Mass Effect Mod Makes It Possible To Save Thane

We all love a bad boy. And a deep, emotional boy. Thane is the best of both worlds, so it utterly broke our hearts when he was killed off in Mass Effect 3.

Dialogue is changed to explain why he's still out of action, indicating that he's seriously wounded and undergoing experimental treatment, rather than actually dead.
