If Thane dies (fingers crossed) do we get Raidan? Kolyat I mean. As long as he curbs his complaining and no more creepy Drell moments.

[Must have name]

I sort've hope Thane dies also. Not because I don't like him, he's my single favourite new character. But it would just seem cheap to me if they decided to "cure" him in ME3.

[FaeTian]

I really hope that there will be an optional cure for Thane in ME3. I mean, Bioware finally gives the girls a sexy male alien to romance and then they decide to just kill him off? No fair.

[BlindBay7]

BW said they spent a lot of time on Thane's development so hopefully that's something working for him...

[Gamer Xtreme]

Or that they develop characters well even if they are to be killed off.

[Fjordgnu]

If they're going to let him survive, it'd better be elaborate and well thought-out, with some sort of long-term effect. I wouldn't want anyone's LI to die, but if he is to survive, there should be some compromise or sacrifice. Something that doesn't just magically disappear what is in essence a death sentence, as that would, in a way, cheapen the character.

[Collider]

A solution to the problem regarding Thane's death is, like others have said, to have the cure come at some sort of cost or significance. A sidequest, a choice, something. If Thane is cured without any player action, then we should have some sort of significance to it - some happy cutscene or whatever, so it isn't just something mentioned once and never revisited.

I hope he dies in ME3.  His romance was a total rip off.  Why would my young femshep want a middle aged man with a teenaged kid for a lover?  Not to mention that every time you talked to him, Femshep had this disgustingly pitied look on her face.

Just die, Thane.  I'm going back to Kaidan anyways.

I have been trying to keep this thread mature, but I have to say that last smiley made me crack up. 

Its like someone giving you a thumbs up with a wink after punching you in the stomach.

[Leonhartx]

they did bring Shepard back to life from a burnt out corpse, Im pretty sure fixing Thane's lungs isn't going to be hard.

[Jimbe2693]

Does it say anywhere how long he has to live? He says he's dying but that could be in 5 years for all we know.

[BlindBay7]

I believe he said 8-12 months

[Leonhartx]

yes he said 8-12 months and even less the more time he spends in a moist environment I believe, but yes, back to my theory on how if they can bring a dead burnt out corpse back to life, they can easily fix Thane's lungs, Him and Garrus were the only two I had respect for on the Normandy.

edit: What about a short term solution to prolong his life enough to help shepard kill the reapers? Like Mordin giving him something to drink that would temporarily strengthen his lungs or w/e was killing him.

I can't help but laugh or /boggle? 

If you don't want to romance Thane, then don't? You act as if romancing him was impossible to avoid.

I wanted to type more but you said you were going back to Kaidan and I realized I could talk to a real alien species before I could understand that choice:lol:

[Lord Atlia]

@IccaRa if my Shepard gets an e-mail from you regarding Thane in ME3 he will shake his head.



Cutlass Jack has the right idea but to expand on that it would be really cool if you found a Reaper panacea of sorts but it is only a single dose. Do you cure Thane, Jack, Joker, boost Tali's immune system so she live without a suit, and so forth? To further this the entire squad is aware of Shepard's possession of said item and would judge his/her choice or appeal to him/her. I think that would be a powerfully emotional scene.

[AM50]

I love Thane. I loved all the characters. But I almost think he must die. I don't want some lame resurrection where he is magically healed. Bioware has used that card once in the trilogy. That's all you can use it. Jack could potentially die as well. I LOVED Thane but I just don't want some lame "OMG I iz heal3d!!!!1!!1" type thing.

[ZennExile]

Thane has to die. His character is built around his terminal illness. It would be a 180 to not kill him off and Jack knows how we feel about 180's.

I think for the sake of maturity and loss the devs will have us witness Thanes death on his deathbed. dont tell me that wouldnt be a bit traumatizing.

Like Luke with Yoda? Thane will just dissapate and then appear disembodied to give you advice for the rest of the game.

I dunno what you're talking about, middle aged men are hot as hell.  35-45 year old men are the sexiness...hence why Thane is the sexiness...

Its pretty certain Jack's doomed, too. You think she should remain that way, too?

I kinda hope that Jack dies. I wouldn't mind a little more professionalism out of my crew, and if that means "cutting away the fat" then so be it.

As to the topic, I get the feeling that Thane will die after the war with the Reapers.

There's no cure for Thane's disease and I don't want one. But the game does mention advanced treatments, and it never says that Thane has had them. He was resigned to his death until Femshep romanced him. Is that because he's exhausted all treatment options? Or because of simple fatalism combined with his lingering grief and detachment? I think we could make a case for the latter and plausibly extend his life a few years.

It doesn't have to be a choice between finding a cure or dying between/during the games. Just give him better and more advanced treatments and let the Thane romancers have a bittersweet semi-happy ending.

My thoughts exactly.

/looks at Liara

Yeah, I dont think Bioware is above using unexplained and pointless changes in their main character's anymore.

I still think Thane should die, but it should be a part of the game if he survived and very emotional and touching.  I know people may not like this if they romanced him, but you knew long before the option for romance was even on the table that he had less then a year to live. 

I can't see anyway to save him that would be legitimate without a lot of effort on the part of Shepard and other's like Mordin working closely with Hanar to speed up a cure.  This would come as a great sacrafice as well, as the time spent saving Thane is time spent not fighting the Reaper's or looking for ways to defeat them.

Would be interesting if the time spent to save Thane randomly caused the destruction of a planet, chosen at the time your saving Thane, but not letting you know which one until the end, so you have to replay the whole game to get a different result rather then hit the reload button.  That is a bit extreme, but its an example of how big a sacrafice should be made for something that is so character defining in ME2, and all romaning Shep's are well aware of before making the decision. 

I also just think it would be funny if  Shep saves Thane and is all happy only to have earth destroyed 30 gameplay hours later because of the decision. Don't hate me this is a joke...mostly.

[Tootles FTW]

I think it is very possible to cure Kepler's Syndrome, Thane just wasn't interested at the start of ME2 in looking for one. The codex stated that about a century ago the hanar discovered the drell and began moving them over to Kahje. Considering this timespan I would think that Kepler's Syndrome is a relatively new disease to the scientific community, and it seems like the hanar have been trying to deal with it on their own (and since when are the hanar known for their scientific acumen??).



If Thane was actually motivated (and a LI in ME2 would do this) he could speak to Mordin about it (hell, ANY Salarian). The disease itself sounds like a degenerative respiratory issue...human diseases of this nature (pneumonia) are treatable, and I have faith in Mordin. It would be completely unfair to the female fans if Bioware goes to the trouble of creating Thane for the SOLE PURPOSE OF BEING AN ALIEN ROMANCE just to kill him off.



Thane Cure DLC, k thnx bye!
