Still can't believe that Thane has no extra dialogue in LOTSB when it's due to him that his wife is dead. Still, only know through the internet.

That was a bit dissapointing. I would have liked to have heard him say something about it. I guess that would have been to much work.

I understand that getting all sorts of VAs back for a DLC is always extremely unlikely.  But I still wished it would've been addressed.  Perhaps when Liara asked about Thane on the Normandy.  Shepard could've said something like, "...and when you brought down the smack on the Shadow Broker, Thane was all, "lol pwned"".

Or, ya know, something along those lines.

Indeed. I would have expected him to have had something to say and would have loved for him to creep up behinf the Shadow Broker and break his neck or even shoot him in the back for what he did with some very cool line to accompany that. Still, you can't always get what you wish for can you? Unless you were wishing for Thane, like I, and in which case we were very, very happy indeed.

That would have been fun to watch, but I guess it was up to Liara to kill him. Like you said we can't have everything. The only thing I wish for is for Thane to be in ME3. Not dead and not some random cameo. I want him alive with a decent role hopefully. I don't think that's to much to ask for. 

[General Ashous]

Without a doubt. Thane must return in ME3. Where will we all be without him? Not necceseraly as Thane has had a longer quarrel with the Shadow Broker as his wife was dead before Liara and Feron. Still, I can see why it was done. It would have been most satisfying to see Thane have the last shot. Still, my main theory as to why Bioware didn't let him kill him is because he has reformed and so likely didn't want to risk showing a darker and less sophisticated Thane. Would have been nice though.

Right, Kepler's aside and I'm back until it comes back and beats me next time. I think that song deffiently fits with Thane. What's the name of it? I've heard it around but I've never learnt the name. I thinl Thane would appreciate it. It seems to scream to me that it belongs when he meets Irikah. Still can't believe that Thane has no extra dialogue in LOTSB when it's due to him that his wife is dead. Still, only know through the internet.

If you're referring to the song I posted, it's called The Reason. And yes, it's unfortunate how Thane didn't say anything to the Shadow Failure.

That's true. I do wonder if Thane ever tried to find the Shadow Broker himself and couldn't. Liara never would have found him with out Shepards help, and Shepard got the information from Cerberus. Maybe Thane never held the Shadow Borker directly responsible for his wifes death because he never actually laid a hand on her. I guess it's just one of those things we may never know.

[General Ashous]

Fiery Phoenix you are marvelous. Thank you. That is very true, he may not have held him personally responsible. I think he may not have tried to find him as he would think it nigh impossible. I hope we do find out. What I'm now wondering is how TIM got a hold of that data. I think Thane would likely have only killed the slavers due to the fact that the Shadow Broker was elusive and, potentially a useful source in the future. However, I'm thinking he may just have been waiting until the right moment.

It's possible, but he said he went after the ring leaders, who were unlikely to have gotten their own hands dirty either.

Even though the Shadow Broker only gave them his name, he still set the wheels in motion. Whether or not Thane held him responsible, even indirectly, will probably remain a mystery.

How can you look at this innocent face and NOT get mad at the Shadow Broker and those batarians?

[General Ashous]

Now I'm very mad at the batarians. She is beautiful, very beautiful. I feel for Thane's loss. Who couldn't find that pace adorable.

I agree that the Shadow Broker set this thing in motion. He had to know that they weren't looking for Thane just to simply have a talk with him. Of course he wouldn't care though.

What I can't believe is that the batarians thought they would get away with this. I guess they thought Thane wouldn't come after them.

They are dumb.

But no seriously, he said that he took their leader out probably someone they respected and looked up to. What finer revenge is there then to take away someone Thane loved in retribution?

Eye for eye thing if you look at it.

Also, maybe they thought he would be too distraught to go after them or if he did, he would be easier to kill because of his sadness and rage.

They probably did think he would be so distraught that he wouldn't come after them. Like you said if he did come after them he would be so grief stricken and make a mistake and they could easily kill him. Clearly they were wrong.

Unfortunately not; I've never been so good drawing. It was done by this person.

Actually...

If Irikah didn't die, and Thane still was an assassin - most likely, I'd say - perhaps he might have joined your squad, but not gratis. My opinion is, with fee met, he'd have even more motive to help the mission, to protect his family from the Reapers. The romance, though, would be out. I can't see Thane ever cheating on Irikah while she still lived.

I really don't see Thane doing anything else. If he didn't decide to learn a different trade when he married Irikah, I seriously doubt he'd change now that it's gone, and if he romanced Shepard, his skills and experience come very handy. Perhaps he might become a security consultant, but I'd imagine he'd find it hard adapting to a different way of life. It's not like he has many memories of normal family life to draw on. Well, this is my opinion. I could be dead wrong.

I mostly agree.  I think Thane would have joined the squad, even if Irikah had lived.  I see him wanting to protect his family, to provide a bright future for Kolyat.  I don't see romance as even a remote possibility in that case. Thane doesn't toss his affection around lightly, he's all about commitment (huh, I just actually came to an interesting realization regarding that) and I don't see him even hinting at anything deeper than friendship between himself and Shepard.

I wonder if Thane tried to be a door-to-door vacuum salesman.  I can see him as a security consultant, but certainly it's not as sexy as being an assassin nor would it require him to wear such a snazzy outfit.

[Fiery Phoenix]

Basically, he would have joined the squad, but for different reasons, right?

[Nonsense4]

Yep. He would still have been awesome, and most of my FemSheps would stay loyal to Kaidan. *sigh*



Thane's character is really too good to be true. He's an assassin, yet a genuinely good guy with good motives and morals. If anyone like him came up to me in real life, I'd run like hell, but I adore his video game charm.

[Fiery Phoenix]

Actually, people with Thane's personality do exist in real life. Not that they're a whole lot, but they're there, most notably in traditional Japan.

[TheSweetGirl]

(Sorry, I don't know why am I attracted to these calm, collected individuals like Thane Weee XD)



Whoa! You guys are awesome with that question and I agree with all of you. If Irikah was still alive, he will want to protect his family from the Reapers and yes, no romance but hearing him talk about his wife and son would be nice. Then we would probably have a loyalty mission that was different or slightly different. Maybe Irikah would have called Thane and told him how Koylat has gone to teh Citadel and is trying to follow his footsteps. That whole conversation with him and Koylat wuld have gone differently.

[Nonsense4]

@FieryPhoenix7



I'm never going to Japan! Never never never! (kidding)



@TheSweetGirl



I like Thane's calm, collectedness too. The bit I find hard to reconcile (and would find impossible to reconcile in real life) is how he can rationalise killing. ME is a shooter, really, with lots of dialogue, so he can't really be any other way, I understand that. I don't know... I think I'm just nitpicking now.



It would have been nice to hear Thane talking about Irikah. Sort of like what the Mansheps had with Kasumi and Samara - a likable character that was completely off-limits. It would have been a mindblowingly awesome loyalty mission if Thane somehow received warning that there would be a retaliatory strike on his family and he got Shep to help him save them, then Irikah and Kolyat both could have a cameo. Then we could get a nice smoochy scene afterward with Thane and Irikah... I'm just getting sentimental now.
