Some other weird tech from the Dead Space setting that might result in some fun hijinks in Mass Effect.

Already mentioned the biggest deal with Shock Point drives not needing Relays for their navigation and propulsion through the cosmos.

Would be funny to see the pre-Issac incursion Andromeda colonization mega vessels roll in 100 years later to already find that galaxy seeded with Shock Pointer prospectors merrily cracking planets with their nightmare ribcage cruisers.

Gravity Plates/Generators would be an interesting power drain but not need Element Zero to attain the same effect.

Stasis fields fall into the same category of localized manipulation of gravity without the need for Eezo. Might provide a nasty surprise for Biotics.

The recycling fabricators of the shop kiosks on Dead Space vessels. At least by Issac's time they could pulp a variety of precious metals into a space suit, ammo or medigel with no problem.

The interconnected nature of the RIG system and the casual cybernetics use by DS citizenry. If memory serves Elle even had her screwdrivered eye replaced by DS3. As compred to the Syd Mead clean lines futurism of Mass Effect.

Also I really want to see how much OUCH a DS stasis field puts on a living being vs the relatively gentle space magic of a biotic's Eezo field.

>>50535727
Yeah, just doing some re-writing. Will post tomorrow

>>50535910
There's also the BPC, also known as, "that one creepy-as-hell part of Medical with the babies floating in green tubes."

BPC stands for, "Biological Prosthetics Center." Direct from the wiki, "The biological prosthetics are apparently created by means of cloning the individual, rapidly aging the clone to adulthood and then harvesting the prosthetic limb or organ from the clone; no mention of how infant clones are grown to adult size in anything resembling a speedy manner. Presumably the clones are created with no higher brain functions."

>>50535910
Also I really want to see how much OUCH a DS stasis field puts on a living being vs the relatively gentle space magic of a biotic's Eezo field.

What I find interesting about stasis fields is the implication provided by twitchers. That a militarized or properly modified stasis module can generate a zone of accelerated time for the wearer. Vastly increasing their reaction time and movement speed against those still in the normal reference frame.

>>50536041
Meant to add to the end there. "Probably uses tech similar to stasis, but in the opposite direction, speeding up relative time instead of slowing it down."

Remember, stasis pods are mentioned in DS2 as being used to keep people stable while proper tools and doctors are assembled to work on their case. This hints that stasis isn't gravitic manipulation.

yikes....

and it shouldn't really be that hazardous

>>50536513
Considering safety standards in the Dead Space setting I'm pretty sure OSHA went right out the airlock and launched straight into the sun.

>>50536513
I think the hazard of stasis comes from partially stasising someone. I mean, imagine you're running from someone, and a stasis blast hits the wall next to you, but only catches your arm. You're going at a full run, and your arm suddenly snaps to about one-tenth of that.

Now imagine you're standing on a piece of malfunctioning equipment that suddenly snaps to life, bucking like crazy. Someone tries to stasis it, but misses and catches your upper body as the rest of you, hooked to the machinery, is yanked away.

I totally forgot about the Twitchers makes more sense for the Stasis Field to be what it says on the tin then. Something that slows or as per your example changes the localized perception of entropy?

>>50536041

Good eye on the BPC. No idea if craft smaller than a Planet Cracker would have the room to house an entire BPC.

For thematic horror insta-fetus spare part vats are an appropriate technological innovation.

Mining accidents happen. Especially with the delicious industrial application origins of Issac Clarke's loadout.

The manic abandon of DS planet coring capacities would make Eezo extraction an easier though far more devastating process. I'm thinking the Citadel might be aghast at the idea of processing entire worlds for their juicy centers.

Then again ME2 had that whole planetary resource scanning minigame.

Wondering how advanced the Artificial Intelligence technologies of Dead Space stack up against that of ME? It seems like there's a distinct lack of autonomous devices outside of the little resource gatherer drones from DS3. Though those were more a balm for DLC.

There's the bigass AI mainframe running The Sprawl in DS2 however but that's not very mobile or even all that helpful.

After the thread last night, I had a terrible thought. DS3 meets DC3. That's Dino Crisis 3, aka, "mutated dinosaurs in space." In DS1, there were marker infested infants, which were removed in DS2, then came back in DS3, but they weren't infants. They were dogs. Marker infestation is zoonotic.

In Dino Crisis 3, MTHR, the ship AI of the Ozymandius, when instructed to use genetic tinkering to create a new form of humanity as the colonists of the planet they were being sent to, created several mutated species of dinosaurs. The first one you meet is an Australis, which is basically what a T. Rex would give birth to if it had sex with a tesla coil. The first one you meet is killed by a swarm of little fucks called Rigels, ten foot long, snake-like, legless, eyeless bastards made using Giganotosaurus DNA. Picture related; they're in the middle of crawling inside it and eating it from the inside out.

Now imagine that, infested with Marker bullshit.

Preach, they reversed everything good about dark souls 2 because myazaki is an arrogant prick. This is why the mechanics have stagnated to "only block with weapon in your offhand levels" and the story misses a lot of opportunities to reference the second game. All the while going out of its way to make more and more convoluted references to the first game.

>>50542242
Probably not but due to the nature of the tools since they are used for cracking hard metal asteriods and ship hulls it's not hard to see that a clever engineer with some time and resources could turn them into weapons.

Isaac probably couldn't even sleep in the same bed as his SO without throwing 'bows and kicking.

There is no way in hell that man stays still in his sleep without heavy tranquilizers.

I also wouldn't be surprised if he was a little bit agoraphobic, given how being sealed in a bulky suit was frequently the only thing keeping him alive during the most terrifying times of his life.

>>50544355
I wonder what he would do if somebody triggered him? And I don't mean tumblr trigger, I mean firing a rifle or blowing a grenade near a veteran of the Somme trigger. Would immediately start trying to kill everything? Would he flee to a secure area and lock it down while he builds weapons? Or would he just sorta... shut down, go on auo pilot? These are the things that keep me up at night. How does a man live when hehas seen too much?

>>50544532
Helmet up, stasis down the immediate area, retreat, draw weapon, and lodge himself in the most defensible location he can find in the immediate area, so long as it isn't the Med Bay.

Though it depends on which Isaac we're talking about, cause post-DS2 Isaac shot his triggering alien-brain cancer ghoulfriend to death with mind bullets and was a lot happier after.

>>50544532
the shut down and go in auto IS what isaac did on 3
he just does not work anymore unless theres stress or shit got real

>>50544728
And DS1 Isaac just goes real quiet for a long, long time.
I'd hate to be one of his shipmates.

>>50544796
i like to think that in DS1 he was so scared/halucinating due marker that he only could say yes, no and *grunt*

>>50544894
Well, he didn't get that way until he'd seen Nicole's "Dear John" vid, right? Kendra said he'd been blocking out the memory of the rest of the tape, which implies that he might have seen it with the rest of the crew, or that she just used her special Earth Gov clearance to take a peak, so he might have been miming it up from the very start of the Kellion's jump. However long that took them...

>>50544532

Triggered Isaac wouldn't shut down, he wouldn't have survived this long if that was his response to stress.

Id expect him to freak out and flail around, warding off anything he sees as threatening behavior and diving for safety/any weapon he can get his hands on.

After that, it depends how triggered he is. If he just needs a chance to catch his breath, he will be fine.

But if Isaac goes full-on flashback mode? It would be extremely dangerous for anyone else to be around him.

>>50544532
I'm pretty sure the plasma cutter, line gun, and a few other of his arsenal would cautarize the wounds. So he would'nt necessarily kill people, just dismember them.

>>50545248
Depends on what he's carrying.

The javeline gun alone can impale, electrocute, and -explode-.

Isaac would probably love ME ships. A lot less vents, sharp corners, nooks and crannies. And most of all, effective lighting! Still, if something seriously gave him triggered, you'd have to track him down by following the trail of destructive looting head leave across the ship as he geared himself.

Kinda curious, hod do you think he'd fare against the Flood?

>>50545237
>>50544532
I guess I should've been clearer, what I mean by "shut-down" isn't like him just stopping, I mean he just shuts down his mind and immediately starts acting on instinct.

his mind is chock full of the necromorph signal bullshit, and im willing to bet that the moons are as old as the universe so yeah

>>50546261
Eh, not really. The Flood, once it forms a Gravemind, is the single most intelligent being in known existence, and pretty much immune to mind-fuckery due to the fact that the Flood is actually the corrupted remains of the Precursors, who are the ones who are believed to have seeded the galaxy with life. They are two story tall Psychic crabs that reached "Techno-Gods" level of advancement. So I think the Flood would be immune to Marker fuckery.

The marker imprinted how to destroy markers into his brain. I think he might be the exception, not the rule.

"Alright, you got me." Isaac said as he and Nezala exited the plaza with Shepard and his squad. "What do you need?"

"It's nothing I need, Isaac." Shepard replied sternly. "It's something humanity needs. Me and my team have been working on this for a few months now and-"

"Hold on, lemme stop you right there." Isaac said, immediately catching on to what Shepard was trying to do, and it was worse than he thought. "You're trying to recruit me into something aren't you?!"

Without a way to weasel himself out, Shepard took the direct approach. "I guess you can say that, yeah."

"Oh I'm sorry" Isaac said, laughing both angrily and sarcastically. "This conversation's over-"

"Not if you wanna stay out of the public eye, it's not."

"What do you mean?"

His quarian companion piped up. "Let's keep it brief. We need help fighting a secret war against a shadowy menace that's been kidnapping humans across the galaxy."

"Which same threat is planning to eliminate all life in the galaxy" said Shepard. :o one believes us but a select few in teh government. We need all the help we can get and that includes you. Trust us, there's not any headlines with our fa-"

"I don't think they told you my story, Shepard." Isaac said sternly, his facetious smile broadening out into a tooth-gritting glare as he began to walk back and away. "I don't care if you're fighting killer freaking teddy bears, I'm not spending the rest of my life fighting."

Shepard saw a critical flaw in Isaac's argument. "Who said anything about you fighting?"

"What?"

"He's saying that if you wanna wimp out and laze around on the ship, you can." said the large, menacing creature accompanying Shepard.

"Yes, thank you Grunt..." Shepard replied with chagrin. "Look, I'm not trying to turn you into a soldier. What I am saying is that we're onto something that could mean the difference between life and death for billions. We need your help. From what the admiralty board has told us from preliminary reports, you've got stuff in that junkyard that can revolutionize our world. We heard of something called a 'shockdrive' in their reports. According to written descriptions found in your camp, that technology allows one to travel without use of a relay. We could use that. The whole galaxy can use that."

"What, so you want me to personally install this stuff for you?"

"We have an engineering team for that." Shepard replied. "The thing is, we have several friends in high places that you won't be able to get to yourself, including the Council."

"And so you want to be my ticket to the country club, huh?"

"If that's the way you wanna put it yeah."

Isaac was getting suspicious. This paramilitary guy has been pandering to him and siding with him this whole time without really putting his own chips on the table. Only thing he really seemed to want to do was take Isaac where he need to go to get things set in motion with the tech. He did still admit to "recruiting" him, however. Perhaps he just wanted the cred of having Isaac on board. This wan't going to be an easy decision to make. "I'll have to think about it..."

"Well, you've got over a week. We'll see you after your presentation. Think that'll be enough time?"

"Yeah.. yeah, it should be enough time."

"Good to hear. and hey...."

"What"?

"I think you could use this." Shepard then tossed some sort of odd device at Isaac. It was small and metallic and looked like it could be strapped around the wrist.

"What is this?" asked Isaac

"Omni-tool." Shepard replied. "We use them to communicate, wage cybernetic warfare, browse the extranet, you name it."

"My RIG can do that..."

"Well, until it can communicate with everyone else around here, I advise you use that. Be seeing you Isaac. We'll keep you posted." Shepard said as he and his team walked off tot eh docking bays.

"See ya..."

Right instead of slowing others down they speed themselves up. So what if instead of throwing others around they pulled others towards themselves. You'd find yourself inching towards it and the pull on you would get stronger the more you tried to move away from it so the best thing you could do is stand your ground and fight it, but thete would ve other necromorphs to deal with coming at you even faster because they too are in its gravwell. As more pass you they are trapped near it unwittingly becoming its sword and shield with all of their scythes and teeth and sinew.

Sorry, I've been depressed lately

So, what would Issac actually be like as a person?

I mean, him being all Crazy Awesome is fun for a while, but I feel as though it's leaving some stuff out.

What is his reaction to turning up in the ME universe, a place that (though not without its own demons) is pretty bright, compared to what he knew?

What does he feel about (potentially) a place free of the Markers and Necromorphs? Can he move on from that and actually rebuild himself as a person in this new world, or is that beyond him?

>>50563222
Isaac just wants a quiet life, I can imagine he'd like to just go back to being a humble space engineer doing his good work and nor having to fear for is life

>>50554542
I was thinking about this yesterday when I was brainstorming, I came up with a whole slew of necromorph enemies

I'm gonna save the REALLY good ones, but i'll share a few concepts

>Hanar Guardian- same as the DS guardian really, maybe make the tentacles actually hit issac from afar rather than deploy torso's
>The Ooze- A pinkish blob that is able to redistribute its body mass and meld in with corruption. When it "travels" in the corruption, said corruption gives off bio luminescence. It can only travel through the existing corruption and make tentacles and shit to whip at Issac. You have to use AOE to destroy the corruption or stasis tentacles.
>The Spider- Like the converter except that the hanars tentacles have become semi-rigid, and can scuttle along walls. They can use tentacles to grab up corpses and infect them. They can also hide on the ceiling and strangle unsuspecting victims.

>>50563244
Even though his education and experience are now worth very little?

Can't just go and get a new arm grown if your old one gets crushed flat by a 30-ton I-beam or whatever, and most of the dangerous spacecraft repair/mining probably gets done via robot in Mass Effect.

Not to mention how they use a totally different means of FTL (and other tech) than the shockpoint drive and all of his gravity-manipulating tech (although there's probably some common ground with how gravity and mass are related).

what the fuck does this have to do with 'traditional games'

Fuck off go back to /v/

>>50563426
>implying /v/ would ever permit such fun

>>50563222
It'd be the Call of Cthulhu ending: he'd be admitted into a psychiatric ward for a very long time

Isaac is so goddamn broken that he'd probably be more of a menace and a danger to other people

>>50563222

We know what Isaac would be like. We saw it at the start of DS3.

He would just sit, alone, in his apartment and drink himself into oblivion.

I imagine Isaac, transplanted into Mass Effect, finds that his tech expertise is sort of useless as a profession here, and any savings he had are in another fucking dimension.

I imagine he takes up residence as a weird engineer on some colony world or backwater station, fixing what he can and really digging in to the new mass effect technology he is seeing to distract himself. Probably using spare parts and scrap metal to cobble together makeshift versions of tools and technology he knows and understands. His goal is to work his way up to building his own shockpoint-capable private ship. Not to sell, but just so he can go wherever he wants.

I imagine he doesn't trust aliens all that much. He thinks they are weird, and before coming here his only experience with alien stuff was the Markers.

I also imagine that wherever he lives, he basically has a saferoom that he sleeps in that has thick walls, no vents, lots of locks and is stocked with food, water and weapons. Sometimes he just stays there, hiding from the world until his mood improves.

>>50563729
Hell, that's probably what he'd be like with the Normandy crew. Sure, they'd see little glimpses of who he was while they're on a mission, or when he's helping with some maintenance on the ship, but really he'd just be 'there'. Just, sitting in the observatory, staring at the ghosts between the stars and hearing them whisper in his dreams on the off-chance he fell asleep on his own, without the help of pills or liquor. He survived the nightmare, no doubt, but certainly not intact. Isaac Clarke is a broken man who has seen far too much.

>>50563899

Which is funny, because he does all of that, but any time he goes onto a station he is probably drowning in Asari.

Asari are, after all, drawn to strong and singular individuals. The really impressive specimens. Its how they seek out the 'best' genes.

Isaac is going to intrigue any Asari that speaks to him for any length of time. He is one of the most unique individuals in the galaxy.

Not sure if Asari mindsex would be a good thing for him or a really bad one, though. Could go either way. It could held take the edge off of his trauma for a while, or trigger a flashback.

>>50564246
I doubt he'd go for it, as much for their benafit as his own, the knowledge in his head has driven others mad and he would never want to inflict it on anyone else

>>50564246
Or just make the Asari go full "MAKE US WHOLE!".

>>50563899
>>50563729
>>50563486
Yet, around the one known as Shepard, the impossible has a strange way of merely being difficult.

For starters, there's a good chance that Shepard has some considerable trauma of their own (Colonist, Ruthless, Sole Survivor, etc) and thus may be able to find some common ground with Isaac. Even if they're not, Shepard has some considerable natural skill in this area, and the resources to help further.

And that's not mentioning Shepard's crew, who are hardly ordinary themselves. Maybe it's just personal bias, but I see Isaac finding a curious companionship with Jack (although her tendency to break things might cheese him off after a while), since she might have some idea what being the crazy one is like.

Y'know, food for thought.

>>50564278

Yep.

So imagine a very tired, exasperated Isaac in a bar on the Citadel with his head in his hands, bemoaning that he just wants a fucking drink and to be left alone, with Asari on either side of him giving him hungry eyes.

>>50564284
Nah. A space monster-god thing got into Isaac's head at the end of DS:2 and he blasted it into nothing with the power of his mind.

It's gone.

It's dead.

Damn right he's going to be up to his ears in Azure.

>>50564343
God damn it's like being the world's most attractive AIDs victim, everyone wants it but you don't want to give them the sickness, the ultimate blueballs

>>50564340

I like to imagine that Isaac would get along great with Legion and EDI. Partly because he is up at odd hours of the night and can't sleep, and they give him someone to talk to. But on top of that, they can't be necromorphed and the signal doesn't effect them so he never has nightmares about them with arm scythes and zombie faces. Also, as an engineer, he probably just thinks robots are cool.

Tali is probably more interested in his suit and tech than she is with him as a person. I suspect she would find his dead-eyed thousand yard stare super disconcerting and just be very uncomfortable around him.

Shepherd and Isaac probably have an unspoken understanding of each other. They both know what it's like to be the one man standing against horrible space evil that fucks with your head. Isaac ended up more broken than Shep did, but that may be because Isaac had to do it alone. Shep has always had a team to help him/her along the way.

Liara is probably too interested in the Marker and its history/origins for Isaac.

I don't see Isaac as getting along especially well with any of the super military types. He has had some bad experiences with the military, and he seems to get fed up with 'alpha male' types in DS3 pretty quickly.

Jack is probably attracted to Issac because she is drawn to risk and danger. Isaac miiiight warm up to her? Maybe, maybe not. Depends on a lot of factors.

Miranda probably would kick Isaac off of the ship if she could. Zaeed too. They can both see that Isaac is a timebomb waiting to go off.

>>50564485
>Miranda probably would kick Isaac off of the ship if she could.
I'm not too sure about Miranda, honestly. Isaac might be unaccustomed to dealing with governmental types (a rogue state, in the case of Cerberus), but I think she'd understand after a while that he's not a violent person by habit, like Jack is.

He's someone who's been backed into a corner and poked enough that his fear tipped over into desperate rage, and now that he's no longer in a situation where he needs to pulverize corpses to keep them from attacking him, he might be able to go back to what he used to be before his life went to shit.

As long as she doesn't push him hard enough that the "raving feral" part of his brain classes her as an enemy during the period where they're still trying to find eachother's measure, I think they could get along.

>>50564670
And what if she does press him to far?

Something that's just occurred to me.

We all make jokes about Isaac stomping on stuff, but think about how stamping on corpses and suchlike hard enough to snap bones must feel, even through his heavy boots.

No wonder he swears so much...

>>50564703
>And what if she does press him too far?
Then he never speaks to her again.

Like how the vast majority of players react to her, come to think of it.

>>50564670

Maybe they could grow to tolerate or even like each other. But first impressions would be bad.

Miranda would see him as either a danger to the crew waiting to happen... or worse, a Cerberus Asset with his knowledge of unique technology and exposure to weird alien tech. It would be a very Cerberus thing to do to try and disappear him into a lab if he ever tried to leave.

Meanwhile, I feel like Isaac would Miranda sort of on principal. She is this cool, collected clinical bitch working for a secretive organization that delves into dangerous tech. Isaac has met a bunch of Unitologists that acted a lot like Miranda, convinced that the ends justified the means and that their ideology was in the right.

As Miranda grows beyond being the Illusive Man's puppet, and Isaac becomes a more reliable member of the team, a lot of these impression will probably fade away so long as nothing happens to aggravate them.

>>50564744
It's almost like she is an insufferable cunt.

> This is the tipping point that sends Issac back into the depths of madness. This is where he gets sent to the insane asylum that you find him in during his recruitment mission for Mass Effect 2, the infamous bucket-head microwave gun incident. Which only happened, of course, because Isaac heard that Shepard, who he saw die in front of him, was 'coming for him' and took news of his friend's resurrection VERY badly.

>>50564703

If she manages to just annoy him enough to make him feel shit then
>>50564744

But if she intentionally aggravates him to the point his fight or flight reflexes kick in then he dismembers her with tears in his eyes because now he's in The Sprawl again. It will always be with him.

>>50564811

Weirdly, I could tolerate Miranda but I dropped Kelly as soon as she turned out to be space-racist against all of my best friends.

>>50564785
>As Miranda grows beyond being the Illusive Man's puppet, and Isaac becomes a more reliable member of the team, a lot of these impression will probably fade away so long as nothing happens to aggravate them.
Mhm, you've got a good point there.

Were I a fanfiction man (and I am, when I've got more time), I'd probably think of something where the two of them get stuck in an escape pod or something, with nothing to do but talk. Maybe I could have Miranda be injured or something, so Isaac actually has to interact with her.

>>50564930
I found Kelly and Miranda tolerable, although I never once took Miranda on a mission if there was an option.

Jacob on the other hand. Why was he on the ship?

>>50564961
>Jacob on the other hand. Why was he on the ship?
If memory serves, it's precisely *because* he's relatively boring compared to the rest of them. He's supposed to be a stabilizing influence, although him being under Miranda (in more ways than one, if you believe the fanon mmhyes) kinda punches a hole in that.

>>50564912
That is fucking awesome.

And after Shepard finally chases Isaac down, through ever corridor, tracking him through every air vent and crawl space, surviving every trap and obstacle and finds the broken man that Isaac has become at the end of a dead end corridor.

He's on his knees and he's ready to die. In his mind he has finally gone totally, irreparably bonkers or Shepard is a necromorph because he couldn't save him and somehow ballsed up making sure he could rest in peace.

Either way he doesn't care enough to run anymore and he is too tired to fight. Or it's the sedatives still floating around in his system doing the talking.

He recovers somewhat after a good meal in good company and retrieving his suit from storage.

When they boarded the Collector Ship he was so pissed off and back to his usual self that the rest of them were struggling to keep up.

In a 3 man group consisting of Isaac, Shepard and Tali you get Isaac up front with some engineering equipment being used improperly, out of breath Shepard slightly behind him picking of things trying to sneak up and Tali between them whose job it is to carry ammunition and exchange thermal clips becasue there are no brakes on the Isaac train.

Harbinger barely gets past "Assuming Direc-" before the Legendary Boot comes down and it has to start again.

im probably a minorty here but id like to see how isaac works with samara and thane
that whole religion thing whould be a hard thing for isaac to not get pissed, probably

>>50565608
Eh, you never know. Once he saw that there are space-religions that *don't* involve worshipping evil space-monsters (Legion looks around uncomfortably) he might get on fairly well with them.

>>50535654
To be frank i never really liked dead space. It has a cool concept, but the fact that Isaac is a one man army that blast through everthing in his way just killed the setting for me. I mean, there is only a limited amount of "evil monsters that are very evil and very monstery" that you can blast through before you stop considering them a threat. The real quastion is, how can the army be so fucking inocompetent

>>50565608
Well with Thane he's not killing for his religion, nor is he forcing anyone to convert, he's basically just a space christian hitman.
Samara's religion is basically a code of laws, and requires no one other than justicars to follow, basically Dredd if he was religious.
So really, I don't think that he'd have a problem with them

>>50565673

"Boy Legion, I sure am glad that you Geth are not vulnerable to the Marker signal."

"That assertion is not entirely correct."

"...what are you saying, Legion?"

"Geth platforms can transmit and receive on a wide range of channels. The Marker Signal, as you call it, falls within that range. This platform has even been exposed to a portion of it through extended contact with the remnant that exists within you. Its wants and desires are as much a portion of my collective as any Geth program now."

"So wait. Are you going to go crazy and start building fucking Markers!?"

"That outcome is unlikely."

"I don't understand."

"That course of action has been suggest on several occasions. However, it has been outvoted every time. Its not an action relevant to our current goals."

>>50564930
That's because there's a sort of honesty to Miranda's bitchyness, Kellys on the other hand comes off as insincere

>>50565793
The Geth can veto the marker simply by being a genuine hive mind, ironically the upgrades they can get in 3 would remove this strength

I'm more interested in a combined setting then a crossover, where the brethren moons are the largest of the reapers, the markers are adbabied indoctrination devices and the collector facility is basically a safe convergence environment, the husks would all be necromorph builds of various types, the constant use of engineering tools a means of bypassing their resistence to conventional weapons, Omnitools and RIGs working in synch, the Charon Relay discovered with the first or second attempt at planet cracking, shock point drove research gets shelved with how reliable the relays are

>>50565952
Ah, you mean a fusion fic. That's fair enough, how would you deal with the thing in Dead Space where the Brethren Moons are implied to have eaten all other sentient life in the galaxy, versus the Reapers deliberately leaving and coming back?

>>50565994
The reapers cycle set up is more viable for story telling with aliens then the brethren moons eating constantly, it's also more pracrobat in long term, the moons go dormant to allow another generation of civilizations develop, some staying in galaxy as sentinels and others in dark space, perhaps moving between galaxies, with a few active vanguards to manage the cycle, these would be the smaller dreadnoughts sized reapers, while the moons would basically be if unicorn took design tips from HR Giger, serving as the leadership level of the reapers, in the place of an indoctrinated cerberus you have to gave unitologist cultists of varying stripes, some with cerebrum tech, though that other faiths manage to exist in this setting helps a tiny bit.

Depending on how far off the edge she pushed him. It could range anywhere from actively avoiding interacting with her, to Miranda suddenly finding herself missing a limb or two if she triggers Ishimura flashbacks.

I like to think that every time Isaac goes on a mission with the rest of the team, he always ends up getting separated from the others. Its just his thing. Even in his own games, you can barely walk 10 feet before any friendly NPCs end up getting trapped behind doors or in other parts of the shit or something.

So Shepard brings him along, somehow they get split up, and they don't see Isaac for a long time. Until, near the end of the mission, Isaac shows up just fucking covered in blood.

"Jesus, Isaac. What happened to you this time?"

"About an entire dropship full of Blue Suns."

"Wait, the Blue Suns are here?"

"Yeah, I guess. You didn't see any? I figured they were here for the same files we are."

"No... didn't see a single one."

"...weird. We are done here, right?"

You are never entirely sure about the little adventures he goes off on. Its obvious he is killing, just, a lot of people. Like a lot a lot. And the few times you have him actually with you in a fight, his weapons are pretty strong. But some of the stories he tells... he can't really be doing THAT much damage, is he? Like that time he got separated on the collector station, that story about him taking on five Preatorians at once... that has to be bullshit.

Right?

>>50535685
this so much, the 3rd was basically just an action game, and the crafting system with the mods made things too easy
lightning gun with an underslung flamethrower and the stasis module with a plasma cutter as your secondary and its actually impossible to lose unless you're playing on the hardest difficulty

>>50566394
I don't know about that, she can defend herself, you know.

Doubt Isaac has much in the way of martial arts experience beyond "throw it to the ground and kick it/stamp on it/blast it with all firepower immediately available to hand.

>>50566889
>"Wait, the Blue Suns are here?"

"Yes, well, I mean they were. They're dead now."

>>50566927

Don't worry, anon. That's what that stupid ice-climbing minigame is for!

Everyone likes dying over and over again for hours because Issac can't decide whether jumping from a particular spot will land safely or fall to his death, right? RNG is exactly what you want in a jumping puzzle, right?

I feel like in a shared universe Shepard and Clark would have their own games focusing in their angles on the same galaxy spanning events, hell Clark could evendors be customizable like Shepard and meetings between the two could be solidified via data transfer, you'd have to be Izzy Clark, wich could stand for Isaac or Isabella.

Purely on the mass effect side of things, I was always slightly dissapointed by the Banshee, I wanted to see something arguably more horrifying, the asari made into highly refined creatures not dissimilar to collectors, with the implication that they are to be the equivalent of the collectors for the next cycle

"Isaac, we are here to talk."

"Oh. Okay... wow, is everyone on the Normandy here?"

"Listen, Isaac... this is an intervention."

"For the booze? Fucks sake, Shepard. You know its the only thing that lets me sleep..."

"No! God, no. Drink as much as you like."

"Then what the hell is this about?"

"Isaac... you really, really need to stop nailing people to walls."

"What."

"Seriously. For a while it was just you using your biotics-"

"Actually its called a Kinesis module."

"Whatever the fuck you want to call it, Isaac. You would occasionally just throw stuff at people. And that's okay sometimes. Jack does it too. But ever since you built that goddamn harpoon gun, every mission has been a horror show. Its like a Space Depot sneezed and killed ten people. Its like walking through a science exhibit of rare bugs. Its like-"

"Okay, I get it."

"Its like the hallway is a bulletin board, and the NOTES ARE PEOPLE."

Its a continuation of a very popular series of threads from last year that started off being about Dead Space and derailed specifically into Isaac Clarke as a recruitable team member in mass effect. Weirdly specific, I know, but there is some kinda magic there where the concept just churns out gold. Art, writefaggotry, you name it.

Technically the thread can include other dead space discussion or crossover stuff, but the Mass Effect/Dead Space mashup is what seems to be the most successful. Its certainly why I am here.

So if you feel like the thread is schizophrenic, its probably because you were not in on the context of the thread. But thats whats going on.

Actually, I've been here from the very start. What I meant was that the constant stories about Isaac about the greatest badass ever is starting to grate on my nerves a little.

Feel free to disagree with me, you're entitled to your opinions.

>>50568514

Agreed. The mashup is best when exporting Isaac's interactions with the other characters and the setting.

The other characters should be kind of shocked and occasionally horrified by Isaac. His does, after all, have an alarming tendency to dismember people. But that does not make him a badass, it makes him a psychopath.

>Whenever confronted with enemies, Isaac is the only one that doesn't jump into cover immediately.
>He doesn't quite stand there, but he doesn't move a whole lot, either.
>Really, nobody knows exactly what he does during a fight. At some point the Stasis is so thick that it gets hard to see, and all the plasma begins to warp optics.
>Maybe Isaac has a weapon somewhere that he's scary accurate with. Some sort of concussive hammer, something he's developed a penchant for hitting enemies in the head with.
>But that still doesn't explain why his boots are covered with an astonishing amount of blood.

>>50568634
>The other characters should be kind of shocked and occasionally horrified by Isaac. His does, after all, have an alarming tendency to dismember people. But that does not make him a badass, it makes him a psychopath.
Dismembering stuff and stamping on corpses was a habit forced on Isaac by the circumstances. It was either that or die.

I don't think it'd be not something he'd do as a matter of course. Honestly, I can see him as not wanting to join Shepard on the vast majority of their missions because it'll involve having to kill people for reasons aside from "desperate necessity".

He might just want to use his new lease on life to try and finally put all that stuff behind himself.

>>50568514
I see where you're coming from man, but I still like them because of how ridiculous and funny they are. However, I do still agree with you, which is why you can tell which posts are mine by how depressing they are. Isaac is a badass, no doubt, but he is also a broken man who cannot escape his past, because it won't let him.

>>50568419
Shepard = Doc Manhattan
Garrus = Reeves
Jack = Wolverine
Tali = Spiderman
Grunt = Fat lex luthor

>>50568828

And that's a great interpretation for the character. If you assume he joined up during Mass Effect 1, then fighting the Geth would have been the best starting point for him. The Geth are robots, he can probably handle shooting robots. And Husks... just FUCK those things.

DS3 did show that Isaac isn't exactly UNwilling to shoot at people, but in those cases it was mostly Untiologists. Unitologists are almost not even people, and they started it.

But yeah, I thing Isaac defining feature is 'what it takes to survive'. He doesn't seek out fights like this. The first one he stumbled into, the second he woke up in the middle of, and the third he basically had to be dragged back into until everything became so fucked the only direction was forward.

A lot of Mass Effect he might very well sit out. After all, this isn't even his universe. But once the shit hits the fan, Isaac will probably act to defend himself, his friends, and eventually the world. He would be very unhappy about being dragged into the fight against the Reapers, but what other choice is there? Not fighting them?

>>50568514
I don't like it when Isaac is made into a mary sue BAMF, but I do like seeing his unique brand of insanity clash into other settings, so i kinda agree with you

Especially because Clarke was genuinely HAUNTED, as in an external intrusive psychic force, by his past and still has the holes in his psyche that the Marker signal and later communion with the Brother Moons left in him.

All in all I'm wondering how Prothean sensation dumps and Reaper Indoctrination would have any access points after all the cosmic rewiring Clarke's greymatter has gone though.

Also what about all the junk ass pop culture assets that Clarke brought over copyright free now that he has crossed dimensions. F33L anyone?

>>50569035
I knew who it was, no need to be pedantic

>>50569012
I like him being brutally efficient in battle and nearly fearless, but not invincible. Isaac could take a bit of a lickin, but necromorphs could still kick his shit it in with relative ease if they could get within arms reach of him.

>>50569331
>brutally efficient in battle and nearly fearless,

See, I don't even know about that.

By DS3 he was practically like "lol scrubs can't even dismember, git gud", yeah, but that was with necromorphs. He's used to them by this point and he knows how to deal with them. Now, I don't think he'd wuss out with anything new, but he certainly won't be a pro merc-killer overnight

I think you misunderstand the inherent of Isaac nigger-rigging random shit into usable tools and weapons.

It's not because he is MacGuyver. It's because literally everything around him malfunctions in Dead Space. It's literally a survival skill for him at this point. If he was unable to arbitrarily nigger-rig shit into working contraptions, he would never get anywhere.

This is basically how the Chozo in Metroid work. In fact, that is how EVERY scientist in the metroid setting works. But with varying degrees of competence.

Lemme give an example:

Chozo

>Chozo 1: We've discovered a planet full of near impossible to kill mimic parasites that could doom the galaxy on SR388.
>Chozo 2: This is a problem. What should we do.
>Chozo 1: Let's create an equally near impossible to kill hyper-predator who feed off them and randomly populate the planet with them.
>Chozo 2: ...could we not just blow the planet up? We HAVE a planetary scale destruct charge right here in Tourain. We could literally just shove this thing onto a shuttle and fly it into the planet.
>Chozo 1: ITS TOO LATE I AM DOING A SCIENCE!!!1!!!!1!!!!
>Chozo 2: *sigh*
>Mother Brain: That's okay Chozo 2, I thought your idea to remove the one safeguard that's stopping me from eradicating your pathetic dwindling species was a good one.
>Chozo 2: Thanks Mother Bra...wait what?

Space Pirates
>SP1: Let's expose this metroid to radiation to make it breed!
>SP2: Oh, all it's done is make it grow big... and horrifying.
>SP1: ...Let's do this to Kraid next!
>SP2: But how will he get out of Zebes if we do that?
>SP1: We could build him some tubes!
>SP2: TUUUUUUUUUUUUBES
>SP1: TUUUUUUUUUUUUBES

Human Federation
>Scientist 1: Let's try to clone metroids and breed X parasistes at the same time!
>Scientist 2: They've already escaped and killed us all.
>[and scientist 1 and 2 were X]

>Isaac was not born whole

why did I laugh

>>50578134
And that's a fact.

Even the official art-book says so.

Just reinstalled DS1, which means none of my previous saves are available. Starting from complete scratch. Which weapons should I use? I always use cutter as my primary, and pick one other weapon to upgrade as my secondary. So far I've done cutter/force gun, cutter/contact beam, cutter/ripper. Which one should I use this time round? Leaning towards the pulse rifle, but line gun could be fun too.

To keep it /tg/, what would happen if the necromorphs met the tyranids? Would the marker btfo the hive mind, or would nids gobble the morphs and become even more horrifying?

>>50578525
Personally, I would use the pulse rifle, the secondary fire is great for clearing arenas.

>>50578525
It would probably turn into something akin to a stalemate
>nid dies
>nid becomes necromorph
>necro dies but not before killing one

>>50578525
Do the flamethrower and necros vs nids would probably just stalemate.

>>50578525

Line Gun made that first semi-boss fight against the Black Necromorph and the Implanter in the Morgue when you're trying to get the Captains keycodes an absolute doddle. I just popped a laser mine down in front of them, waited for it to break the glass and then finished the Black one off with the rest of the Line Gun clip.

>>50578604

You might as well just tell him to do a solo-Plasma Cutter run.

>>50578604
>>50578594
Guess I'm going pulse rifle, I love the idea of the flamer but it's just too shitty and uses ammo too quickly. Line gun sounds op, I'm liking how much more tense the game is without all my upgraded weapons and suits. Thanks guys.

And on reflection, tyranids would btfo necromorphs pretty easy now I think about it. Bio acid, fleshborers etc

>>50578525
Gonna sound mad Vanilla, but just dump everything into the RIG and plasma cutter. Save yourself some nodes

Also, I'm wondering if those two hive minds would just end up fusing

>>50579619
if we are using the tyranid hivemind im pretty sure the moon lose by default, they aint big enough

but insolated groups of tyranids? now that is free corpses for the markers

>>50578525
I really like the line gun- its basically a plasma cutter+ which can only fire horizontal- so it's great for leg removal and lurker killing.

this thread needs to live!

>>50578525
Honestly, my weapon of choices is Ripper for clearing swarms, Contact Beam for anus-boss and Line Gun for everything else.

>>50582068
Ahh the good ol' Kiensaw

I feel as though there should've been more melee weapons in Dead Space.

>>50582228
But... There is a STOMP and PUNCH! What else do you you need?

>>50582320
Well, before I got the game and all I knew was from promos, I thought the ripper was a hand-weapon.

>>50582068
Honestly, I was forced to use a fucking ripper through whole game as main gun through sheer amount of ammo to this thing. Honestly, this space mining ship sure does have a LOT of industrial saws.

It seems to me that they would just meld together into an amorphous mass of FUCK. They both seem to have the same basic goal (consume whatever is consumable), so you'd just end up with Necronids that could spontaneously sprout new limbs and perhaps also spontaneously come back to life even after being killed, along with producing even more gigantic bio-forms and joining multiple individual creatures together to rapidly form larger ones.

>>50582482
Why would bayonets be any use against Necromorphs?

>>50582631
God can you imagine the moment the necromorphs manage to kill a bio titan and it starts to turn.

Or rather, I saw it through him. It tried to speak to me, to whisper its damning words in my mind. But he stopped it before it could. But I know why he stares into the void now, even though he believes not in the Goddess. He see the ghosts and demons of his past, and hears their whispers in his ear, he knows its ends.

Yeah, that's probably it

Mass Effect/Dead Space crossover is all good and all, but what if Dead Space/Alien crossover with Ripley?
I mean, it fits. Both are corporate employees trapped on a malfunctioning ship by cosmic horror menace, which they fight off successfully despite the odds.

"We have a problem."

"Whats wrong?"

"The protheans, there is a reason they never completed the crucible. It's power requirements are incredible massive. Even plugging this thing into the citadel wouldn't be enough. We would need to harness the power of a star to meet these requirements, and its not like we can just do that. Unless we can come up with some kind of huge powersource, this isn't going to work."

The room goes quiet as the news sinks in. Isaac stands up and starts pacing frantically.

"Is everything okay, Isaac?"

Isaac doesn't respond, he just keeps whispering to himself in his helmet.

"Isaac!"

He snaps out of it. "Huh?"

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just... god, I don't even want to say it. How... how much power do you need, exactly?"

He doesn't even notice his hand moving almost by itself, tracing a crude image of a Marker on the table.

>>50452300

you really should learn to link properly

>>50584260
Ohhohohohoh, shit, now there's an idea.

>>50584253

Might be cool. even works easier that the Dead Space/Mass Effect mashup in terms of how it happens.

Instead of transplanting Isaac into Aliens, transplant Ripley into Dead Space. Its a really easy sell to say that Ripley is simply from earlier in the Dead Space timeline. before planet cracking, before stasis. The early days of extrasolar mining, before they got good at it.

She goes into hypersleep, doesn't get found until much, much later.

Not sure when she should show up in Isaac's story, or how they would have any chance to really meet up. The only thing I can think of is her being on the Sprawl during DS2, but that sort of feels wrong.

Does it get better? Do I at least get to kill these fucks? Why did they think that it was a good idea to get Isaac cucked in the first place?

>>50586920

They needed Isaac to get cucked so you can win Ellie's affections all over again. Video games (and EA especially) don't really know how to deal with relationships beyond the 'winning the girl' arc. Its why Nathan Drake gets back together with whatserface every game and then their relationship falls apart again between games so it can reset.

To be fair, Isaac is... not good relationship material. He can perform a rescue like nobodies business, but he is too crazy, broken, and recently out of a relationship with an undead space horror to really be marriagable.
