Hahaha! Glad you guys liked the picture!

And I'm glad you like Thane. Feron and Kolyat seem to have stolen the show in the comments on my deviantART XD

All the comments above have made me think (which is quite an impressive feat, so congratulations ) in what ways are Thane and Zevran from DA  similar? With Zev, I ended up blaming his employers for his assassination. He feels little guilt for his contracts, and says himself that his employers are to blame for their deaths. Like Thane, I don't see Zevran as 'evil' and that he actively wants to take over the world *evil laugh* or anything. He is way too witty and mischevious to be your typical grim, evil assassin.

It may have already been thrown out there, but I'm just throwing it out there anyway
Your picture is mint by the way!

Zevran is simply the lamest person in Thedas. I tried to like him, but couldn't.

I preferred Alistair, but I did find Zevran quite sexy. Of course, he is very different from Thane in many regards, but the comments just reminded me of the same attitude they had towards assassinations.

They do have similar views, must confess. However, they both have different means of accomplishing their goal. Thane prefers to stick to the shadows, dart from shadow to shadow and then kill his target with either neck snap or point blank shot. Zevran seems to prefer armed thugs and ambushes, as we've seen in DA. In hand to hand combat, I think Thane would likely be the victor. He just knows how to pull off a great neck snap. If Zevran had a concealed knife, that'd change things. My favoured is Thane though. Thane is just so mysterious and spiritual.

Zevran is way more guiltless than Thane, imo. Thane admits he feel remorse, sometimes, but Zev finds no reason to. He asks Wynne what's the point of feeling guilt -- he'd just go insane. 

As a second thought, a major difference is that Zevran would totally hit on Thane, I think. And Shepard. And Kenneth and... hell, why not Grunt, too?

Zevran would have sex with anything with anything that moves. Including ugly Shepard *cringes*

Thane only likes femshep. Thane feels no guilt for his contracts too, it's the only way they don't go insane. Knives and swords aren't really used in Mass Effect so I am certain that Zevran would have the advantage there! Thane is certainly my favoured character though!



I will pose another question however: a snipe-off. Who will win? Garrus or Thane?

[ravenimage]

Ohhh, why do you make me choose?



I want to say Garrus only because Thane prefers personal, up-close kills anyway. Sniping seems like an "alternative" to him. As I recall however, Garrus used assault rifles and other heavy weapons in ME1, which leads me to believe he's only been using the sniper rifle the past two years. Thane's had extensive training since he was six.

Oh this is a hard one. Since I always took Garrus and Thane with me where ever I went. But I have to say, Thane. He pulled off shots that left me stunned. Garrus, now he's good for fighting, but Thane pulled me out of a few situations that I managed to get myself into.

Garrus is the BFF, Thane is the smexy God in tight leathers... did I just write that? LOL I guess I did.

I always took Garrus and Thane with me too! *High-Five!*
Because of his tactical genius I woud say Garrus. Sniping is a very tactical form of combat, you need the right position, vantage point, height, placement of shot etc. Thane does prefer close combat, leather clad close combat. *Ahem*

Despite my comments on this thread, I am more in love with Garrus than Thane. But Thane does rock my world, just more in a 'dammit man, you are ridiculously cool' kinda way. Sorry.

[General Ashous]

Same. I think Thane. Even Garrus admits he's good when he killed that merc in his recruitment mission.

[cindalkitty]

Garrus or Thane snipe off?

If I were to go by game mechanics, I'd say Thane due to his Drell Marksman weapon bonus, which is double Garrus' Turian Renegade weapon bonus.

Now, someone mentioned "close combat" as being Thane's preference; however, don't forget that Garrus mentions that he and that scout he blew off some steam with were the top ranked hand-to-hand specialists on the ship, so he hasn't necessarily been a trained sniper his entire military career. As well, when Thane mentions Irikah, he's clearly sniping someone... so it's not like sniping is an in-game-only talent of his.

Clearly, Garrus and Thane need to hold a tie breaker in Thane's quarters.

Thane headshotted a running merc with his Mantis while I was playing LOTSB earlier today. It was glorious.

I am loving the Garrus quote. The innuendo is hilarious, and questionable. The question is, who would have reach, and who would have flexibility?

Sorry, had to be said!  So they are both very good at hand to hand, and at sniping... EDI should set up a target practice for them both!

[ravenimage]

Thane. Thane definitely has more flexibility.

*High-Five* YES! I knew I liked you for a reason.  See, if it really came down to a choice between Garrus and Thane, a true and real choice. I don't think I could do it. I think their both God Like smexy men. Garrus is tall and awkward which is just plain adorable and Thane, well, just smexy as what every you will. Garrus is the best friend, Thane is the hot guy. I couldn't possibly choose. Although for the board, I favor Thane more. Its the leathers. Definatley.

Oh the potential of this! LOL My mind is in a flutter.

Garrus in leathers??? Hmm... *fantasizes for a long time* ah yes, I am typing a post... I romanced them both (separate playthroughs of course) and preferred Thane's romance scene. But I just like Garrus a tincy bit more dammit! He must have calibrated me good...
I do apologise for the large quantities of innuendo that appear to accompany my posts for those who have a more delicate constitution. 

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

There is nothing better than chocolate. Apart from Garrus or Thane and chocolate........

*Ahem* i had best keep such thoughts to myself

My ME1 playthroughs were both Kaidan romances. He's an alright character, I'm just quite an... 'adventurous woman.' I have romanced Thane twice and Garrus twice in ME2. It is really sweet when you tell Liara that you're with Garrus on LotSB. A touching conversation that one. I see we have similar tastes Hainkpe. We may have to duel for the love of our favourite characters...

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

Jealous! You have that flying camera don't you! I'm a sexbox user you see (I mean, xbox?) So now flycams for me. They are such a deliciously deadly duo aren't they? Chocolate....

Ok then Hainkpe, I challenge you to a fight over Thane or Garrus. *Wins*

Oh, I win! How about a rematch? *Wins* what do ya know? I won again!

Right then, you can tell I've been munching on one too many cookies.... Night night!

[ravenimage]

I saw nothing in Kaidan in ME. He wasn't my type -- I don't like men who can't tell me what they want. I guess that's why I love Thane so much. He says straight to your face that he cares about you, and in his letter he says very bluntly that he loves you. Thank you for not confusing the crap out of me, Thane.

I was with Liara in ME1. There was something compelling about her, lol. I might try a new play-through in ME2 where my Shep stays in love with her, but it'll be hard to do with Thane hanging around the Normandy.

Oh, and Garrus is definitely BFF. Garrus and Shep are the ideal vision of teamwork that can be accomplished between humans and turians, I think.

Love triangles are always fun, but I prefer them settled amicably. >.> That might be why I loved Liara, too. After we officially parted ways she said "Maybe some day we'll be together." Maybe it's an asari thing -- long lives lend a lot of patience. But I don't think my Shep could love anyone after Thane, even after he's long gone.
