it does sound really hard to believe that they would make extensive DLC that anyone who didn't save Thane couldn't use. that would lead to 100 page threads of whinespam.

Most people try to save all of their teammates. Female players who liked Thane as a romance certainly saved him. The DLC doesn't have to need Thane to be alive. It could just have curing thane as a bonus.

My thoughts? It's a mission. Probably not an out right cure for Thane if they go that route, so maybe it's a hint of one? Or how you're going to find it in ME3?

(This FemShep would be happy to see another damn female that's not a quarian/asari... but that's just this FemShep...)



It's probably a safe bet that this is LI related... I have absolutely no interest in cloths... or shoes.

Maybe it's pets?

Maybe it's more post Omega 4 lines... something to be able to cont the relationships into ME3?

Hell, maybe it's got something to do with the Hanar/Thane or that new chicken race that sounds like they'll look like different types of quarians (I can't remember what they're called... Raoli?)



Who knows. If it's something for Thane, that'll make two of my 5 saves much more interesting. But if it's JUST for Thane... my dreams of a shirtless Garrus (FOR SCIENCE!) will cry in the corner.

I guess more what I was saying is that I would prefer DLC that was more central story related rather than squadmate centric. 

We still don't know the specifics. The DLC could very well be "central story related" but also cure Thane somewhere down the line.

and Black Transgendered Jack.

WTF? Never heard this one.

Hahaha, you missed it? Probably for the best.  It was a forum scandal for weeks. I'm sure there are still people around here who refuse to believe that Jack is female.

I'm not arguing with anyone.  I am just going by what chatter I have seen in the forums here.  Of course there is exceptions, but the general idea that I have percieved is that the girl gamers don't seem to be satisfied with current male squad LI's in ME2.

Mr. Dollar, I'd like to point you to the Neck Snap Appreciation Society group here.

Thane was received very well by a large number of female (and male, straight or otherwise) gamers. We just don't talk as much outside the groups, as the disgruntled cries of 'emo, Carth, etc' get tiresome. Because a man showing any emotion other than humor or badass-ery is totally emo, didn't you know? I pay very little attention to the threads outside the NSAS anymore, unless it's something of particular interest, as this particular topic is.

The only LI that didn't seem to go over well from what I've read was poor Jacob, and that's not because he was so very bad, but more because he was kind of fade-into-the-wall bland.

Yes Mam

You know... I've never played KotOR... so I have no idea who this Carth guy is.  There's probably more ladies out there like that then you might think.  So Thane's story was actually new to me.  Kind of cool.
(Still a Garrus girl at heart though )

This Thane fangirl will add her voice of support to your desires for a shirtless Garrus. Because I also like Garrus a lot. I may romance him yet, in one save or other, if I can manage to *not* go into Life Support for once.

Edit/aside: The Carth/emo commentary was sarcasm. I love Thane. He is not emo in the least. I was mocking those who've brought it up. Besides, the 'emo' insult really has gotten rather hackneyed.

It fits the ticket, I mean... the only problem I see is fitting it in with the lore. How do you cure one fan favorite from a disease that effects many drell and that has many hanhar scientists stumped on how to cure it? As for the rest though...

Mordin is hax. Seriously, when Thane was all, 'ooh, the best hanar scientists couldn't figure out how to cure it' I wanted an option to shake him and say 'You don't understand how epic Mordin is. Bro is curing the krogan genophage on his goddamn lunch break.' (Renegade option: 'The hanar are working on it? What's a BIG STUPID JELLYFISH gonna do?')

The thing about any Thane DLC is that they're just going to complicate matters further for any appearance of his in ME3.
For him to be in ME3, not only will you have had to have kept him alive during the suicide mission, you will have had to have downloaded and played the DLC.
But hey if BioWare want to add even more unecesarry headaches for the next game, whatever.

I dunno, if you don't get the DLC it just gives you a default outcome in ME3.  If Thane is alive for you, the game assumes you cured him.  If he's not alive, well it doesn't really matter...

Seriously. I doubt the Hanar scientist have anything on the Salarians, especially Mordin. That part seemed kind of stupid to me.

I think Carth was like Kaiden if remember correctly.  I don't know it's been a while.

Not really seeing this. Same voice actor is irrevalent. Unless you mean the "whining" that some people think both of them do. I'll give you that Carth was annoyingly distrustful of Revan, but not really seeing any whining on Kaidan's part.

Oooh, maybe they'll give Garrus and Thane magic shirts and chiseled abs like Jacob! That would almost make up for things.

Oh man, this drove me nuts. Mordin never even mentions it! You'd think he'd take an interest in something like that. Mordin, I thought you and my Shepard were bros. Bros.

I'd really like to see a drell that isn't a palette-swapped Thane, actually. Kolyat has a slightly different facial structure, but below the neck it's Thane with a blue tint, I was rather disappointed by that. Now whenever I do his loyalty mission it's all I can focus on.

scyphozoa wrote...

very good point, it could be Drell-DLC with a Thane-specific side-arc.

I was extremely disappointed that we only saw one other drell in the entire game, and encountered zero hanar NPCs. What a step back from ME1. The jellies are actually kind of interesting now.

Some kind of hanar/drell/something DLC would address all of that. Maybe we can visit a colony of some sort? I don't think we'll be going somewhere like Kahje or Rakhana, though that would be amazing.

The lady gamers would probably prefer to have a new squad mate that is a human male bad boy with a lot of confidence and a sense of humor rather than a cured Thane. Am I right?

We already have Garrus.

Huh? Thane and Garrus have a huge amount of fans, and even Kaiden has a dedicated fanbase of females. I'd say most female players are satisfied. Not all, but most.

The main thing that would make me "very very" happy is for BioWare's marketing department to acknowledge that I as a FemShep EXIST!    pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!  **cough cough** That aside…

Any return of the ME1 love interest would make a LOT of us very very happy.

Bachuck wrote...

I love Thane as a character, but I would prefer they stick to his illness as it adds a lot to his character. Finding a miraculous cure seems like a cop out.

Sadly, I agree.  I love Thane, but to find a cure seems simplistic.  As much as part of me wants to keeps Thane around, the rest of me knows much of his mystique comes from his tragedy.   If it were possible to save everyone, the emotional weight of the Mass Effect universe would be diminished.

[…P]erhaps the ability to replace Kelly with a male yeoman or something.

Oh please!  The one and only character I hated was Kelly.  And no way to kill her off without sacrificing the engineers!
