What I was saying is that having the choice to save Thane or not is really the option to be evil or not, which I don't think is a satisfactory response to this issue. It is possible that having to make a difficult moral choice to save Thane would work well, but I'm not sure what form that choice would take.

I don't think he would hate you, so much as he would raise an eyebrow that would somehow end up making you feel far worse than his hate ever would. >>;

I like the idea of a moral dilemma - preferably an ambiguous one - than I do just outright, "Okay, A or B."

Yes, the raised eyebrow...
Such a quiet, cruel reprimand. >>;
And I know how you feel, Moonshine. I'm eating my 's'getti right now, and working on some fanfiction.

I would suggest that having to make a decision to alter something that makes Thane what he is would be an adequate cost for being able to cure his disease, but something tells me that suggestion isn't going to go over well in this thread.

IccaRa, I feel more than adequately put down. D=
And it's not even a raised eyebrow ridge, it's a stare.

Thane is dying of a disease. For ME 3 he will probably be dead as a dodo. After all his character is from a game called 'Mass Effect', not a movie called 'Flatliners'

Lol, well this is a support thread
Bioware has always given us a choice. For them not to give us a choice for Thane would be beyond a disappointment. <_<

You get a choice where a choice makes sense. You get to save either Kaidan or Ashley, you don't get to decide that you want both to stick around. You get to decide how you respond to Sovereign attacking the Citadel, you don't get to tell Sovereign to go home without making any sacrifices. You only get to decide to save Thane if it is determined that such a thing is possible.

It would depend on what you're suggesting the cost to be, I suppose. But due to the nature of this thread, the idea of sacrificing something that is decidedly Thane would make a few people wary.
But yes, I also understand that this could be seen as a bit hypocritical, also due to the nature of this thread. We're asking for an optional cure; something that arguably makes up a significant part of his character. I believe the difference is that a hypothetical cure was hinted at in ME2. So while it is a part of him, it can be seen as a relatively minor part. On top of that, Thane is rather flippant and accepting of it. He does not make a big deal out of the fact that his days are numbered. If he does not let it make up a large part of him, than I don't see why we should either. Again, this statement can also be seen as hypocritical. But the logic, I think, is this: Thane does not see this as a major part as to why he is the way he is. We, as the players, understand this and appreciate it. But the difference comes down to this: Thane does not mind dying. We, the players, are understandably not fond of the idea.
As the old saying goes, dying is easy, living is hard.
I understand your concerns, Twitch, and I share them. (: I would be extremely disappointed if the cure was something easy to achieve, and without any contemplation.

That about sums it up then. Introduce a cure, but make it so it turns Thane into a mindless homicidal husk. That's a good compromise, right?
