He even manages to destroy the new Marker he's unwittingly helped to create–which also makes him the cause of the events in Dead Space 2. He forgives himself the guilt of being unable to save the woman he loves and possibly sending her to her death in the first place. In the end, Isaac does mature as a character. To make matters worse, Isaac spends most of this game without any real direction beyond trying to find out what's happened in the last three years. Man is she annoying! She pops up about once a chapter to remind us how guilty Isaac feels about not being able to save her. You're a sick man, Clarke.Īnd then there's his girlfriend.
He just watches her explode when she picks it up. And the only thing more bizarre than these moments are now the ones when he doesn't speak up! At one point he sees a clearly necromorphed baby crawling to an unsuspecting mother. Where he once witnessed gruesome creatures and near death with stoic silence, he now drops F-bombs at every other crashing transport ship and suicide he comes across.
First off, suddenly giving Isaac a voice seemed to make him an entirely different character. But then Visceral decided to not only give him a voice for Dead Space 2 but make him suffer from hallucinations of his dead girlfriend. Sure, he was voiceless and faceless and that made his motivation (saving his girlfriend) seem kind of unbelievable, but coupled with his occupation as an unarmed engineer (not a burly soldier or a even a baton carrying security guard) made him a kind of everyman to whom I could relate (no small feat in itself). I liked Isaac in the original Dead Space.
