Bioshock's 10 Best Moments
10. 'Not What She Wanted' Audio Diary - Bioshock
By the time you reach Dr. Steinman in the Medical Pavilion it is clear that something has gone horribly wrong in Rapture. Splicers are running rampant and the whole place is practically deserted. Yet, from the outset, it seems like Ryans's vision for an underwater utopia could have worked, or you can at least understand his motivations for a world free from the laws of government.
But when we meet Dr. Steinman it is painfully clear how dangerous it can be to allow people's imaginations to run wild without being tied to a moral or ethical code. The most terrifying example of this is the audio diary titled "Not what she wanted".
It starts with Steinman finishing off a routine surgery, with assistance from a nurse. As the tape plays, Steinman decides that he can make even more 'improvements' and proceeds to completely butcher the poor woman.
It is possibly the most spine chilling diary in the whole game, as Steinman curiously begins to cut away at the woman while his nurse starts to scream hysterically in the background, and we are left in no doubt that Rapture is far from being a utopia.
