- "I see the way you look at me! But you know what? I'm tired of low carbs. I'm tired of celery! I'M HUNGRY!"
- —Darlene, when first approaching Nick
Darlene Fleischermacher is a psychopath in Dead Rising 3. She is one of seven psychopaths who embody the Seven Deadly Sins.[2] Darlene's sin is Gluttony.
Due to her clinical obesity, Darlene is confined to a mobility scooter, but her large body mass and her obsessive mania with food make Darlene a potentially lethal threat. A former competitive eater, Darlene has profound feelings of entitlement and martyrdom. She is provoked by the fact that she cannot eat it all. If she becomes aggressive, reminders that she is hungry may distract her into eating.[3]
All You Can Eat
Nick discovers a survivor trying to get into the kitchen of Uncle Billy's Buffet. The survivor tells him to be quiet; Nick suspects zombies are in the buffet, but the survivor tells him there's something worse. As Nick walks over to him, he slips on a puddle of vomit. Darlene hears him and appears around the corner of the buffet kitchen, noisily eating a drumstick. She shouts at the two men to get away from "her" food. When Nick tries to reason with Darlene and tells her to stop eating for there's plenty of food for everyone, she refuses to stop, claiming that she doesn't care about the look of disgust Nick gave her; that she's tired of exercising and dieting (or as she puts it, "low carbs and celery"), and that she's hungry.
The survivor taunts Darlene, saying that she wouldn't be able to eat all the food, but Darlene tries to prove him wrong by stuffing her face. She vomits, and Nick backs away from her; the survivor sees this as an opportunity to try to gather food. However, she spots him doing so and attacks him by throwing three plates at him. As she yells at him to get away from "her" food, she stabs him with a large spork. After he falls dead, she berates him, saying that he and all "skinny dudes" are the same; thinking they can take whatever they want. "World on a platter!" Nick tries to argue by saying that he just wanted food and that she had plenty already, but Darlene starts attacking him as she suspects he called her "fat".
After Darlene is defeated, she begins to complain about a stomach ache and indigestion. She attempts to "purge" herself by charging at Nick with her scooter once again, but the scooter slips on a puddle of her vomit and she ends up falling onto her back. The weight of her own body mass and the scooter renders her unable to get up; she starts throwing up again and dies by choking on her own vomit.
The Gluttonous achievement will unlock after she is killed.
Battle Style
- Despite being morbidly obese, Darlene is surprisingly fast, but only because of her three-wheeled mobility scooter. She is capable of doing a quick charge against Nick, for if it is successful, she will repeatedly stab Nick/Dick with a big spork, taking away about a single bar of health.
- She can also do a simple charge attack where she simply slams anyone with her scooter at high speed if avoided she will still charge until she hits an object or a wall
- She can use her spork/knife/meat cleaver to slash anyone, doing low damage.
- She can spin around in her scooter, hitting anyone in a small area.
- She can vomit on the floor, which results in anyone except for herself to slip and hit the floor if they run over the vomit. She does this with her spin attack if she's been shot a few times while doing so.
- Similar to Antoine Thomas in Dead Rising 2, she can drive to an area inside the diner and start eating food. This will regenerate her health, but also serves as her weakness: while eating, she is left vulnerable to attacks and especially to being grabbed. Nick/Dick can also eat this food, but will get sick if they eat for too long or fail to pass the quicktime event that prevents them from vomiting.
- Also similar to Antoine, she also throws plates and knives from her scooter basket. While the plates don't do too much damage or simply bounce off Nick, the knives are more dangerous.
- Her attacks do anywhere from 12-50 damage a hit. [4] This makes her one of the weakest psychopaths in terms of damage output.
- Her scooter can only allow her to move in one direction so she has to stop in order to turn which can allow you to heal yourself or attack her in a brief moment when she is forced to turn.
- You can taunt her by saying "I'm hungry" when connected to the Kinect.
Trivia
- She is also similar in behavior to Ronald Shiner, a survivor in Dead Rising, as not only do they both love to eat, they also share quite an obsession with food. Ronald started a mutiny because of food, while Darlene killed the diner survivor because of him trying to get some of "her" food.
- While Darlene is meant to represent the sin of "Gluttony", she also embodies "Greed" (despite it being Albert Contiello's trait), as she hogs all the food in the buffet for her own consumption and doesn't share it with any other survivors. She also embodies Wrath as she was quickly angered when she thinks that Nick called her fat.
- Darlene is the third obese psychopath in the Dead Rising series; the other two being Jo Slade and Randy Tugman. However, unlike the latter two, she did not walk on her own feet.
- Her boss battle theme was used in the Megaman X gameplay trailer.[5] The theme itself is called Gluttony Battle and was composed by Celldweller.
- She is similar to Larry and Antoine; they all restore their health by eating and they use food utensils to fight.
- 'Fleischermacher' roughly translated from German means 'meat maker'. This is somewhat ironic as judging from her personality, she would rather eat meat than make meat, but it could just refer to how she got obese, therefore making "meat". The more accurate translation would be 'butcher maker', perhaps referring to the fact that Nick kills her, so survivors can eat. This would make Nick the 'Fleischer'.
- There are two first-place ribbons pinned on Darlene's clothing, most likely from eating contests, which is confirmed by a newspaper article found in Dead Rising 4.
- Her name is possibly a reference to Darlene Cates, who is famous for playing Bonnie Grape, a similar morbidly obese character, in the film What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
- Her sin could also be a reference to Carlito's quote comparing zombies and Americans and how the Americans's gluttony caused the destruction of Santa Cabeza as zombies were created by accident after trying to create a way to mass-produce cattle to feed Americans.
- Her dress has a design of cupcakes, ice cream and other foods.
- Darlene may originally be from Willamette, as one of the collectable newspapers in Dead Rising 4 says that she moved from Willamette to Los Perdidos after winning an eating contest to find more opportunities. It's interesting to note that the clippings are from before the first Willamette Outbreak (in 2006). Dead Rising 3 takes place in the year 2021, so it's odd to think that Darlene was found at Uncle Billy's (possibly only just redeeming her gift card) over a decade later.
- It is heavily implied that the food out in the buffet itself is rotten, and Nick/Dick and Darlene will vomit when eating it. If so, Darlene doesn't know or doesn't care (another sign of her gluttony).
