Honestly, I was really sad the "ghosts" were only in the first game, or at least not as prominent. I still remember randomly going into a bathroom, then playing around with the sinks, because hey, it was kinda cool that you could turn them on and off again. Then as I turn to leave I see a ghost turn the corner and walking out or when you get to a locked door and you can hear a guy basically killing his GF behind it, then the door finally gets unlocked so you rush in and all you got is a female corpse but there is no other exit. Those moments beat ANY actual horror games I've played since then.

[@emlynselene1096]

@Oliver Schlüter You right

[@dylanhaugen3739]

Oliver yet pure capitalism means unsafe work conditions, low wages, and no workers rights because the government plays no role in regulating the system As they choose, this only changed when the government made laws protecting workers, broke up monopolies that controlled entire industries, and labor unions became common. The idea that capitalism is somehow a perfect system that doesn't need improving is dangerous. Look at the third world, large corporations pollute the environment at will to increase profits and the government's do nothing to protect the health, safety or even lives of its citizens. That's why a system like in Europe, or Canada is best, balancing a capitalist system with social programs to help those the system would otherwise abuse, and protecting workers so everyone has the opportunity to succeed, because in a capitalist system most people need to end up at the bottom of the totem pole, someone has to do the hard dirty work in a society, and they should always at least be able to live a decent life.

[@dylanhaugen3739]

Oliver, there's always places for a system to be improved, but saying that someone somewhere abusing a system means it needs to be completely changed even if millions who legitimately need and benefit from it is ridiculous. And as far as pollution goes just something like poor air quality contributes to thousand s of deaths ever year especially those who already have breathing problems. Then there's industrial waste polluting ground water industrial chemicals giving nearby populations higher rates of cancer, and the combined effects of climate change on weather patterns that can cost trillions in damages to the economy and countless lives. The idea that things either have to be a free for all with no rules and everyone is just a dollar sign, or where everything is so regulated that nothing can ever get down is the problem, whenever someone suggests single payer healthcare the other side screams communism even if in the long term it would save the country money and tens of thousands of lives every year, medical bankruptcies would be a thing of the past and healthcare companies couldn't price gauge us to hell and back.

"Work and determination" AND exploitation. And the Russian tsars didn't earn their place in rulership. They were put there the same way as any king. Through corruption, deceit and the church. Fun fact: The Little Sisters are commentary on how Ayn Rand, creator of Objectivism, the ideology Andrew Ryan spouts, hated children and didn't deem them as equal to adults. Hence their usage as test subjects to be exploited. Also the reason why Bless the Child plays in the background when fighting Big Daddies: To showcase the utter inhumanity of Objectivism.

In bioshock 1 you are only attacked on sight due to you being labeled as a parasite, you do see a splicer kill the mechanic you meet but she was a spider splicer which is considered feral even amongst other splicers. In the second game you are said to be the enemy of the rapture family and and downfall of rapture itself which is enough, but you're also a big daddy and splicers probably think you will have a little sister with you.

I was searching for armor upgrades in one of the many ocean cave dungeons in that game (hated all of them, I remember my knees shaking during most of them but this event was especially scary) and I think the ground falls out from under you or maybe I just stepped backwards off a ledge and I didn’t notice- I don’t exactly remember but I went from standing on a platform to suddenly being under pitch black water and next thing I remember was being slumped over in my chair and my playstation controller was on the ground in front of me.

One detail you left out: Jack had the advantage of at least having someone to help guide him through Rapture. Okay, that guy turned out to be a lying bastard whose real plan was to manipulate him into orchestrating a major political coup but still, he had someone to talk him through basic survival and what he needed to do. If you were to blindly stumble into Rapture by total chance, without a convenient voice on the other end of a radio to give you tips on surviving, I imagine you'd be killed A LOT sooner. Bioshock 2 was a whole other mess, and involved some very different circumstances compared to the Rapture Civil War. It would still be a very difficult struggle for survival but for very different reasons. Since you were focused mainly on the Rapture Civil War here, it makes sense that you didn't include those details. Bioshock 2 takes place ten years after the events of Bioshock 1, after the deaths of both Andrew Ryan and Frank Fontaine, leaving a power vacuum that has been filled by psycho therapist Sofia Lamb who has basically started a cult. Subject Delta has the advantage in that game of being a Big Daddy, which gives them access to weapons and being significantly tougher than the average human, as well as guidance from but even that proves extremely difficult. Of course, in that game we also learn how unpleasant the process of being turned into a Big Daddy was. The main character turns out to have just been a passionate diver who accidentally stumbled onto rapture during an expedition and got welcomed in only to be thrown into prison without any real evidence for his supposed crimes. So that's another layer of issue to living in Rapture even before the Civil War- if Ryan felt any distrust towards you he could have you thrown into prison without any trial or chance to defend yourself. Then once you're in prison you have no rights and are either turned into slave labor or subjected to invasive medical experiments, which included the people who were transformed into Big Daddies. The early versions involved genetic splicing and having your vocal chords forcibly altered so you can't really speak. I can't imagine how excruciating the grafting process of later models must have been. But even as a human you have extremely limited options. If you're super lucky you might be able to get in touch with Tenembaum and be able to help with the underground, but otherwise your options for Bioshock 2 are pretty much to either join Lamb's "family" or to resist and be hunted down by everyone else in Rapture. Additionally getting Adam would be even HARDER in Bioshock 2 due to the introduction of further security measures, namely the Big Sisters. You can still harvest or rescue the Little Sisters to gain ADAM, but in the first game you could move on once you'd rescued/harvested the little sister and use the Adam to improve your abilities. Now, not only is there the problem of dealing with Big Daddies, but taking TOO MANY Little Sisters will also get you into trouble with the Big Sisters, giving you even more enemies to be dealing with.

[@albertzinger7132]

@Zack Ceasar To be fair, i always found that part of Bioshock 2 ridiculous.

[@grimsladeleviathan3958]

It's kinda wholesome though to think that the lil sisters are just hanging out with the Big Daddies. Okay now that I said it, it sounds really really wrong, but what I meant was like imagine them just like hanging out, she sits on his big shoulders as he gives her a ride, them like playing merry-go-around or something. It's like oddly cute

A highly accurate and well-constructed summary of the lore of Bioshock. Thank you for this video!

If I remember correctly from one of the books, Fontaine had a version of plasmids secretly developed that didn't include the harmful side effects and chemical dependency of the commercial version he sold to the public.

I think he missed the part that Fontaine, the guy enslaving children, getting people addicted to adam, murdering plenty of people personally, and doing the whole civil war thing was the bad guy. Not the broken bitter man that has his own son put a putter through his skull while his dream is turning to rubble. The part where he spells out that he is the bad guy, and does his evil laugh is supposed to clue you in.

[@Tyrik73]

Which is why i believe Andrew Ryan's biggest goal wasmt worrying about his death or Rapture but freeing his son of Fontaine's control.

[@RKNGL]

So wait a minute... Fontaine has the ability to rapidly age people but yet doesn't use that to fully control Adam production? He could have vat grown thousands of little girls and advanced age them to the ideal age required for Adam production. Fully controlling that production makes Ryan irrelevant. Even his most loyal supporters would be forced to submit to stay sane.

[@Gantradies]

*shrugs* past everything else, he was a Petty, small minded thug- he never managed to shuck the mindset of a small-time mobster scrabbling for tablescraps hoping he didn’t piss off one of the Dons...

[@xChaosFlower]

He didn't. Tenebaum and Suchong did. They experimented on the fetus (Jack) and aged him rapidly and Suchong used him as an experiment for mental conditioning for his big daddy research. Once it was successful, Fontaine had a spy tell him what happened to Jack and saw it as an opportunity to get back a Ryan

[@Chillerll]

its also not quite clear if splicer can still reproduce, I would say no. Where would you get the female embryos from? In Bioshock 2 they have to kidnap girls all over the Atlantic to create new little sisters. Jack was Ryan's son, I assume Ryan didn't splice and his mother didn't either? At least Ryan doesn't turn into a splicer and I can't remember him ever mentioning that he used plasmids.

[@xChaosFlower]

@@Chillerll Ryan's mother wasn't a splicer

[@Chillerll]

@@xChaosFlower with "his mother", I was referring to Jacks mother. Sorry if that wasn't clear. My point is Jack only exists because his parents aren't splicers, because splicers can not reproduce.

Used to be a locksmith who did electronic security. Own a sledgehammer. 6'5". Taking meds and rarely outside due to a pain condition and an unwillingnes by doctors to prescribe painkillers for pain anymore (only recovery.) I drink and take advil, the only two legal pain killers that exist at the moment in the US. It gets me by. If you take away the pain I'm already an unstoppable juggernaut who can get into anything, and I don't trust people not to take my meds away so I tend to carefully ration them at somewhere under the recommended dose. I would at least be a mini-boss. Long term everyone who takes Adam would die, barring one or two who make friends with the little sisters and escape.
