Game says that turning into a Big Daddy is intrusive and irreversible

>All endings show you as a normal human after you leave Rapture

Man, every time I replay Bioshock, I realize the writing is garbage in new and interesting ways.

Ken Levine was always a hack fraud. Fuck him and what he did to two of my favorite franchises.

What was the other?

What are some other ways the writing is bad?

It's mostly related to the timeline simply not making sense at all when you give it a second of thought.

You find the PC's mother's corpse in a strip club. The audio log makes it clear that Ryan found out about her selling her child (the player character) pretty much immediately after it happened, which means her rotting corpse was left there for months.
Big Daddies in general also don't make sense. The audio log you find says that Suchong was killed immediately when he gets the little sister imprinting working. So who rolled out the program to all the other Big Daddies and why did they leave Suchong's corpse in the lab while they did it?
How did Fontaine send the PC out of Rapture? If he did it before the lock down, how did he activate you?
Most importantly, how fucking long was the civil war going on for? There's no sense of time/scale at all. The logs make it feel like it was just starting, but there was still enough time to develop the whole big daddy/little sister project.

It was Starsiege Tribes and SWAT

I just figured they got the diving suit off and Jack just remained a large mute.

I thought they said you weren't actually becoming a Big Daddy, which required tons of surgery and whatnot. You were just putting on the suit.

I recall they fucked around with your body a lot too. At the very least have a device drill into your throat so you sound like one.

Bio 1 MC wasn't a big daddy, though???
He just dressed up like one for a mission and sprayed daddy musk on himself so he smelt like one.

And surgically removed his vocal chords.

I thought it was just implied he literally threw the suit on, it wasn't powerd or anything. He may be screwed on the voicebox though

You seem to not know shit about writting

>which means her rotting corpse was left there for months
doesn't this imply he killed her at once? which wouldn't make sense because if he did it would require him to have left the body there for months?

Please tell me where I'm wrong, then.

Tenenbaum explicitly says "you must become a big daddy."

You get your voice altered but that's about it, none of the other changes were permanent.

Wrong game, fagget

What crack are you smoking? You never become a Big Daddy in the first game. You pretend to be one by fucking up your vocal chords and wearing a suit, and that's it.

he just took off the suit retard
being a big daddy doesnt mean you are being deformed or some shit. He just gets his throat fucked and he smells. He still is human.

Normal Big Daddies are fucked up and modified, and are permanently merged into the suit.

He wasn't a normal big daddy

Yeah, that's the point. Glad we agree.

Been years since I played it but I'm pretty sure Delta was a prototype and the only real surgery he went under was having his vocal cords ripped out.

I really hate how everyone except ryan is a splicer. Or at least use a splicer model. Was it really that hard to have different models for named characters? fucking lazy.

Unironically yes. The whole 'model things in high def and bake it to normals' thing was still new then, so they had to trim the model count down because each takes time to polish.

Bioshock had a lot of that 'over-refinement' problem in other things. Like they had many different types of Big Daddies to fight before it was cut to just the two.

Jack seems to have died fairly young. Is it because he was engineered or was it all the weird ADAM shit?

You don't get fully turned into a big daddy, you just get big daddy'd enough to trick little sisters.

I don't know, maybe he has a fucked up face and a goose dick or something.

They say somewhere in the game that Adam fucks up your dna and you have to keep taking it to stop your body breaking apart. So I guess with the sisters freed and no more Adam being produced, he aged pretty rapidly.

Bioshock's good endings always had a lot of soul.

are you implying that the most common state of writing is to have loads of gaping plot holes, like serious "2 comes after 1" problems with sequence of events? I get it, it's just videogames, most people don't think about it in the moment. But it's still really stupid for shit like the Suchong example.

ayyyy

>fucking up your vocal chords
Why don't just stay very quiet and don't say a word. Naaaaaaaahhhhh. Fuck my vocal chords, daddy.

I'm dying RN
Fuck user, why did you do that?
