Honestly. With a name like this how can you possibly be a bad Dad? I know I know, your emotions have been manipulated, you reek to high heaven, your vocal chords have been torn out and you’re pretty much fused inside that honking great diving suit, but you are the embodiment of a father figure to the Little Sisters of Rapture.

To them you’re kind, caring, and playful individuals who are going to keep those mean old splicers away from them as they sip on their weird blood and ADAM cocktails. A Big Daddy will die defending their bonded partner and will keep them safe from any threat - including you.

And if that’s not good enough for you then we have two other great dads in the Bioshock franchise, namely Jack Ryan and Sigma who, depending on your choices, can leave lasting, positive impacts on the Little Sisters you save and Eleanor, who all go on to live happy and what appear to be successful lives. So yeah, Massive Man Dad or Caring Protector Dad. The choice is yours!
