The Mind-Altering Markers | Dead Space Lore 

Make Us Whole by watching, leaving a like, sub and nice comment :)

Maybe it wasnt about the dismembered necromorphs along the way, Maybe it was the marker signal inside us all along...oh God

Maybe the necromorphs were a long dead races attempt at immortality, that either went horribly right or horribly wrong.

Ironic that Altman was trying to contain or destroy the Marker but his death inspired a cult that worshipped it and the Necromorphs as gods.

Our boy Isaac was to much of a big brain for the marker to absorbed.😺

I absolutely adore the lore of this universe, it's so eldritch and inspired by Lovecraftian horror that it's so unique. It's like Fallout, you can't get this experience anywhere else 🔥🔥🔥

I was a brain once then I took a necromorph to the knee.

I was hoping Dead Space Remake to be a direct sequel to Dead Space 3 and it’s DLC Awakened. In DS3, the aliens of Tau Volantis had technology that humans didn’t know how to operate. Like Isaac said in Awakened DLC “we don’t know what that technology can do” I wish we explored more about Tau Volantis, than what we were given. A love triangle.. the whole galaxy is reaching the end and they give us a love triangle.

A problem with Dead Space lore is that they were making it up as each new bit of media was being created. I'm watching a video series right now that has an original dev of 2008, DS2 and DS3 comment on the remake. He says back in Dead Space 2008 , the devs had no concept of Convergence. So that explains the Marker purpose drift between the early media and Dead Space 2.

Only played the first game, and it was one of the most stressful games I've ever played.

Isaac, make us whole again

Only the Imperium of Man would have any hope of defeating these monsters.

There's alot of bits in Dead Space 1 specifically I don't understand. Why does the Red Marker want to be reunited with it's pedestal? I didn't understand in 2008 and I don't get it now. If Kendra works for EarthGov and wants the Marker gone why not just let it be destroyed down on the planet instead of trying to fly away with it where it'll likely just be found again? If the Ishimura's comms are fucked how did Nicole send the message at the beginning of the game? Why does she not mention anything about necromorphs? You'd think she'd be more forthcoming with the fact the ship is overrun with monsters. Nah, she just wants to tell Isaac she's sad. Why was Nicole the only one able to send a message? Why does the beacon require the comms array to be functional? Isn't the point of an emergency beacon is to able to send out a signal without the use of your regular equipment? If the Valor was sent in to destroy the ship why bother picking up an escape pod and try making contact with the ship? What, did they want to have a chat before killing everyone? If EarthGov knows the danger of the Marker why send just Kendra do deal with it? Not only that but send a warship soon afterwards and tell them jack shit of what they'll encounter? I get that want to keep the Marker a secret but they could have at least told them to steer clear of the ship and not pick anything up along the way. I love this series by the way it just feels like the first game, as much as I adore it, has many holes in it.

Dead space isn't a story about Issac, it's about space dying. (And everything else dying as well)

To think a space rock can make you lose your mind and turned you into a monster

Still enjoy the weapon crafting in DS3 I get what people say about the ending of DS3 however I still enjoy it. No matter the similarities, I will forever enjoy the weapon crafting/blue printing innovative feature. I still hope we get not only more sequels but find out how and when they stop the brotherin moons and their origins and possibly more aliens/planets

I always thought Marker was like that Dark Heart that appears in the Justice League cartoon, an ultimate annihilation weapon that gone out of control of the creator. Anyway, great video👍.

Wild me and my friend was just talking about this.

How convenient for this right after i beat dead space 2 for the first time just 20 mins ago lol. I wanted to know more. Thanks for the video🤙🏻

MAKE US WHOLE. Finally more dead space lore

I always pick up little bits of lore from games like these but sometimes there's just so much or the info comes in out of chronological order and it can get confusing. Your vids always really help to put the pieces together with the games they're from. Loved this one, for sure! Well played!

My new crusade is to like all your videos. Absolutely love your channel and presentations of lore. Thanks for another awesome upload to listen to. Keep up the good work Hero WiseFish.

I always look forward to your uploads. Thank you, Mr. Fish!!

My guess they wanted the markers to surround there main compounds for protection and have the necromorphs purify the population making it easy to get loads of new followers fast, a literal convert or die situation.

anyone else notice that nicole is sitting the same way she died at the end beside isaac

The plausible origin for the necromorphs is that some highly advanced civilization create them eons ago as a way of eliminating competition on a galactic scale. Resource competition is fierce here on earth. It would be far, far worse if civilizations were competing for planetary resources.

Thank you for the video! And I love your content!

Never a dull day when it comes to wise fish :D

However the story of Dead Space ends, it won't be a happy one. I reckon that Isaac will manage to stop the Brethren, but Earth will be destroyed and humanity will be reduced to few scattered colonies, barely holding themselves together and facing extinction within a generation or two. The only bright side being that there are no more Markers left to influence the human race and that our future, whatever it may be, will truly be ours to determine for ourselves.

Love the Roanoke gaming mention

Actually the two people that killed him were people he worked with and they locked him in a room with a bruit

I always saw the black marker as a freaky alien sex cell. And the brethren moons were the ones truly in control.

simple organ? okay ill keep watching now

Great video just one small gripe. The brain is not a simple organ, it's no exaggeration to call the human brain the most complex physical structure in the universe. EDIT: that we know of, aliens might be freaky.

Praise Altman. He will make us whole ❤

3lb cemo'electric* anxiety machine. Roanoke gaming

I wouldnt call a brethren moon a necromorph. Its the original parasitic alien race. They have consciousness, they have brains. They are alive.

My headcanon is that the markers origin is from a previous universe which proceeded the big bang, so they are slightly older than the universe in my headcanon.

Brain cells

Perhaps the markers were an attempt to create some sort of super weapon Turning enemies into allies Drop one into enemie territory and just let it do it's job And with every other attempt to create something like this we can guess how it ended

Ishimura needed Haloperidol . a lots of it :D

make uss wHOLEE

If we ever get a dead space 4. They're going to have to bring in another alien force that helps humanity. Or end humanity in completely despite Issac's efforts. Which would be a daring end because some people need a good ending to say they liked the type of media.

I wonder if Markers are brethren moon-poops.

This comment is months old compared to the video but im new to dead space (childhood was lame). This all started from a random race of being launching a wifi booster into space and it so happens that the wifi signal drives anyone that comes into slight contact with it insane to the point of self deletion. Wow. And im just a random guy named issac trying to fight through HOURS AND HOURS of raging sharp arm’d abominations while ALSO being manipulated into doing stuff for a wifi booster. dope

Despite all Isaac had gone through, earth is still fucked.

Breathing Moon: They are hungry. The are coming..... DOOMSLAYER: NO !!! Breathing Moon: OOOHH FUCK, sorry Buddy wrong Universe !!! 😅🥶☠️

Simply organ lol this guy is funny you mean the most complex organ known to man

The choice to use the term "dementia" when describing the effects of the marker baffles me. I don't think the writers looked up the definition. Dementia is defined as: 1. Deterioration of intellectual faculties, such as memory, concentration, and judgment, resulting from an organic disease or a disorder of the brain. It is sometimes accompanied by emotional disturbance and personality changes. 2. An extremely low condition of the mental function; profound general mental incapacity. 3. Insanity; madness; esp. that form which consists in weakness or total loss of thought and reason; mental imbecility; idiocy. I have schizophrenia and I am very familiar with the type of behaviors displayed by the exposed. Delusions. Hallucinations. Disorganized thinking (speech). Extremely disorganized or abnormal motor behavior. Negative symptoms(For example, the person may neglect personal hygiene or appear to lack emotion). These are the symptoms of schizophrenia. Unless the words mean something other than what i understand them to mean, dementia results in a feeble individual. Whereas schizophrenia results in a low reasoning but highly motivated insane person. There are levels to delusions but they are created internally so your brain makes up whatever nonsense fact pattern beforehand it seems like. A personal example is, once i locked myself outside and instantly concluded I'm being robbed. I saw and heard no-one. My brain said, "well, you don't lock yourself outside ever. Why would you? Has to be a setup. Whoever it is, they want something and they are in the house!". If I had dementia, i most likely would have forgot about needing a key or how to turn the knob or where i am or some such. Just bothers me that with the very low public understanding of mental illness, the waters get muddied through the use of incorrect nomenclature for ascribed actions. Don't get me wrong, any visibility is helpful but could be more so.

Decades? You mean fucking centuries lol

Could the Necromorphs defeat the Flood?

suu in simple sicene terms. tis ish dead spaces vers. of the ferrmei paradox i see 🙄

These markers sound alot like Twitter or Facebook....

Bring some writers and directors from The Expanse and the new Last of Us and make a Dead Space show already.

We want lore on atomic hearts
