LOL OMG, such decisions. Please don't make me decide between my big little brother and Thane. I would hate to sacrifice my bro. Soz Tasha.

I would, however, be willing to sacrifice Jacob. LOL

edit: LOL to you both. I got top of page.

I wouldn't sacrifice any squadmates that I liked better than Thane for him, like Garrus. But I can definitely understand why others would sacrifice their whole team for him. I would do the same for Saren (even though it would be really sad to lose Garrus). Thane is lucky that he's one of my favorite squadmates though. There are many others that I would sacrifice for him. I don't like those kind of choices though. It worked on Virmire, and didn't bother me at all because I didn't care for either character, but I'm not sure that a choice like that would make sense where a cure is involved. I can see a choice like that happening in main missions, just not in what will probably be a side mission.

If it was a choice between Reaper weapons and a cure... sorry, Thane, but MainShep is going with the more practical choice there. A cure won't do much good if everyone gets killed off by the Reapers anyway. ThaneShep, however, would go for the cure and have to deal with frustrated TIM later.

Edit: That comic is adorable.

Don't underestimate Bioware's cruelty. I mean, look at Thane:
''Hello, I'm a super hot and badass assasin''
One minute later.
''I'm dying''.

Spot on summary, made my day ^^ But I'd also approve of something less disturbing than sacrificing my squad members, maybe sacrificing a small planet? But if there is no cure for Thane I hope my Shepard will at least be able to die with him...

Now, sacrificing a planet for a friend is something my MainShep would do. xD Unless it's a turian planet.

[Nodscouter]

Sacrificing a planet sounds good to me. Doubt Thane will be happy, but he'll be alive!

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

Don't tell Thane! What he doesn't know can't hurt him eh?

And Shell, damn you! At least Nod didn't get another one But lol at the comic strip! And no one would notice that Jacob would be gone. Except perhaps Kasumi...
And yeah, I would def take down the reapers over a cure, but only because ThaneShep is a little selfish and doesn't want to die.

I actually wasn't hugely bothered by his "I'm dying." At first because although I was psyched that he was an assassin, I hadn't gotten to know him yet. Of course after the conversations, I was thinking YOU MUST BE ALIVE FOR ME3!!

I knew Thane was dying long before ME2 was released, so I didn't have a real reaction to it. I read it online, possibly on the Wiki, and my response was just something like, "Okay then." xD Maybe it's not so much bad news when you already know it's coming. Although, I knew about the Saren suicide before I saw it in-game, and it was still sad... How much we care about the character makes a difference too. Thane's one of my favorite squadmates, but not one of my favorite characters overall (if we're going by the top five or so).

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

I thought it added to his character. I thought his family background could have been done better. But his mortality influenced his actions lots in ME2:
1) He worked for Shepard free of charge on a Suicide mission.
2) Thane reunited with his son.
3) He admitted things that he had never admitted to anyone else before.
4) He got himself a new Siha!

[Kim Shepard]

I actually preferred his background story. I like stories that involve assassins and the effects that the job had on their life. They're normally sad stories, but what favorite character of mine doesn't have tragedy in their past?

[Nodscouter]

I tend to not read up on spoilers, so when Thane came with his ''I'm dying'', I went: ''Bioware, what, the, f*ck have you done?''

[JECWSU]

I read spoilers so I already knew he was dying, so it didn't surprise me. I know some people don't like his background story, because they say it has been done before. I've never seen it in a video game so I don't really have a problem with it. I do wish they hadn't added the dying part. I think Thane is interesting without it, and I wouldn't have to worry about him being in ME3.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

What does annoy me that people use the fact that he is dying as an excuse not to get attached to him as a character, or not to romance him.

Surely his mortality would mean that he needs more lovin'!

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

I agree. Especially for something like a Viral infection.

The reason I came too is that drell are such a rare species to see or come into contact with, as Captain Bailey says on Thane's LM. Therefore, it isn't the priority of other races (with the exception of the hanar) to spend credits on a cure. Not until they are on the verge of extinction that is. And they aren't yet.

But even then, with the hanar, they are a race designed for the seas, and therefore, would have to adapt a whole new science and technology to treat drell. I imagine a lot of hanar's technology will use water, and if too much moisture is what causes Keprel's syndrome, then perhaps the delay in a forthcoming cure is due to the hanar having to cope with using something out of their comfort zone.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

I can't see the hanar as being brilliant biologists. Philosophers, thinkers and religious zealots, sure. But I can't see them being very good with more practical matters. With all them tentacles and that...

That, and they are evil! ;D

I would rather they would explain why there is no cure. Because I find it ridiculous that with that kind of technology they can't find a cure for an illness that is little more complex than pneumonia. That is why I’m hoping for evilness of hanar (or just plain stupidity). It will just make more sense to me.

I completely agree with this. In a universe where you can bring someone who was dead for two years back to life there should be some kind of treatment for Thane.  I would like to think that the hanar aren't evil or stupid. Maybe it just wasn't a top priority for them. That would be an interesting story if it turned out that the hanar are not as good as they appear to be.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

I think they are all like Blasto perhaps? With numerous guns, and blasphemous comments like 'Enkindle this!'

The Compact seems unfair to the drell now, because presuming that drell have the same lifespan as us. All those who were saved by the hanar are dead, so the compact does not directly affect those like Thane. But still, they are born with a debt to repay to the hanar.

[JECWSU]

I was wondering if the younger generation of drell feel the same way about the compact as Thane does. Would they give there children over to the hanar at such a young age.

I really would like to know who came up with the compact.

[Nodscouter]

I don't think it's that much of a stretch to say that the Drells came up with it. People have a tendency to think that because someones father saved their father, they owe that person. Seeing as the Hanar saved alot of Drell, is it really that odd to think that the Drell feel like they owe the Hanar?
And it still comes with a choice.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

I think Thane has a very mature outlook on it. But it is hard to know what the personality of drell are when we only know three. And only one of them in depth.

But yeah, I wonder how Kolyat feels about the Compact, for example.

LOL! My boyfriend had that conversation. 

My cold heart said: Don't bond with the dying guy!
My bleeding heart boyfriend: Jeez, that is EXACTLY why you should get to know him! To appreciate who is he before he's gone!

Then I overheard the Asari with her Turian boyfriend on the Citadel, and he's saying how he doesn't want a fish because it'll die in a few years, and she's hurt because he should 'embrace the fish's lifespan.' (Then he goes 'Oh god, we're not having the life span talk.' So hilarious.)

That cemented deciding to have a relationship with him after all.  Plus, he's the most handsome and romantic IMHO. Him and his 'siha' talk.. turned me into jelly. Bah.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

At first, I thought that after I had gone through the romance scene with Thane, that romancing him was cruel to him. He has finally come to terms with his mortality, when someone gives him a reason to fear death, and want to live.

But then, after my second Thane playthrough, I realised that it is better to give him happiness before he passes away (or hopefully, not!) so that his final years are not lonely.

And welcome to the Thane thread MarqueAZ!

I so agree with you. The fact that he's dying made him even more attractive to me... oh, the passion, the drama...*sobs* I cried so much while watching the final romance scene...
