@James:
Thane was never "destined" to die. The writers in ME2 said they weren't sure where they were going to take the character.

In the leaked script, there were several options where Thane takes a bullet during the Coup, to stop Udina. In one of the options, he pulls off "A slick move" and stops Udina, and just looks "out of breath."

The writers for Thane admitted they "dropped the ball" in regards to his writing in ME3.

From LotSB, you see Thane is a candidate for a transplant but declined. It is not specified whether this is BEFORE or after romancing Shepard.

The doctor you talk to when you go to see Thane says that they had a problem with lack of drell blood for transfusion. Shepard offers to find some, and boom, Kolyat is there. Granted, he can't give ALL of his blood to Thane, but he should be able to donate a good bit. Certainly enough to buy enough time for Shepard to find more (fetch mission to Kahje?). I mean, you go fetching like, flags, and stuff. Wouldn't be any more ridiculous than that.

Thane's also the only ME2 squadmate that doesn't have at least some sort of sidemission, even a Running-Around-The-Citadel type mission.

What would make sense is that, if you romanced him in ME2, you have the OPTION to talk him in to a transplant. If he agrees, (and maybe if your Reputation is high enough) then he is strong enough to recover from the fight with Kai Leng. Strength of will, will to live makes a HUGE difference in survival odds. This isn't even a cure, but it's something that would extend him through ME 3, and leave the rest to......SPECULATION.

 It makes me sick and angry with the way Thane was treated. I've got so much running around in my head I hope everything comes across how it's intended and not a garbled mess. So here are my grievances..

Many of you here have said exactly what my thoughts are about how bw dropped the ball with Thane and how he's more than just Keprals Syndrome. I hope I don't get to repetitive with what has already been said.
His whole "role" in the game was just so lazy and definately not OUR Thane....sitting around the hospital waiting to die??  Since when is that Thane?
Then dying for no good reason?
"He went out like a hero!" no, that would be doing something that no one else could do *cough**Kirrahe**cough* 
The fact that it's written into the game that someone else could save the councilor negates the importance of the task. They gave him nothing to do that was Thane specific...seems lazy to me.

Death scene so horrible...you want to vomit. Wow Shepard..you're like a rock, no sadness or emotion for the man you just lost. No one cares that Thane is dead  why? why doesn't anyone care!!
You really want to punch someone in the face after that and you can't keep playing the game..at least not with your shepard that romanced Thane...and if you do play with any other romances you're like "what's this sh*t? what about Thane!"..you can't be satisfied with the others because you know how they screwed you over with the one that really mattered.

"You knew he was dying" ....and? You can't have an amazing romance with someone that's dying? we're all dying. I personally believed we would get the option to help cure him. I would in a heartbeat cure him. You're telling me Shepard wouldn't move heaven and earth to do everything she could to save the man she loved? This is Commander Shepard we're talking about. She would find a way or die trying. With all the stuff BW had hinted at there was no reason to doubt they would have a cure for him. 
I don't want him to die..does that make me crazy and stupid for having my shep love him? No it doesn't. If he has to die then at least make it important. Let the final moments you get to spend with him matter. Let Shepard treat him like he's the love of her life and not like some guy she met at a bar. Make me cry because she's lost someone that impacted her life in a way she never excpected, someone she relied on and someone she loved far beyond she ever thought possible and loved her the same way. If you're going to break my heart do it over something that's so epically moving that it reaches into my soul. That I can take. Don't break it out of bad writing and an abundance of laziness. And please don't you dare try to put anyone else in that Life Support room...that's Thane's room.

Ok.. DLC for the cure. Shouldn't be hard to work something out. isn't there scrapped ideas and stuff about a mission anyway or is that just rumors? I vote for some pre-game DLC where you can talk to your people before you go and turn yourself in (and wouldn't it be nice to see that scene where shepard gets stripped of her rank and stuff anyway?)  How about a nice conversation with Thane where you can discuss options with him? Tell him how you don't know what's going to happen with you but let him know you love him and want him to live. His son needs him and Shepard definately needs him. Mosey over to Mordin and ask him about his opinion...brilliant scientist that he is..he wouldn't be able to resist trying to figure that out as well..then when you meet him on Sur'Kesh ask him how it's going.. Then when you meet up with Thane (with better dialogue obviously) you can fix him <3 bring him onboard the normandy for chakwas to look after him as he recovers..bring kolyat on board too. Then Kirahee can save the councilor during the coup and everything is good. Thane recovers and lives with Shepard in the desert planet house she won in that death contest thing on Pinnacle Station in the first ME game...yeah she's going to need that back. 

[Yermogi]

If they can make multiple DLC's that impact game-play like the one where you get other squadmates as permanent members and where you can get secret bases, I'm pretty sure they can make one where Thane lives and can go back to his RIGHTFUL place in Life Support.... And also in Shepard's quarters... doing... stuff... >_>

I think it would be fair, if Thane dies the way he does it now, but Shepard should be able to convince him (maybe using his/her talk-jutsu) to go through the hinted lung transplant, if Thane was loyal. The same way that Grunt survives if he is loyal.

Femshep romancing Thane should be able to do it even easier, for obvious reasons.
I don't have anything against Thane being stabbed by KL the first time, but if Thane is loyal (which means Kolyat being there for him) the wound shouldn't be fatal.

My proposition:

Thane unloyal = dies after confrontation
Thane loyal ^ (MaleShep v Femshep not romancing him) = talk-jutsu test which can result in convincing him that he has plenty of reasons to live, his son being the primary one = death on operating table if not succeeded, successful lung transplant otherwise
Thane loyal && FShep romancing him = tis only a flesh wound, thou shall recieve youre Paramour achievement, beloved one!

And, as I mentioned, a rematch with Kai Leng would be appropriate, and veeeery satisfying to watch. Who wouldn't simply die for seeing Thane neck-snapping that joke of an assassin?

For sure some of the players would gladly sacrifice boss fight with Kai Leng just to see a fair fight between the two. And those who wouldnt would be free not to buy that DLC.

I find your logic compelling and rather perfect! Ten Points for Gryfindor... Or something. You get my meaning. 

Would totally vote for this.

@stysiaq

I like the idea of being able to save him from the wound he received via Kai Leng. Give us a quest to get him back up to speed, then watch him beat the bloody hell out of that moron. I'd trade any boss fight in the game to watch that, with popcorn and everything.

-

I believe the point a lot of us are trying to make is that we lack choice. We cannot influence Thane's fate like we are able to with a lot of other characters. It's frustrating and sad, especially when this is your character's romance.

There was TONS of foreshadowing that gave us a false sense of hope. Thane's attitude at the end of ME2 was probably the biggest one for me. It seemed like because of the relationship between him and my Shepard (as well as having Kolyat back in his life), made him actually want to live. You see the rage and helplessness there, when he slams his fist down on the desk and begins to cry.

Even if they felt his death was necessary, the interaction between him and a romantic Shepard is wrong in so many ways I don't even know where to start. Her lack of reaction, the lack of discussion about their relationship, the strange lack of dignity/respect that was present in Mass Effect 2. It's all glaringly absent.

All I ask, since this is an RPG-type game, is that we are given more choices. If I want to save Thane, get a better ending, etc. I should have that option and be able to work for it. If I have to kill 1,000 banshees in MP so be it. Thane is worth it.

This.  Being able to save Thane would give me  a reason to play the game, and I don't care how hard saving him would be, it would be worth it.  I'd also have a reason to buy DLC, buy merchandise and comics and tell everyone how awesome BioWare are.   CHOICES CHOICES CHOICES! it's what we need.

Hell yeah!  I've never even played MP before....ever!  And I would totally get my arse handed to me for days, if it meant I got good enough (eventually) to help Thane......have no idea how killing banshees would help, but dammit I'd do it!

@stysiaq - loving the ideas.  I say keep'em coming!

[stysiaq]

^^
Exactly. Right now we can only "choose" between him dying in ME2 or in ME3.
not my kind of choice.

I agree that Femshep should have had better romances, but seriously? Thane and Jacob? The guy whose wife is waiting for him across the sea and the guy that secretly wanted Miranda instead of you? (Or I guess anybody in a Cerberus uniform will do it for him, really.)

I think you guys should channel your energy somewhere more productive, like Vega romance DLC. Hell, Javik would be a better choice than these two losers.

Why are you posting on the main Thane thread and this one if you think he's a loser?

People were squeeing over the Thane poetry thing so I posted a way they could record it. I'm being helpful.

And I spoke poorly, I don't think Thane is a loser. But I do think he's a really bad choice for a romance. Are you going to share him with his wife when you all end up across the sea together? What if that's not HER idea of a happy afterlife?

The only thing I can say to that is:

If you died and your loved one was left behind... would you want them to be alone for the rest of their life?

Personally, I wouldn't.  I'd want them to find happiness again.

They are fantastic.  But I have a question about #4 - and I realize this is going to sound incredibly nitpicky, so bear with me - do you want the word "lover" on there?  Or would something else be better/stronger to show that he was more to Shep than a lover - he was her love.  It occurred to me simply because that was how that entire horrible hospital scene played out to me - that they were just a "fling" which was NOT how my Shep saw it at all!
Thoughts?  Just snipe me if I'm losing it.
