* Before entering the Beehive area of Arcadia, I came across a female Splicer with a shotgun right next to her. A few paces forward, I found an audio log about a woman getting peeved that a business competitor is stealing her honey. The woman states that if the competitor continues, she'll come after said competitor with a shotgun. -016coolguy

* ''[=BioShock=]'' gives us Dr. Steinman, a DeadlyDoctor who experiments on people and creates hideous freaks. That sounds like TheThemeParkVersion of someone. Dr. [[{{Frankenstein}} Stein]]man... - {{Tropers/Regiment}}

* TheReveal in Bioshock is a rather impressive one, but until you actually think about it, you don't really understand it's full meaning. '''A Man Chooses, A Slave Obeys.''' Throughout the game, you've been given no choices, save one morality choice made over and over again that, while it does impact the ending, has very little impact on the plot. But you have obeyed every single instruction given to you by Atlas/Fontaine since the game began... ''without ever questioning whether you should follow them or not.'' You have obeyed every instruction given to you by a fictional character without ever even questioning whether you should or not. You have essentially, since you started the game, made yourself the slave of a person ''who doesn't even exist.'' '''And you never even realized that it happened, until it was rubbed in your face.'''

* In ''Bioshock 2'', some of the good/evil choices seem odd, especially since at least two of the "good" choices could be argued as being more evil than the respective "evil" choice. The explanation for that is simple: it's not YOUR morality making it so. It's Subject Delta's. To a Big Daddy, morality is dictated by what falls in line with their assigned duties as Protectors. Disengaging once a person stops being a threat is "good" to a Big Daddy. Killing the person out of revenge for past sins or to spare them the consequences is not.

* Notice how every time you see an Alpha Series Big Daddy underwater, he's dead. In fact, if there are any Alphas still alive when you flood the docking bay in Persephone, they will die almost immediately. Well, look closer at their diving suits. Their suits have gaping rips in them, and tumors have broken through in various places. The porthole in the helmet is broken, such that it barely even lights up anymore. Age, violence, and ADAM mutations have rendered the Alpha Series' diving suits useless for deep-sea diving. So any time you see an Alpha Series Big Daddy out in the ocean water, [[http://youtu.be/LEY3fN4N3D8 this is what is happening inside that suit.]]

Their suits have gaping rips in them, and tumors have broken through in various places. The porthole in the helmet is broken, such that it barely even lights up anymore. Age, violence, and ADAM mutations have compromised the Alpha Series' diving suits, rendering them unable to pressurize.

The explanation for that is simple: you're playing a Big Daddy. The "good" options are more in line with typical Big Daddy behavior. They don't kill people over past sins or to save them from facing the consequences. If a person poses no immediate threat, the Big Daddy stands down and goes back to its original task. That's what you're doing as Subject Delta when you choose the "good" option; by the time you're given the choice, you've got the person in a position where they can pose no threat.

** Chinese names are actually 3 characters (words) long, but the "surname" or family name is usually placed first. So "Yi Su Chong" would be how you said his Chinese name. However, westerners usually only have two names, so it is pretty common for the names to transform into things like Yi Suchong (would have been common in the 40s) or Suchong Yi (typically happens today).
