I was wondering what first attracted your Shepard to Thane? Was it the first time you saw him or spoke to him? Did you even plan on romancing him at all? I also wanted to know how many FemShepards to you all have, and did they all romance Thane?

I know it's to many questions, but I'm at home with a cold.

The thrill of the hunt.  Going through the Dantius Towers, Thane is always one step ahead, yet he goes out of his way to let Shepard know that he knows she's there and going after him.  That he blatantly completes his assassination of Nassana right in front of Shepard yet doesn't apologize for his actions, instead he confronts Shepard about hers.  I actually like when you choose the 'Bastard' line, Thane's response is perfect.  I'd planned to romance him, but his entire recruitment mission took that feeling to a whole 'nother level.  

I think I have 6 or 7 Shepards right now, but I'm most attached to Sharna, my engineer.  I have one Shepard, Erin, who romanced Garrus and one who will stay with Kaidan, but the rest are Thane's.

All Thane's.  Now it's your turn JEC!

[Tentura]

Coming into the game, I had planned to romance Garrus. Didn't really know a lot of info on the other romance options. But, like Gnas and Kaimana ... as soon as Thane dropped from that vent, smoothly executed his mission, and approached me with all that sexy confidence... well, let's just say you could practically hear Garrus facepalm behind me. "Damn, shouldn't have been doing those calibrations!!"

Aside from one 'cheater' and one 'pure' Garrus 'mance, all of my other femSheps are shameless drellickers.

Hope you feel better soon JECWSU!

Don't worry Kai. I was going to answer my question too.

I have about 7 Shepards. One stayed with Kaidan and one is for Garrus. The others are for Thane.

I planed on romancing Thane from the start. For my first playthroug I did to romance him it wasn't the Dantius Tower. Eventhough I did enjoy his recruitment and I love the fact that he knows you are there the enire time. It was after he cam aboard the Normandy. The more I talked to him the more I liked him. His relationship with the hanar, his training. I loved hearing about his spirituality. I didn't mind hearing about his wife. It sounded like love at first sight for him. How completely excited he sounds when he is talking about Shepard pushing him and challenging him to move faster in the Dantius Towers. I could have probably talked to him all day if the game would have let me.

Thanks Tentura and Gnas. I hope I feel better soon too.

Ladies, thank yooouu~ for all the lovely piccies and sillyness.

I've had a long day and due to this and that, my mood is pretty much terrible right now. Seeing how my mood is terrible or even bad at all about once in every three years, I'm genuinely interested in this dull state of annoyance and sulking. Even the thought of playing Mass Effect failed to cheer me. I consider this alarming!

Perhaps... perhaps a certain drell could help lure me out of this mindset?

I know it's to many questions, but I'm at home with a cold.

I really only have two Shepards: My canon one July (colonist, ruthless, paragade, engineer) and one I made just for the heck of it, Jane (spacer, war hero, paragon, soldier). I should probably try manShep sometime, because femShep is just... she's July for me, you know? I've got such strong association with my mainShep that I just have terribly hard time playing her any other way.

MainShep is Thane's forever now and Jane... I dunno yet. Kaidan or Garrus, methinks.

When I first saw Thane's trailers from his loyalty missions, I was pretty dumbstruck immediately, but I...I... I was pretty serious Kaidan girl back in the days. >_>

With that said, talking from my mainShep's perspective here... OF COURSE I WAS GOING TO STAY LOYAL TO KAIDAN and originally felt guilty and a little confused at my initial attraction towards Thane. I just figured "hey he's hot, it's natural" and brushed it off.

But...
1) Horizon. Kaidan, do you have any idea how much I needed your support, wondered where you were and tried to find out a way to contact you. Your distrust was a stab in the back that I just can't ignore and in the end, couldn't forgive. You're not the same man I knew, which I guess, in retrospect, is obvious. Time changed you and I guess it's just time for me to accept that. You've moved on, as much as you might claim differently.

2) I actually went after Thane to recruit him - his reputation perked my curiosity and he had me hunting for him, he was always one step ahead. There was the incredible grace and confidence he carried himself with and don't even get me started on the physical attraction... And that was just the first impression.

I think he got me the second we met, it just took some time to admit it to myself after what had happened with the previous unfortunate relationship. Everything he said and did just seemed to be the right thing, you know? One by one, barriers came tumbling down and I was pretty much helpless against him.

As a player I think that was what really, I mean really, set Thane apart from all the other LIs I've ever had the chance to meet - falling in love with him was falling in love for real. No settling, no compromises. Not for the sake of game enjoyment and/or curiosity, but because he just pushed all my buttons in such a fantastic order that I couldn't do better myself even if I tried.

Thane is perfect.

Hmm, well as I am still having my morning coffee, I don't think I can properly answer this thought provoking question. Yet.



Would someone please give JECWSU and Cora a Thane flower. Surely someone has drawn one by now. Not me, I draw bad stick figures. I can copy and paste like a mofo though.



*insert Arnie voice* I'll be back...

I've loved everyone's answers so far.

I've played ME2 several times. I even went back and played ME1 a couple times for some better characters, not that it really matters when you import. Wow, we get a whole level and some resources.

My male Shep stayed true to Ash. I might have to let Jack play with him a little. I made one for Garrus too because I just love him so much!

I wasn't sure what to make of Thane at first. I purposely refused to read anything about ME2 so I wasn't sure who was a LI at first. It was a gradual love with Thane. He seemed to pull me in more with each conversation. When we discussed solipsism (solipism?) well that got a bit intense. I actually redid the "tongue in anothers mouth" part and went "um weeell". I think it was actually his LM that did it for me. To see such emotion on a normal unreadable character was just too much for me to resist any longer. He's such a deep character both emotionally and background wise. The scene before the suicide mission was sweet. It brought him to life even more for me. I thought "you are so worth it".

You're right, he is perfect.

I have only one Shepard. I developed her the most, she's the one I'm attached to and I'm so in love with the infiltrator class that I really don't have a reason to play anything else. 

Going into the game I intended to romance Garrus or stay with Liara. Discovering Garrus' matured personality made me like him, but not really love him -- in that way. In other words he was a bro, not a ho. What attracted me (and by extension my Shepard) to Thane was very much the same reasons as those posted above. Coming out of the Zevran experience, I figured Thane would just be another suave, leather-clad James Bond-esque assassin guy. But when he killed Nassana, he was so gentle and... surprising. He prayed. He was interesting and I don't always have the privilege of saying that about BioWare romances.

I also enjoy his RM. Some missions are "grab and go" but his was interesting in that it was a hunt and there was more interaction with your enemy than just shooting at each other. Plus, I loved that BW made Nassana Dantius the target. My Shep was always  peeved that Nassana used her to kill her sister, so her death was not lamentable. Plus, it was funny that Nassana thought I was the assassin and in a weird way Thane and I were actually a "team" throughout the whole mission, with me as a decoy distracting the mercs. Job well done, I say.

When I was presented with the dialogue choice that would pursue Thane as a romance, I couldn't resist. His conversations kept pulling me in more and more. As far as video game romances go, Thane is my character's soulmate.

Who knew he'd be so terribly awesome as to say he loves my Shep? And is the first one to do so?

I came from the same mindset. When I read his dossier, I figured the BW would try to a Zevran-alien hybrid. I was gobsmacked when I met Thane.

Gentle! Yes. That. He is gentle.

I need a pic....

Why all the fun happens when I'm away or too busy to reply!!  

I have 3 femSheps and 1 Sheploo ( I don't know why I can't go full renegade unless I play as male....<_< )

I knew Thane was a LI when I started, but I had a huge crush on Garrus since ME1, so I went for him. I must admit that my will almost faltered in my first playthrough, I got the feeling that If I didn't romance Garrus before Thane I would never do... and I was right! Now I'm trying to replay a femShep for Garrus but it's so hard!!

Thought I liked Thane recruitment and all, what got me was talking to him. At the beginning I expected Thane to be more arrogant, judging from his CGI trailer. So even though he is soooooooooooo sexy I wasn't sure If I would like him.

Talking to him totally changed that for me.

Confident. Confident is the word.

Yes, he is. In game at least.

If you watch the CGI video again, he sounds different ( not sure is the same voice actor ), more defiant, arrogant. Don't know...  Maybe is just me.

Probably not just you, the voice actor changed at some part after the first trailers were already out. I think the cinematic trailer about Thane is CONFUSING, it's like this completely different character - but a fandom friend said that even Thane's writer had said somewhere that that trailer confuses the heck out of him, LOL. So I gave up trying to find that side of Thane a long ago. The whole "Killing is an art... and I'm the master." -thing just isn't there in the game.

Of which I'm not exactly sorry.

Wait, really? Crap, I'm not allowed on sound on the terminals at work. Now I have to wait til I get home to listen to it again.

Really! It's noticeable at least in some of the first E3 gameplay demos from Thane's RM. Can't remember exactly where we stand on the trailers, but seeing how the actor did change, I would call it a definite possibility that the voice may have changed there too. Must listen and see myself!

We need moar Thane pics! D:

I didn't know about that. 
Good to know I wasn't imagining things, that means I haven't exceeded my drellliking quote

I think the actor is the same, the personality is not. Thane is definitely confident and maybe a teensy bit arrogant when he talks to Shepard about how he had to get to Nassana before she did, as a matter of pride. I think? I think that's what the conversation was about. I really ought to play ME2 again.



Whatever arrogance he has is probably a side effect of Shepard "waking him up." He resigned himself to death, but when he realized someone else was pushing for the target something sparked him, and he had to compete.

Me too!  I really dislike that trailer.  It just leaves you with such an incorrect impression of him.  I think it might be my least favorite of all of the character trailers, despite Thane being one of my favorite characters in game.  To me, Grunt's was the most in-character - It is so him.  I loved his "heh heh heh."
