StaceyPowers Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I’ve never understood why so many people say BioShock posed a “moral dilemma.” Whether you do the right thing or the wrong thing, you get plenty of ADAM. Do you feel the game posed a real dilemma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m76 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 If you are referring to the Little Sisters then there is no right thing to do. I think that's why they say it is a moral dilemma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see an argument that this comes with an unethical cost (one must murder quite a few innocent Big Daddies), but I'm not sure how saving Little Sisters (restoring their freedom and health) could be evil in itself. I am curious about your thoughts on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was argued that without the big daddies they'd just die anyway, so by "saving them" you are actually condemning them to a much slower crueller death.

That's definitely put you in a situation of dilemma because the two options available to you aren't bed of roses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenenbaum was looking after them. And did you try a playthrough where you save them all to get the "good" ending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something that I really enjoy playing most of the times because I'm always happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
