Dear men at Bioware,



Thank you for asking the women. That initial design... with the red thing... I... er. It looked like a rash. And his eyes made me think he wanted to eat my soul. Now, he is quite pretty. Kudos to whoever did the scales. They remind me of various reptiles that I have encountered and touched, thus giving me a surreal urge to pet him.

I think my fellow males here are in need of some lessons on the differences between men and women. The Bioware guys said it best in the Thane article, "For guys, give her blue skin and a great body."



There's much, much more to what women find attractive. Unfortunately, I only learned this when I became tied down and could no longer use the information to my advantage.

I didn't like Thane that much, because I am more interested in Garrus or Wrex. However, his design was perfect, even if his flashbacks were really creepy. His voice was absolutely perfect, in my opinion, and his outfit was good, too. They hit the nail on the head for the Gentleman Assassin look/voice, and I applaud them for that.

[Nostradamoose]

Ah yes, Women in videogames, we have dismissed that claim.

(Talking 'relationship' here, not merely getting laid.
I like to think that as long as my actions and decisions are guided by the awareness that
ultimately my partner does not owe me anything, specifically, she does not owe me to stay when
that's not what makes her happy, well, I'll be doing fine.

Now, you do know about the starting principle of getting more second glances than you'd know what to do with
when you take your best female friend to the mall, right? Anyone can comment if that still works, btw? )

On topic: I could not stand Thane's voice. It must have got to do with lack of resonance with my own
'natural frequency' or something. I steered clear of talking to him. On page 1 someone nailed it:
'Geeze! Could you please clear your throat or something before you speak already!??'

Nice job |D

I really like his design... he has style, but he's not clichee. And I love his voice, I could listen to him for hours (same goes for Garrus, I like the Turian "purr" in it).

Can't really think of any other LI for my FemSheps, because his story is amazingly tragic, yet not too sad. Since you know from the start that there's no real hope for the couple, it is not as bad as it could be... though I'll never get used to the thought if him dying on me :/

[Epantiras]

At first I thought Thane looked really bad, I thought "what the f*? He's supposed to be a LI!?" but I must admit his character design has grown on me while playing.

[DoomedMello]

I actually really love Thane. When I first started ME2 I barely knew about him, let alone expected myself to like him. For my first playthrough, I was pretty darn sure that I would go with Garrus, but, guess what? I went with Thane.

I don't see why there are so many different responses to him. Again, I think this is another example of the whole "Women think differently than men" idea. I mean, to quote the developers "With a man, you can make her blue and give her a great body, but women are harder than that".

I really liked nearly every aspect about Thane, minues his flashbacks, but that is purely because the lighting was crappy, and he pulled some rather unfortunate facial expressions. His personality and looks were both amazing, and I was pretty fond of his voice. That, and, compared to the other female LI's (Jacob/Kaidan/Liara/Garrus), he felt more "real" or emotional. That, and in the end, the romance didn't feel like a fling in the end.Let's just say that I'm happy I chose to go romance-less for ME1.

I find everything about Thane really creepy and when the love interest option popped up I thought "what the...? I've played it through twice now and even Jacob's growing on me more than Thane is. I wish there was an option for Shepard to punch him when he starts calling her by that pet name of his.

i just melt when he says that.*dawww* i wish there was a cuddle option.

Well hopefully they take input from more of the women for ME3. The LI choices in ME2 were (for me) terrible. I have no interest in an alien looking alien! (Garrus, Mordin, Thane) The only human we have an option of is Jacob *puke*. Women may have given input into making Thane more debonaire, but I bet nobody asked them if the acne all over Jabob's stubble line was disgusting or not.. most definitely a turn-off!

[MadameRavien]

I love Thane mainly because he's confident in a very quiet but powerful way, I mean, you just feel his 'presence', you know that people fear him, which is attractive in a very badass way.

He is also intelligent, mysterious, has a very interesting personality, and the voice. Once I fell in love with his character, I started to find the way he looks also very appealing. Well what can I say, he's one sexy beast.

[Felfenix]

I had REALLY high hopes for Thane and thought I'd love him, before the game came out. I thought he was going to be some moral-assassin, who only killed evil people or something, like a Batman, but that ended up being Garrus, and Thane was actually just a tool in denial.

As for the romance, he is basically using you as a substitute for his dead wife. I am not your dead wife, dude, stop calling me the pet name you used for her, and stop having flashbacks of her while we're making love! His romance is totally insulting and disturbing. It's sad, but in a pathetic crazy jerk kind of way, not a sensitive soul kind of way like I think they intended. Garrus came off as the sensitive one who really loves you.

I don't understand how anyone can find Thane cool or romantic. He looks a hell of a lot better than Garrus, yeah, but that's it. Thane is just alien eye candy with LSD skin. Overall, the whole romance with Thane is, IMO, taking advantage of an emotionally vulnerable dying man, preying on his loneliness and the nostalgia for his wife.

Then again, since people have mentioned her in this topic, I thought the Liara romance was terrible too. I had like one conversation with that girl, and she suddenly wants to give herself away to me? I felt like I was just the first person Liara encountered since she hit puberty, and it was purely rushed naivety on her part, thinking she loves the first attractive friend she's ever had. I felt like the Liara romance was just taking advantage of her. I understand why guys like the Liara romance, but I didn't really like the "taking advantage of someone emotionally vulnerable" romance that was Thane.

To bad he's dieing from hyperventilation every time you damn female gamers and your female Shepards wink or flash him. Maybe if you guys tried talking to him instead of using vents to get into his room he wouldn't have to carry a paper bag every where you craazy people.

>My face when you people won't get Thane in ME3 because you couldn't keep your hands off him in ME2 and the DLC

He was designed to be a love interest from the beginning. So I was just wondering what the ladys here on the social site think of em?

Personally, I like him. He's got a sort of intrigue about him, a dark vibe. And he's not bad on the eyes, either.
