You play as Gabe from extraction and he has to try and save his wife Lexine. Because yeah, they're married for some reason, and you never found out what happened to McNeill. Sure, you could assume he turned into a necromorph (very quietly at that apparently if you remember the ending to extraction) but some definite clarification would have been appreciated. Anywhoo Gabe dies in his attempts to save Lexine but in the end she's still captured by ''someone'' and it still isn't explained just as to what makes her ''special''. It'd be pretty cool if the DS3 DLC does tie into this sub-story involving Lexine.
The DLC itself was... OK. Was literally like an hour long and yeah, recycled environments, though I guess they also reintroduced Twitchers for the DLC. It even recycles some of the set-pieces, like a section where you hafta defend yourself against a swarm of necromorphs while upside down. The ending's pretty good, though, as you desperately try to stave off the necromorphs after losing your legs in an explosion. Surprisingly poignant.
Um... is this actually spoiler'd? There's a red line to the left side there so I assume that signifies that as yes? OK, gonna chance this...
edit: actually it's possible that she escaped... I can't quite recall. It's not especially important anywhoo and I have a sneaking suspicion that this loose end will be left on the cutting room floor. Dead Space 3 has already shown how poor Dead Space's writers are when it comes building a narrative.
