It's interesting they got Kaidan so right the first time out and then got Jacob so wrong on their second try. Were they just going for something different or were they perhaps trying in some odd way to keep us from cheating because the reunion they've got planned for with Femshep and Kaidan is so good they don't want us to miss it.( I would like that if that were the case).

I almost think Thane is an experiment. I know nothing about Carth but if Thane's character is so close to Carth it might be that they wanted to know if how the character looked had anything to do with why a person liked them. I mean if Thane and Carth are the same and more women like Carth over Thane then maybe it does have something to do with appearance. A test perhaps for the future as to how they design and create their characters.

I think in some sense the fact that we see these types of characters over and over is some sign that Bioware does listen to us women.

I like Thane as a character but I actually don't see it as "Carth-like." His focus and sensitivities seem more spiritual; contemplative and introspective more than anything else.  Alistair is more Carth-like to me both in terms of being somewhat abandoned or betrayed by family/friends and use of humor, which actually could make sense given that both characters were written by David Gaider. 

Carth (and I did like him) had major trust issues.  He'd been betrayed by a lot of important people in his life and he felt guilty that he'd let his family down. So, like many folks, particularly males, are often  taught, he pushed his feelings away for the most part. And he was conflicted by liking (or loving the female) PC. All his trust issues came to the fore.  And guess what?  Revan isn't exactly who she thinks and says she is either..... (big surprise and we all know how Bioware loves surprises like this!). Much of Carth's dialog was a kind of questioning of the PC along with some lovely fliritatous humor when the PC called him out on his stuff.  But as has been said before, any male NPC who behaves more sensitively than Duke Nukem seems to be considered "whiny."

The horizen reunion is the saddest scene in the game

 Agreed it was very sad for me,  it also was a big wtf moment from the  words being said. 

[sberna78]

I agree with the folks here who say that did such a fantastic job with Kaidan as an LI in the first game...

Liara is sweet and pretty and I even tried one playthrough with her as my Femshep's LI....and I just couldn't do it (scrapped that game)......I just...well it just wasn't "there" for me, if that makes sense.

I know it's a game...we all know that...but if I'm playing a role playing game and there's the option of romance, I'm going to go after the type of character that is most similar to the type of person that I'd be attracted to in real life.

Kaidan just fit that bill for me...there's just something about him, the way he looks, the way he talks, the way he acts that makes you want to fall in love with him, run away with him, kill things with him, make mad love and eat stacks of waffles and lots of pie with him, etc...

I like Garrus a lot and liked Thane as well, and have had 2 new ME2 playthroughs where I romanced each of them...they were decent and nicely done IMO, but suffice to say, it's just NOT Kaidan...I admit totally that as of now, I'm spoiled and I'm biased and feel that they'd be hard pressed to come up with another LI that impresses and intrigues me as much as Kaidan did/does...

Maybe a space version of Dean Winchester would be nice...specializing in shotguns and sarcastic remarks...eh as attractive as that sounds, it's still not Kaidan...

Well, the similarities between Carth and Thane are strictly in their background stories...both had wives killed because of their own professions, both had sons whom they had lost -- Carth's was taken, Thane abandoned his, and both sons grew up to follow in their dad's footsteps in a bad way, making the son's redemption into a quest.



That's quite a bit in common, too much to be just a coincidence...

Yeah, I agree with your (it was yours, I believe !) earlier comment that ME cribbed Carth's background for Thane.  However, my thought is that the characters, although they have background commonalities are also different in their responses. Carth was pretty right side and I see Thane as much more shade of grey. Carth felt victimized and blamed others, particularly Revan for what happened to his family; even though he could kick himself pretty well for having failed his family, he generally tended to refocus this on blaming Revan.  Thane seems more accepting of himself  (regret vs. guilt) and accepts responsibility for his actions even though he may have regrets and be working on a form of redemption.

He said he fancied someone before, but went mad when someone was hurting her, and killed that person who he was angry at.

Sky from Jade Empire also shares a lot in common with Carth/Thane.  He is a grieving father and widow who needs you to encourage him to give relationships a second chance.

If I find out that Kaidan is a baby-daddy, I will punch something.

I haven't either, so don't feel bad. It also wasn't really anything I would have picked up because I never really liked Star Wars in general so anything connected to it I will generally not touch.

I've wondered that too. You can clearly see it through his shirt, but in the love scene, they didn't bother to put it in. Then again, you only see his bare chest for 3 seconds tops
