I've seen a picture of Thane.
So that drops my old theories.
I thought that Thane would be dead by ME3.
Tali too if you romanced her (disease and whatnot).
i just picked up ME1 today and i'm enjoying it so far. i will say i prefer the combat system in ME2 and the graphics are better in 2 than 1. any gameplay tricks i should know?
in that case save a little money and then trade in your old xbox and any games you don't want for in store credit at gamestop and the make up the difference with cash.
