I did too. I thought by now they'd have made some kind of patch to fix the ending... and I don't mean the Citadel DLC (which although good, didn't make Thane's death any easier).

I agree. It just sort of felt half done. There could have been so much we could have done for him. Hell I bet him being on the Normandy would have been minimal issues. Chakwas could have helped Medicaid him while we were out. He could have been in our room waiting for us, we could have had so many talks with him between missions. Hrgn. bah, well such is how it goes. It was a lovely romance shame it ended so quickly.

Thane deserved so much more than he was given. It's like they forgot he was a love interest. Or that he was is a creature of emotions just like any other and would act accordingly. I think that if you romanced him, he would be more inclined to fight Kepral's. And I especially don't think he'd sit in some hospital a few star-systems away dwindling away as Shep is locked up on Earth. They treated his character poorly... The least he and Shep deserve is to be re-united at death. <3

Exactly. I don't rally even understand why Shepard sat under house arrest for 6 months without doing ANYTHING to act, and same with some of the squad mates. But especially Thane, didn't he say something about not wanting to spend his last days in a hospital bed? Or maybe not... but yeah there are so many character related things I feel irritated with BioWare for, but Thane's treatment is just ridiculous.

I'm not sure what's worse... The fact that with Thane as your LI you basically ignore him while on earth... or during the Kai Leng part she's just like 'oh, well, gollie gee. Bbl, kthx' e_e Christ, the first time I played I was male!Shep and at that point hadn't even romanced Thane and I was screaming and cussing at Kai Leng and screaming at the game that I could care less about the council and wanted to stay with Thane. But nooooo. Shep's just like "k". -facepalm-

I KNOW~~ DX I was like "SRSLY YOU'RE GOING TO LEAVE HIM?/NOT GOING TO LEAVE SOMEONE BEHIND TO GET HELP AT LEAST?!" Then from there on I took out my rage on every enemy we happened upon thinking "I HAVE TO GET TO THE END OF THIS BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY THIS IS HOW THEY KILL HIM RIGHT?" ...oh silly me. But yeah... and with other character deaths, they at least die for something truly important and the greater good, beautiful deaths if you will... but Thane? He dies saving a councilor I didn't give two shits about (and in fact wanted to punch in the face, much like the council in general), in fact I'm pretty sure no one gave HALF a shit about them. And I almost felt like it was insult to injury when Bailey tells you to let him know the councilor survived because of him.. I'm just like "DON'T CARE, SAVE MY DRELL NAO PLZ"

I think it was their way of giving Thane an "honorable" death. Bioware maybe couldn't find a successful way to "cure" Kerpal's syndrome. Instead of having him die in a hospital bed (which he does anyways -_-) a few months later from it, he.. dies sooner.. because the injury he received intensified his condition. I don't like it. I don't agree with it. I think it was cheap and undermined his character. Although, it did touch my heart to hear him pray for Shepard (even non-romance Shep) and to see Kolyat there at his side. Although I almost smacked Kolyat when he was like "I don't know if you remember me..." Of course I remember you, dumbass e_e

I think they should come out with a DLC where you can find a cure for Thane. Or gather a bunch of scientists, resources and money where you create your own Lazarus project for Thane :'D

I always imagine they were like:

"HAY GAIZ DEADLINE IS TOMORROW!"
"WAIT WE DIDN'T FINISH DUDE THANE'S STORY YET."
"... ::insert Thane here::"

I feel like I've read fanfiction now that has so many creative/clever ways Thane could have been saved, it makes me glare at BioWare and its teams of writers. XD I just feel like, if one horny Thane fangirl (<~ said with all love and respect XD) in a dark room can figure out an interesting plot idea, a TEAM of PROFESSIONAL writers should have too... dammit. XD But lol! Yeah I wanted to smack him too, but seeing as nobody else on the Normandy could even remember Thane existed ever maybe Kolyat was right to ask. e_e But yeah the prayer was amazing, I was balling my eyes out. XD

INDEED~ I feel like Thane deserves a cure, or at the very least a better death. Even if it never happens, in my head canon, my Shepard spent that 6 months in between games holding a team of scientists hostage until they found a cure, or grew new lungs for Thane. THIS IS THE FUTURE DAMMIT, WE SHOULD BE ORGAN FARMING BY NOW RIGHT?

I'm going to be one of those creepy fans that writes weird romance!Thane stories. Playing with an idea of making a cure. See if it'll fit in the plot. In any case, yes. Professional writers should have been able to come up with something that made sense. I just could not wrap my head around Thane's entire existence during Shep's lockup. It made no sense. "I'm sorry, the one that makes me feel complete again is locked up on earth, facing a trial of treason? Bah, whatever. I think I'll go and sit around on the Citadel and just wait around to die."

What really...freaks me out though... at the end... All I could think is Oh my fucking God, I hope Kolyat is not on the fucking Citadel. Among other atrocities that was the ending of ME3. Namely, the complete mindfuck given.

Hahaha yes, at this point I'm just a creeper who reads them, but I too have plotted ideas in my head lol. IKR? I feel like even if you didn't romance him, he would have been one of your ship mates that stuck by you. He's a stealthy man, he totally could have snuck into Shepard's room for company.. and.. things. XD But yeah they just utterly and completely dropped the ball. Also, on a lighter note, I am bitter at BioWare for ruining my grand slutty scheme.. as I had thought that if they killed Thane in ME3, my Shepard would go grieving into Garrus' waiting arms and they would end up together. XD But noooo, they made it so it could only be if you romanced him in 2 (I luckily have dual saves in one where my shep is with thane and the other garrus XD)... so my poor Shep (or rather, me XD) just sat bitterly alone with no one remembering Thane, and then I had to watch Tali and Garrus get together for extra salt on the wound. XD I found myself going from "Ohoho, Tali. " to "I'M GOING TO POISON HER WITH AIR. +_+"

Also I wish you could have had at least one mission with each squadmate where they were in your party if they weren't rejoining you on the Normandy... I was so dissatisfied with the tiny crew. =_= And srsly, we should have gotten a female krogan on the team (since Eve/Bakara was sick maybe not her, BUT ANOTHER ONE). Y U NO DO BIOWARE?!

But yeah OMG. The end, I was just feeling so panicked about everyone's safety. Especially upon landing..or beaming..whatever... onto the Citadel. D: With Kolyat, I think I hoped he had returned to Kahje with Thane's body to bury/sink him. T~T But I worried for Bailey and the refugees and others. Yeah ugh the end. Even if the Indoctrination Theory (which I think is pretty fascinating) turns out to be true, it still means BioWare didn't give us a real ending. With the new DLC even, I find myself feeling more terrified it'll somehow make things worse. Like when I saw a couple of names of VA's they had brought in to record, somehow my stomach sank... I'm trying to remain safely pessimistic so I don't go through the trauma again but ugh. DX

My first few playthroughs with my fem!Shep I actually avoided Thane. I kind of felt like I was taking advantage of him and his loneliness so I sorta skirted around him and went straight for Garrus. Garrus had an amazing romance in two and especially three. But after romancing Thane I won't be able to romance Garrus ever again. Thane is just... I don't know. Something about him captured my heart. It may be avoiding Garrus now because I know how everything ends and I hate leaving him. At least with Thane I have the blissfully ignorant belief that I meet him across the sea in some eternal peace.

The crew in ME3 is really crappy. I think I brought mostly Garrus and Liara with me, because they were familiar and useful. Everyone else... meh. I can't believe we don't even get a krogan for ME3. I mean, like... any krogan. I was kinda stunned Grunt or Wrex didn't join me officially. And, Tali took god damn forever to show up. I gave up on her romance with my male!Shep because I was sick of waiting for her--and not even knowing if we were still together. So I romanced Kaidan. Then like, a mission later Garrus and Tali are macking on each other and I was like... "Tali, I should hate you right now for getting over me so fast, but I guess I'm banging Alenko... so we're even?" I think I was more mad at Garrus for blind-siding me like that lol

I'm... very worried about the "extended" ending. Honestly, the indoctrination theory is the only thing that makes sense, but Hudson has already claimed that it's the incorrect conclusion. Which makes absolutely no sense to me. I mean.. I always pick the "red" ending. My mentality was "I came here to kill the reapers, so that's what I'm gonna do." And for some reason... destroying all synthetics is the only one you live in? Isn't Shepard glued together with synthetics? Didn't the Catalyst make the point that you would die from this option because of said synthetics holding you together? Either it's a massive oversight, or it's the product of overcoming indoctrination. And in that case, you should be dusting yourself off and continuing the fight.

All I really wanted in the ending was to see if my decisions matter. A glimpse of seeing the geth and quarians working together, krogan and turian fighting side by side on earth, asari commandos fucking up reapers... My crew working together to destroy enemies. Not that... bullshit cut to credits crap and some douchebag talking about "the Shepard". That was the worst part. Totally discredited everything I had done. I could not believe the shallowness of that ending. Or the awful voice acting for it.

(btw I'm so sorry for spamming up your picture with our convo, but I can't seem to rant and commiserate enough with people about ME3 XD)

Yeah in a way I feel a bit selfish in either case, but I love both of them so much it's impossible (which is why we should just be a threesome, yes). With Thane I wonder tho, even though he said he hoped to see Shepard across the sea, what about Irikah? :< Does Thane's soul perhaps split so he is one with both Irikah and Shepard? Or did Shepard really overshadow Irikah and he truly wishes moreso to be with her? D: I've been considering writing a self serving crappy fanfic in which Thane would still unfortunately pass (in a situation way better than ME3 XP), and in between missions and brief moments when my FemShep could grieve she could wonder that herself... and then somehow the Garrus romance could work itself into it and then Shepard could really wonder then, would she meet Thane across the sea or Garrus in the bar? XD; (again, THREESOME?) Decisions...

Seriously. Again I just glare at Bioware and their "We wanted to focus on a smaller more intimate crew" ... of the most boring characters. Yeah Garrus pretty much always came with me, then it was a toss up between Liara and Javik mostly.. then I was taking Tali with me but when I noticed the flirting I was like "AW HELL NAH" and kept trying to keep them separated, in vain. XD But yeah I was very much disappoint with the lack of krogan. >/ I was SO excited about Bakara, because I was almost positive it was opening the door for a femkrogan squadmate... but no. At the very least I wanted my tube baby back with me, but when Javik took his room I was like "NUUU WHERE'S MAH BABY SUPPOSED TO SLEEP?" XD

Yeah exactly! To me none of the endings make any sense, which is one of the many reasons it's so incredibly frustrating to me. DX And I was so pissed about the red ending destroying ALL synthetics, because I had truly believed in making the truce between the quarian and geth, and to think the geth would be a casualty after all the work and Legion's sacrifice I was super pissed.

But yeah the biggest slap in the face is the feeling that everything you did doesn't change anything. And what you do see in the ending cut scene.. wtf. DX I don't see any of this "artistic integrity" bioware is harping on protecting.

Oh, I don't mind at all. My best friend "liked" the ending, so whenever I complain about it to him I feel bad since he's just like "Okay." He's not good at having dialogue about such things XD Although, it's great finding someone that hates the ending too /dick

You know, I wondered about the whole Irikah thing too. I had this really awkward thought of Thane like.. meeting Irikah across the sea... they're all lovey dovey.. then Shep dies and Thane's like "Um... excuse me, sweetheart. I'll be right back." And then this sudden comical afterlife of having two secret lives.... Or he may just end up being one lucky sonnavabitch and get to have two soulmates. And one hella threesome >>; I read in a fanfic somewhere (that I'm sure was made up by the author) that it is not uncommon for drell to have like... a group of three that are soulmates. I'd like to think Thane wouldn't have to suffer for having two "soulmates." I mean... honestly, he spent ten years grieving for Irikah. In no way did he move on lightly and he deserved a second chance at happiness... It is definitely an interesting thought though. But perhaps the two spirit thing is a good theory. Though I can see how that is like splitting the soul and kinda bad... I am thinking too hard about it. e_e

Smaller intimate crew lol Right now, thinking off the top of my head... I remember Garrus, EDI, Liara... Javik... Tali... Ash/Kaidan... and that's it. I think I'm missing someone... Jacob... John... James? And I've beaten the third game four times... All I know is that I never used EDI, James, Tali and hardly Kaidan. Tali I found to be incredibly fucking boring in ME3. Which was a huge let down for me since I loved her in ME2. I don't see why Samara, Grunt and Miranda couldn't rejoin after you did their little side-mission. It was really stupid.

I loved Legion. He is one of my favorites characters. I was so god damn pissed off when I realized I had to destroy all synthetic life. I mean, honestly, the first time I played and the catalyst was like blah blah blah blah blah at me, by the time he was finished I had no fucking clue what he was talking about. I assumed I was going to be disregarding everything he said and end the game as each game had happened--on my terms. I initially went right with the intentions of destroying the generator on the right, then moving to the left and destroying the controls then drop-kicking the catalyst into the middle or something... and then I got locked into the destroy option and I was.. livid. It was so unclear. And so rushed. Ugh. THAT ENDING. -claws face- D<

Haha yeah one of my best friends didn't entirely hate it as much as me and often tries to defend BioWare, but I will have none of it!

Haha yeah my Shepard was kinda a slut anyway, so I'm sure she wouldn't mind banging Irikah too... but it still makes me think~ Also as far as afterlives I kinda like to think there's reincarnation too maybe if a soul chooses so... I dunno the possibilities are endless. XD But yeah I just really wondered if there'd be an awkward party at the other end of the sea or what. >> << Also there's a fanart somewheres here on devart of Thane and Mordin waiting together on a beach (since Mordin suggested wanting to collect seashells XD).. so I was like awww maybe everyone just gets to have an awesome beach party afterlife. :'<

Yeah I just really don't understand how they could go from such a diverse and amazing crew in ME2 to what they gave you in ME3 and consider it a step up. :/ It just frustrated me to no end that I couldn't have my dirty dozen back, or at least SOME of them. OR FEMALE KROGAN.

I honestly love most of the ME characters, but Legion definitely has a special place in my heart. :'< But yeah I barely was able to register what the stupid God kid told me, and all I could think was that I must have done something wrong along the way cuz none of those options could possibly be "the good ending" right. And just how Shepard just stood there and took it without even an argument or fight, it was so unlike her/him, I don't care if you played full Paragon, Renegade or something in between... I just felt like it was so wrong at the basest level of Shepard's being to just accept what was given. God. I just can't rage hard enough.

LOL, funny story. When I beat ME3 for the first time, I was ranting and raving and pissed off as all hell. I told my friend I had just gotten "the bad/worst ending" and I must've forgotten to do something/fucked up on the decision and better rebeat the entire game and paragon with perfection. I wasn't able to use the last paragon in the dialogue with the Illusive Man and so I assumed that was why my ending sucked so freakin' hard. And then I looked up on the internet to see what the shit I did wrong.. and apparently I had gotten the "best" ending. I about rage quit Bioware right there.

I'm kinda disappointed in the female krogan, although, I warmed up to her a lot more when I played with my fem!Shep since she was more like 'high-five ' to me. I woulda loved to fight with one though. Maybe they'll add female krogan to multiplayer eventually. I really want a female drell too... /dork

Oh... Legion. For my fem!Shep my ME1 corrupted so I was forced to create a new character and take all the dick renegade options. So when it came to the Legion/Quarian thing... I had to betray Legion. My heart broke into tiny little pieces as he was dying and asking "Does this unit have a...?" BAWLED. I had never hated myself so much playing a game before. And I hate the quarians as it is... but, I figured since I destroy synthetics anyways, I might as well kill only one race instead of two... still.. UGGGGH.

LOL yeah after I looked up what I had done wrong (I was still just standing there in the crucible), I just sat there in shock for almost an hour then turned off the game and went to bed where I raged at the injustice of it all until I finally passed out. XD

OMG yeah a female drell or /gasp turian would be amazing for ME3MP. I'm so irritated at the lack of new fem characters in this last DLC pack I don't even want to try out the adept guy I unlocked (tho his powers look pretty badass). XD Also, I'm confused why they made a drell a vanguard as opposed to an infiltrator, which would make more sense considering all the ones trained by the hanar to be assassins right? ._. And I feel like the drell are so fragile with their low HP and shields, I feel like I'm constantly on the verge of dying lol (another reason I'm like WTF why are you a vanguard if you can't even handle the DANGER of biotic rushing? XD).

Oh no that's terrible!! D': I could just never do a game all paragon or renegade, cuz either it's boring or I'd be attacking my TV like "SHEPARD YOU MOTHERFUCKER I'LL KILL YOOOOUUUU!!!!!!" XD I messed up the first time and stupidly did that mission too soon so I didn't have enough points to save both races, but I ended up siding with the geth because I just felt the quarian were wrong and couldn't stand by their decision... then Tali goes and offs herself and I was like "TALI WAT, WTF."

Oh my dear God, I finally got a drell vanguard. He is so god damn worthless. Every single time I charge I go down. It is the most frustratingly annoying thing I have ever experienced. I literally only charge when I know there's only that one guy in the vicinity or I'm desperate for my barrier to recharged. It's a sad-day when you equip a sniper-rifle for a vanguard lol I remember thinking how freakin' stupid it was that the drell were vanguards charging in like god damn krogan. I have the hardest time keeping my barrier/health up with my drell adept as it is sniping from half-way across the level. He should be an infiltrator. For serious. And have like something similar to shadow-strike instead of cloak or something. XD

The first time I played mass effect I chose whatever I wanted since I had no idea top was paragon and bottom was renegade... so I was all confused as to how to get paragon/renegade until my third or fourth playthrough. I'm so lame XD I do admit though, I'm more half and half than full-on-paragon if I really chose what I wanted. Sometimes it's so hard being paragon e_e

Ha yeah it's like Paragon can be so boring, and Renegade is just terrible... I just pick and choose how I really feel about something, so I end up about half Paragon and half Renegade... a Paragade if you will. XD

Renegade actually made sense to me in the first game. You were actually a badass. In two it was a combination of being an outright dick and being a badass. In the third game it was just being a complete and utter douchebag with no common sense. I started my renegade female on the third game and stopped about a fourth of the way into the game and restarted her as a paragon because I simply could not stomach the bullshit "renegade" choices. I mostly felt extreme guilt over destroying the hanar/drell homeworld.... I never played kasumi's mission on that particular character so I didn't have her to smooth everything out.. and it was just gnawing at me. Then I saw what happens to Mordin and Samara as a renegade and I was like "yeah, I'm done. Paragon'ing it up D<" Not that it matters if you are renegade or paragon anyways, since you get the exact. same. ending. D<

Hm I can see that... I actually haven't gotten to play all the way through ME1 as I lack an X-Box and my computer is too ancient to handle much of anything lol. But I did get to play the first 4 or 5 hours at a friends house when I visited from out of town, and I was choosing mostly Renegade options but I thought maybe it was due to my jet lag and not wanting to take anyone's shit even in a video game. XD But yeah thinking about it,I don't think I made many renegade choices in ME3... definitely not anything major anyway (I definitely shot the shit out of Udina tho, and I think TIM too...). But ugh yeah out of curiosity I watched the renegade Mordin scene and I couldn't handle it. DX I couldn't believe Shepard could betray one of his/her teammates (or technically three since he's betraying Wrex and Grunt and the Krogan) like that, wth.

Haha IKR? I have so little faith in Bioware these days I'm expecting it to be like two new human females to go with the new male adept/vanguards or something. =_= But man, imagine a female drell infiltrator?

As much as I adore Mass Effect 1, I cannot play that game ever again. The controls give me a migraine within ten minutes of playing. It is the most wacky and effed up controls I've ever experienced. Going from ME1 to ME2 to ME3 is fine--you just notice the improvements. Going from ME2/3 to ME1... God... I tried so hard. So damn hard. It was easier to buy the 4.99 Genesis DLC so I wouldn't keep getting stupid renegade options lol and Yeah... my first playthrough I shot Udina, stabbed Kai Lang, and shot the Illusive Man. And then I didn't have enough paragon at the end to choose the last paragon option (the one to save TIM, I think)... and so he ended up killing Anderson so I flipped my shit and shot him. So... I have resisted the temptation to hit renegade for those three. Only one time have I paragon Kai Lang, but he gets stabbed in the same way with the same dialogue if I recall... So I STAB HIM EVERY TIME NOW. D<

I actually really like the vorcha! My friend and I are such tards for the side-characters. When we heard about vorcha were were chanting 'vorcha vorcha!' like dummies. The vorcha is really creepy though.. with his little scuttle. T-T

Haha yeah dear lord.. the brief time I played it was of course after I finished 2 and 3, so besides already being unfamiliar with the X-Box controller the added confusion of the wonky controls I was shooting like everywhere but at an enemy, so I did a lot of running like a chicken without a head praying I would hit something before I died. XD I can't even remember if there was melee... if there was I was most likely just trying to beat things to death since I couldn't shoot worth a shit lol. It had me wondering if I actually had tried ME1 if I would have stuck with it long enough to like it, let alone play the sequels. >> << Lol for Kai Leng, I wish it could have been like in God of War where I could just keep stabbing/punching/anything to him until the screen turned red. +_+ I was on such a single minded war path to destroy him stabbing him just once wasn't enough to satisfy my need for vengeance for Thane.

Haha I unlocked both Vorcha now but I haven't tried them yet... I love my krogans and turians too much~ But lol yeah anytime I'm on a team with one and they're near me with their scary grunting and breathing I'm just crying inside and thinking "If I die, he's going to eat me, I just know it. T__T" Once I try them I'll probably like them... cuz even with the batarians I was like "WTF WHY DX," but I decided my Batarians were a gay couple named Barnaby and Bart Batarian and gave them painfully bright armor and loved them after that. XD But then I unlocked the krogan and turian and I've neglected the poor guys lol.

I think there is a melee.... but it's just a really awkward looking pistol whip that ends up being more elbow than anything. When I tried to pick up one of my renegade fem!Shep games in mid-game... I went to fight... could not figure out for the life of me how to shoot properly--and I forgot you couldn't roll in that game.. so I ended up sprinting through some stupid base doing some awkward elbow slapping. I was knocking them around enough that my squadmates (that I directed possessively over and over to attack) would finally kill them... but, good lord.. It was a disaster.

That one stab wasn't good enough for me either--but I was impressed that Shepard actually freaking remembered Thane had died. No one even mentions it--aside from I think Garrus who offhandedly remarks that it was sad to see Thane go when he's standing in front of the memorial. I don't remember him saying it, but I think he only does when you're Thane's LI. I haven't beaten the game with that Shep yet.. for obvious reasons.... I still don't get why the fuck Kolyat couldn't join me. I know he's not an assassin like his father, but I literally just want to keep an eye on that kid. D<

See, that's funny. I hate the turians and krogan. If I cannot roll, I will not play the character. I make a living off retreating, rolling, ducking and overall acrobatic escapes. Probably why I favor my drell adept so badly. And I need someone that can ran really fast, reload quick and have awesome biotics. It's just the way I prefer to play...

Random funny story though (<<)... When I first began playing I was a drell adept and my friend was a turian soldier... He was trying to convince me that the turians made up for their lack of rolling by being really fast. I called him out on it and so we raced across one of the levels.... I even gave him a headstart and beat him by probably 5-6 strides. And he's like "I beat you because I'm the referee and I said so." So I guess by corruption, turians are faster than drell.

Hahaha omg yeah my shootouts were a mess, I'm honestly surprised I didn't die.

Yeah no not even Garrus mentions Thane, even though he's standing RIGHT THERE in front of the memorial after it happens.. he just mentions something about Kaidan/Ashley I think if I remember right.. I love Garrus as much as I love Thane, but dead god I wanted to slap the hell out of him and be liek "EXCUSE ME BEST FRIEND FOREVER BUT REMEMBER THE GREEN GUY THAT WAS HERE BEFORE THAT I BONED? YEAH HE JUST DIED. ::runs to room while gross sobbing::" But yeah even the fight with Kai Leng on Thessia when he's taunting Shepard about Thane, and she has no sort of retort.. i'm like "WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS GUY SAY/KNOW MORE ABOUT THANE THAN ANYONE ELSE?" And then even after the fight she's just upset about losing the Prothean VI and Thessia and everything, but still no "AND IMMA KILL THAT MOTHERFUCKER FOR RUNNIN' HIS MOUTH" When she stabbed him I was like "Oh so you DO remember Thane? >: (" But yeah ugh there was SO much potential for new crewmates that were just totally wasted. Not to mention it would have been exciting to see more worlds like Kahje... I dunno ME3 just feels incomplete to me.

Haha yeah I'm kinda like "Really, they can't at leas like, quickly sidestep or SOMETHING" .. no wonder Garrus took that missile to the face, lol. It's funny because it really just depends on my mood for who/what class I play... but I do adore being a krogan and just melee-ing the shit out of anything in front of me. XD

LOL that's hilarious... I would have thought turians to have some sort of quick raptor like moves at least for dodging and melee, they feel way too stiff...the krogan feel like the lumbering giants they are so it's ok, but still really they can't at least step out of the way quickly? XD But yeah I really adore playing as the drell, they're just sooo fast~ But srsly I don't understand why they're so weakly shielded and health too.. .AND why they're outfit is basically just Thane's clothes. ಠ_ಠ I honestly feel like Bioware hates drells, I'm telling ya. XD

Yeah, I read somewhere that Garrus says "I'm sorry about Thane", but he never said anything to me and I was like "WHATTHESHIT, GARRUS BESTEST BUDDY!?" And for my playthroughs that didn't romance Thane, Kai Leng was mocking me about Thane. But when I romanced him he didn't say a word. Which I found interesting. Since it was also insanity and took longer than usual... I'm not sure why he didn't say anything. Maybe the extended cut removed it?

And I really wanted to see Kahje :C Like.. seriously. Wanted to just drop my ass there like "Yo, I got all these super smart scientists that owe me one. Here, work on kepral's for me, I'll be back in a few missions. K, thanks bye"

Yeah.. anyone that can't roll feels so stiff and awkward to me. Though turians should at least be able to do some side-steps or something... I haven't played one for awhile, so I'm not really sure if they can do a side step...I don't think they can.... Which.. is kinda funny...

And yes, Bioware hates drell. They created this gorgeous race of intelligent and spiritual people and then were like "WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO BUILD ON THIS. L et's just kill them all!" D<

Hrm yeah not even Garrus said anything to me ever~ Kai Leng talked all kinds of shit to me tho bout Thane, but Shepard never really responded to the Thane taunts which irked me cuz I was yelling in my brain "IMMA RIP OUT YOUR TONGUE BEFORE I DECAPITATE YOU AND LEAVE YOUR HEAD ON YOUR SWORD AS A MESSAGE TO THE ILLUSIVE MAN YOU SONOFABITCH." XD;;

SAME HERE SAME HERE. Which reminds me! I'm not sure if this is a legit from Bioware survey, but just in case here is this: [link] it's a survey about how satisfied you were or weren't with te game's romances... I wrote a small essay on Thane and the drell I swear lol.

LoL yeah the krogan and turian are just like walking walls... no agility whatsoever...I would think at least the turians could do some raptor hop or something lol.

SRSLY. D< I'm really glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. I keep getting into arguments with my insane friend who thought Thane's death was one of the most powerful moments in the game and I'm like "DID WE PLAY THE SAME GAME WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"

Yeah, I'm starting to think the person was lying when they said Garrus "comments" on Thane's death. I've never heard it, romanced or unromanced.

I totally did that survey. :l And maybe bitched a little on the comments part for Thane... as well as Tali. Tali's romance really sucked too. I guess I don't really know since I left her for Kaidan because she took forever to fucking show up. But, don't worry. A few missions later and she was sucking face with Garrus D< Which honestly kinda pissed me off... but I guess I left her for Kaidan so... Can't be... too mad. :l


Raptor hop.... aaahahaha. Now I'm imagining a turian with his wrists all bent and arms pulled into his chest like a t-rex doing the most absurd side steps with a head-bob like a chicken. MY BRAAAAAIN.

Thane's death was super powerful! But also super unnecessary. And super insulting once realizing there's no difference between male/female shep and romance/unromanced. The first time I played it, I guess I couldn't quite wrap my head around all the unnecessary drama. I mean, I did just loose Mordin and was a total mess then went to losing Thane... And then I lost Legion. And I was like "WHY IS THIS GAME SO SAD!" Then I rebeat it and was like "WHY IS THIS ALL HAPPENING, THIS IS UNNECESSARY." -facedesks- Drama for the sake of drama. Although I understand Legion's death... kind of Mordin's... but Thane's? Yeah, no.

Haha yeah I bitched a lot. e.e Ugh Tali... I should be happy for her and Garrus... but when I'm feeling so bitter about my lost Thane and how Garrus my BFF wasn't even there for me (or in my bed like he should be dammit) I just wanted to break her suit.

LOL ME TOO. It would be amazing~ XD

Yeah I can understand and accept Legion and Mordin's death, and I could have maybe understood Thane's had it been done differently. But yeah I really can't stand the feeling of having drama or character death just because... like I know in life sometimes shit just happens without a bigger meaning to it... but in stories it just makes me feel like writers got lazy/are cruel bastards/"insert drama here."

Oh yeah are you excited about the new DLC pack coming out? I'm interested in the maps that sound like OMG someplace NOT in the game... but still kind of disappoint that it's all human characters. >:/ God dammit~

LexSterling In reply to TonomuraBix [2012-07-16 17:08:29 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, the Earth DLC? I'm kinda getting sick of human races if that's what they all are. I've only heard the names of the new classes coming out, not any pictures. Though it's probably safe to assume they're gonna be human. I'm pretty excited to see something not-in-the-game, but I'm also a little apprehensive because this is earth they're representing. I'm not sure if they're going to go totally weird with the architect, or make it reasonably recognizable. I mean.. I know it's the future, but I want to know it's "my" future. If it's not... I'll get over it. I just hope it looks "human" like.

So what do you think of the Earth DLC? London kind of makes me wanna cry, but Rio and Vancouver are pretty nifty... the new maps feel so BIG. o_o So far the only new characters I unlocked are the N7 Soldier guy and the N7 Vanguard guy (I really want the damn Adept, she looks amazing T_T)... god they feel so ridiculously overpowered. XD; Bioware needs to revamp the old characters... or find some other way to balance shit out, cuz it's getting ridiculous lol. Also, hear about the Leviathan DLC? I'm pretty curious about it... tho I'm wondering how it could not have some great impact on the ending, unless you go and find this awesome new weapon/creature/whatever only for it to be immediately destroyed or not work.. in which case it'll be one more reason I'll want to flip off Bioware. XD

I honestly think the earth DLC is kind of stupid. I really liked the Rio and Vancouver maps, mostly Rio, but London was kinda blah. The new characters are all cheap asses or totally ridiculously dumb. I finally got an N7 character yesterday with the victory pack that I didn't even participate in << and I got the Paladin. And his snap freeze is the gayest thing I've ever seen. And so is the shield. I just sprint in snap freezing and sheild bashing everyone... and it looks ridiculous. The damn one with the missile launcher is a total joke. We played platinum and the guy with the missile launcher did practically everythign and we couldn't even shoot anything because it was all dying instantly. It was stupid as hell.

Yeah the new maps are pretty nice (except for London).... they really do need to amp up the old characters though with how ridiculous powers are getting for the new guys. =_= Or at least make it so you have some other options in what powers/grenades to use. For example on the poor drell, I HATE Pull... I feel like it's one of the most retarded biotic powers ever... and then those fucking cluster grenades, bouncing everywhere except where I wanted them to go. I'd rather have throw and pretty much any other grenade lol. I admit I actually rather adore the Paladin, but I mostly just run around smacking the shit out of things with the shield. XD; It's what I do with my krogan sentinel too... I just walk around like a tank melee-ing the shit out of everything. XD

DON'T YOU DISS MY PULL!!!!!! I love my pull/reave combos. Especially when my recharge is about 2-3 seconds. I will pull 4-5 of those fuckers in the air, reload, reave the middle guy and then snipe off the rest. Or pull them into the air, reave them and watch them explode and fall off the sides of maps. I fucking love pull. It's my favorite biotic power. And it makes big baddies stumble. Or makes them stumble with shields. Love it. And I've gotten pretty good at throwing cluster grenades. I tend to under throw them so that they slide the last 20-40 feet right on top of people. Or I bank them into rooms and let hem just bounce off all the walls until they explode which is also nice. Clusters are probably also my favorite grenades, but I do occasionally throw them and they go absolutely no where near where I wanted.

Haha well that's good you love it and make it useful... for me I just feel like th only time I use it an it does any good is to rip away guardian shields. :/ Reave tho, oh gods do I love the reave... And I love teaming up with another adept (especially the N7 Fury) and it's just biotic explosions everywhere~~~ But yeah I'm kinda bad with grenades in general... but the cluster grenades omg.. I face palm so much cuz they just bounce everywhere but where I meant for them to go. T_T

Yeah, I didn't romance him at first (I played as male!Shep and my two fem!Shep's were Garrus and Liara girls. I kinda of avoided him because I felt like I was taking advantage of him... but now I have officially romanced him and I'm taking my time getting to ME3)....

But in any case... I think if you romance him you should be able to get convince him to go to your ship or something. He should chill around in your room or in the med-bay or just wander the ship. I think he should just provide some kind of... structure in your life. When I romanced Garrus he was there at every corner supporting me and I loved it. I also cheated on Tali for Kaidan because she was taking too god damn long to show up in the game. The absence of the romance is very hard.

And... I think if you choose synthesis, you should meet Thane across the sea. <3
