* Part of Sofia Lamb's Goals, in order to create "Utopians" is to create people that are not only genius level intelligent, but also skilled at a vast variety of tasks, depending on the situation. Combined with using Jack's mental conditioning, she wants them to be selfless. In other words.... she is making everyone a JackOfAllTrades.

** It's possible for the man-on-the-street to make their own plasmids if they know what they're doing (the Brute is the result of the dregs of several body-enhancing gene tonics being mixed together, for example), and Elanor collected ADAM from a whole bunch of people. It's likely she's picked up some things from that. A bit of Security Command level 3, Teleport, and her own ADAM to fill in the gaps, then a (relatively) clean Plasmid jar/srynge, shake well before serving. As for the video, she's likely seen plasmid commercials as a child and projected something similar in the same way she telepathically communicates with Delta. Or it's GameplayAndStorySegregation for the sake of showing you how it works.

Added brilliance on lack of straps in Eleanor's Big Sister outfit, and asking who else would want to control Rapture

Added DiffLines:

** Further fitting this, Eleanor's Big Sister outfit lacks such straps. A way of showing that, unlike the other Big Sisters, she has maintained her sanity, thanks to her mother. Lack of such restraints could also indicate her being free from her mother's grasp


Added DiffLines:

* Given that Sofia Lamb was able to obtain power, thanks to the power vacuum left from the deaths of Andrew Ryan and Frank Fontaine... who ELSE will want to obtain power in Rapture now that she's gone? Assuming that Rapture is going to last much longer structurally.

Added an idea how Delta could have been better at plasmids compared to the predecessor.

Added DiffLines:

* The gameplay for this game, particularly in terms of combat and plasmid use, has been greatly improved from it's predecessor. Out of universe, it's because the developers learned from the first time, and improved the gameplay. In-Universe, Subject Delta was mentioned to have helped test the original plasmids for Fontaine Futuristics, explaining how he is able to have more versatile upgrades for the various Plasmids. He had practice using them.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* In the first ''VideoGame/BioShock1'', the Little Sisters are pretty creepy-looking, and pretty ugly, falling under the UncannyValley. In the sequel, they look much cuter and adorable. It could be chalked up that the designers got better with models... or the fact that in ''VideoGame/BioShock2'', you're playing as a Big Daddy. Big Daddies see their Little Sisters as something they must protect. You're seeing them through the eyes of the Big Daddy.

Added DiffLines:

* How is there a Plasmid instructional video for the "Summon Eleanor Lamb" Plasmid? First of, not only were Big Sisters yet to be created, by the time that the Rapture Civil War went down, but that even after Sofia Lamb took power, the Big Sisters were created as a stopgap to maintain the life blood of her society. Secondly, even after Big Sisters were created, and made to be a standardized force, it would be incredibly unlikely that such a Plasmid would be created for someone to summon a Big Sister at will, much less, one that was as unique as Eleanor Lamb herself. Third, HOW, did Eleanor create/gain access to a plasmid like that in such a short time? Presumably, such a power would have, if it was made afterall, been INCREDIBLY restricted of a power, perhaps limited to those that were considered responsible enough to not mishandle the ability to summon a Big Sister.
