Thane fan? Think there should be an option for a cure? Come on in and vote!

Hi Thane fans!

I'm relatively new around here, but am working with the folks here on the Romance DLC Initiative, primarily as the person coordinating things over on BSN.

A couple of weeks ago I put out a few polls on BSN to gauge interest in the Romance DLC; one of the questions asked which ME2 romance people thought was most mistreated (and in most need of improvement) in ME3. Thane won by a margin of twelve percentage points, which is relatively substantial. In addition, an "option to cure Thane" has been a relatively common suggestion in the Romance DLC thread, from romancers and non-romancers, alike.

I'd like to see if HTL fans feel the same about Thane, so I thought I'd put up a poll here, as well. Therefore, if you are so inclined, please select the option that best describes how you feel about our favorite drell assassin.

If you want to support Thane further, please visit the #SaveThane thread on HTL.

Also, don't forget to vote in the Romance DLC Survey, which ends this Saturday!

Thanks

Well...

*ehem* *points to sig*

I guess it's probably obvious which choice I chose...no?

Cortez?

Nah, I prefer the lean, green drell with the dark green eyes

Not to mention the hallucinations! And...<ridges>!

Nothing against Cortez, I liked him, but he aint Thane!

I think my "Shirt" says much....just like Emeralds sigs.

*a ME version of "A Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"*
THAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE!

I'm honestly surprised BioWare didn't cure Thane after all of the fan support prior to ME3. Well...then again I guess he got as much attention as everything else...not enough. I may be somewhat indifferent about Thane as a character but you'd have to be a heartless jerk not to at least give credit where credit is due to the fans.

*sigh* Thane. I miss ME2 Thane, well he was a deep well written character. I cannot even fathom what they were thinking, if indeed that did occur, when they wrote his "story line" for ME3. Especially after all the foreshadowing they now deny.

i miss him so much

there should definetly be an option to save him...

just made a account in here to be able to vote ^^'

There should definitely be an option to cure him. You're able to save Mordin, Jack, Miranda, Tali and Ashley... To exclude Thane from this, especially as a character that is an LI, is a disservice to fans.

Voted for a cure for Thane!

GOD I love him!
He deserves a cure...the drell deserve a cure!
To give us all that hope of a cure or transplant....and then they just kill him off by some ninja wannabe is low! You don't even have a chance to save him!
I agree with firel all the others get a chance to be saved...except Thane and that is cruel!

Yes. Thane definitely needs a cure. I don't see why it shouldn't be an option, all the other characters had it (except Legion).

Giving Thane a cure through DLC will go a long way for me to even think about touching ME3 again. As it is, there's no damn point in playing again when my favorite character and my Shepard's love interest get treated so poorly.

I want the old Thane back. >:

Thane deserves a cure! I know some people prefer him to die honorably rather than slowly to the beeps of machines hooked up to him, being confined to a hospital bed. I like it too but I always romance Thane in every play-through with my femshep and I wish I get to see him more in ME3. We only got to have a small chat with him in the hospital after not seeing each other for like 6 months. There was no final love scene before the epic battle. No last touching goodbye on the battlefield as they stare into each others eyes to confess their love to each other, like Garrus, Tali, Kaiden, Liara and Ashley. Im not saying Thane is the only one worthy of this right but all of the love interests should be able to go out with a great last goodbye too. This is the last of the series as they say. So we want to have a satisfied feeling of saying goodbye. For the Sihas is having the option to have a cure for Thane. Those who want him to die a noble hero can just not choose to gather ingredients for the Cure mission. Bioware was saying they made this game where we had so many decisions. Why not this small one?

Thane is a great, well developed, intriguing character. Bioware, you can still do so much with him in the Mass Effect universe. You can have him be like Wrex, where you choose for him to live or die. He'll reappear in minor missions and you can talk to him like in ME2 and ME3 in Tuchunka. You helped him with the Genophage. Thane should have something with the drells owing their debt to the hanar. Thane is not much of a leader but you can have Kolyat make his father proud. Have Kolyat be the only good he brought into this world.

I miss Thane. I honestly don't understand how they could do that to him.

Thanks to all the people signing up just to vote in the poll

There should have been a choice and I agree with Gmandam that it would have been best if it was not a straight forward cure/not cure choice, something less obvious would have been best.

While I'm a staunch supporter of a cure for Kepral's, I do think it should come with some kind of consequence.

As in making the player work for it, wether that would mean through combat, moral dilemma, past choice, or preferrably, all three of them.

I mean, since when hasn't choices in ME1/ME2 had a consequence of some kind?*
And as such, actually encouraged re-playing the game?

/* Yes, yes, I know: "le ending of ze starchild plothole with RGB choices", we all know how much choices/consequences were present there...

But, the other plots in ME3 actually did (most of the time) have some kind of reflection on choices from ME1/ME2, and having that fact extended to curing Kepral's would be a good thing imo.

Just my 2'cs.

Must....have...more...votes!

Voted no even though Thane's one of my fave chars.

Thane's death was actually something BioWare pulled of flawlessly in my opinion. Superb writing. I'd hate to see the predicament that made his character get retconned.

I would rather some other characters from ME2 get some more screentime or see some improvements.

Edit~
Awh, was that really enough to warrant disagree ratings? ;-;
