What is there to look forward to in this DLC for a Thanemancer? It's only available post-coup which means Thane won't be alive.Some vague mention about him from other characters is not the same as content with the character we care about. This is the last DLC and it seems his character will still be an afterthought, like he was in the vanilla game. This is beyond disappointing.
Kolyat shows up. Hopefully there will be some really good content there.
I think the fact that they included him is a sign that they did not just toss Thane aside or don't care. I think they are trying to do right by Thanemancers. Otherwise, why bother to include him at all.
Having Kolyat there to possibly share stories with Shep/talk about Thane/whatever he is there for would be a nice gesture to acknowledge Thane's death in the game. But it only, potentially, sorts out the problem where Thane wasn't mentioned after his death... it doesn't solve anything that happened before, which is the problem for me. If I want to play the game again, having romanced Thane, I'll still have to tell him that I'm not at the hospital to visit him, but instead I am apparently there to see Kaidan. I'll also have to listen to him tell me that his disease is suddenly completely different to what he described in ME2. So while the DLC might fix post-coup, the shocking writing will still be there pre-coup.

While I ultimately agree, I think the problem is that Thanemancers dislike the ENTIRE thane romance in ME3. Its not so much about the death as it is about the terrible personality change, the fight scene, the lack of content, the totally apathetic death scene, etc. "You really changed my fathers life" doesn't mean much when the material in ME3 specifically shows Thane went back to his old self. The way the romance ended just didn't give a lot of room for meaningful development with Kolyat because they retconned all the development to begin with.
But willl just have to wait and see.
That's true. I'm not knowledgeable enough to debate whether or not pre-death scenes' stupidity would nullify a Thane memorial, but I can imagine a scenario where that would happen.

You can say all you want with his romance but you can't realy say he has a personality change.That's like saying his has a personality change from the first tiem you meet him in ME2 and the last scene of his romance.radishson wrote...

My main gripe was that nobody mentioned that Thane died even in an unromanced playthrough was really annoying to say the least. If you watch the trailer starting at 1:23 I'm pretty sure that's what that is. Commander Bailey is there, so is Valern, Kolyat, etc. The only reason I can think of those three people be in the same room is for some recognition of Thane.

dreman, I'll say again. I have written proof from Thane's writer in ME2 what romance Thane's attitude about dying was, which contradicts what he's like in ME3. Please stop with the repeat.
He DOES have a personality change in ME2 if romanced. That's the point we're trying to make. It is shown on screen. Thus, it's character development.
His attitude in ME3 has no development behind it. It's sudden, inexplicable, and unquestionable. This is bad writing.

To be honest, I am hoping that when you download the dlc, there is a file that fixes the meeting with Thane. I think it's kind of lame that you could really only have 1 conversation with him even though you can talk to the VS multiple times at the hospital.
I highly doubt that this dlc will have this, but at least it looks like they are including some Thane content in there. I'm anxious to see what comes in the dlc. Thankfully we won't have to wait long. If they do the Thane storyline justice, I might actually import my femShep who romanced him.

To put it simply - in ME2 it was a lung disease and in ME3 it was a blood disease.
The issue of his death was blood loss,.The body uses blood to carry oxygen to the rest of his body. His lung already are having a hard enough time oxydixing his blood. If there is suddenly less blood to bring oxygen to the body with his lungs already having a hard time oxydixing the blood, how can his body get enough oxygen?

In ME3, his cells can't carry oxygen properly.
That's the difference.
ME2 disease, organ transplants would extend his life. ME3 disease, he's screwed.

I'm genuinely curious about this, too - I never romanced Thane, but my John Shepard considered him a good friend and valuable crewmember, so I'd be a little disappointed if this funeral/memorial scene (if that's what that scene with Kolyat in the trailer was about) is restricted only to the FemSheps who romanced him or if MaleShep can't talk to Kolyat about Thane.
On the other hand, it would be pretty unfortunate if the only Romance-exclusive content was a few changed lines at a funeral. Even if Thane is not involved directly, I hope the content with Kolyat is equal to the content other LIs have. Everything about Thane in ME3 was already catered to the friends-only crowd.

Yeah, that would be great but I doubt it too. I hope that the DLC has something decent in it for Thane, but I'll not be playing it unless I'm told that that is the case!

I have asked you to stop with this line of discussion twice. I have been kind. You have not stopped as I have asked. I am reporting you.
All I asked was What else more can they do for a character that died?
As I explained to the moderator, your point was answered. Repeatedly. You refuse to let it go. You are not aiding in the discussion or allowing it to progress.
All I asked was What else more can they do for a character that died?
So basically, you are deliberately antagonizing people and deliberately missing the point so you can continue to do so.

That is just one line stating they were planning the character to go one way before a publication but they changed it to go another way.
Anything pre-publiaction that does not make it to the game is not counted to the story.
That like trying to say Grunt hates Mordin because of the dialogue a line they did not usefor the story.
And Thane did go througha depression, he was spending most of his time in his memeories. In fact the time we meet him he was about to let hims self be killed.
If aperson suddenly hears they were terminally ill, and that person later walked on perpose into traffic tring to get himself killed, you would not say that person was not depressed?
