Line #9 Heartwarming/DeadSpace3


1	* While they have broken up by the time the game starts, it seems a bit heartwarming that, after what happened to Nicole, Issac finally managed to move on somewhat with [[SecondLove Ellie]]. It was nice seeing how far Isaac would go for her. With a gun to his head, Isaac staunchly refuses to help [=EarthGov=]. As soon as Ellie is brought up--and that she dove headfirst back into the Marker-made hell he'd escaped twice already--he demands to know what happened to her, deciding to [[TeethClenchedTeamwork put up with EarthGov in order to help her]].
2	-->'''Isaac''': No. [[BigNo NO!]] I'm done with that. You find somebody else with your SuicideMission!\
3	'''Norton''': We did. And before we lost contact with her... ''(holds up picture fragment with Ellie in it)'' She told us to find you.\
4	'''Isaac''': Ellie. Where is she? What'd you do to her?! ''Where is she?!''
5	* The scavenger bot is a heartwarming addition to the series. It felt like no matter what happened in the game, you always had a cute little buddy to help you out by bringing you anything useful for you and your partner.
6	* When you are in the alien machine/city, look closely at the giant remains of the aliens: They're ''holding hands''. There's something so human and heartwarming about such a simple gesture, especially considering the backstory behind them. The fact that they did all they could to stop the Brethren Moon in their orbit, and warn future civilizations about the Markers and the Brethren Moons, is also rather heartwarming. They knew their race was screwed, they had no personal stake in the future of life in the galaxy, but went through [[HeroicSacrifice an incredible self-sacrifice]] to stop the Moon from causing any more damage and to try and help any future civilizations from suffering the same fate.
7	* The fact that Carver ultimately [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] the [[ArmiesAreEvil Armies are Evil]] trope. It doesn't seem likely at first; he beats and then conscripts Isaac at gunpoint as a first impression, and continues to act blunt and callous as they work together. Furthermore, his commanding officer is a {{Jerkass}} and the [=EarthGov=] military he is part of has a checkered past. With the setting of ''Dead Space'' being as cynical as it is, you were likely fully expecting Carver to betray Isaac in the end, maybe even having co-op players fight each other as the final challenge. Imagine the shock when Carver ultimately proved to be completely loyal and selflessly motivated, providing a solid example of RousseauWasRight in a series where humans are typically [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters assumed to be bastards.]]
8	-->'''Carver''': I'm not a good man, Isaac.\
9	'''Isaac''': Good men mean well. We just don't always end up doing well.
10	* After Danik turns off the machine and the Brethren Moon begins to awaken, Isaac tells Ellie to leave. Carver attempts to send the two off together, willing to sacrifice himself instead, but Isaac says that he won't be able to beat it without him. He tells her that he ran away because he was afraid of what needed to be done and he's not afraid anymore, giving Ellie the half of the photo with his face on it. The pair share a last kiss before Isaac sends her to the last shuttle.
11	* Near the end of Chapter 6, after fetching a shuttle and escaping a group of regenerating Necromorphs, Isaac is blasted into space. The first thing you hear? Everyone (save [[{{Jerkass}} Norton]]) ''cheering'' for you. Even Carver, who seems to shout, "Atta boy, Isaac!"
