Re: Kai Leng, the game seemed to have some kind of anime-like fight-scene obsession whenever he appeared, I have no idea why. I guess they put the extended Leng/Thane fight scene in it because it looked cool, but seriously. Someone needed to tell Thane to get out of the line of fire and force Leng onto the defensive by shooting at him while Thane and the Dalatrass got to cover, since one's a civilian and the other is in no shape to be fighting solo.

But then, my Shep was weirdly casual about Thane's wellbeing for most of the game, so :C

It's okay. We can be sad until April. The we shall rage across the internet, causing levels of destruction and chaos never seen before.

I'll get the rocket launchers ready!

If they say they're going to fix the LI's, do we do something else besides destroy stuff?

Control stuff or use space magic to jam the stuff together?

Hopefully we get quality cuddle time with Thane and the world will be all sunny and puppies will poop rainbows.

Why was Thane the only one fighting Kai-Leng? Why was Shepard and the others just standing uselessly with their guns drawn?

Yeah, this one really bothered me. Kai Leng was obviously a Cerberus agent. When Thane knocked him on the floor, I expected my Shepard, my Shepard's squadmates, and Thane to open fire. But nope, they just stand there. It's really, really pathetic that Bioware would let this be in the game. It's worse than cutscene stupidity. It's cutscene retardation.

Epic fail on bw's part.

Crappy graphics -- check
ruined ME2 romances -- check
shockingly rotten ending -- check check

Ok I'm going to have to agree with the check things. Bioware tried reeeeeaaaallllyyyy hard to ruin a lot of things in this game. Makes me wonder how hard it would have been to fix them...<_<

I can do without the puppies and rainbows. I just want the drell that makes me high when I kiss him and gives me a slight rash if I snuggle with him too long. And it's worth it.

Hmmmm, maybe waiting until the trilogy was over to do that flipping MP? Maybe tried to manage a little staff *retention* instead of critical exodus?

Listening to their fans instead of the "powers that fail be"?

Just my opinion.

Even if the disease was curable, the damage to his body was irreversible. So while you could've removed said disease, he still would've died on the same time table that he did due to the degradation of his vital systems.

[mnomaha]

Have you not played the games? There's a serious amount of space magic in ME2 and ME3. I don't think that it's too big of an ask...especially an OPTIONAL one.

[jamesb71486]

He was already dying in ME2, he told you "hey.. just so you know.. i'm sick and dying.. this will probably be my last mission", he even undergoes the whole "father-son reunion".. in ME3 he was near the end of his life.. he tells you that the last doctor he saw gave him 3 months to live 9 months prior..

I don't think you understand how deadly Kepral's Syndrome is to Drell or how it's caused.. It starts with your ability to breathe but slowly erodes the use of your other organs.. it can be treated to lessen the effects of the symptoms but it can't be cured.. and Thane was already in the final stages of it confined to a hospital not able to travel far because of his need for regular medication..

Hanar scientists are working to adapt drell physiology and genetics to prevent the disease from occuring in future generations but there isn't a cure once you have it at least as far as current Mass Effect lore knows..

I admit it would've been nice to save him or at least have that one mission where you guys travel off to do one last big mission together but I think I prefer the way that Thane went out.. it was either dying of a disease or spending his last moments doing something meaningful..

[mnomaha]

Nice that you prefer it that way.

We don't.

[jamesb71486]

So you'd prefer to find some random, unheard of cure for a disease that is written into the genetics of Drell caused by the environment that they eventually caused themselves to live in in the first place?

While we're at it.. let's add in a cure for the Quarian immune system or make Tuchanka a cleaner, healthier place to live for the Krogans. It's basically what your asking for with a straight out cure for the Kepral's Syndrome for the Drell after all.

So...either you haven't played the game or your Quarians and Geth didn't get along...

while we're at it lets cure the genophage, and death.... oh wait.

He could have had a lung transplant before the encounter with Leng and been able to survive the wound

No, my Quarians and Geths got along.. but there is no cure for the Quarian Immune system save for time.. the cure for the Kepral's syndrome? also time as Hanar Scientists are working on a genetic adaption for it but that would likely only effect drell children not those already afflicted with the disease.. especially not an advanced end-stage case such as Thane's..

Except in Thane's case it had probably spread beyond just his lungs.. he was in the end stages of it so it would've most likely required more than a simple lung transplant for him to be saved.. if it was that easy then the blood transfusion from Kolyat would've kept him alive for a bit longer too..

As far as the Genophage, that was a bio-engineered plague.. meaning that the cure could be reverse engineered by a smart enough individual (Mordin/Maelon) but it would take time to do so.

[mnomaha]

FFS. do you people even read the previous posts?

Made it clearer:


1) There was a shameful lack of romantic dialogue.
2) Barely any difference between a friendShep's dialogue and a romanceShep's.
3) Only one, Keprals/VS oriented dialogue with Thane before he died.
4) No shared mission with Thane. The side mission that really should have been his went to... Kasumi??
5) The fight with Kai-Leng was stupid (why was Shep+others just standing there? Why close the distance, Thane, when he had a sword?) Also, a bit nonsensical and pointless, he dies trying to save the Salarian councilor, an act that can be replaced by several other characters, and that has no strong connection to Thane.
6) The death scene was impersonal, the same for both friendShep and a romanceShep's.
7) After he died, no one save Kai-Leng mentioned Thane's name again. No chance for Shepard to mourn or talk about him with others, romanced or not.

[jamesb71486]

I'll agree to all of that but let's be honest..

Most "love interest" scenes in this game were crap to begin with unless they were in your active crew. Hell, Jacob cheats on you and gets another girl pregnant because he "couldn't wait forever".

He could barely run without it hurting him, a mission with him would've most likely been a 'defend Thane while he hacks the terminal' mission.

Again you're upset about Thane's romance path but his romance path is shared by nearly every other romance path.. only difference is that he dies.

Mordin stated that even with Maelon's data they were still possibly years away from curing the genophage. He was able to do it in what, six months? Shepard died and was brought back-the damage due to vacuum exposure would seem irreversible, more so than any damage that Keprals would do to Thane's body. Yet bw made it possible for Shep to be brought back.

Bioware dropped hints about possibly writing a cure for Thane-medigel for the lungs, Thane being a viable transplant candidate, the Hanar working on a cure, the "Cure Thane Krios" movement that they wholeheartedly supported.

It didn't have to be impossible to save Thane, Bioware just chose not give the option to do so. It's their game, they've done crazier things than curing a sick drell.
