Line #11 Awesome/DeadSpace3


1	* The ''Eudora'' ejection sequence, which sees Isaac, Carver, and Norton jettisoning their crewmates out of their ship as it explodes. It ends with the three ''barely'' managing to slow the spinning room down with only their suit thrusters, letting them carry their crew to safety.
2	-->'''Isaac''': Jesus… Let's not do that again.
3	** Isaac's quick thinking shortly before: instead of wasting time prying Rosen and Locke out of the room they're trapped in while the ''Eudora'' is blowing up around them, Isaac tells Norton to ''seal'' the room they're trapped in with an emergency welder. Then, once he's outside in his new EVA suit, Isaac releases the clamps on the chamber. The result? A makeshift escape pod!
4	--->'''Isaac''': Here! Grab some of that paneling and seal up that doorway!\
5	'''Norton''': Since when're ''you'' givin' the orders?!\
6	'''Isaac''': Since nobody else has a ''[[PrecisionFStrike fuck]]''[[PrecisionFStrike in']] plan! Look, [[IndyPloy I'll explain as I go!]]
7	** Something about this exchange near the sequence's end is just spine-tingling:
8	--->'''Isaac''': ''(Norton, Carver and the ejected room are careening into more spaceship debris)'' Hey, watch it, ''watch'' it!\
9	'''Norton''': I can't steer around it!\
10	'''Isaac''': ''(getting closer to them)'' [[DareToBeBadass Then]] [[LetsGetDangerous punch through it!]]
11	* [[BadassArmy The fact that the S.C.A.F are the only military in the Dead Space universe who were actually genuinely competent at fighting the Necromorphs]] is a huge one. Sure, they lost in the end, but the fact that they held out for three years against a foe that easily bodied trained soldiers on both occasions that they got involved, not only clueing onto the fact that they needed to dismember the creatures to take them out and sharing the knowledge in their combat manual so that every soldier was prepared to properly deal with them as they appeared, but also managing to multitask between fighting off the infected and carrying on with business as usual for quite a while before it finally became too much is nothing short of commendable, especially considering that most of their ranks were filled with greenhorns.
12	* The descent onto Tau Volantis is a noteworthy moment, ''especially'' in cooperative.
13	* The drill sequence. Dismembering Necromorphs while a giant rotating drill destroys everything around you.
14	* TheReveal after reassembling Rosetta. In a series that's [[AbsentAliens only ever shown hints and remnants of alien life]], you suddenly learn the origins of the Markers and the ancient alien species connected to them. A mindblowing revelation, In-Universe and out.
15	* After Ellie is killed by Danik's intervention, Isaac [[BewaretheNiceOnes finally loses his cool.]] While he [[TranquilFury isn't screaming incoherently,]] he outright states that his only goal is to take down everyone and everything responsible for the necromorph plague... [[HeroicSacrifice even if it kills him.]] The entire next chapter consists of one long rampage through Unitologists and necromorphs alike, as you pursue Danik into the bowels of the earth. A full swarm of necromorphs, an entire company of Unitologist troops, and even the hulking new alien necromorphs fail to stop you, all culminating in a vertical chase sequence where you battle all the aforementioned threats while rappelling into an abyss. According to the Unitologist radio chatter, [[{{MookHorrorShow}} they're more afraid of YOU]] than the undead horrors pouring out of the woodwork!
16	-->'''Danik''': [[OhCrap Where is everyone!?]]
17	-->'''Unitologist Soldier''': All dead! Isaac Clarke... [[OneManArmy he shot the rest!]]
18	** It's also worth mentioning that for most of the series, Isaac has only been fighting in self defense. This time, [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge he's launching a one (or two) man assault on the people and monsters that have made his life a living hell.]]
19	** After he and Carver escape the gas, Isaac is initially teetering on the DespairEventHorizon, until they get to the elevator. Then he switches to TranquilFury with almost disturbing speed. Carver points out that Danik is still going for the Machine.
20	-->'''Isaac''': ''[with so much venom that [[TheStoic Carver]] steps back]'' '''''Then we're gonna make sure he never gets there.'''''
21	* Isaac's EleventhHourSuperpower near the end, activated by stepping on marked plates on the ground. It powers his Kinesis and Stasis, to the point where he can rip off limbs from still-alive Necromorphs and slow them to a literal crawl.
22	* The final boss. ThatsNoMoon indeed.
23	* What really sells it is Isaac's words before the boss fight. Faced with the biggest goddamn necromorph he's ever seen, he utters a simple and quiet sentence, showing us that even after [[IronWoobie all the horror and abuse he's gone through]], [[BadassNormal Isaac Clarke]] is not going down without a fight.
24	-->'''Isaac:''' [[BadassBoast You can't]] [[DefiantToTheEnd have us.]]
