He is the Da Vinci of killing! He was made out to be this sophisticated killing machine. Where was this when I was playing the game?!

Why isn't he constantly dropping out of vents and assassinating entire rooms?  Ima venture to guess it's because then he'd be more awesome than Shepard and the game just can't accomodate for that (as well as a conspicuous lack of ventilation passages that aren't in collector bases).  He really should have Kasumi's skills, but he is a bloody evil shot, regardless.  Drell Marksman + shredder ammo + some soft music = secks.

Might have to do with the fact Thane usually works with stealth on his side That and he usually works alone.
Assassinating targets and being in a squad on the battlefield are two very different things. He would have to change his style of fighting to accommodate.
That's just my opinion anyway:)

That was awesome when he quoted Thomas Hobbes.

I wish BW give Thane more philosophers to quote. I love that.

So....since we all know ( i guess ) that at one point when turning, breaking up with Thane, he mentiones vows, how would you feel if at one point in ME3, he would consider such a thing or propose such a thing? Would it be in his character,  would you find it too cheesy, too unreal...oh and before i finish, with him considering vows i don't really imagine some sort of white dress, blah blah blah wedding thing...more like something just between the two of them somewhere private...Sheps cabin, maybe.

Ok and now i'm babbling and probably sound weird while doing so.

You know, I've thought about that, too.  Part of me does see marrying him before he dies to be a bit cheesy, that it can come off as being too much of a wish fulfillment.  Another part of me thinks Shepard's loving him is enough and would rather  she (if believing he'll be reunited with Irikah in the afterlife) give him back to Irikah when the time comes.  The other part of me takes into account that while Thane has the balls to be the only male LI to say he's come to care for Shepard, and even uses the L word in subsequent break-up dialogue, his actions are dependent on Shepard's willingness to reciprocate... so that I think he wouldn't turn down the thought if Shepard brought it up -that it might actually mean a lot to him- and that something just between the two of them would be appropriate enough.   Some sort of symbolic exchange.

As for where, if she's ever able to take him to a desert, maybe there.

When it comes to video games, though, if they were to incorporate that into ME3, something similar would probably need to be available with the other LIs as well.  Or a DLC pack.  Of course I say that, but you can get it on with Jack before (and at the disqualification of ) the romance achievement on the way to the relay later in the game, which is certainly unique to that character, soooo who knows.  But that's what fanfics are for, right? :innocent:

Yes, Thane has the guts to flat out tell you...He cares for you *his eyes go flutter which is co cute*

I think after that, he seem watches Shepard's response to his confessions and let's her lead the way. XDDD

Just look at the romance scene *kissy kissy*


Oooh I could see them going to a desert and give vows but I only see this in wishful thinking and fanfics (Good old fans)

That is, if Shepard would bring that up. But what if he would? Considering that he also had the bulge to actually say that he's come to care for Shepard as you mentioned. Imho, it would suit his character as he seems like the type of person, yet on the other hand it would do seem like a bit of a cheesy move. Nice and sweet, but cheesy. Nah, don't mind me and my "Jack" like view on this matter....

I ♥ me some Jack.  No worries.  also... lolbulge:lol:


As for Thane (the Thane in my head, anyway), the way I took him coming to Shepard's quarters and the ensuing admission of shame doesn't necessarily stem from not wanting to die, but maybe more importantly from why he's no longer as accepting of death as he was in the Dantius Towers.

Thane strikes me as a spiritual and moral being who carries a lot of guilt around with him (by way of freelancing, batarian slaughering, his wife's death, and not being there for his son), and I think he's very careful of being selfish.  When he's first brought aboard, he'll assure you that, even though he's sick, he won't be a burden, and if you start down the route to breaking it off with him because you can't love a dying man, he'll say he doesn't want to be a burden, or he hopes it doesn't offend you if he keeps you in his heart.  He's very careful... considerate.

All things considered, he's experienced love, been married, had a child.  For at least 10 years, he shared a life with others... even if he was always "away on business."  Still, that's more than some people will experience (for my particular Thane-romancing Shepard, she had no other love interests and I'm going to guess that being the "Butcher of Torfan" didn't win her many meaningful relationships, either).  On top of that, he's gotten to do the things he wanted to do before he died - bring peace, love, and warm fuzzies to the galaxy, and he's spoken with his son.

He knows he should be good with this, that it should be enough, but he's come to realize that he wants more, and it likely shames him because he sees the want as selfish - or that he sees himself as wholly undeserving of furthered life and love.  So when he's in Shepard's cabin revealing this shame, he needs her to make the offer so he knows this is something she wants as well.  Thane?  Afraid to die?  Not likely.   In any case, if she wants him to live as much as he wants to live, then it's not entirely selfish, and therefor it's okay!

In much the same way, I think he might refrain from binding her to him or making vows to him, for fear of burdening her, or he'll punch some more tables until she makes the offer.  Or, maybe after having some time to be in a relationship with her, he'll actually feel more comfortable bringing it up because he'd have had time to have some conversations where he can pick up on how she might feel about that sort of thing.  But that is so hard to say because we're not given any post-Collector Base relationship-building dialogue.

haha and the llama's wearing ThaneShades!  (But seriously, has anyone modded those shades off yet?  The earrings I don't mind, even covering up the deliciousdrellchest I can tolerate, but I hate not being able to see Thane's eyes, I love his eyes.)

Hmm, I've thought about whether Shepard and Thane would go through some kind of ceremony or vows also, so you're not alone! 

In much the same way, I think he might refrain from binding her to him or making vows to him, for fear of burdening her, or he'll punch some more tables until she makes the offer. 

I think Thane just being Thane (even without the illness) would feel that way.  He's been alone most of his life, save for the time he spent with Irikah and Kolyat, but even then he was always 'away on business', most likely alone.  He certainly felt guilty at one point and perceived himself as a burden to Irikah and Kolyat and while I think that's behind him now, he most likely viewed his actions by marrying Irikah as selfish.

What right does a man who kills for a living have to fall in love, have a family and raise a son?

But he tells it like it is.  He does come right out and tell Shepard that he cares for her, even acknowledging that he's a bit confused by the whole thing since he's never been attracted to another species before, but for him it's 'Here's how I feel, I think you should know.'  Whether Shepard wants to make it public or keep it between the two of them, I think Thane would leave that up to her.  Kind of that old-fashioned 'A gentleman never asks a lady's age' mentality.  

And I'm sitting here imagining what a conversation with ME3 Thane would be like.

Yessss those eyes  I love his eyes because of how expressive and the way he blinks XDD

I bet it took him by surprise that someone would love him and he tried his best to keep them safe. Maybe trying to make up for not being there.

I think that's what made Irikah's death much more painful. He was always away and the fact that thorugh his failure for protecting her, he failed to be there for her. To tell her he loved her   Crap, it makes it more tragic. Poor Thane.

I have been thinking about Irikah. I bet you Kolyat acts more like her. I can see her being the opposite of Thane. I mean she was ready to take a bullet for a person she never knew. It shows maybe alittle bit reckless?  Or we can also interpet that she is just the person who likes to save people. I don't know but it is interesting to speculate.

If any one cares I've reposted the first chapter of my Miranda/Thane story.

Atonement

Summary: As the Collector threat looms ever larger and those she thought she
could trust turn their backs on her, Miranda finds solace in Thane's
company. His death seems inevitable, but the woman behind the Lazarus
Project won't let him go without a fight.

I wonder if there are any Irikah/Thane fics out there?

[RShara]

Hahahaha it was appropriate for the fic linked just before



Yes, there are a few Thane/Irikah ones. I have her in several flashbacky scenes in my own fics, and I'm pretty sure there are two or three more over on fanfiction.net

Thane needs to retain his badassery that he had in the trailers. I can totally see Thane dodging bullets like Anderson Silva dodges punches. His frog epilepsy should slow time down or something. Bullet time? Bah. THANE-time. \\\\\\\\m/

EDIT: 
If you were at the helm, what kinda skills would you give Thane so that he would be awesome like in the trailers? 

I would give him the ability to "mark" 3 targets and headshot them all in a split second that bypasses defences and takes a chunk out of their health. 

Another one would be, if he is behind cover and an enemy is close enough, he can duck out of cover, do his super-fast karate punches to knocks the guy out, use the KOed guy as a shield before he falls to the floor, pull out two pistols and shoot the 2 nearest guys in the head, stunning them, then quickly ducks back into cover all within a matter of seconds. And enemies in front of Thane during the whole thing, would be shooting at the Merc he just punched out.

And Thane described himself as a hands-on kind of guy. Maybe when he runs from cover to cover, he can do that Biotic Throw and summersault behind cover like he does in the Trailer at the 2:40 mark.

Maybe Thane can have a special Biotic Pull that lets him pull a single non-boss,non-mech enemy to hand-to-hand range and have him do a falcon punch that completely cleans its current armor and automatically kills it via neck twist if the target has no protection. Although this skill would have a long cool-down, think how effective this is vs a non-shielded Krogan. Downside of not using the skill properly would be having an enemy super-close to Thane that might or might not be a Krogan.

[cindalkitty]

I couldn't help it!

In any case, I feel much the same way about Samara as you seem to feel about Thane once he joins the group.  I really like her acquisition quest and the first time you meet her.  She's all biotic blizzam with a touch of Storm from the X-Men, and then she snaps someone's neck with her high-heeled boots.



Then TIM's all "YOU GO TO THE COLLECTOR VESSEL NOW AND LOOK AROUND, KAY?  IT'S NOT A TRAP.  RILLY"  So I took her in with me, and she was... exceptionally ordinary.  Just another biotic.

As for what I'd have them do to Thane... I'd like it if he had Kasumi's Shadow Strike ability instead of either warp or throw.  And give him the ability to use heavy pistols for closer-range precise shots.
