Mass Effect Legendary Edition: Complete Thane Romance

[@zachdelozier2133]

​​@@marenjones6665 Half a year but basically yeah, though to play devil's advocate here? If the Reaper's hadn't arrived when they did, Hackett and Anderson's damage control could only go so far and there's a pretty decent chance that Shepard might end up being tried and convicted as a war criminal. If he leaned more in the direction of wanting to detach from someone with no future I'd say his infidelity might be a bit more forgivable.

Well, you can identify with Thane and must, at least somewhat, like his character. You also like the Femshep character, I do too, and If the chemistry, causality, and believability of their interpersonal arc is well done and resonates with you and enhances the story and the world, then, yeah, we (the male audience) would mostly be onboard. It's a rare thing though, because It's difficult to write a compelling, natural, non forced, chemistry filled romantic arc. It's one of those ''lightning in a bottle'' skills...you either have It, or you don't. And when It IS there, WOW...It shines.

[@thesixthkid7689]

Thane's romance is literally the best romance in the Mass Effect series because it has one thing the other romances don't, a heartbreak. If anyone brings up Jacobs romance that ain't heartbreak, that's a cheating prick.

[@lippi2171]

I'm here because of a citadel DLC ending compilation, and when Thane's part came in I was like "wow it's like a whole another is game buried here". I never played female Shepard so I never knew there was this much story lying there.

[@CommanderLexaa]

I'd argue Liara's has heartbreak as well. Girlie fought to recover your body, had to wait 2 years to find out if Cerberus would keep their word, plus even if Shepard did survive Mass Effect 3, Liara will outlive her by centuries seeing as how she's a maiden. I love both romances a lot.

I did the Thane romance play through one time only. The citadel DLC makes this downright traumatizing. I can’t endure it again. So beautiful and heart breaking. Being his Siha was the most emotional provoking part of this entire series for me.

[@Mgsgenesis]

Seeing thanes ghost say goodbye is emotional.

[@thesixthkid7689]

Is it because that is literally the ONLY time you see Shepard cry? Because that got me, I had listened to the 4th message like 5 times because it had so much emotion.

[@sweeperchick]

SAME. I romanced him my first time playing ME2 not knowing what I was getting into, and it absolutely wrecked me.

[@frejow]

Same here, it's so damn emotional, such a well made character that makes you feel so much 💔 I love the games but I hate that he didn't have a bigger role in Ma3 and that he had to die. I was really heartbreaking!

[@luney1283]

before the Citadel DLC, thane's death was never mentioned. it was like it didn't happen, it didn't even MATTER to Shepard. he is the only romance in the game that HAS to die, no matter what, and it was devastating to 17 year old me playing the game for the first time. i had recently lost someone who i loved, and I was desperate to save thane, to at least have a happy ending in a video game. but they killed him, and didn't even give him the fucking respect of a single squad member caring. Shepard never even got to tell him that she loved him. and meanwhile RIGHT after his death is when everyone starts flirting with you like your love interest didn't just die. so terribly done. so thoughtless, and uncaring for the character they created and for the people who grew to love him. and although they added a memorial for him in the citadel DLC, that DLC was an opportunity to actually give people time with him (unlike in the base game), but you can only access it after his death. everyone gets a happy respite with their LI in that DLC, except Thane romancers. I'm still bitter.

[@jenniferchoate5600]

My very first romance was, obviously, Garrus. I liked it enough that I went on to do it 6 more times through all 3 games and their DLC. When I actually took the time to talk with Thane and then romanced him ... there was no going back for me after that point. No matter if I had gone back to doing another Garrus romance or even tried to complete a Kaidan romance, my FemSheps always ended up romancing Thane. I'm not a physical, mental and/or emotional masochist by any means. But when a character feels so compellingly real that you can't help but continuously fall in love with them all over again every time you see and/or talk with them no matter what you're doing?? That's something I always look for in video game romances and Thane definitely did it for me when it came to the Mass Effect Trilogy. As far as I know, Thane is the only romance where Shepard receives an affectionate nickname ( I don't count Ashley's or James' romance for this at all) that actually meant something. A Siha in Drell mythos is the same thing as a GUARDIAN ANGEL in the Christian faith. Thane is essentially saying, "You saved me from myself, and I thank and love you for it." God, this man! And even if you don't romance him, and you're a total jerk to him in any way, shape, or form, there's still a chance he'll call you Siha. This only happens if he's fallen in love with Shepard and will only tell them what it means if they had started the romance. Take that for what you will. Thank you so much for creating this video :D! I really do appreciate it :).

[@rarafarara]

Okay this has and will always hurt to the bone, but at least they gave him a respectful end. To fight and match with kai leng like that? In his condition? And in the end, he passed with his son and Siha by his side. The citadel dlc broke me even more but the last scene by the bay feels so special in particular, visualizing Shepard's devotion so seamlessly. It feels complete in the way, how Shepard said 'you won't be alone long', gives a promise of reunion across the sea.

I can never bring myself to romance anyone except Garrus but man oh man Thane is a close second.

[@Winter-ep5py]

I think the fact that hurts me the most by the videos is Thane not being able to spend at least a little more time with his Siha.

How could you forget the scene at the end of the citadel dlc?

[@meganashley8431]

I’m watching this because I want to romance Thane but just can’t bring myself to be with anyone but Garrus….

[@tyalithewitch_]

[@deborahsiahaan9261]

They should’ve had so many you couldn’t count them.

[@originalcosmicgirl]

I didn't realize it was only 3.☹

[@ysandrelombarde1227]

35:35 why would you choose that option lmao

[@RnRnR]

I cried so much in this romance, had to go back and romance Garrus lol I'm glad Bioware made the romance a bit different w Thane since he's a widower. Some of their romances feel a bit "too easy".

Male Shep Romance: Jack Femshep Romance: Thane

[@Gigzause]

Just started my playtrough recently, and i feel bad to ignore his confession (when he start called you Siha) And ended me2 without romance with anyone. 🙃

[@alexandrefanin1318]

Thanks for your hard work

[@Synthia17]

[@jini235]

[@shortysrule2592]

Thane dominating Kai Leng gives me life.

[@MajinOsirus]

[@xenspringwood6733]

Wait.. Bailey's voice gives very much Tullius vibes.

[@jenniferchoate5600]

It's the same voice actor :). I was shocked myself when I heard him for the first time too.

[@Voland1871]

Michael Hogan is everywhere.

[@Garruslove4me]

My daughter had a great idea , wish the writer would have had it she said that at the end ..it would have been awesome if you hear him say meet across the sea Siha...sigh.

[@loserinasuit7880]

"I want you" Insert Mater and McQueen meme

[@thearnorianruby4681]

I think Thane just solved the whole gun control argument. Lol. Please don't start a political argument. Edit: I am crying so much right now. FUCK!!!!

[@meowmeowsuperstar8178]

i just cried my eyes out holy shit

[@0Danirox0]

bruh liara and tali did not have to hurt as bad as they did

[@GothMommy26]

I almost got this romance but I backed out when he asked. I made my Shep a lesbian but she loved thane. She ended up with Samantha.
