I've been waiting for someone else to start a Thane thread. After a few days, seeing that nobody was up for it, I started considering whether or not I should do it and how should I do it. I'm a lurker, I've never started a thread. I wondered what would should I post in the OP, what should the title be. I searched the internet for an image to post and a quote to use... after four years of not touching Mass Effect... I got upset. After four years, the fate of a videogame character stills upsets me. Call me silly. I didn't want to start a thread anymore. I kept staring at the forum for a while. Garrus, Kasumi, Jack, Kaidan and others, but no Thane. It was as if he never existed. That was not fair. "It's difficult. All things worth keeping are" So here I am, because he deserves to be remembered. Illustrations/Screenshots Comics Videos

The Thane thread's got some catching up to do! Don't feel bad! Have you ever had to use the Thane mods? They were extensive!

I must admit I only played ME3 once ( with a Shepard loyal to Kaidan ). Besides Thane there where other things that rubbed me the wrong way, so even if I embraced the indoctrination theory I didn't feel like playing, add to that your usual daily life and I haven't touched the game in four years. Funny that closing the BSN would make me go all nostalgic and pick up the game again, I'm playing with my Garrusmancing Shepard though, no Extended Cut. Not sure what I will do with my Thanemancing Shepard... I should take a look at those mods More Thane!! Off to bed for me!!

Thanks abnocte...I mentioned in the Intro thread...no Thane, no Jacob ( Jacob we can do without)... But not THANE...Thanks so much for doing this. Fill the OP with art...lots and lots of steamy art...just a suggestion of course. Cheers! Should someone do a fan thread for Jacob? I know he's written to do...that. But I never saw that as a natural part of his arc. It was just so blatantly obvious that cutbacks were made since he wasn't as popular as other romances. The whacky dialogue just screams,"WE RAN OUT OF TIME", the same as Thane's neglected romance.

“Kalahira, mistress of inscrutable depths, I ask forgiveness. Kalahira, whose waves wear down stone and sand-- Kalahira, wash the sins from this one, and set him on the distant shore of the infinite spirit.” “Kalahira, this one's heart is pure, but beset by wickedness and contention. Guide this one to where the traveler never tires, the lover never leaves, the hungry never starve. Guide this one, Kalahira, and s/he will be a companion to you as s/he was to me.” Pic very related. Every time.

I updated the OP with a couple of illustrations and comics. Please feel free to make suggestions. So... anyone has a favourite quote by Thane? With that voice its difficult for me no to love everything he says but for now I will pick these... Thane: “Siha.” Someday I’ll tell you what it means. Me: Shepard: You don’t act like a dying man.
Thane: You have the advantage there, Shepard. You’ve already died. Perhaps later you can give me some suggestions.
Me: ROLF Thane: When a memory feels as real as life, it's as valid as life. Thinking about a moment brings back the smell of cut grass, the warmth of another's hand on yours, the taste of another's tongue in your mouth. Wouldn't you rather lose yourself in such a memory then spend the night alone, staring at walls of metal and plastic?
Me: too much information... next time I go to Life support I will make sure to knock the door first... just in case...

Stopping in to show Thane some love...still makes me all teary. You and me both! I'm currently playing my Garrusmancing Shep and yesterday I went through Thane final moments. It made me wonder whether Bioware are masters at getting players emotionally attached to their characters or I'm just part of a subset of the population that is very touchy...

I was...so disappointed in how they killed him off that I have a terrible time romancing him, now. He deserved so much better than to fall in a fight he could easily have won. Players who romanced him deserved a more personalized death scene. Knowing I will never have any resolution to his character makes it hard to want to start. Which is not to say I cannot appreciate that amazing voice. I wrote my own goodbye for him and have decided to stick with that as my head cannon as it removes him from ME3 as a plot device rather than a character and gives him some dignity. [sigh] Thane is deliciousness made for feels and then forgotten on the back burner to boil away to nothing. The wasted potential of his character sad.

Argh!, let's not dwell too much on it. Lets focus on the good things, like you said he has an amazing voice... others seem to agree with us I also love the things he says, the way he expresses himself... Keythe Farley did a wonderful job bringing him to life. I could listen to him all day...

It's hard to go through a romance that only has one negative outcome and no other way around it. I miss Mordin, but I won't change my game state. His sacrifice was touching and fit his story. And yet, I'm happy with it because I also had a choice to have Mordin alive. That option came with trade-offs but it was an option. Knowing he could be alive didn't take away from my playthrough. I don't believe Thane having an option to be alive and treated for his Kepral's would have diminished his story for those who preferred his sacrifice with Kai Leng. (Also, what happened to JadePhoenix? Is she ok?)

I didn't play any romance with him, but I have to say the Citadel stuff made me tear up. So I think they made up for it. But like many things, it's too bad they didn't care to put it in the game to begin with.

*hugs Thane* His romance scene is so moving...it is perfect up to the point Shepard opens her mouth and says "Be alive with me tonight" Shepy, my dear, your poetry skills fail and fall into Harbinger's level of "I know you feel this" and "Assuming direct control" *sigh*

"I spend the last two years here. I had a purpose, a goal. Now that I've accomplished it, something occurs to me. I all that time, I never looked at the horizon. It is... spectacular." Sorry to derail from the Thane love but that line right there made me wonder as to the limits with Drell memory. For all the reputation as to them possessing near perfect memory, what they remember seems limited by what they pay attention to.
