On my first playthrough with my shepard that romanced Garrus I was surprised by her reation. Also I didn't lock into my relationship with Garrus yet in ME3 and when I went to lunch with Kaidan he started talking about us. I was again surprised that he was hitting on my shepard when I never even spoke to him in ME1 and was with Garrus. I don't think you should have had to lock into the relationship all over again. Especially since I already did it in ME2.

Locking it in again in ME3 is silly, and IF there was a conversation flagged for that, it should've been Garrus's first conversation back on the Normandy.  I managed to avoid Kaidan's ninjamance throughout the series, but only with some pretty significant metagaming.  I looked up which plot flags triggered his ME3 stuff, exactly how mean I had to be in ME1, etc.  It shouldn't be that hard to just be friends with a dude.

Still, I think every Shepard should have an option to persuade Thane to take lung transplant or at least help him in the fight with KL. There are non-romancers who wanted to save Thane as well, so I think it would be unfair to make the option dependent on romance status.

So much this.  I didn't romance Thane with either of my Shepards who finished ME3.  (Sorry, planned Thane-romancing Shep.  Not playing you until there's a mod that does you justice.)  My FemShep probably wouldn't have bothered with a cure, but my ManShep and Thane were epic sniper bros in ME2, and he's the kind of character who would stick his neck out for a friend even in the middle of an apocalypse.

It's things like this that help us roleplay and define the protagonist, and a lot of that attention to detail got axed in ME3, in everything from the LIs to the dialogue options to the Paragon/Renegade alignments.

Maybe.  At this point, I'm finding it easier to be cynical than hopeful when it comes to ME3's DLC.  I did hear Leviathan and Javik were good quality, but I balk at the idea of purchasing DLC containing plot elements that should've been in the flipping game to begin with.

I agree.
I thought that when I got Garrus back on the Normandy, and told him I wanted to continue that would be enough to lock you in. I didn't lock in until the date with him.

Monday Musing is up on the Cosmic Love blog....inspired by convos in this thread (as many of my musings do). Thanks as always for the "thoughts", Thane-peeps!

As for the non-romanced, Loyal Thane. I know he never says anything specific, but my first character to engage Thane was my m!Shep, Abel. I knew nothing about Thane (didn't read any spoilers or such), and I honestly felt after finishing the game, that he WOULD try and help himself live longer. Between reuniting with his son, and developing a strong friendship with Shep (possibly others....okay, mostly my own vision, but still...) that he would eventually take the lung transplant or explore new medical treatments to extend his life. Truly it was how I saw it, and that was before romancing him with my first fem!Shep in ME2.

I do wonder though if it has something to do with a few of the options one has when talking to him. My choices in dialogue options with Abel Shepard, were all over the place.....diplo/para, neutral/"just the facts", and renegade/direct. This may have allowed me to hear dialogue that isn't commonly heard; something that "may" reflect his consideration of choosing to live vs. being ok with dying. Unfortunately, i don't have any convenient save on Abel's play through to check out. I do have another m!Shep who is almost out of ME1 (had to replay him, then got distracted with "self" experiment and Dragon's Dogma...lol), so I plan on marking the saves the way I do with my f!Sheps. This way I can abuse a few of them to try and "recreate" what I did with Abel. See if I can find dialogue that isn't commonly heard, or if it even exists.....*shrug*

Huh.  I guess they've been getting a lot of this kind of thing since ME3's release, and not just over Thane.  Over the endings, the MP, DLC, just about anything you can shake a stick at.

It's very un-Tully. He usually doesn't respond (or hasn't lately) to these kind of things.

Momentary hope on my part...

Is that picture pertaining to the new DLC? Sorry, I haven't been keeping up with any ME news, can someone clue me in?

[mnomaha]

Yes, it is. part of the teaser tweet from the buttware powers.

Do you think he was just being a smartass? It's so hard to tell with text

[disc0nnect7]

I'll take your word for it Squeegee! It's cool that a Thane tweet was acknowledged, anyway. I also wonder if they've been taking notice that we're one of the few active character threads on BSN after the lock.

Ah, thanks for informing me It's supposed to be a teaser? They could have done a little better than that, I think. Is there any news on a release date for this DLC?

[Vlk3]

No, though Chris Priestly said there will propably be more info in the middle of February.

Most people think that the DLC will be released in March.

I think it was a demonstration of indifference.

A lot of things have happened over the last year. I do not believe BioWare. I do not play single ME3. I do not give my money to EA.
Hmmm ... But if something does change, and I get my happy ending, I about-turned.  "...To give you hope, when all seems lost..."  But it will be too elegant plot (story) twist.

I'm afraid that tweet gives me nothing, no hope, no anger. That would be anyone's reaction if someone walked up and said "I don't like your stuff, so I'm not buying it." Granted it's also a weird tweet to respond to, since I'm sure he'd get a lot more Thane tweets and then pick this one to respond to.

I refuse to think this last DLC will provide anything for Thane but at the same time I can't help but wonder if it's a dlc that might happen during the game, maybe even before his death. Maybe we could at least get some more romance content... but yeah, probably not.

The funny thing is if it contains every other character but Thane... just... no. That'd be extremely disappointing and sad.

[JECW]

All the dlc would be during the game because bioware said they wouldn't do any post-game dlc. I think we all know what their word is worth. I don't hold out any hope for Thane to be in this. I would love to be wrong though.

[Thrazesul]

Didn't they say they wouldn't do any more dlcs related to the endings? Nothing about post ending dlcs.

Not that it matters what they say, indeed, as they tend to say one thing and mean another. And a post ending dlc would be way too much work and useless since that'd only cover Destroy.

At best this dlc might be about characters and story, not another random shoot em up dlc.

I would guess that is exactly what it will be.  I really can't imagine that they would change their minds now on the endings.  One thing I did think of though, for those still wanting some kind of epilogue slide for the breath scene: have a slide of a person in a hospital bed, LI/Garrus/or Liara standing in front of where the upper torso/head area would be.  Only part of the person that is shown is an arm (male arm for m!Shepards, female arm for fem!Shepards).  Hanging from the side of the bed, the N7 dogtags.  This is hardly a new concept....people have made similar art (though they have a full view of "their" Shepard in said art), but who knows.....maybe that would be an attractive add to the ending slides. *shrug*
