“I'm James. You don't know me but I sure remember you. Me and Sinamoi had a… slight difference of opinion. He wanted to stay put and wait for help, I wanted to get the hell out of there, so I got the hell out.[1]”
— James, speaking about his conflict with Sinamoi.
James Stein is a survivor featured in Dead Island.
Background[]
He is the leader of the survivors barricaded inside the Lighthouse. He was one of the two people that saved the Hero in the beginning of the game.[2] Before the Hero wakes up, James and some of the other survivors leave Sinamoi to find a safer place to stay at,[3] which turns out to be the Lighthouse. He's next met when the Heroes travel to the Lighthouse to find a signal amplifier for Dominic in the side quest On the Air.[4]
After meeting the Heroes again, he gives the side quest Knockin' on Heaven's Door to help out the other survivors at the Lighthouse.[5] After this, James also offers the side quest Counsel of Despair, in which he asks the Hero to complete the unfinished "HELP" sign north of the Lighthouse.[6] He remains at the Lighthouse with the survivors for the rest of the game, waiting for help to come.
Appearance[]
James is a late middle aged man with brown hair, a full beard, and a moustache. Unlike most male survivors in the Resort, James is fully dressed with dark orange shirt with a floral design, a white undershirt, white cargo shorts, white socks, and white and grey sneakers.[7]
Trivia[]
- Oddly, Roger Nelson claims that James is his brother,[8] despite the fact that they have different surnames and accents. It is likely that Roger was using the term "brother" as a way of saying that James is a good friend, rather than claiming that the two are actually siblings.
