No, I genuinely want to know how anybody could find that repulsive fish attractive. I cannot understand it.


Cannot or will not? If you just plain don't understand it then nothing anyone can say will convince you, nor does anyone owe you an explanation anyway. It's like asking why some people have favorite colors. They just do. It appeals to them. They are its target audience. But eh, I'll take the bait.

I happen to think Thane is downright sexy; he's got a hot voice, gravelly and masculine with a touch of honey that keeps it smooth and resonant. His speech is eloquent; to the point, but intelligent, introspective. He has a matured air to him. He carries himself with professional confidence, he's good at what he does and he does it well. He's efficient. He's quick.

His outfit? Awesome. I love the aesthetic, the contoured lines that highlight musculature and play along with the balance of his greater design -- he looks sleek, tight, coiled but at ease. And I like leather.

He's got smooth, speckled scales and exotic stripes as well as numerous textures that are just fascinating to observe. He has gorgeous lips and a charming smile as well as dark eyes that are fathomless and as friendly as they are alien. The interconnecting plates of his face and cranium are lovely artistic touches -- very elegant, almost sculpted, and I love how the pattern sweeps down his neck behind his collar. The balance is amazing -- the dark mark under his lip plays off the darker scale of his forehead (a "spiritual third eye" if you will) and the gradating sweep of his eyes. It's a perfect proportion. It's symmetry.

He's like a fine spice. Maybe you catch a whiff of it and you crinkle your nose at first because it's unusual and not something you've ever tried before, but it grows on you and suddenly it's a scent you can lose yourself in because it has memories and this heart-warming familiarity to it that draws you without compromising its exotic nature.


TL;DR: "He's the strong, sensitive, murdering type. Those are always good to have around. Great cuddler."

There is nothing I can say that will ever convert you or anyone else. No epiphany, no hanar hallelujah chorus revelation. You don't understand the attraction? Cool. I don't understand how you don't. Now we are even. ;)

Sometimes personality does make a big difference... gee I can't believe I just said that.



For example, I really don't care what Tali looks like under that suit, I want her really bad.

No, scratch that. He's a fish with skin colour that makes it look like somebody dumped flourescent paint on him with all the personality of a plank. There.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-alien. I find Garrus sexy! But Thane? Ew. No.

I'm no expert on exactly what makes a person attractive to most people, but I'd say the Thane is designed to be attractive for a Drell. He has full lips, his face is symmetrical, he doesn't have much in the way of visual defects, his body is well-proportioned and muscled, etc. He certainly was meant to look as appealing as possible given his racial attributes.

What's the point of this thread. Does it really matter he's attractive or not? Plus he's an alien, why does he HAVE TO appeal to human?

Drell are reptile.

So femshep choices are human, turkey and a croc ... and that is why Kelly is the only choice.

He has that troubled look, he prays to a fake deity, and he is quick and stuff.



I don't know what women like any way.

The Thane character (or Drell) were designed to be a bridge between human and completely alien (Garrus).

He's a cool character, except his little memory scenes are ..awkward.





(<3 Garrus why can't we talk to you more ?)

*rolleyes@angry one*



A) It has now been established that drell are reptile-like humanoids, NOT fish.

B) He actually has lips, nice lips.

C) Unlike Garrus, he can kiss and apparently quite well.

D) He has good tailoring.

E) He is intelligent, philosophical, sensitive and aesthetically pleasing (at least to some of us).



Mind you, I like Garrus too and came close to choosing him after that sparring dialogue. He just, unfortunately, does not have lips.



As for the bestiality thing, I mean please. You're talking about another sentient being - or do you find Asari & Krogan weird? *snort* I'm sure that Asari bartender in Eternity with a Krogan father would disagree with that opinion.

WHY hetero females don't have a normal romance with a nice normal man? Must not be handsome just not so ugly like Jakob. I really really miss Kaidan. :(



And I (!) don't want to date a fish or a lizard - but I don't care if others do so. But I still can't understand Bioware and I'm really pissed about the female romances.

Thane's appearance is based off that of a hooded cobra hence the side's of his face, I really can't see any resemblance to a fish in there but whatever I guess. I personally love Garrus but Thane is a great character he has a powerful personality that just warms you to him. Its a game you don't have to find the characters attractive to do the romances with them its just a bonus if you do and looks aren't everything.
