Oh, I agree. If characters are to be holed as "emo" in Jacob vs. Thane -- Jacob takes the cake. And after hearing all our opinions, Thane is actually... normal. If you think about it. He's the least irritating person on the Normandy, if you don't count Garrus and Tali.

[Hedgepath]

I agree, Garrus is so NOT irritating, he is my FemShep's "big brother" like guy, if Tali is my BFF. I do however, think Legion is non-irritating too. The mystery, uniqueness and willingness to look out for Shep, has me "intrigued"..........

[ravenimage]

Legion is great. I have a bit of a crush on him. If synthetics could feel love, he'd make a great LI... lol.

[Collider]

I do really like that about Thane. He's a pretty chill guy.

[Hedgepath]

Interesting thought, I always imagine him as my "guardian", if Thane isn't around. And I don't mean, not around as dead, because he IS going to be in ME3 I mean, if I was on a mission to a humid world, or Joab (which Thane can't go to, because of atmospheric pressure), I'd take Legion and Garrus vs Thane & Garrus. Legion with emotions, hmmmmmmm, he already has a "thing" for Shep (whatever a synthetic thing is, he's got one). AND, despite what some folks have written in other threads, I don't agree that it's just out of "respect", that he wears a piece of Shep's armor, I'm just sayin'.......

[ravenimage]

Well, observing the facts -- Legion's a gamer, he plays FPS games based on N7 Marines, Shepard is a former N7 marine who battled the heretics -- I think he has a bit of a hero worship for him / her, similar to Garrus in ME1. He isn't like the other platforms, after all. He seems to possess more emotion than other geth.



It's a shame you have to wait till the end of the game to get him as a companion, unless you modify your game with the save editor. If not for that, he'd be a primary squadmate besides Thane. I usually just take Thane and Kasumi, as they complement my infiltrator perfectly and... well, we all look good in black leather -- lol.

[Hedgepath]

Hero worship, yeah that works for me. Fits profile of unique platform, learning from the human who fought Sovereign and helped him/them with heretics. I would have liked to have recruited him earlier, as you said, He'd be better than Jacob on missions (there I go again), and his comments would have been surprising, I bet. But then, I couldn't have taken Garrus and Thane with me, so it would have made for tougher squadmate decisions.



Played as Infltrator 3 times, Sentinel 4, Vanguard mostly. Once as soldier, didn't like that at all, so never again. Twice as Engineer, not to thrilled with that either. Never Adept.........



Yeah, we all do look good in leather, except for that stupid lbd in Kasumi loyalty mission, don't get me started - I already have a thread going about that. My favorite outfit is a free download project of a black leather pants/tunic uni, with purple highlights. Matches my FemShep's violet eyes, But, I digress.....

[ravenimage]

Whoa, whoa, what free download project is this? I am... intrigued.

But yeah, I can't play anything other than infiltrator. Everyone and their mom is a biotic in ME2, so I didn't see it as necessary for my Shep to be one as well.

Sorry, it's a TexMod download, under the "Projects" tab. I'll look up the project creator's name. My other fav is the "Black & Red Loyalty outfits". Thane in black and red leather is totally HOT....(pause to fantasize).

There is also a download TexMod where he is in black & white leather with gold highlights. (and I'm not talking the BW "pay for this" DLC). Sunnie has one where Shep's cabin has paperwork, wooden headboard and b&w bedspread. Demonslayer and Strudelmann have TexMod outfits that allow Shep to wear some really sexy outfits (sensible sexy, not ****ty sexy like the Asari dancers) in addition to Asari long dresses in various colors. So, she looks awesome when Thane is with her in her cabin. I'll get details for you over the holiday, unless others respond w\\info. Gotta get to bed. Early Turkey Day tasks to do..........

 Bahahaha. Brilliant.

I'm sure there was some marketing value behind Thane's attire / personality -- just like there was for Miranda and her compellingly revealing outfit. Thane was, after all, designed for attracting female players (congratulations, BioWare -- you've succeeded). So yes, it's there in some part to grab your attention, but it amazes me when those people act jealous over an NPC. 

Of course, it doesn't help when all the ladies fawn over Thane and all those poor real boys can't compare. ;P

Of course it worked. He looks good in that outfit. The person who wrote that Thane was looking for attention by wearing that wasn't talking about our attention. They meant from female characters in the game. That includes Shepard. They said he just wanted Shepard and every other female in the game to notice him that's why he walks around looking like that. This was before LotSB so they brought up how his chest and back are exposed. It was just so ridiculous. They basically made it sound like he is wearing that outfit to pick up women. Anyone who has talked to Thane knows that isn't true. I'm sure if he wanted to he would have had no problem finding any random woman to pick up. He mourned his wife for ten years. He didn't find love again until ten years later. If this person had been talking about attracting female gamers I wouldn't have thought it was such strange thing to say, because as you said he was designed to attract female players.

Happy Thane-ksgiving, everyone!    *facepalms at my own lame joke*

Bahaha. Don't worry, fair Kolyat, you'll get your sweet lovin' eventually.

...woops, did I say that out loud? *cough* Happy Thane-skgiving, Tentura and Thane-lovers. Thanks, BioWare for the sexiest malien and best RPG games ever.

It's Thane-skiving?! (I'm from England, so I do apologise for my ignorance

@ Hedgepath - don't worry about it! Always glad to have people posting here! And Raven, I love biotic powers! I think the ragdoll effects are hilarious at times, and a shockwave/throw teamed with reave and Thane's warp = biotic heaven!

Love Kolyats facepalm And referring to Legion, he has to be in ME3 just to discover his obsession with Shepard!!!! He says that he was a specifically designed geth that was intended to be sent into the terminus systems and interact with sentient life form. But we all know that geth are totally sentient.

Raven.... Do you have a thing for Kolyat

[JECWSU]

I didn't realize anyone had a thing for Kolyat. 

We really don't get enough time to get to know Legion because we get him so late in the game. I wish we got Thane a little earlier too.

I guess this actually depends on how you choose to space out the missions and sidequests in your game.  Getting Thane, Samara, and Legion later in the game and doing mostly main-mission stuff before the Relay meant that by spacing out the conversations, their conversations continued past the suicide mission, especially Legion's.  I got to talk to them for longer than the early game recruits, whose conversations had tapped out either before or just after the Collector base.

Also,  I can't take Kolyat seriously.  I admit to feeling more than a little glee in scaring the crap out of him during Thane's sidequest

Ok next playthrough I need to do that. I wish some of the conversations were longer. Kolyat needs the crap scared out of him. What makes me laugh a little is if you choose to shoot Kolyat.

Give Kolyat some time to grow and get over his daddy issues, and he's fine in my book. Closer to my RL age than Thane is anyway. Might be jailbait for Shep though.

[CheeseEnchilada]

I'm not going to lie here: I adore Kolyat. He's a little whiny, sure, but I understand why and how he turned out that way. He's one of my very favorite characters to write--enough of a personality to really shine through and make sure he's not OOC, but you've got enough wiggle room to really flesh him out, make him seem like a strong character.
(And he's closer to my age than Thane is, though I'd still rather take Feron )

Anyone else in here find Thane really difficult to write? I'm realizing that in all my fiction, he's always the character I spend the most time writing dialogue for, mainly because I'm scared if I make him too eloquent, he'll sound pretentious.

[ravenimage]

I know what you mean, Cheese. Reflecting Thane's eloquence from the game in writing can be difficult. Usually my brain goes blank when I try to think of how he'd say something.

I think Kolyat is a sweet kid with a lot of issues. I do understand why he has those issues. The only think about Kolyat that I don't like is his look. I do hope to see him in ME3. I would much rather take Thane then Feron. I have never written fanfic. I leave that to people like you. I would imagine that Thane is very difficult to write. I'm not sure if I've read any of your stories.

I think Heart to Heart is the only one with a real Thane voice; the rest are mostly Kolyat-based.

(apologies for plugging myself, not trying to be self-centered/break rules )

Kolyat's look is...interesting, to be sure. Mainly because I don't see a lot of Thane in his apperance. But I do love that they gave him a unique model--to me that signifies that he's more important than just one mission, he's integral to Thane's character and possibly due to re-appear in ME3. He does seem to take after (I assume!) Irikah for looks though-not just the chin, but facial structure and coloring. I wonder if he takes after her personality-wise too?

I'll have to read these. I actually have read the one called Contengency. I really liked that story. I thought it was funny, and I loved the frienship between Garrus and Shepard.

He defenatly has an interesting look. I do love his color, but his chin and head are a little big. I guess since he really doesn't look much like Thane that his looks come from Irikah. Personality wise he isn't much like Thane at all. One of the reasons is probably because Thane didn't raise him. Irikah is who he spent the most of his time with so personality wise he is probably somewhat like her.

Oh, I agree that Kolyat's issues are understandable.  And he is kind of adorkable.  But it's his parent issues that require my Shep to crawl along catwalks and deal with Elias, so by the time she gets to Kolyat, she and I are both a little testy and thoroughly enjoy shooting at him 

Also, Feron stole my heart in Lair of the Shadow Broker.  HOT DAMN.
