Is that really what Liara says.

Spoiler alert for those who haven't played Lair of the Shadow Broker...

I'm not sure about all the subtle differences that happen whether you perform the paragon interrupts or not. She kissed me when I comforted her at the end, and then we walked around the lair talking. She said something along the lines of "I miss you, but you have someone. You deserve to be happy right now. Maybe some day we'll be together." I remember that part -- made my brows raise. On the Normandy she brought up Thane and wished them happiness together.

I wasn't sure how to feel about it, lol. On the one hand I can see my Shep being with Liara as an old woman long after Thane has passed on, on the other hand I see her as a lonely old war hero without her soul-mate.

Ok. That sounds a little sad. Shepard will probably live longer than Thane thanks to Cerberus. I never really thought about what my Shepards would do without him. Maybe they would find someone else eventually like Thane found you or you found him. Maybe they would just be alone waiting for the day when they can see him again.

Shepard is a strong person. I can't see her "losing the will to live" when Thane dies, but I can see her as emotionally drained when the Mass Effect trilogy is complete. Putting together all she's been through and then adding to that the death of the man she loves, flying off into the stars never to be seen again -- waiting the day she can reunited with Thane "across the sea" seems fitting.



But again, I'm not one for conventional happy endings. If BioWare doesn't cure Thane, it's hard to see his relationship with Shepard coming to an end without tears.

[JECWSU]

There will only be tears if BioWare does his death justice. If they make Shepard act like it's nothing then that would upset me. Hopefully they give us an option to save him. Then he and Shepard can go on and live there lives together. When he eventually does die Shepard wont' loose the will to live. She might find someone else, she might not. It all depends on you as to what your Shepard would do.

On my first playthough, I romanced Garrus and during the suicide mission, when I didn't know how it would be done, he died as my tech specialist. I had a save beforehand, but I kept playing, just to see how it would end. All Shepard did was touch a coffin! And I discovered later that whoever dies, she just touches a coffin! Her lover just died, and that's all we got from it. So I sincerely hope they don't do something like that Thane. Shepard isn't some emotionless and perfectly stoic person. If her lover dies, then she would show it. She may be a hero, but she still hurts.

Of course, I loaded my save and managed to do it with only Mordin and Miranda dying, but I was so annoyed at that ending. On Dragon Age, there is loads more emotion than that. And that's coming from a mute hero!

Rant over, Bioware, please don't do that to Thane, I appreciate things won't be as easy as a cure, but at least have Thane's future have a bit of emotion in it!

[JECWSU]

I really didn't like the reaction she gave to the death of one of her crew during the suicide mission, and if it's your LI she really should have show some emotion. I'm not saying she should just completely fall apart, but some kind of emotion for the person that she loved would have been nice.

[Fiery Phoenix]

I'm sure if Thane does die, it won't be like that. Especially if it's a romanced Thane.

[General Ashous]

I can undertsand that. It does seem a little cold but I suppose you have to be until the jobs done. Then it's time to grieve. I think Thane won't be dying militart style but peacfully or dramatically, like running down a corridor and he suddenly begins to choke.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

I agree that it is necessary, but I don't think it's very good for the story. The reapers are out there, but her lover just died - and it was Garrus for me - she shouldn't fall apart, true. But she has emotions, and she gave a reaction to whoever died on Virmire, and there was always the locker scene in ME1. But I guess Bioware didn't have the resources to devise a new ending if a lover died during the suicide mission. I just didn't think it was great for the story. And looping this back to Thane, I hope they have an epic ending planned for him because even though I wish it could be otherwise, I suspect that he will pass away

Thane has a lot of love, he's a popular character. BioWare will do his death justice, I'm sure. As for how Shep reacts to the death of a crew member -- lover or not -- I was satisfied. In real life, it's hard for me to cry and I keep my emotions to myself most of the time. So I understood that Shepard needed to do that, and touching the coffin -- no matter who it was -- was very bittersweet. I can imagine she went up to her cabin and grieved in private, or she does something sentimental in memorial.



I always say that my Shep has nine names carved in the frame of her targeting visor, in memory of her unit on Akuze and of the person left behind on Virmire -- in this case, Alenko. On my very first playthrough of ME1 when I had to leave Ash behind, I remember getting very in-character about it. When my Shep stormed Ilos and drove a mako through a relay, all I could think was, "This is for you, Ash." Everyone grieves in their own way, hey?



*is a nerd* But still. ;P

[Hedgepath]

Ummmm, just to clarify - Hanar saved most Drell from their arid desert home planet of Rakhana by using ships to transport them to Hanar homeworld of Kahje. So....Tasha vas Nar Rayya meant Rakhana when posted "I am soooo glad that the hanar rescued Thane's ancestors from Kahje!" three days ago???? Thane's ancestors were saved from Rakhana's industrialized overpopulation - Just clarifying..........

[ravenimage]

An honest and irrelevant mistake. >.>

[ravenimage]

Out of the two of us, you're healthier. I'm a wreck when something sad happens to me, but damn the universe if I'm going to let my feelings show. I'll just hold it in until a nice tumor develops somewhere. ;>



Nerds are awesome, whether people or candy.

[Hedgepath]

ravenimage- Honest mistake, yes, I'm not perfect either. Irrelevant, no, sorry, can't agree to that. Thane is who he is, because of what happened to his people on Rakhana, and Kepral's Syndrome is a sad and unforeseen outcome of the Hanar relocation of the Drell to the wet, humid world of Kahje. So, irrelevant to not clarify Thane's home planet???..Can't agree with that - Thane would not have Kepral's, probably wouldn't have been trained as a skilled assassin, and subsequently wouldn't have met and fallen in love with Shep if circumstances had changed on Rakhana. Thane shared this with Shep, and as my soulmate, I outta be clear on how important that is to him, imo...........

What I meant was the error happened 3+ days ago and no longer holds any relevance to the conversation. I didn't mean to say Thane's homeworld is irrelevant.

 Now I want to replay ME2 just to hear Thane say that line. But I have such a perfect game on there...

[Hedgepath]

Thanks for clarification about timelines and relevant responses. Guess I'll go back to sidelines "read only" mode, as I cannot check this thread everyday, and will never be able to adhere to the "3 day+" timeline. I suspect each thread supports different timelines, as some go "way off topic", and/or r/t comfort levels of respondants. I was going to post my experiences with theories for Kepral cure based on the Med Research lab experience, for discussion, where I have been "hanging out" for the last 14 days, as I mentioned I would do awhile back in this thread and where I actually presented the theoretical "Kepral's syndrome " as a case study (last day in Labs is tomorrow). BUT that topic was last addressed about 14+ days ago, so suspect won't be relevant now, as has nothing to do with the "nerds" and "emotional response of Shep" conversation currently going on. I guess I could take the time to do something similar to the "3 degrees of Kevin Bacon" to get my topic reintroduced and relevant, but I'd rather not take that much time. So, I'll end with this relevant statement - We need Thane back in ME3!!!!

@Hedgepath

If I insulted you, I apologize. I saw your post correcting Tash in the wrong light and got defensive. My intention wasn't to chase you away from the thread or cause anyone discomfort, I have a way of jumping the gun sometimes. You are free to discuss whatever you want, whether in relevance to the subject at hand or not. Most of the time we goof off in between serious discussions anyway. Please dismiss my rudeness and let's start over.

A rare, green eye candy you say? I am... intrigued.

As am I now.
