Thane should return alive and well (all things considered), but not cured in ME3. His terminal illness should always be a part of who the character is, IMO. Not every character or romance should have a happily-ever-after epilogue.

If I were one of the writers, and assuming both characters survive the end run, I'd have Thane eventually succumb to his illness in the epilogue. But having played a role in saving the Galaxy he'd face his death without any regrets and for those that romanced him, the year or two he spent with FemShep beyond the end of ME3 would be happy, and not defined by his impending death. Whether or not Shep romanced Thane I'd have him or her at his bedside as he passed, and he'd thank Shep for giving him purpose. He'd thank those who didn't romance them for their friendship, and tell those that did romance him that he is happy, and he'd be waiting for her across the sea.

Wow, is the Cure Thane banner hanging in a BioWare office now? Because that would be awesome.

I think an ending like this would be fine. I just want Thane to be around for and live through ME3, whether BioWare decides to cure him or not. A mention of Kolyat would be nice too.

Hana you rocking and rolling genius!! Practically bursting with pride of this collaboration! When I saw this on my facebook I was soooo happy! Bioware are really taking this to heart.

Welcome to all those who are delurking/new!

And as for Thane's illness, it is 8-12 months before he negins to deteriorate, so it does depend on the time frame of ME2 (how long it lasts) and when ME3 begins, but I imagine it will be soon after.



As for whether or not he should die in ME3? I agree it would be bittersweet and emotionally, really powerful. And his mortality is a defining aspect of his character, it affects his romance, his loyalty mission and his entire attitude in ME3.

However, things dont need to be as extreme as a miracle cure. It is already said that the hanar won't provide a cure within Thane's lifetime. But, the cure can be the result of a sacrifice, or a choice. For example, Cerberus have a lot of advanced technology i.e The Lazarus Project. So if Shepard kept the Collector base, then there could be tech there that could unnaturally prolong Thane's lifespan. But this decision would be a moral choice by the character.

But on the Thane thread, we are realistic enough to know that the hanar won't pop up and hand us a cure in their tentacles. But I think there will be an in depth story around it.

On that note, yay for the 'Cure Thane' collaboration!!!

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

I too, have only kept it one playthrough. I hate Cerberus! But that was just an example, there are loads of things that could be done. But I thought if Thane's life was prolonged through unnatural means, then it would be a moral choice rather than a rainbow and kittens cure sprining from the seas on Kahje where the Goddess Arashu was rumoured to have been born...

Thane appears to be a realist to me. I think it is unlikely that a cure for Thane will come from the hanar.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

Read what? Huh?

Biotic Thane is amazing! It's a shame he doesn't hold the biotic field. I never had him do it because I always figured that a 'pure' biotic would be better. Like Jack or Samara/Morinth.

However, you are right that Bioware probably won't be focussing much on the squaddies in ME3. That was ME2's job. But Thane does have a major thing in his story arc that will need to be resolved. And that will happen in ME3. Yeah, he has a lot of drama in his life, but his death is part of that drama, and that will need to come to its completion. However that might be.

And I always love your screenies 5iha!

[Enigmatrix]

/Sign.

 Easily the best character in the entirety of ME2. Also...his voice effects were stupidly sexy. Cure!! Do want.

[JECWSU]

More great screen shots 51ha.

[kimprobable]

I definitely had to go back and read what was said, 51ha.

That is a damn fine snake!man thing. Mmm.

I know it's been ages since we had this discussion but I decided the other day that Thane dying is really a pretty boring story construct for him and I'm not sure why it should have any bearing on a Shepard relationship at all. She risks her life day in and day out defending the galaxy and chances are everyone is either going to be kidnapped by Collectors or harvested by the Reapers anyway. Wouldn't someone in her shoes be like, "You're dying? Race ya, lulz." ... So now it just bugs the crap outta me. The estranged son/dead wife is really enough, and there is plenty of 'oh noes we might lose each other!' drama with the impending death possibilities they (and the rest of the galaxy) already face. Pbbt.

Ok I have a question for everyone who thinks that Thane should/will/can die in me3 or at the end of me3. Now the question is: what will the romance scene then be like? Will the romance scene in me3 be the same as it was in me2 (again crying and not wanting to die stuff) or are you actually thinking we will get a deathbed scene instead of a romance one?

I think that if you ask yourself this question there are really only two possibilities with Thane. Either he will die before me3 or right at the start (which is absurd - why would they wait till me3 just to kill him off right away) or he will not die in me3 or right after. So actually there’s only one good solution.

I don't think that Thane should die, but I think it's possible. Maybe not so much now that BioWare has shown so much interest in the cure banner. Personally, I'd like his life to be prolonged. But if he does die, it would be best if it happened towards the end by a heroic sacrifice (because he knows he's dying anyway), or in the epilogue. He should definitely get a romance scene, just like everyone else. The topic of conversation might not be centered around his coming death either - by that point in time, he might be content to spend the rest of the time he has finding happiness with Shepard, and Kolyat if he plans to survive the final battle. I'd rather not have a deathbed scene, unless it's something mentioned in the epilogue. And I thought ME3 isn't supposed to be as "dark" as ME2?

My MainShep would have a laughing fit if this happened. ThaneShep would have saved the base if she went with her first instinct alone, but she'll change her mind because of what Thane says. She'll still work with TIM, and according to Retribution, TIM gets useful tech no matter what, but if it can only be used from the Collector base... she can't cure him, but MainShep can? She would think that's hilarious. (They're really in the same universe with the Collector base saved, so the alternate universe joking around is all in good fun.)

My ThaneShep is the type of person who would actually say that. xD

Some quotes from Thane on the matter.

"If the finest medical minds in the hanar Illuminated Primacy can't solve the problem, I doubt your ship's medic could."
"The hanar have funded a genetic engineering program. They should be able to adapt us."
"The project has only been running for a few years. I don't believe my body will still draw breath by the time it bears fruit."

[Fiery Phoenix]

I very much agree with the notion that Thane is a realist.
