** [[PsychoPsychologist Sofia Lamb]]'s ultimate goal is to distill the minds of everyone in Rapture into a cocktail of [[SuperSerum ADAM]] that can then be spliced [[AbusiveParents into her daughter]], Eleanor, transforming her into the First Utopian. This being will [[MindHive have access to the knowledge of everyone in Rapture]], but [[IndividualityIsIllegal no individuality]], no personality except for the drive to serve the common good, and no capacity to change. Though the minds of Rapture will attain immortality through Eleanor, they'll essentially be reduced to "one more dusty book on the shelf" in her mind, [[AndIMustScream bodiless, powerless,]] and unable to change.
** Equally chilling is the fact that Sofia is hoping to spread the model of the First Utopian far and wide. Her vision of a perfect world features humanity being stripped of all capacity for ambition, [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill independent thought]], or even basic self-awareness, ensuring that no trace of the "[[AmbitionIsEvil Tyrant gene]]" exists to hold back the common good... but in the process, the basic concepts of imagination, invention, self-improvement, and even ''change'' would become extinct. As such, Eleanor declares her mother's plans to be every bit as toxic as [[ContrastingSequelAntagonist Andrew Ryan]]'s utopia of greed and self-interest.

** The Good Ending has [[spoiler:Eleanor escaping Rapture with the Little Sisters, looking towards a brighter future. Delta dies in the lifeboat explosion, but Eleanor does not grieve him too deeply, as by absorbing his ADAM he will live through her.]]
** The Neutral Ending, obtained by harvesting some Little Sisters and saving others. [[spoiler:You stop Eleanor from JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope by denying her the chance to absorb your Adam and your consciousness. In her closing monologue, she realizes that she has become a monster because of what she's done (killing and absorbing multiple Little Sisters for power), but with your example and sacrifice, she realizes that she might be able to be redeemed too someday. But for now, she is a sad girl without her father that she loved.]]

** Simplistic morality can be used to manipulate people and justify atrocities. Individuality and liberty should not be sacrificed for what someone else believes is the common good.
** Even with the best intention of unity and moral pureness, any form of leadership can turn into a fascistic dictatorship.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[spoiler:Porter's office was originally gonna be a combat arena before it was changed to a more quiet, sentimental element of storytelling for the player after the twist was revealed. The only in-game evidence of this change is the Vita-Chamber right outside his office.]]
