HAHAHAHAHA very cruel joke Shepard
Anyway, I just had this thought. Heck, I'm just doing "What ifs" because it's fun to see how everyone willl react and their answers.
Okay, here I go:
What if in ME3, that Shepard has to go alone to face a Reaper or Shepard figures out that in order to save the universe she has to sacifice herself?
So Shepard has to speak to the crew then she is about to leave and her LI (Thane here because this is a Thane Thread) comes to her.
What do you guys see in that scene between Shepard and Thane? (Also, to add Thane has been given somthing to prolong his life or cure it. Whatever you wish)

"We'll be meeting again... in heaven."
Actually, that sounds like a pretty tough scenario. I imagine Thane would try and persuade Shepard that HE should be the one doing this, since he's dying anyway and is ready to sacrifice himself for Shepard specifically and the galaxy as a whole.

haha I love Shepard's EvilFace™!
Good question.
Shepard actually says in ME2 (with the right dialogue choices) that she doesn't think she can love Thane now only to lose him later. To which Thane says, "When it is time, you will. Without death, how would we know the value of life."
I think Thane would make a case that he should be the one to do what needs to be done (should it be a sacrifice type deal). If Shepard insisted that it had to be her (which all of my Shepards would), I very much doubt Thane would let her go alone no matter how much she might fight him over the issue. He might use his illness as a possible reason should it still be a problem (hope springs eternal), but I think he'd outright tell Shepard that he loves her and he won't let her go alone.
I don't know which would be more appealing, for him to quietly say something like that, just very matter-of-fact like, or just a little wild-like, fraying at the edges like in the romance scene. He does both well.

Yeah, he does them both well. Awesome there for the voice actor *thumbs up*
I agree that he might try to persuade her to let him go with her or take her place (Yes, Shepard will decline).
Probably expect another fist on the table.

I would want Shepard to take him with her if she had to make that sacrifice. If it were Kaidan or Garrus I would want Shepard to convince them to live but Thane, I would want him there. Somehow, in that moment, he would understand what that kind of sacrifice would mean.
Do you think that 's where bioware is going? Shepard would die for humanity, for the galaxy?
I would be okay with that because, deep down, I think I would too. Actually, it makes me a little misty eyed. Because all that would matter would be now, her love for Thane, her relationships with her crew.
So is bioware telling a parable?
Okay that's deeper than I expected to go on a Friday.

That may be the Renegade ending, but the Paragon ending, I just don't see it happening.

renegade ending will more likely involve becoming a Reaper and ruling the Galaxy
and torturing turian councilor (i hope his fans will not be offended by my hypothesis)

I expect ME3 will have several different endings, along the same lines as Dragon Age: Origins, so the player can choose. I don't think Thane would let Shepard sacrifice himself if he is present when she makes the decision. Actually, I expect that scenario to end the same way like in DA:O, when you romance a certain character:
"I can't let you do this!"
"I'm not giving you a choice, siha."
Also, Thane's loyalty mission is seriously the best. Shepard just lied her ass off about being a Spectre to get Kelham to talk. Telling the Council to shove that title where the sun don't shine, but still abusing the hell out of it to get your way? Excellent!!

I would think paragon ending would be sacrificing self and renegade ruling the galaxy using the reapers.
Thinking something similiar to Dragon age.
OMG I think TIM's (Martin Sheen) is the voice for Midas! Just heard it on the radio.

LOL If it comes to that, I want my Shepard to go with him. He's not going alone.
It's the whole Samwise and Frodo scenario.

Why do I get this image of Thane banging on the glass as Shepard leaves on a shuttle to go do what she has to do?

I don't see Thane staying with Shepard in a renegade ending, unless it's poorly written. The Shepard I roll that romances Thane, saves the base, ends up being a bit pro- cerberus towards the end of the game, and Thane's comment to her seems pretty OOC . . Thane is a philosopher who doesn't question the morality of Shepard's decision on that? Uh . . . .
At the same time, Kaidan gets to leave Shep behind on Horizon because he's sticking to his principles . .Anyway, I hope there are fewer OOC moments in ME3 with these two characters.

I think every character reacts in an odd way, when the best is saved. I feel it likely wont matter much how anyone other than Shepard feels, and no romance will be precluded by the choice. I would like something more sophisticated, though.

Heyy fellow thane-lovers, just wanted to contribute a wallpaper i found of our sexy assassin 
(which you may or may not have seen already)

-sigh- I'd totally smother bioware and thane with love if they do at least keep him alive for ME3

i don't think they can be compared in this matter. Kaidan is much more Paragonish guy, so he acts accordingly. Though Thane's reaction to keeping the base is really off.

Oh, I think Kaidan and Thane are very similar . . . could be why I love both characters so much. Kaidan is more of a lawful-good type, while Thane is a Chaotic-Good.
Regardless, I'm with Radahldo . . . wish they would have characters act accordingly, not based on Shepard as if Shepard is the end-all to every decision. Good work with Dragon Age . . . .

What's his reaction? I've always destroyed the base in my playthroughs. As far as I remember, he tells Shepard not to keep it.

Oh lawdy. I don't know if I could take another Dragon Age ending. Not to be a little black raincloud, but I also don't know if Mass Effect could pull it off in a way that would make it worthwhile.
The kicker for me here is that Shepard's already died, and Shepard has the ability to not survive the destruction of the Collector's base, so... I wonder if Shepard will even be necessary in ME3. In any case, one of my Shepards is not terribly OK with being brought back to life, but even still... I feel that the fact that it's happened once already takes away from some of the bravery/fear that would go into the decision and worrying about things left undone or unsaid and such. From one of the romance-only conversation options with Thane, Shepard acknowledges that, after being dead for two years, each moment now seems irreplaceable. If she sacrifices herself, I think it might be a little easier for her - and easy just isn't as immersive!
The cynic in me says that if it came to an Ultimate Sacrifice moment, the decision won't take LIs into account, but if it did, I think Thane would respect her decision (assuming it's a planned course of action, and not a spur of the moment revelation)... until the last minute, at least, then tables everywhere better hide. As for a friend or LI dying with you, even DA didn't tackle that. I think only Jack and Thane are slowly dying, so that also cuts out a reason for the other LIs to die with you. Unless there's some really odd plot twist.
It would need to be morally challenging. Sac yourself (meh), sac one of your teammates (*CACKLE*), or BECOME THE REEPUR. I mean, Harbinger wanted Shep's body pretty badly. There must be some plan. I just hope it's not facepalm inducing.
Good afternoon, Thane lovers!

i think i meant that keeping the base is obviously a renegade act in his eyes and, well, he should've been more opposed to it...um... now i'm not really sure what i meant
come to think of it, all the squaddies have strange reactions. but who can argue with Shepard The Great

Well, that's the problem with ME vs. DA . . Cindalkitty is right, ME wouldn't be able to pull it off, but we do play as Shepard the Great after all, LOL . . . .
If Shepard was so great, every Shepard would be romancing Thane . . . or having an incredibly difficult time not doing so *innocent look*

whole ME3 will be a giant facepalm.Shepard will just fly around the galaxy and command everything with the power of his/her mighty personality: 'you, give me an army! you there, give me ships! all the rest will cook food for me, Shepard the Great! Krios, captain's quarters for snuggles, NOW!'

I was talking with my hubby about Shepard raising an army for ME3 and I don't think she will. I think she/council/alliance/someone will have to get to the reapers while they are in dark space. I mean look at the fire power it took to destroy sovereign and there were hundreds if not thousands of reapers in dark space during that final shot at the end of the game.
Some sneaky sneakiness will have to go on to get them. I am not ruling out a big fight just, I don't think that is what will ultimately win the day, it will help but it will have to be something in addition.
