I want to thank you as well, Dusty, for coming here and talking to us. I have an exam on thursday and such bad news two days before that would make me unable to pass it. So, yeah, in some ways you really helped me.
I didn't feel offended by that zombie- Thane comment, though it actually made me realise that it is over and we lost everything.
So sweet and interesting character was wasted...
It also made me realise, that you, and here I mean BioWare, don't understand the problem here. Thane didn't have to die, there were several ways to save him, and that's why his inevitable death and content related to it will never make sense to most of the Thanemancers and people who simply liked Thane more than BioWare and other fans do. Can you imagine a woman in love, who doesn't even try to find a treatment/someone who can cure/help her partner?
Can you imagine a man in love, who knows that he could get a treatment for his illness (lung transplant for example), but ignores that and decides to just sit and wait for death, talking things like "It is a good end to a life" while entire galaxy is getting murdered by the Reapers?
Or, a father, who just started talking with his son afer years of absence, that decides to just leave him again, this time forever? Without even seeking a cure. Thane jumps on a sword, making a pathetic mistake for a cause that was never his (what does he have to do with the salarians?)
I assume the content we will get is some kind of memory or another letter, some kind of dream or even meeting a ghost of Thane (that would be so lame...). No matter how sweet and touching would that be, it still doesn't make sense at all. And I'd like to remind you all, that Thane had a wife. So across the sea, there is someone waiting for him already. There is nothing to look forward to. Everything is completely lost. On top of that, i find it hard to believe in afterlife, so there's either the love triangle with Irikah at the end of the journey or just nothing.
And though it was a CDN article, I think that a way to cure Thane was already discovered in ME Universe. It is called Eupulmos Device or the 'medi gel for lungs'. So no, Thane didn't have to die, and he died only because BioWare didn't care about their fans. What I don't understand is why you decided to be so stubborn? Citadel is clearly a fan- service DLC, you could at least make a way to let Thane survive the game, and let us headcanon the rest.
