A few story beats for PathsConverged I’ve been thinking about:
>ME3, Priority Surkesh. Shepard and crew go down to pick up the Krogan female. Once Cerberus launches their attack, Mordin pulls Roland aside to give him experimental weapon that’s built off Jjaro technology. Roland wonders where they got the tech, but puts the question aside for later. My take on the Wave Motion Cannon. Sequence plays out where Roland basically goes nuts with the thing. Inspired by that moment in Half-Life when you acquire the Tau Cannon.
>ME3, after Shepard goes into custody, Roland tells Garrus he’s going with him to Palaven. The two of them both know that the Reapers will try to take out the turian military first, and Roland internally is hesitant about going back to Earth. This point would also be a sign that’s Roland is trying to move past his prejudices against aliens, especially Turians, considering his history. I plan on setting up Roland as a notable figure during the war, and his fighting on Palaven will be the catalyst to his image turning from murderous psycho to hero.
>ME2, the crew goes out for a drink on Ilium, Roland gets drunk for the first time in years. Surprisingly a happy drunk, but a it’s bit forced to hide his sorrow.
Few more to eventually come. One involving Joyeuse.
