the marvelous characters introduced in the second installment, and a more satisfying conclusion to Thane and Jacob's rather poorly handled relationships.

*hugs braxy*  Noooo just go Alt Universe like I am.  Thane lives, gosh darn it, and he will be happy, even if I have to drag him kicking and screaming!

Well said!!  Thane was just...I can't even find the words.  So awful.  And poorly written.  And rushed.  And...ugh.

And we have a facebook group book too should you want to show your support there - it's in my sig!!

Lol they talk about romances and how if you romance 2 people, they call you out on cheating for MaleShep, but for FemShep (one of the guys romanced Traynor even though his FemShep was with Garrus) there is no 'choose between us' dialogue. I suppose it didn't really occur to them that FemShep was kind of not as focused on in ME3 than MaleShep was in the romance department

okay, had to take several breaks in the process, but managed to watch the whole thing.  

tired + glass of wine = not much coherent to say (sorry, ya'll), but i did notice that in an entire hour, not one of them so much as mentioned thane.  maybe thane is just not interesting to male gamers?  i don't really understand why not.  to me, he was the deepest character regardless of shep's gender/orientation.  come to think of it, maybe not - those who did not romance him maybe didn't notice his development.  i also noticed that they seemed to really appreciate jacob's story.

yeah, i caught all that about the one guy playing a femshep, and it is interesting that, as he pointed out, there was no confrontation between his femshep's love interests in me3.  you know, i've seen all the me3 trailers a bunch of times, and the best one was femshep reinstated.  they made a big deal about letting fans pick her design.  but when it comes down to it, i think both femshep and female gamers were neglected in this.  sometimes i feel like bioware was operating on some weird notion of what they think we wanted, without ever really finding out.  or maybe they were just thinking about what male gamers playing as femshep would want.

if that notion is true, it begs the question of why they didn't bother.  i have always been interested in research and statistics, and i keep wondering if any of their employees looked into what we want to see, and what conclusions they came to.  women gamers may not be the majority, but we are a significant minority, and as i have mentioned before, we have a lot of power in the gaming market as we are very frequently the wallet behind minor game purchases.  do they think women aren't interested in sci-fi or shooters?

serious question to those of you who played dragon age games - do you think the female gamers' preferences were taken into more consideration for the dragon age games?  i don't have an opinion there, as i didn't play them.  the fics appeal to me, but i really prefer sci-fi and shooters to fantasy-based games, but it wouldn't surprise me if they felt that women would be more interested in dragon age.

i really hope this is coherent; i'm just typing out my thoughts on the matter for anyone who may be interested.  i need to eat something, before i turn into pds.
