Added three examples to OC Stand In.
Added DiffLines:
* OCStandIn: The cast features a few unexpected side-characters given considerably more prominent roles.
** Most prominently, Tarquin Victus goes from being a one-off character [[WeHardlyKnewYe who died in the same mission he was introduced]], to being one of the main [=POV=]s of ''Sudden Terminus''. He also comes across as much less inept than he did in the original game and even [[ThrowTheDogABone gets a heartwarming moment of two]] with his father, Adrien.
** Ulrezaj, the dark templar who was the main villain of the [[Literature/StarCraftTheDarkTemplarSaga Dark Templar Saga]] book trilogy and the much less known [[BonusMaterial side campaign]] ''Enslavers: Dark Vengeance'', is now added to the main plotline as one of the warriors stranded with Zeratul on Char [[spoiler:and eventually becomes one of Tassadar's disciples]]. Although he's still bears a grudge against the Khalai, [[AdaptationalNiceGuy he doesn't posses nearly as much raw hatred]] as he did in the original works.
** Xeltan is probably the most unexpected of the lot and gets a complete personality shift to boot. In VideoGame/MassEffect, he featured in an IrrelevantSidequest as an ineffectual elcor [[{{Wangst}} sulking and whining]] in the Elcor embassy about how [[HighClassCallGirl Sha'ira the Consort]] was allegedly spreading his secrets all over the Citadel. In ''Sudden Supremacy'', he serves as the MightyGlacier of [[LaResistance Raynor's Raiders]], touting a VI-controlled [[{{BFG}} minigun or two]] on his back and [[ShoutingShooter yelling]] as many [[PreAsskickingOneLiner corny one-liners in]] battle as any other Terran. At this point, his name and species are the only things he has in common with his original counterpart.

* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: Apart from the geth (who themselves never give the full story), the rest of the galaxy is never given the full context of the behind the scenes events of the Great War regarding Liara and Sovereign. Which stinks because Liara is the one largely responsible for both Sovereign and the Overmind's ultimate defeats.
