OK, here's my humble take on the Thane mission flowchart that includes Kolyat.

An FShep-specific choice I forgot to mention: if she decides to break up with Thane, he dies fighting Kai Leng as if he wasn't loyal.


I really love the chart and how it take previous choices into account and leads to different scenarios depending on those choices. We should have gotten something similar in the vanilla game instead of being railroaded into a single outcome regardless of how we interacted with Thane.

We need to fax this over to BioWare.

Thane was suppose to die and he did. I'm a huge Thane fan i'm just glad he didn't just die of Keepler's syndrom but instead played a role in saving the Counselor.

Coach, please read the first post. It explains in detail why he was NOT necessarily supposed to die, and why his role was NOT heroic or unique or even necessary.

Foxzz--totally agree. The fight was silly, and the tiny amount of screen time he had, especially for those of us who romanced him, was abysmal.

i read the flowchart and really liked it.very well thought :)
but the requirements to thane become normandy's crew are a bit too high don't you think? mainly the fact that only romanced femsheps get the chance to do it....give the brosheps and femsheps that preffered garrus some love too or you should scrap this ideia...i don't see Bioware paying Brian Bloom for banter and conversations that most saves wouldn't have a way to get it.

Wow, I did not know Thane's plot line was dropped that badly.

I was about to make him a romance option with my new femshep in ME 2, but after reading the OP's discussion, it was enlightening.

But I really doubt Bioware will actually fix this. They really did just drop the ball with all of the ME 2 characters, but I do feel for Thane fans. I loved all the ME 2 characters and even in Destroy ending, I romanced Jack with my maleShep and it was Traynor who held the name plate ... No clue WHY it was not Jack, but I guess ME 3 writers hated ME 2 writers.

Well the chances of getting him for a squadmate are nil anyway, so I just threw that in there as an easter egg, and wild crazy option :)
I figured there was a small chance of him at least joining the crucible team, but since none of the ME2 peeps got to be on the Normandy, there's no way Thane would. But let's stick the possibility on there just in case!

Well, Mordin and Legion did come to the Normandy. Another possible outcome of Thane "joining the Crucible" - he asks Shepard to transport him to Kahje to help with training of new drell fighters, so that he gets some time in the Life Support and maybe some dialogue with the crew.

Thanes death was a pivotal part for ME3. If you romanced him in 2, you know damn well hes dying....so yeah better off dying as a warrior than as an invalid.

In my playthrough with MShep, I also chose Destroy, and it was Kaidan who held the name plate. Even more strange.

I never romanced Thane, and I don't care about his romance, but I definitely want to see more of him in ME3. He was one of my favorite characters in 2.

Great stuff Shara, Looney and everyone else chipping in with their ideas. And Thanks to those that support. I too like the idea of Thane living/life extended/joining crew/ect....for anyone who meets certain criteria, not just a romanced Thane. My greedy little Man!Shep's want some quality time with their Brother-in-Arms, as much as my Siha's do. I can dream...........Zzzzzzzzz *shh....busy dreamin'*

It makes me miss the old days in ME2. Thane and all the crew, sitting around playing poker. Man, Grunt and Zaeed are sore losers. :( It was always Garrus and Thane at the end. Thane with his poker face, Garrus not letting his mandibles move...then Jack belches...*sniffs* The good ole days.

I would love to have some of my crew on my ship.

I was going for equal treatment for Thane in line with the ME2 crewmates, so since the others got to work on the Crucible, that's where I put Thane. Putting him on the Normandy was an easter egg that someone requested me to put in :) If there's any chance of him as acrewmate, I'll totally re-work the chart to reflect that :D :D

Honestly idk. Chris is known for his "evil" persona (and humour) isn't he?

At first I was a bit taken back and had a knee-jerk reaction, but then I read them again and I figured he was joking in his own sense of humour.

But then again I'm an optimist at heart so...

Attention fellow Thanemancers!

As a result of the popularity of the Romance DLC thread and polls on BSN and HTL, folks over at HTL have combined all the suggestions and made a new, more in depth survey.

It will only take 5 minutes of your time, unless you like to make comments, and we hope to get even more responses than on the BSN polls.

Results will be analyzed, summarized into a report, and sent to Bioware.

If you want to be heard on this issue, this is the best way to do it!
Please take the survey!

Please take the survey!

Done, this is a little something I wrote on Thane's extra comment section.
"The statement made by Bioware on how they would treat all love interests fairly was an outright lie. It is clear who the company pushed as canon romances for players. That added to the fact that femsheps only have two options, and that Thane's story was not the result of artistic integrity, but confessed negligence on behalf of the writing team. The arguement that "loved ones die, deal with it" is just uncaring and insulting. If people die or change (for no apparent reason) then why were those plot devices only implemented on female shepard's romance options? Reducing, and hurting, femgamer's experience as a whole."
I admit, it was done in a moment of passion. I would have been more careful with my choice of words otherwise, however this is how I feel.

Very well put, I like your choice of words very much.
