what I literally cannot stand though is people who think Thane fans are mad just because he died
and not realizing that it’s a combo of crap all piling up
like how the devs interact with Thane fans and basically make fun of them for getting engaged with a character they like when they sure as heck don’t act this way with other fans
like how they went out of their way to make a character specifically for female players and then admitting outright that they forgot he was romancable, which says volumes about how they regard female fans along with how they’ve interacted with them in the past
like how they spun this story of a man who had lost his will to live not just because of disease but lack of contact with his son and grief for his wife but then finding a reason to fight both literally and metaphorically, and then completely ditched all aspects of that in the following game to have him decide he was okay with dying and let everyone else handle the fight
like how he was built up as possibly being one of the most dangerous people in the galaxy even *with* Kepral’s, and then you want me to believe that he’s going to lose to a guy with a sword whose only claim to fame is that he steals cereal
like how even when romanced, the lack of interaction between him and Shepard is absolutely dreadful when even completely new or minor characters overshadow him
like how many fans went into ME3 expecting him to die and were okay with that including myself because yes we were aware from the first minute he was onscreen that he was a dying man, but were at least hoping they’d see him die a respectable and badass assassin and not as a plot twist to make Kai Leng look like a badass instead of actually supporting that idea with memorable writing and actions which actually existed in the early stages of writing before they decided to go this route instead
but nah
it’s just the fact that he died I guess
