Sorry Mayra, I know you're a Kaiden fan I'm just being a bitter jerk the first time I watched the scene where Shep oogles Kaiden's ass on youtube I was caught off guard, totally didn't expect that!
I don't remember seeing that.
Here you go-
Just skip to the end, you'll see where she oogles him.
@Mayra-Glad to hear, you're a good sport with us bitter Thane-mancers. Must be quite different jumping from one happy, gushing fanbase to one depressed, raging one!

It's a very weird feeling going from the Kaidan thread to this one. Everyone is happy there so I don't really go in there anymore because I feel more depressed than happy because of Thane. I feel more at home in this thread now. Seeing what happened to Thane on my main sheps playthrough which is loyal to Kaidan, kind of ruined everything for me including enjoying Kaidans romance. I just kept thinking about Thane and couldn't concentrate on anything else.
Hehe yeah I'm sure the Kaiden fans aren't too keen on the depression of all Thane lovers. You always have a place to go when you need to vent!
I'm sorry to hear that the disappointment of Thane's cameo spoiled your enjoyment of Kaiden's romance. What bw did to the ME2 romances really does suck, seems like the only way to completely enjoy a PT is if you don't care much about the ME2 squaddies at all, or are just indifferent to them. What happened with Thane completely ruined my game as well, I did enjoy certain parts before Thane's death but I was also excited about the game in general. I had no idea what bw had in store for me later.

I found it hard to enjoy my Garrus playthrough. I'm looking at everything that Garrus got in his romance as I'm playing and then I think about what they gave to Thane. It just made me very sad. Would it have been so hard to have a date with him on the citadel since he was alreadly there. I hated going to the hospital and seeing him just sitting at the window. It was really depressing.
Yes, seeing Thane sitting in the hospital resigned to the horrible fate bw forced on him is indeed depressing. I guess for us Thane lovers the game can never really make us happy. I've heard only good things about the Garrus romance. Even a non-romanced Shep goes on a little date with him, why couldn't we go off somewhere on the citadel with Thane?
Bw has no excuse for giving him so little content, I had thought maybe they just didn't want to put the effort in because they were going to have Thane die no matter what, but Shepard also dies no matter what (unless you count that one gasp of air in the destroy ending) so what really is their excuse for doing this to Thane? All we've gotten from them is a "dropped ball" comment...

And this is precisely why I can't finish the game or import another Shep. First, I can't seem to unsee what I've seen (though I have been able to finally go back and play some ME2...that's a good thing.),so in me3, it keeps coming up in my mind - the horrible dialogue, the image of Thane just sitting in that chair staring out the window, that 'Flowers in the Attic' make out scene......bah!.
Even my newbie m!Shep that I made (default doesn't even have Thane alive after ME2), it makes me ill going in to that damn hospital. All of my import m!Sheps thought of Thane as their brother. I wanted the choice to extend/cure Thanes life for them as well. So, I can't import them either. So there it is. I will let my displeasure be heard, hope for something better to come along (don't really think it'll happen, but....), and try and make myself and others laugh. It cuts the grief (which is turning into apathy) some.

At first I thought it might be easier if you did a non-import playthrough. You are correct. Even if Thane isn't there you still know what happened to him and it really doesn't make things any easier.
Yeah, game ruined for me as well. I have no desire to play *any* bioware game. Truth be told, I have no desire to game at all. If I do pick up another one, it will be from Bethesda or CDPR, Hell, I'd rather go with an old Capcom game right now.

I stupidly, have put all my gaming eggs in one basket. Literally have been playing nothing but bw games for the past few years....(only exception about 18 months ago, was doing a redo of Too Human, and playing a game of Ratchet and Clank....both very quick games).
They just ruined the game on so many levels I am still in awe at their sheer magnitude of "what were we thinking". I cannot think of a nicer term without being thrown a ban hammer. I have this meme up that rotates with my Thane's on my desktop that says, "Mass Effect 3 Endings: How to ruin 5 years of gaming in 5 minutes." It's true, I laugh at it but in reality it is so true it hurts. I romanced Thane on everyone of my play throughs, there is no way I can pull one up and just avoid him. Even if I wanted too I could do a default and he's just dead but I know, I still know and it doesn't make it better. There is no way I can replay this game, I never thought anything could suck so bad until I played this game.

I feel EXACTLY the same way. Every shepard I ever made romanced thane, and I can't imagine romancing anyone else. I just don't even know what to do with myself, I was expecting to be replaying ME3 like 20 billion times but it was so hard just to get through ONE playthrough..

I just remember being so excited for the game when it came out... I was looking forward to seeing the ending, seeing my Shepards holding their LI's before the final battle, and I couldn't wait to see all the familiar characters and wanting so badly to see what happens to them.
Now, I have to force myself to even click on the shortcut on my desktop. After I played the game once with my Thane-mace, I just don't want to even touch it anymore. They were so horrible to the ME2 characters, and even worse to the LI's. Even Garrus couldn't comfort me, and I ADORE Garrus. I'm just crushed that a series that I've loved SO much had to end so damn badly, to the point where I don't even want to play it anymore.

That's about how many times I played ME1 and ME2. I've only done one playthrough with ME3, and I"m trying to do another. I really wanted to be so excited about this game, but after I read those leaked files I just couldn't.
I want a Thane DLC too!!! Even if they did an ending DLC, it's not enough. One would actually have the will to make it to the ending. With this horrible botched romanced, I am in tears and wanting to curb stomp my game and this is BEFORE Thane dies. I cry just remembering the first meeting. If I can't make it past that, there is no hope that an ending DLC will make it better.

y u no lovers thane bioware? why? faceplant
Even if they fix the endings we are still the only ones who will suffer because our LI is dead. We don't get a happy ending at all. The only way a DLC will work is if they fix Thane's romance.
We are also the only ones who don't get to talk to our LI at the end of the game. I know Jacob still dumps you so you aren't really in a relationship with him anymore, but you can still talk to him. We can't talk to Thane at all.

Oh dear. You can still talk to Jacob? Jeez...
EDIT: On an... awkward note, this thread is close approaching 100 pages, just two hundred less than the main Thane thread. Maybe if the main thread had thousands of pages, Bioware wouldn't have done this to us...

Yep. Right after his mission, he appears in Huerta Memorial Hospital.
Oh no, I'm aware of that. That convo sucked- he talks to femShep like she totally should be supportive of his and Brynn's relationship and... *shakes head* I thought JECW meant that you could talk to Jacob during that QEC conversation.

I wasn't talking about Huerta Memorial. When you say goodbye to everyone at the end of the game. Thane is the only one you can't talk too.
