10 Bullsh*t Video Game Deaths You Just Had To Live With

The Big Daddies are undoubtedly the most iconic characters in the BioShock franchise. These huge, intimidating specimens are as frightening as any foe encountered in this often dark and macabre FPS series, but they’re far from mere monsters.

Through hideous experimentation, the ‘undesirables’ of Rapture became more diving suit than human, their essence stripped away. They originally served as manual workers for the construction and maintenance of Rapture, but ultimately became guardians of the Little Sisters.

From the player’s first encounter with a Big Daddy in the original game, their savage nature is apparent, but we gradually piece together what they are… and, most tragically, what they were.

Both Big Daddies and Little Sisters need each other, and their remorse on becoming separated is awful to behold. When the player kills the first of these poor souls in a boss battle, a Little Sister runs to his body and howls in despair. The whole thing is just horrible.
