More is always welcome Hainkpe. However I must flee to bed, to dream... of rainbow coloured drell and other pleasant things.

thanks for the links

I'm really not a very good artist and I'm very much ok with that!  I leave the drawing and art up the amazing people who are able to do that kind of thing.  But I do try, every now and then, and I've been trying for the Hanny Banner.  We'll see if you all can tell if it's Shepard or a Mooses patoot.

On that note ... 

Needs more Thane.

Sleep well.  And dream of bulbous women.

I do have to say, the article Chris wrote about the future is very interesting. Reflects my views on the world quite well, too.

Heh, when you see Shep looking like that, you wonder why Thane offered to join at all. It suggests he isn't a stranger to being treated rather abruptly and with insulting ignorance. It's also rather telling that he still believes in innocence at all. Perhaps the fact that he is a fond if absent father is the cause of that.

Finished the new DLC recently. While I loved the confirmation of Thane's feelings in his letter, the rest of it was just depressing. I've never cared for a video game character before like I care for Thane, and just because he's special to me, I feel Bioware is going to really screw me over. Wah, I need icecream.

Now, I understand the depression. Thane is near and dear to us all but, even though he wrote a letter for Shepard to see in the event of his death, doesn't mean he's going to die. We know he is dealing with an illness but until Bioware actually finishes ME3 and we know the true fate of our beloved Drell, then its all speculation.

I, for one, choose to speculate in a different direction than his utter demise.

1. No other love interest sends Shepard a love letter. (Yes, it is suppose to be read at his death but that's beside the point.)
2. He loves Shepard. Its a fact. HE LOVES HER! 

3. The medical report is bad but not terrible. There are options he had not chosen. Perhaps now that they have survived the mission and WHEN Shepard tells him, "I love you, Thane." He would reconsider.

4. He has a purpose, to protect his Siha. To be there with her in the coming darkness.

5. He needs physical activity and not isolate if he is to stay relatively healthy. Shepard is MORE than willing to help him with... physical activity not not be alone in isolation. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*

So, all we have is hope and a prayer. Really, we don't much more than Thane at this moment. We have no power or controll of the developers. But, some writer, whom ever that may be, put alot of work into Thane. Lovingly detailed character that he is. They would not invest so much time and money in him, he is in a lot of the promotional material for ME2, just so they could indescriminately kill him off.

I firmly believe, we will get the option to help Thane save himself. For those players who chose not to like Thane or help him, that is their choice and in my opinion they are missing out. He is lovely.

Have hope. Hope saves lives and hope, is the best thing we can do for our Thane.

I <3 Thane

Edited to add:

Its not a military pep talk but its a pep talk.

What a wonderful post. I agree with and loved everything you said.

Forgive me for asking. I'm annoying like that
I've spend a "solar year" trying to hear him say that. Don't know why I never hear him say that comment. *does a grumpy face*[/quote

I have never heard him say that. When and where does this happen.

[J4N3_M3]

EDIT: I give up with all those quotes.....the post is completely messed up so here my answer without quoting you guys xD 

it's during Samara's recruitment mission when you're in the eclipse base and meet niftu cal, the volus biotic god? if you use the paragon interrupt, Thane says this. It may depend who else is in the squad. I may have a video of that from my last playthrough though, just not uploaded yet ^.^ I'll check when i'm home.

When you meet the biotic god on Samara's recruitment mission, you have to Paragon him so he leaves (i.e. take the Paragon interrupt). As the crazy volus walks away, one of your two squadmates will comment, at which point Thane, if present, says that. However, it is rather random, since sometimes the other squadmate will comment instead, preventing Thane from saying anything. This is most likely because it has to do with who you select first from the squad selection screen. There's so much randomness involved, since your two squadmates are just as likely to comment at that moment.

Oh...I'm sorry.    My post wasn't directed at you, or even at any one person, just the question posed by SweetGirl. I wasn't at all trying to debate anything.

That's alright, it's just that I assumed you were addressing what I wrote (I didn't see anyone else use the word 'philosophy'). I've become rather weary about how to write on threads as some posters tend to misconstrue what people write (and after a while it gets rather tiresome trying to explain the 'obvious'), hence my need to clarify things when others don't appear to understand (also goes with the territory of studying philosophy I'm afraid). To me, Thane represents a particular perspective on the mind/body problem as well as the issue of moral responsibility (Mordin is also interesting on the moral side of things too).

If anyone could save Thane I would say Mordin can. Which raises a question for me if anyone fancies clearing this up for me. Regarding Kepral's syndrome: from what I can tell the condition impairs the lungs, they have an increased amount of fluid which I would assume would also impair the sufferer's ability to breath. How does Thane continue to operate the way he does given his condition?

My husband and I have a bone of contention when it comes to Thane's perspective.  Can I see Thane's and the drell beliefs as convenient?  I can.  And imagine how a society with such beliefs would operate.  From the cut drell codex entry : 

"Nearly all drell demonstrate tremendous loyalty to their famously reclusive saviors.  The intimacy of their relationship, expressed in a formal socio-political alliance called the Compact, also results in extremely close personal relations, in which some drell actually learn hanar soul names."

"While most drell reside on Kahje, some assist hanar off-world ...  eager to help their saviors. For a century, galactic wisdom has held that behind any high-ranking hanar hides a resourceful and fanatically-devoted drell."

The wording is interesting to me.  Fanatically devoted.  Tremendous loyalty.  Eager to help their saviors.  It makes me wonder just how this Compact works.

The simplest answer would be he's just that awesome.

I've actually seen a few good threads about Thane's illness and how the doctors are looking at it backwards. This was a pretty interesting read for me.

Needs more Thane.

It would be funny if only a romanced Thane ended up alive. Too bad for my MaleShep, though. He's totally best friends with Thane.

EDIT: That's a great one, Kai!
