StaceyPowers Posted August 3, 2021 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?

m76 Posted August 4, 2021 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.

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.

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. Withywarlock 1

That's definitely put you in a situation of dilemma because the two options available to you aren't bed of roses.

Tenenbaum was looking after them. And did you try a playthrough where you save them all to get the "good" ending?

It's something that I really enjoy playing most of the times because I'm always happy with it.
