I don't like being called skipper either. I love it when Thane starts calling Shepard Siha. I even like when Kasumi calles you Shep, and I like what Legion when Legion calls you Shepard Commander.

Thane probably hating Shepard would be the one thing that would keep me form doing it. That and the fact that I mostly play paragon. No matter how hard I try I can't be completely renegade. Some of the renegade decisions are a little funny to watch and some seem a bit cruel. I would do anything to save him, but I'm not going to do something that would make him hate me. I am curious as to how they are going to do this if they keep Thane alive. It will probably cost us something. Maybe not another life, but there should be something. It shouldn't come easy.

Totally agree with you there. I also think's it's adorable when he starts saying "Siha" I just thinks it's cute. . . and he has a mysterious way to flirt We love him. And i hope they don't automaticly kill him off, Bioware know's that we all love thane, or else why put him in the damn thing as a LI anyway?

As far as the idea of sacrificing someone for Thane: The idea on the surface makes it a good idea, but in depth, I don't think the reaction that we THINK we would get from Thane would come.

I agree (and agree with most everything you wrote).  For me, and I've had this rolling around in my head for a while now since LotSB came out, is what happens if Thane isn't willing to get any kind of treatment or transplant?  If I convince him to do so, who am I really making happy?  I know, I'm totally overthinking the whole situation, but it's an interesting question, on the whole, that can easily be applied to real life.

I never had a big problem with Ashley, but I can see why she rubs some people the wrong way.  I would love to walk in on a debate between her and Thane, that'd be some good stuff right there. 

[BlackEssence]

@KaimanaMM: It sure as heck would be a good debate. My money is on Thane! He would break her intelligence down like a fraction over how stupid her views are of aliens and then walk off leaving her completely and utterly DUMBFOUNDED.

But, I just had an idea that could make things VERY dramatic in the situation of Thane being saved if a sacrifice had to be made. Contemplate for second:

With the kind of disease that Thaney-poo has...what if the only way to treat/cure his illness would be that in order to have a successful lung transplant...the lungs he acquires would HAVE TO BE from someone who is next of kin: Kolyat.

Think about that for a minute before you answer. lol.

It's very romantic and very much Thane.

It would be silly to just kill him of after they spent so much time and effort on his character. If they killed him Shepard would probably be upset for about two seconds and then nothing. Thane wouldn't be remembered. He probably wouldn't even be mentioned after that. I know there is always the chance that they could kill him off, but I'm hoping that they don't.

I'm not sure how that would play out. There is no way Thane would sacrifice his son, or let you do it to save him. If Kolat is killed in some kind of accident then you could use his lungs, but I think Thane would still have a hard time wanting to use his sons lungs. They would probably give you the option to somehow persuade him.

I had that question a while back also, Black_E.  It definitely adds another dimension to the whole thing.  I can't imagine Thane would be alright with it in any sense, even if Kolyat volunteered.  I know I wouldn't be okay with even suggesting that we use Kolyat for spare parts (Feron though, better sleep with one eye open.)

[BlackEssence]

@JECWSU: I agree. Persuasion of some sort leading up to Thane making his own decision based on what he wants to do. He would have to "meditate" on it for while. But, I would love it if he made the decision on what he wanted to do. Even if that meant living without him, which would kill me, I would support him no matter what....I think...I'd cry, though.

That's what would make it so troubling. If Kolyat volunteerd or died, Thane would be at odds with himself. And I would never be one to suggest Kolyat. Thane would probably mention him in thought, But, if Kolyat volunteer or died, you could persuade him that his son would want his father living a full life writing the wrongs of others, he would honor his son and his son, just like his wife, would always be apart of him. In a literal and figuratively.

Couldn't they develop technology akin to the iron lung but portable and more permanent? Shepard is chock full of synthetic parts.

This would be awesome.  Sort of like how with Grunt on Tuchanka, you can say, 'This is your call, Grunt'.  And it's not a charm / intimidate option, just a normal middle / neutral convo option.  I would love to encourage / persuade Thane to make his own decision.  I can easily see him agreeing to undergo treatment of some type, even if it meant being out of comission and away from Shepard for a while.  And what a reunion that'd be if Shep hasn't seen him for a few months!  *steamythoughts*  But a transplant would be a whole 'nother can of worms.

I have to admit though, I'm one of those people who thinks Shepard deserves some happiness.  At the end of the day, s/he's saved the galaxy twice (soon to be thrice, hopefully).  I would hope that she and Thane can see the desert he wants to, if not retire there to live happily ever after.

Can't see Thane accepting to have his son's lungs. No matter how many tons of persuasion points Shepard might be able to throw at him.

EDIT: I love this video, because it shows Thane can be a total bro to ManShep:

@Fiery Phoenix: I believe Thane would consider the transplant, but as I said, he would be at odds with himself. The decision would tear him apart, but it would be a necessary decision. I wouldn't want him to make irrational and emotional decisions until he meditated about it, considered the consequences, both good and bad, moral or immoral, due to HIS personal beliefs, of what he wanted to do with his life. I want it to be HIS decision, and it would be cool if ALL of your actions up to that point dictated his decision and that he would tell Shepard why he made whatever decision that he made.


@KaimanaMM: You have me on the boat with you. I totally, TOTALLY agree with you.

I'm one of those people too. Shepard and Thane have been through enough. They both deserve some happiness together. 

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

I always thought that mansheps and unromanced femsheps didn't quite experience the fullness of Thane's character. So when I made a playthrough for him, I was like WOW! This guy is awesome!!! So that Thane = Bro vid is great!

I don't think Thane would ever have a lung transplant from Kolyat. He prizes his son, and endangers himself from going down the same path he was forced to take. I think Thane wants Kolyat to appreciate the decades of life he has left without the sorrow that has plagued Thane in his life.

I actually think, that after his LM, Thane would give his life for Kolyat if the situation presented itself.

But yes, I too think more along the synthetic implants part. Cerberus could probably do it.

Haha I was just reading back over this page going "Yeah... I can't see Thane being okay with Kolyat doing the transplant, but my Sheps would *gladly* volunteer Feron's lungs... ;D"

I just read some news from that very PSM saying that some characters are gone and some are coming back and had the nerve to put the word "unpopular" beside the likes of my beloved Thane, and cool women like Samara. I believe that this is a scare tactic. I truly do.

I plan to stay with Game Informer...because PSM is trying to make us have a stroke saying that we won't see Thane AT ALL in ME3 and I know that's a lie...you can read about it here: Characters "So-Called" Gone From ME3.

*WARNING* Read the information given by PSM that the poster speaks about with a GRAIN OF SALT mixed with nasty CASTOR OIL and vineager!

PSM is speculating! Thane and the drell (and hanar by proxy) are the most fascinating idea bioware has come up with to date... Kahje sounds magical.. it would be a crime if they didn't explore them further

[BlackEssence]

That's all they ever do is speculate. They know that this will get the fanbase in an uproar, which we will do, to keep Thane and whoever else we like in the game! Especially, THANE!

[JECWSU]

They are doing nothing but speculating. I read how they called Thane unpopular. He may not be the most popular character, but he is hardly unpopular. It also said his allegiance wasn't as strong as the others. The entire article seemed very unprofessional to me.

@JECWSU: I couldn't agree more. Just very highschoolish.

[kaimanaMM]

Baseless speculation.  Highly biased basless speculation, at that.

So instead, imagine a happy place.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

Well, sounds like that magazine article has focussed too much on the reporters opinion rather than the facts like the GI ME3 article, which is what I will be reading.

And have they not comprehended the fact Thane's fate is unfinished and a cliffhanger? So why the hell would he be missed out from the game altogether? Not Bioware's style to leave out a massive detail like that.

I still think that nothing has been said about Thane yet because it will be a spoiler left for just before the game is released. Like Archangel with ME2.

[TheSweetGirl]

That magazine is a complete, utter baseless opinion to cause flame. Thank God I read GI instead of that garbage.

Still, can't wait to see Thane's role in ME3. Can't wait to see what BW has him doing =)

[Antivenger]

Thane had less than a year left when he joined Shepard, right? Cut off a few months and the increased physical activity, he has maybe half left unless he gets 'cured'. Assuming he doesn't, what would you guys like to see in ME3 that would fit his "Dying moments of Awesome"?
