Below is a high level overview of what would have been my perfect ME3 experience…

Thane is an active crewmember aboard the Normandy and stays in Shepard’s quarters, where he belongs at this point in the storyline.

There are many opportunities for romantic dialogue and snogging throughout the course of the game.

His fight with Kai Leng ends in a minor flesh wound to which Shepard tenderly attends.

In the end Shepard can choose to bring Thane with her on the final mission to Earth.

They get separated when Shepard makes it to the transporter beam but Thane finds his way to her just before she has to make her final decision.

She chooses to end the Reapers once and for all (in my perfect ending that does NOT include killing EDI and the Geth).

Shepard destroys the power source with Thane by her side. There is no reason for him to leave her as he is already dying.

Cut scene to Reaper annihilation. 

Cut scene to Shepard/Thane as they embrace in one last kiss before Citadel explodes.

Mass Relays do NOT get destroyed.

Earth and galaxy are saved.

Cut scene to Normandy crew celebrating their victory but also saddened by their loss.

Cut scene showing the impact of the victory, and all your choices throughout the past 3 games, on all other races. (Insert Dragon Age style ending here.)

Credits roll

Stargazer scene, with obvious dialogue changes.

Pan to stars showing watermark style image of Shepard and Thane embracing…across the sea…

Fin

I'm okay with all that. BitterShep goes up in a ball of fury, ThaneShep could get a little kiss before they *both* go up in a ball of heroic flame.

[utaker1988]

I could live with that and it's still better than what we have now. You fixed the romance and the ending.

[Cosmochyck]

I could live with it too!
Argh! So many great fan solutions to the Thane problem - BW please read/listen!!

[mnomaha]

Pfft, We're probably the only character thread the mods aren't even looking at. So, either we are that well behaved (I could be persuaded to misbehave) or they just don't care.

[Lucky Thirteen]

I have to wonder where Thane gets time with Kolyat before he dies. you know, that other drell from ME2 that was the center of Thane's loyalty mission that it's well established he has been a **** father and is trying to straighten out.

Kolyat is the whole reason Thane is in a hospital on the Citadel you know.

[Eowyn77]

Glad you guys like it. I did think about a "Finding a Cure" mission, but in the end I decided that going out together in a blaze of glory had the most impact.

@ Lucky Thirteen
I hear what you are saying about his son. And I think we can add in a chance for him to see him one last time somewhere before the final mission.

My whole reason for writing this was because the entire Thane romance got discarded like an old pair of shoes, and I just couldn't accpet that.

[LolaLei]

That would have been sad but awesome!

[Confused-Shepard]

Loyalty + Romance = Cure Mission (He dies in the epilogue... peacefully in bed...with your Shepard)
Loyalty Only = What we got

[Eowyn77]

Not that I wouldn't want a cure mission, that would have been great. Only problem with that though is that it's not as dramatic.

[Reikilea]

Isnt that rather too cheesy and romantic..

No offence to thoose who romanced Thane, I loved him as a character, but this is too much.
Very very sweet.

Point - dont let us romance dying aliens. Unless they wanted tragical romance from the beginning. And I believe, thats exactly what they wanted. (Same as Miranda or Tali possible death).

[RShara]

I'd like a mission or at least some exploratory content that points in the direction of curing him. It's a very good overview. You should write it out in detail too

Edit:  Just because there's a cure doesn't mean they can't go out in a blaze

Cheesy? I don't think so. Romantic? Yes, very. But Thane is a very "romantic" character.

Thanks. =) I might try to do that. Turn it into more of a fanfic. Maybe it will help me feel better. Good point about the cure. Might even help make it that much more dramatic. You finally find a cure and he ends up dying anyway. *Takes mental note*

I thought Thane's end was a big surprise. I figured it must've been because I hadn't romanced him... but I found out later that the scenes with my non-romanced Thane were almost identical to a Shepard who'd romanced Thane. When I found that out, I thought Thane fans would've been pissed... but most of you are just sad and disappointed... which is worse. After all that enthusiastic, but polite pressure from fans to get Thane cured, not a word of it was heard.

In my view, I had Dr. Chakwas on my ship and she was more than enough Doctor to handle keeping Thane's progressive illness at a slow pace. All Shepard had to say was "I need you Thane." (And NOT the pitiable "I could get you a job. You sure? It'd be light work. No? Okay!") And he would've moved to the Normandy, right into her quarters. Thane's need to spend quality time with his son would've been solved easily by Kolyat visiting the Normandy, and Thane visiting with Kolyat when the Nomandy docked at the Citadel.

Also, Thane should've been available as a temporary squadmate for at least one long Thane-related mission and not as the meat shield for the Salarian councilor, either.

Oh we're pissed.  But we don't want to get in *too* much trouble so we're keeping it polite around here   You should see the chats, now....

I agree with everything you've said. Thanks for understanding our disappointment with Thane's romance. A lot of people seem to think his part in the game was well done and satisfying, which makes it a little harder to get our voices heard. We are all definitely pissed, but we must remain civil to a certain point on the boards, we don't want our threads locked! 

[mnomaha]

@RShara...chats?

Agreed!  And so well put!!  Why wasn't Thane in my quarters??  And why do I care about a Salarian councillor that isn't going to help me anyway?  (ok on my PT but still...)

[utaker1988]

And here comes the rage...that right there pissed me off. I was not asking him for bedroom olympics (really, I wasn't) nor was I asking him to follow me onto the battlefield. I know my Snoopy Shep was not to have seen the letter but regardless if she saw it before or after, he did write it. This right here is why I got mad about him choosing to stay at the hospital. "You awoke me, Shepard. My heart quickened its sluggish beat if only to remain at your side and protect you with everything that I am." Oh yeah, she's at war now and needs you more than ever and you are content to just sit in that chair staring out the window? I think not. Someone dropped the ball, it sucks on so many levels and nothing short of fixing it is going to make this game replayable for me.

[Emeraldfern]

@utaker1988 That's exactly my sentiment as well. My Shepard is staying in Life Support til' he is back. Period.

Off-topic/ @Rshara Chats? We have chats?

Modifié par Emeraldfern, 23 mars 2012 - 12:44 .

[mnomaha]

@utaker & Emi (Emeraldfern) Exactly! He is meant to be with me. Not surrounded by depression, chaos and sick people. He's not at the flipping hospital to watch over *edited* Alenko. He's a big boy and can take care of himself.

Yeah, I wanna know about the chats too *pouts*

[utaker1988]

Chats? You mean there are other ones? Ones not going on with myself and priding myself on always being right.

Very well said. I agree completely. I really hope BioWare are listening and that some of these issues can be rectified via DLC.

[mnomaha]

Oh no, I'm definitely pissed. I just don't want to get banned. Then I couldn't get my wonderful input (note signature) into all the other threads.

I agree with all of this.

I think we are all a mixture of pissed, sad, disappointed, depressed and down right hurt.

This is exactly how I feel. I don’t want some DLC with a thrown together “alternate ending”. If they don’t fix the
romances, I’m done.

This was so depressing for me. I kept going in there and just staring at the empty chair. I was actually up until 3am
this morning playing ME2 again. I wouldn’t go to bed until he was in that chair again.
