Added DiffLines:

*The final battle of the game has Delta against an entire army of splicers, holding them off to buy time while Eleanor preps their escape. This might sound overwhelming, but with the right set up and your whole game's experience and resources to bring to bear, you can make Subject Delta a ''force of nature'', throwing the elementary fury of plasmids and deploying traps and turrets and bashing Splicers into the land of wind and ghosts with a drill. Delta never fights as beautifully as he does when he fights for the last time.

Added DiffLines:

* While smashing his face in with a drill is [[CatharsisFactor plenty]] satisfying enough, sparing Stanley Poole can also count as well. Now that Lamb’s popped open the booth he was hiding in and exposed his defenceless, cowardly hide to the hordes of Splicers picking the bones of Dionysus Park, combined with the fact that his only real survival skill is running and hiding, it’s pretty clear that Subject Delta choosing to be the better man [[CruelMercy is only a stay of execution at best for poor Stanley]]. Even better because one can also choose to interpret it as Delta considering the backstabbing, snivelling worm before him NotWorthKilling.

Added a way that Porter's Wager worked

Added DiffLines:

** The fact that there is no presence of the Rapture family to be found, means that it worked!

* The evil ending. [[spoiler:Ruling the goddamn world together as father and daughter? Shit yeah! Daughter, I am not disappointed. (Not to be confused with the pure evil ending where Eleanor takes Delta's ADAM against his will)]].
* "Meltzer's Choice", in its own sad way. [[spoiler:Mark Meltzer has been captured by Lamb, and she starts giving her usual "ask yourself" spiel to convince him to either be turned into a Big Daddy or be executed. His response?]]
-->'''Meltzer:''' [[spoiler:*dark laugh* ...I wasn't the first to find Rapture, you crazy bitch. And I won't be the last. You do ... whatever you want to me... as long as I'm with Cindy... I'm ... I'm a happy man.]]

* The "semi-good" ending. [[spoiler:Like in the pure-good ending, Eleanor spares Sofia. ''Unlike'' the pure-good ending, however, Eleanor makes it clear that she's not saving her out of the kindness of her heart, but so Sofia can [[CruelMercy live to see the empire and ideology she built from the deaths of countless innocents irrevocably destroyed and her own daughter rejecting her and her philosophy]]. [[GoodIsNotSoft Just like Daddy would've wanted]].]]
* [[spoiler:Eleanor Lamb gets one when you learn the full scope of the intricate plan she set up behind her [[EvilMatriarch mother's]] back to resurrect the years-dead Subject Delta (you) and lead him/you to her. And of course, she gets a minor one every time you use the above-mentioned Summon Eleanor Plasmid to call her to the field and watch her wreak utter havoc against your now-very-outmatched enemies. Lastly, in [[MultipleEndings some of the endings]], watching her, in the final cutscene, slay her mother.]]
* Do you believe in LaserGuidedKarma? Did you save all the little sisters yet put down Grace, slew Stanley in cold blood, and mercy-killed Gil? [[spoiler:Enjoy the utopia you've made with a true family of little sisters, with Sofia Lamb dead at Eleanor's feet]].

* Some cut Audio Logs showed an entirely different ending for Sinclair: [[spoiler: He is heading to the lifeboat on the Atlantic Express with some samples of Rapture's genius to sell off topside, when Sofia reveals that her people had snuck a bomb onboard. Defiant, Sinclair releases the train car from the track and falls into the abyss below Persephone, ensuring the bomb will detonate harmlessly...for Delta, anyway.]]

Now I'm anything but a saint...but Lamb has me cold. An' well, I've been watchin' all you...an' young Eleanor have endured. An' perhaps it's havin' to see it all through your eyes an'...if I'm honest, more'n a little o' that hurt was on my account. Anyway. I reckon it's high time we settle up. Please consider this my fare-thee-well.]]

-->[[spoiler: I have this powerful fear o' fallin, Doctor, an' I hope you can help me shake it. One thing, though. There's this lever in here labeled "emergency cable release"? An' I hear the pit beneath me's near bottomless. Bomb wouldn't do much harm down there. So, ah...you might have to talk fast.]]
