Series-Wide YMMV

  • Complete Monster:
    • Dead Space 2: Daina Le Guin, a Unitologist aboard the Sprawl, became obsessed with the comatose Isaac Clarke's capacity to produce more Markers to spread the Necromorph infection. Opting to steal Isaac to take his knowledge, Daina tricked Karrie "Vandal" Norton into unleashing the Necromorphs onto the Sprawl, massacring the government sector and killing almost every living thing about the station. Manipulating Isaac to draw him near, Daina's ultimate plan was to kidnap Isaac and send the resulting Markers across the galaxy in a Necromorph plague to consume life.
    • Dead Space 3: Jacob Arthur Danik is the Unitologist founder of the Circle, a particularly militant group that even other Unitologists find insane. Launching a brutal coup on the Earth government, Danik has numerous planets devastated and cities destroyed to release the Markers and the Necromorph plague. Hunting for Isaac Clarke to kill him, Danik becomes obsessed with the awakening of the Brethren Moon and begins its Convergence, seeking an end to humanity to force his twisted view of "evolution" upon them.
    • Remake: Dr. Challus Mercer lacks the Marker-induced insanity he had in the original, but commits far greater crimes. A devout Unitologist who seeks to escape death through gaining the Red Marker's favor, Mercer starts by having a mentally-vulnerable Brant Harris transferred to his care, where he takes advantage of his mental illness to manipulate him into agreeing to being turned into the Hunter, who he has help him kill survivors onboard the Ishimura. After things truly go to hell, Mercer's sabotage of the ship leads to several decks that may have held the line being overwhelmed and the crew onboard slaughtered. When a group of survivors from the Hydrophonics Deck enters the Medical Deck, Mercer captures them, gruesomely experiments on them, and leaves them to be turned into Necromorphs. When confronted by Jacob Temple on the Crew Deck, Mercer puts him into stasis and shoots him in the head, intentionally dragging out his death for far longer. A crazed religious fanatic, Mercer claims he is acting on behalf of humanity's future, when in fact he only cares about his own eternal reward.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Japan has a rather unusual affection to the Dead Space series. If you ever go into the FPS side of Japan (which is a niche market there), you will occasionally see references to it, even in many other FPSs as well. The fact that there are complete wikis dedicated to translating the entire series from English to Japanese despite not having an official translation there at all should tell you something.
