This is relevant to me!

I plan on starting on the coloring as soon as I finish my Shepard for Hanar's banner.

But this update is just... spectacular. I love it so much!

That picture is amazing. I love it. It reminds me of a praying monk in a mountain. Just like Thane.

I have a huge goofy smile on my face. That's beautiful abnocte, just like sunbathing Thane...glorious!

If you haven't started I'm sending you the new version since I modified is arms and hands. I think they look more correct now.

@General Ashous & @disconnect7 thanks for the comments.

abnocte, your art is stunning. You capture him so beautifully and so well. Thane and Shepard really need to go on that desert vacation they talked about ... for the visuals alone. Shirtless!Thane ftw!

I hope they are listening.

I really like your ideas on how to cure Thane. He is just to wonderful of a character not to be in ME3. There is so much more they could do with him. I just don't think it would be fair that the other LI's get some kind of happy ending, and we get death and a funeral. I'd like to think that even though they gave him this disease that they never had any real intention on letting him die. 

Sometimes I ponder the idea that maybe they never had any real intnetion of letting him die from Kepral's, maybe they've had a plan set out for him all along to let him live somehow. It would be unfair if they just killed him off, without any player intervention, while all other LI's can continue to be by Shep's side.

Agreed. Mostly, I feel like there should be a choice with reasonable consequences. Shepard had the choice of who to save on Virmire and there was the choice to kill Wrex or convince him Shepard was doing the right thing by blowing up the base. Granted, none of these scenarios dealt with illness, but the point I'm making is that players at least had a choice to save these characters or not.

I just want Shepard to have an opportunity to help Thane in ME3. Whether it's convincing him to get the lung transplant, some other treatment, or a genuine cure. I don't want Thane's death to be forced on the player in a cheap attempt to make things more dramatic. There is more they can do with him by making other options available. It doesn't have to be an easy choice for Shepard .... I just want her to at least have a choice.

@Abnocte- You are most welcome, indeed.

@Juliaxo- Hmm, I see the point. Another Virmire scenario. That could pan out interestingly. Perhaps one squad member is in trouble and Thane is slowly choking. Therefore, a choice. Who do you save? Do you give Thane the cure or do you help the squad member and leave him to choke. Wow, that would be heart wrenching. I hope, if I were in that situation, they'd leave me to choke. I'd rather see a better man than I live. I'd rather give my life so someone healthy might live. Though I am healthy, to a degree but still, same principal.

I didn't really mean another save one squad member over the other scenario. I just mentioned it as an example of Shepard having a choice to save a squadmate. The consequence in that case was that the one you didn't save ended up dead.

I'm not advocating for the same scenario exactly. Just that if there is a way to save Thane or prolong his life there are consequences. Maybe like Saibh suggested getting the treatment would render him unable to fight because he'd need time to recover. Though, I'm selfish and would prefer a scenario where he could get better and still be able to fight alongside Shepard.

Well, considering Thane's story in ME2 does not revolve around getting himself cured or not, it's not in the same category as Virmire at all. Sure, there could be a Thane sidequest in ME3, but what would that do for the ultimate storyline? Wrex was a simple "yes or no" type deal that had an effect on the entire plot of the next game. Thane would be, what? "Hey, thanks for helping me out"? 

The point is that there were direct consequences for Virmire. I can't see any for curing or not curing Thane.

Oh I see. I apologise for my misinterpritation. Hmm, I suppose those would be reasonable consequences but like you, I too would like to see Thane cured and still fighting as he adds an air of sophistication to the battlefield and I need one of my right hand men fightiing beside me. However, if I were forced to give him up just to see him cured then I would cure him, though it would pain me to fight without him.

Y'know, before LotSB actually came out, I had this strange thought that if we let the Shadow Broker get away, we could get access to his information, some of which could drastically change the state of the galaxy. Somewhere along the line, I convinced myself that in ME3, we'll get a chance to 'help out' one race, but only one.

Would you use it to let the quarians leave their enviro-suits? Eradicate Kepral's Syndrome from the drell?

This probably won't happen (and let's not talk about my shaky 'science' behind it) but I wouldn't mind it if they did throw something like this at us--we get the chance to drastically alter a race, facing the consequences and having to take the heat from the other race(s).

That is beyond awesome, Hana! Great job!

Hanar you are amazing! I love it. If Bioware do not take notice of this then that would just be a crime against nature! Good job, well done and Thane will now live because of all the support he's got.

I'd love to answer, but... ^

edit: wait wait, using super highly evolved technology, is that supposed to be "what do you think his son would say?"

In which case, I don't know.  I will need to think about this more over tea.  Kolyat's appearance was just so brief and, well, we caught him at a bad time.   This makes it difficult for me to get a solid idea about him, though I love love love the way Iccara writes him.   Maybe he wouldn't say anything.  He'd just cross his arms and look surly.  Maybe glower and tear-up.

We would appreciate some rewording, Hainkpe. Must be that iPad. 

EDIT: I see Cindal got it. Well, I guess Kolyat would like Thane to live, but I'm not sure how he would talk to Thane about this. As Cindal said above, we never got to see Kolyat as he really is. For all we know, he might not have a problem living the rest of his lives without a parent. But that's not something I'm betting on. All I can say is Kolyat may actually play a role in Thane's treatment -- assuming it ever happens, of course.

Now that does make sense.  

As for the answer...I don't really know. We know next to nothing about Kolyat. The only side we ever saw was the bitter side over his father. I imagine he doesn't want Thane to die. I do think he'd encourage treatment, but I'm saying that in a generic way. I couldn't tell you how Kolyat would really feel.
