20 Video Games With Cut Content That Change EVERYTHING

20. Insects - BioShock

One of that many aspects that defined BioShock is its focus on relationships and inner conflicts. You get so invested in these characters, you genuinely care when you're betrayed, learn the truth about the protagonist, or have to execute an innocent person.

Ironically, BioShock almost went into the opposite direction, since it was going to focus more on monstrous characters rather than human ones. Although Splicers and Big Daddies would've been a part of this model, arthropods called Aggressors would've also been a prominent enemy. The protagonist would encounter giant insects called Queens, which could generate other nasty creatures.

Now, one critter-themed element that made the cut was the sea slugs, since they're the source of ADAM, which fuels your power. At key points, you need to decide how much ADAM to extract from the Little Sisters, giving you a choice whether to save or kill them.

But originally, the Little Sisters were the sea slugs. However, the developers worried players wouldn't connect with slimy molluscs, compelling them to tweak them into something more presentable. They toyed around with making the Little Sisters resemble monkeys, chipmunks, frogs, and even crippled dogs, before finalising on a more human design.
