You guys are all on the wrong track.
The DLC in question replaces Jennifer Hale with Mark Meer doing a falsetto.
Now EVERYBODY can enjoy the canonical Shepard, no matter which gender they play as!

It's mostly because Bioware has hyped Thane as THE female romance; he's on the cover, they specifically designed him to appeal to women, he has the whole 'tragic love' vibe (...and then everyone liked Garrus better anyway. But that's neither here nor there).
Thanks for pointing that out, I always get confused when a forumite [Suron] writes a response like that, >.>enormousmoonboots wrote...

But that's neither here nor there). The most significant difference between male and female Shepard is the romances; combine these two items with the power of ~LOGIC~, and there ya go. It is jumping to conclusions a bit, but it's not totally out of left field. And that's all speculation really is, anyway.Suron wrote...
yah cause an obscure post on twitter about female chars liking a DLC mission just SCREAMS Thane right?
amirite?
it could mean anything....personally I like Garrus better then Thane....so I can twist it just like you and say it's related to Garrus.
Or I like Kaiden...and can twist it like you to say it MUST be Kaiden related..
etc..etc..etc.
cool little splurge to start speculation but....how in the hell can you point it towards any particular character???
oh that's right..you can't.

Ha, true. But they've made so many threads about Tali! I just don't understand why the devs would make a DLC specifically for Thane. He's only one character out of 10. Argh, I just can't be optimistic today!Tamyn wrote...
Well, I don't see any MaleSheps making five 80+ page threads about loving Thane... ;P
Xeyska: What inspired the creation of the Drell species?
CaseyH-ME2:
The creation of the Drell happened as part of coming up with a new love
interest that would be a male alien. We knew he'd be a stealthy
assassin, and would have to be attractive, so that presented a lot of
challenge to the art team. In the end, we created a look that worked
for Thane, but also became the basis for other Drell that you'll see in
the ME universe.

I think they're trying to keep some vague semblance of game time and real time, and Thane just happens to be the nearest stated deadline.
Either that or Kasumi really is the F/F love interest.

Hmm, I am no femshep but I do really want to cure Thane and liberate the Drell species from their dying world and their Hanar oppressors.

A rather tall order for DLC, no?

It did feel like they had made him an actual romance, while Garrus was more friends with benefits.

That's just what they want from the trailer.

Not sure why everyone assumes it must be about an LI anyway.

I agree. I don't think that she means a lesbian romance of any sort, instead probably something to do with existing romances. Unless there is some complication involving Garrus' romance (is there?) I imagine it's just DLC that involves curing Thane. I guess it could be something to do with Kaidan but one would think anything involving Kaidan would also involve Ashley.Maera Imrov wrote...
While she may be, I don't see how that will make femSheps 'very, very happy'.
Female gamer here, too. I thought I would like Thane (he has a nice smile), but his flashbacks creeped me out, and I was bewildered by his morals (so you're not in control of what you do...except when it's morally convenient? Cool story, bro. I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be justification to himself over all those years of assassinating or not, but since he resists all attempts to call him out on it, I'd guess not). I didn't find the Garrus relationship to be FWB-like at all; the dude clearly cares about FemShep, and he's plainly heartbroken if you reject him in the final scene.Tinnic wrote...

Well as a female gamer I have to say that in the beginning I made a beeline for Garrus because I had my eye on him since ME1 but the interaction with Garrus game out rather... awkward. But Thane! Wow! It did feel like they had made him an actual romance, while Garrus was more friends with benefits. I still like Garrus though. He's just fun to have around.

What really confuses me is that she states it will make FemSheps happy. Not ManShep. Not both. Why would BioWare release DLC content that favors one Shepard? Perhaps this DLC does offer equal content for both Shepards, but she specifically mentioned FemSheps because she plays one.

<-- FemShep player. Indifferent about Thane.
Not sure why everyone assumes it must be about an LI anyway. Personally a DLC that gave me a dance other than that insipid old man shuffle would make me very happy.scyphozoa wrote...

The thing that's supposed to make FemShep players happy is that this is the first time a BioWare developer has acknowledged the existance of FemShep since ME1.
