We all love Bioshock's amazing story, yes? But at times I find myself scratching my head thinking "That was stupid." or "I wouldn't have done that."
If you were in Rapture, what would have you done instead in one of these situations?
In the beginning, when Jack picks up that first plasmid, I wouldn't have just gone and stuck that sucker into my arm. That could have ANYTHING in it. What was Jack thinking? "Hey Atlas, look! Shared needles on the ground! Yippee!"
Yeah that's the best one I can think of too,2k should've put like a pressure move on jack on that scene,like a big daddy is coming after jack and Atlas tells him he has to inject the plasmid if he wants to have a chance to live or something like that instead of just going there and inject yourself with a strange liquid,it would've been awesome if it was a pressure move instead.Wan't to have a chance to stand up to the chanlenge and live?you must put that Shiz on you otherwise you're dead meatOriginally Posted by Bioshocking123
Jack was brainwashed so who's to say he wasn't programmed to automatically get spliced? It could've been a prior in-built memory from his "training" and part of him remembered how good it felt to splice up.
Another thing to consider is Jack's mental age. He seems something bright and colourful...and next you know you have electricity coming out of your arm lol.
Also a little far-fetched I know but this is from the 1800's:
People didn't know all too much about the risks of HIV/AIDs in the 1950/60s, so there wouldn't have been such a perceived risk.Our attention has been drawn to an article in one of the popular weekly journals entitled, “Morphine Tea Parties given by Women.” The fashion, which is said to have originated in Paris, consists of the formation of what may be termed a morphine club. A number of ladies meet about 4 O'clock every afternoon, tea is served, servants are sent out of the room, the door is locked, the guests bare their arms, and the hostess produces a small hypodermic syringe with which she administers an injection to each person in turn. If one injection is not sufficient to satisfy any particular guest, a second or even a third is given.
Still I know what you mean, but there are quite a few options left as to why he just suddenly jabbed it in his arm lol.
Indeed I'd tought about the 1st spoiler theory and it's plausible.
haha that morphine tea party was epic,picturing those old fashioned dresses and snobby females handling they're tea with an extended pinky while getting high with tea party's as an excuse is something eary and funny at the same time,reminded me of when they were 1st testing Lsd administrating almost horse doses and watching reactions as volunteers saw huge fly's and stuff.That was one epic documentary I saw sometime ago on history channel or something
jack was shocked by seeing geneticly modifded mutants doing things humans
cant really do (like the spider splicer leaping) so he without hesitation
he injected himself with the plasmid, so he could use plasmids to survive.
what would i do? start splicing!(thats just my guess)

I reckon I'd have probably gone into the Lighthouse... Thought "WTF" when I saw the huge banner. Explored very carefully. And then would have done everything in my power to get out and sit on the stairs. Hope to God for some sort of rescue... If I was getting to the point of death with no sign of rescue I would have probably risked the Bathysphere but only then... After that I would have probably died of a Heart-attack while that freak of a splicer killed Johnny and attacked the Sphere.
If I managed to survive the heart attack I would have followed Atlas' instructions; picked up the wrench before lodging it into my own skull.
you need to be on some serious drugs to just casually walk up to a strange vending machine and inject a non sterile syringe 6-8 inches long into your arm. -_-
Jack was programmed to come back to that lighthouse and do what he did. I'm sure if he wasn't being controlled, he would've known better than to do that.

yea about the first plasmid, Atlas didn't even ask Jack to take the plasmid "Hey, look at that micellanious liquid in the syringe. Might as well inject it into my arm just for the hell of it."
My thoughts exactly.
well, in the 50s' and 60s' the AIDS problem wasn't prevalent at all.
Prevalent; no, but certainly it was about.

My point was simply that it may not have been seen as such a taboo to go around jabbing needles in your arm (okay it sounded better in my head lol). I'd more likely stick with the theory that Jack was brainwashed into doing it though
Start to finish? Here I go...
1. I wouldn't have just jumped into that Bathysphere without thinking! NO WAY WOULD I HAVE EVEN GONE DOWN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!
2. THat first plasmid, just jabbing it into your arm like that- just NO. As stated before, there should have been more pressure to do so- more of a "you're going to die if you can't defend yourself" or even some sort of instruction from atlas before hand to even jab that sucker into you. And some encouragement would have been more realistic- for me, even with death only a door away no WAY would i have that freakin javlin punched through the most sensitive part of my arm.
3. First chance i would have packed and run- those bathyspheres that you take from one area to another all could make it up to the surface right?
4. I would have just, in general, run around screaming like a maniac in a panic ridden state out of my mind with fear.
5. I would have NOT put that Big Daddy suit on. NO WAY. ESPECIALLY NOT THE VOICE PROTOTYPE!!!!!
(Highlight five cause i'm not sure how much of a spoiler it is)
what else would you have done? Stay on the surface and Starve/Dehydrate to death?
I would go exploring Rapture, go to the bars, the football stadium, stuff like that.
I'd explore every corner of Fort Frolic and Medical Pavilion. Lol. Those two are my favourite levels.
~Mari.
I would look for other occupants. However, conversation is not an option. The first person you find is a distorted fiend intent on your murder. It's a pity there is no-one even half sane to talk to, face to face. Just disembodied voices on a radio link.
But the environment is beautiful and fascinating, and just invites exploration. I wish I could be able to see it in it's heyday, maybe 1948?
You are freakin hilarious.
Oh man, if ONLY I could find full syringes just laying about! Daddy needs his medicine, after all.
1. of all yeah I would have gone into the lighthouse cause your in the middle of the sea even if a plane flies over it is unlickely to see you (it would just crash)
2. you have just walked into the lighthouse and the doors close and lock behind you so what choice have you got?
3. after seeing that psycho rip johny's stomach open then that lunatic who launches a flamming sofa at you and attempt to bash your head in then yes I would have gotten spliced to the max (remember the only way your gettingout of there is by finding another bathysphere that can take you to the surface cause the lighhouse doors are locked
4. when you come to ol peachy's freezer I would not have dropped my weapons intp that pneumatic tube or whatever I would have taken my grenade launcher and let loose at the door screaming my head off!
5. having to get the BD suit and stuff I am fine with, having a metal voice box modifier drilled into my throat just like that while I am standing there... NO F****** way! (sorry for the language)
just my thoughts
I might go in to fashion some sort of boat with sll the materials around, then head right back out and chance it. Take the radio, food, whatever I can grab.
Just remember it would take some considerable skill to open the lighthouse doors without any help because they were locked. and wood is at a minimum unless you go further into rapture in which case you would have already met some splicers, also by getting the radio you would have subject yourself to Atlas/Fontaine broadcasts
(unless out of range) in which case he would have just said "Would you kindly get yourself down here"
I dont think anyone realises this but the Lighthouse doors were most probly closed and locked by atlas himself so you could not get out.
Nevermind..
Maybe you could use plane parts, I would have at least check out the wreckage after it cools down.
umm he is Fontaine remember and fontaine is real enogh... or it could have been Andrew Ryan. he could have seen a perimeter breach and sought to close the doors before any more could get in. but the main point is that the doors were locked and doors of that size you dont just kick down so you would have had to go on. therefor no choice so you all cant say you would just go out of the lighthouse and wait
I'd probably have HIV from all the EVE hypos I took
i would go down into rapture but i would try not to splice too much i dont want to end up like drs or peach

I wouldn't have entered the bathysphere for a start, lol! Did the doors lock after jack had walked through into the lighthouse? I'd have done my level best to push them back open if I were in his shoes and wait for help to arrive
