History WMG / DeadSpace

Without this an other engineered weaknesses the necromophs would be unstoppable.

Considering Dead Space setting is a ZeeRust [[CrapsackWorld Crapsack Galaxy]] it makes sense people would initially join it after crossing a despair event horizon.

** According to rumors, confirmed. That said [[spoiler: I won't be that upset about not getting more information on the Brethren Moons. Ancient horrors from beyond imagining become much less interesting when they're explained to the viewer. Much as I like the series and agree it sucks that it's over, ''3'' was a decent enough stopping point; we see the end of Isaac Clarke's story.]]

Because that sort of dickishness is par for the course for EA. And they mentioned that if Dead Space 3 didn't sell five million copies (the previous two games only sold about half that each), they'd kill the series. So it is depressingly likely that we will ''never'' get to see [[spoiler:[[TheStinger Isaac's survival]] or what will be done about the other [[EldritchAbomination Brethren Moons]] still out there in the cosmos]].

* This troper assumed as such after the whole needle through your eye machine jiggle Isaac's brain meat/ injected him with something. I only that damn Regenerator was just a hallucination as well.

Think about it, we constantly getting attacked, and have to shoot Nicole to open up a marker's heart. But is it all in our head? What if instead, Marker trying to prevent it's own desturction by sending hordes of necromorphs at us. And in order to confuse us (for we could actually remember where the marker is), he makes us believe that everything that we see is in our head! So Isaac is confused, he doesn't know which direction the marker is. Illusion fades only when he shoots Nicole. So when we see shooting heart of the marker, we actually destroying it's base. That's why when Isaac is freed from said illusion, we see that base of the marker blown to bits. All this time we were shooting at it, while trying to survive hundered of necromorphs. That explains why despite it's surreality, destroyed ghosts still dropped the ammo.

* This troper after getting to the end, assumed that Isaac had watched to the end, only for the trauma of Nicole's death to sink into such deep denial that he is just going through the first game on some sort of PTSD auto pilot. Notice how he never says anything to the rest of the repair crew, always setting off to do whatever Kendra and the Captain tell him to. It is only after having the proof that Nicole was gone through into his face once more that he is forced to deal with it, hence [[spoiler: the marker!Nicole at the end]]. Its even worse after the second game reveals that Isaac convinced Nicole to sign onto the Ishimura, adding a layer of guilt.

* issac IS nichole

With how co-op is handle in the game with the drop in and drop out, and why EA say Dead Space 3 is too scary to play alone. Playing by yourself is basically what is really happening. Playing with co-op is John being a Hallucination in Issac's mind. It's Issac way of coping with the horror or the Marker is helping Issac again like the first game.

After the events of the last game, odds are Issac finally found a way to begin to move on. And with him losing contact with her early in the game, he's going to try and find her as quickly as possible so that his relationship with her isn't a repeat of [[DrivenToSuicide Nicole]].

Rumors so far say that the main setting of [=DS3=] is a [[SingleBiomePlanet planet completely covered in ice and snow]]. I'd honestly be shocked if they didn't do this.

At this point, the Ishimura drifts aimlessly into space, with almost non-existent systems, and is later retrieved by a group of Magpies (The Main cast of Dead Space: Salvage). When the Magpies board the Ishimura, Nicole doesn’t know it due to that systems; and the Magpies never found Nicole before, or during, the bloodbath, since the Ishimura is over ''1.5 kilometers'' long. They eventually find marker shards on the hull of the Ishimura and start [[spoiler: killing themselves]], but the Shards don’t bother Nicole, since they are small enough that they can only be a problem to people if they touch the Shards, which the Magpies did and Nicole didn’t.

Earth Gov finds the Ishimura, due to the transmission that was left by Schneider (a Magpie) sent out at the end of Dead Space: Salvage, and takes it back to the Sprawl. Since the cover-up regarding Aegis VII is a terror attack, Earth Gov restores the Ishimura to working condition to show the people that they won’t be influenced by terrorists, including installing an escape pod to replace the one that Hammond used to suck out a necromorph in Dead Space 1, which Isaac then later uses to [[spoiler:escape the Ishimura in Dead Space 2]]. Of course, a science team is sent aboard to investigate the evidence left by the Marker, because the Marker is a powerful thing.

In Dead Space 2, it is revealed that after Isaac killed the Hive mind, the Ishimura survived the [[Main/EarthShatteringKaboom planet’s explosion]], with Nicole still on board. (Side note: Aftermath shows that Aegis VII also survived the explosion.) The necromorphs turned into the sludge, so Nicole doesn’t have to fight to survive anymore, and the Necro-Nicole is a hallucination caused by Isaac being insane as revealed in Dead Space 2.

The logical extension of this is that in Chapter 7, Nicole really is opening the door, but Nicole is insane due to the Marker. The Hive Mind knew this, and that's why it sent the necromorphs to kill her in this scene. The transmissions of Nicole on the other hand are hallucinations cause by the Marker to get Isaac to trust Nicole. After all, she is giving Isaac the Marker's advice of ''make us whole''

Of course, a science team is sent aboard to investigate the evidence left by the Marker, because the Marker is a powerful thing.

While restoring the Ishimura, Nicole makes herself known, either by accident or because she heard someone. Someone recognizes that she could be useful in studying the Marker’s influence on people, and Director Tiedemann makes her one of the patients in his plan to save The Sprawl by the research grants supplied by rebuild the Marker(s), along with Isaac and Stross. It would be unknown if Nicole was patient Six or not, but if she was, then the odds of her surviving The Sprawl are nil, given that Patient Six couldn’t ''feed, drink, or even bathe herself''.

Of course, there is always the possibility of Isaac finding Nicole on Earth if he goes there to destroy the original Black Marker, as Dead Space: Martyr says that the Black Marker is at the bottom of the ocean in the wreckage of a research facility that Michael Altman (Yes, that Michael Altman) himself destroyed to stop the Marker. The ‘Dead Space Game set on Earth’ theory seems probable given that the Black Marker was as damage resistant as, if not more than, the Red and Yellow Markers encountered in Dead Space 1 and Dead Space 2. Of course, Isaac finding Nicole would, on the surface, be a {{Contrived Coincidence}} and maybe some {{Retcon}} would be required so that it would be believable, so don’t expect it to happen outside of {{FanFic}}s

If, on the other hand, she was not Patient Six, then odds are that she escaped from the mental institute where all the Patients were held in the original outbreak, similar to how Stross escaped as well. Her knowledge of necromorphs from her time on the Ishimura, although limited, would be enough for her to make her way to one of the many escape shuttles that left during the evacuation that Tiedemann ordered.

Naturally, the logical conclusion is that it is possible that Nicole is still out there somewhere in the Dead Space universe, though she probably won’t see Isaac again because; A) the galaxy is a large place, and B) because the escape shuttles, in the event of an evacuation, would most likely head to Earth where Nicole would be locked back up in an asylum. If the shuttle went to a nearby colony instead, then anyone who was insane (like Nicole) would be locked up, or sent back to Earth to be locked back in an asylum.

The reason most boss Necromorphs are dangerous--outside of the Slug--is because they don't flash their vulnerable members when Issac isn't around. Issac has been chosen by the Marker due to possessing a rare genetic marker/psionic sensitivity/unique strength of character/incredible willpower/[[PaintingTheFourthWall a higher power is invested in his survival]]. Either: he exerts psychic influence on boss Necromorphs that compels them to expose their weak bits, only he can see where the weak points are and take advantage of them, only weapons in his hands can actually lacerate a Necromorph's weak points, or his presence offends more-intelligent Necromorphs so profoundly they are compelled to beat him to death with their own nerve systems.

Rumors so far say that the main setting of DS3 is a [[SingleBiomePlanet planet completely covered in ice and snow]]. I'd honestly be shocked if they didn't do this.
