 * Questions?

Business articles
You've been doing a really great job expanding the articles about business locations in BioShock 2. I have just one minor suggestion that may help you: If you play BioShock 2 on the PC you can use console commands to take better screenshots. For example, you could use commands to hide the HUD and save screenshots directly without having to press print-screen and paste in a different program. ~Gardimuer   { ʈalk } 20:45, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

I'd still like to discuss the subject of the meeting with you, so please email me information about how I can contact you in private (such as a Steam ID, 2K Forum/Irrational Games forum profile name, etc.) ~Gardimuer   { ʈalk } 21:53, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Hello I have a request for you to add an Scripted Dialogue section at the end of Bioshock Quotes and Bioshock 2 Quotes in the Baby Jane page, just add all the Dialogue she says at a certain time evrey time, for example you might end up at an area and hear her say somthing she only says at that place that happens evrey playthrough that she dosen't say in battle or an a idle state if you don't know alll her scripted dialogue could you please ask someone who does and can do that, Thank You!! By the way, the Lady Smith model has this on her page if you whant an example. Hunter Biondolino 20:56, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

Scripted Dialogue
Yes I think that would work even better, and I know lots of the scripted dialogue in Bioshock 2, mostly just Baby Jane's as she is my favorite model but hopefully we can figure somthing out and get that page created. Hunter Biondolino 23:35, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

Screenshots
Those are some very nice screenshots of the Wharmaster's Office! Where did you get them? Did you take them yourself? ~Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 05:02, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you! I did them myself, I've finally got Bioshock on my mac, so I'm getting screenshots for pages without pictures. Unownshipper 19:37, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Recent Pictures
Our current policy is to mark low quality images with Template:LowQualityImage.

I usually only delete duplicate images or images that aren't used in articles. If an article already has enough images to illustrate its content, you can go ahead and remove the low quality ones. That way the bad images will show up at Special:Unusedimages and I will delete them. ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 15:46, May 19, 2012 (UTC)

Saying Thanks
XD, thanks for the warm welcome, and I'm happy to help wherever I can, whether in pictures or spelling errors, I guess when you get some wrong info about something you really enjoy, it really peeves you off, or at least it does that to me. Anyways, thanks for telling me and I hope you enjoy my ideas, and your welcome!

"Trivia" vs. "Behind the Scenes"
I've recently been going through all the articles on the wiki to replace "Trivia" with "Behind the Scenes". You can see my reasoning for this at Forum:Proposal: Replace "Trivia" sections with "Behind the Scenes" sections. While I carry out this change, I also try to remove any information from the new "Behind the Scenes" sections that doesn't belong. General information about the world within the game usually doesn't belong in the "Behind the Scenes" sections since it should be placed elsewhere in the article. The kind of information that does belong in the Behind the Scenes section includes: In my opinion, the note in the Behind the Scenes section on the Atrium page is an example of the third point above. It reveals something about the game mechanics, since it's a deliberate choice by the designers. The water only rising to knee level and then stopping wouldn't make sense if Rapture were a real place and water were constantly pouring into the breached tunnel.
 * Information about the creation of the game.
 * Information about 'Easter eggs'.
 * Information about game mechanics (since this gives a "behind the scenes" look at how the game works.)

Please let me know what you think of the switch from "Trivia" sections to "Behind the Scenes" sections. ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 15:30, June 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's good to know. :) ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 19:59, June 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * In some cases I have removed information that wasn't speculation but simply didn't belong in the "Behind the Scenes" section. Over the past few years new editors have used the trivia sections as a place to dump useful information that they don't know how to fit into the rest of the article. This is unfortunate, and I try to take it into account when I am cleaning up the trivia sections. For instance, in the Little Wonders Educational Facility article I moved the single trivia note into a "Little Sister Rooms" section, so the useful information was not lost.
 * However, my time is limited, so in many cases I have just removed trivia notes instead of spending hours trying to figure out how the information should fit into an article. I wish this weren't the case, but I'm only one person and I can't spare much time for individual cases when there are still over 200 articles that need "Trivia" to be replaced with "Behind the Scenes."
 * In the case of Kashmir Restaurant (BioShock 2 Multiplayer), I knew that the info should be kept, but I'm not familiar enough with multiplayer to know which locations in the level the notes were relevant to. That's why I moved the trivia notes to the talk page temporarily in hopes that someone else would know better than I how to fit it into the article.
 * I'll try to be better about this in the future, but I would definitely appreciate your help with this. If you notice that I removed good information from a trivia section, please try to add it back into the main part of the article somehow. ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 07:30, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

Diane McClintock mugshot inspiration
Where did you find the information about Tanya Williams' mugshot photo being the inspiration, and where did you get the mugshot image?

I know J.P. Lebreton mentioned mugshot inspirations in his recent developer playthrough, but how did you find this specific photo reference? ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 16:56, June 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree with you; it seems like a perfect fit. I mostly asked because I hoped that you had somehow found the exact book that Irrational used. I'll add J.P. Lebreton's playthough as a reference on the Behind the Scenes note. ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 18:53, July 1, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Atlas and Apostrophe "s"
If that is the spelling in the game, then that's how it should show in the articles. I'll revert my edits. Thanks for pointing that out. --Willbachbakal (talk) 21:17, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

Re. the Plasmid image that I recently added.
Hi,

Thank you for moving the Plasmid image to its correct position. I put the cursor at the side of the text. I can see now that the cursor should be above the text.

Thanks again. Aquawiki (talk) 16:31, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

Re. Business logos.
Thank you for your kind comments, also thanks for re-sizing the business logos, the logos look much better now that they are all in the same format. It is a shame that some of the levels do not have a logo. Aquawiki (talk) 13:47, October 12, 2012 (UTC)

Re. Business section advice.
Thank you for the help and advice about the images.

(I have had some trouble on the wiki for the last few days. I keep getting stuck on c. the third page that I open and have to keep logging out and then back in, to finish any edit that I am working on. It is a real pain.)

Again thanks for the advice. Aquawiki (talk) 19:21, October 22, 2012 (UTC)

Why did you take out what I added to the Baby Jane page? I know I kinda messed up on it, but you could of just fixed what I did and kept what I added. I added that "Dusky Donovan" was a character in Bioshock 2 that used her model, and she is. Why did you remove that? Hunter Biondolino (talk) 00:29, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

BioShock 2 Items
Thanks for putting some of my recent icon images on the BioShock 2 Items page. I was not sure about putting the icons on the page, when some of them were missing in the line-up rows. I suppose that now the format of the icons have been added to the page, it will be easier to add icons as and when they are found.

Thanks again Aquawiki (talk) 13:03, November 30, 2012 (UTC)

Hey sorry about my edits I'm kinda new to all this and I figured that I can't make any edits I want a couple hours ago. But if they don't have deaths and no true facts that talk about there fate why can't I add the death or what might happen.

Well sorry about all the commotion later.

Early development Information
Yeah I just put up some more pics of Fort Frolic and I've been finding lots of early development stuff that never made it to the original Bioshock game.There's info about an early concept of the story to early gameplay mechanics. I have trouble choosing which one is right to publish in this wiki. I might also need some helpers to publish this rich information, probably some one good at making articles and such, like you! Here's the link to the Irrational website that has all of the early developments if you want to help publishing all this stuff. It's called From the Vault. I'm not entirely sure if we are able to post stuff that never made it into the real game. PANDA COMPANY001 (talk) 00:30, December 16, 2012 (UTC)

Double picture
Yes, I can definitely try to pick the better looking one later.

But, don't you think the image from the strategy guide of Booker's character model should go under the "in-game" section instead of the "concept and promotional art" section? The picture is neither concept or promotional art, so I definitely don't think it belongs there; especially since it is of his official in game model.

Appearance sections
Did a very good job on the Appearance sections Houdini25 (talk) 17:00, May 8, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Double images
You make a very good point about the strategy guide picture, and I definitely agree now that it should stay in promotional art, but i think it would be such a waste to remove both ripped models of Dewitt... that is in-game. It's not a screenshot, but it IS in game. Rather or not it's ripped from the game is beside the point, it should still be considered in game (unless you want someone to create a character model section under Dewitt).

I mean, I can definitely agree with you about the strategy guide picture, that makes total sense, but i think removing Dewitt's in game look is just a bit silly....

LordProtectorCorvoAttano1 (talk) 01:42, May 8, 2013 (UTC)

Sounds good. And yeah, the strategy guide thing is definitely no big deal. The only reason I just did'nt want to move the ripped images is because I know there are literally so many versions of how Dewitt looks, I just didn't want people getting confused on how he was supposed to look in the game (kind of a canon issue I guess, yknow?)

Re: Pigskin in Olympus
Sorry for replying so late. It's been a long time since I played BioShock, but to my recollection I'm pretty sure I encountered some Pigskin Splicers in Olympus Heights. I'll have to run through the level to confirm it, though. Considering you checked first, you can undo my edit, and if I come across any Pigskins I'll rectify the page myself. --Willbachbakal (talk) 16:03, May 9, 2013 (UTC)

How to upload a profile picture for a character?
Hey pal! I'm trying to figure out how to upload a better picture of Booker as his main picture on the page, but every time I try, it puts a link above the picture... not quite sure how to get rid of that little link thing.

If you by any chance want to try, here is the picture, or you can just tell me how to do it :)

http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g334/RINZLERTRON/bookerDewittproflepictureforwiki_zpsc3c0e712.jpg

It's the same picture of Booker that's the profile picture now, but the lighting is better so that you can actually see his features/colors better! Thanks old sport! :)

LordProtectorCorvoAttano1 (talk) 15:41, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

Re: How to upload a profile picture for a character?
Thank you so much pal!

I actually know a guy who is really good at photoshop, and he somehow took the orange sunlight out of the picture, and I think that's what it did :)

Oh! I also finally took off the double image! I had forgotten about it because I was having a VERY busy month. But, I fixed it! :D

65.12.165.242 22:43, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, the photo is near identical to the one where you have the quote from booker dewitt.

That why I continue to remove it. They removed a ingame booker dewitt image that was similar to the one postedint he image gallery now. Don't get why a couple people have complaine.

I believe so. I originally put up a picutre of bookers in-game model and it was deleted saying we already have one.

I felt this was the same thing. If it isn't, then I won't delete it anymore.

Unrelated sketch
I just wanted to touch base about the composite sketch that was removed from the Booker DeWitt article. I believe there's good evidence to suggest that they are attempting to draw Booker: the woman on the Columbia PA describes Booker in a way that is not all reflective of what he actually looks like, similar to the witness, and since they have a manhunt going for Booker right then, it wouldn't make much sense to have it be another criminal. However, I will concede that there are various ways to intepret that situation, so I respect its removal--perhaps we can just keep in mind in the unlikely event we learn anything new about that sequence.

That shot actually isn't from Monument Island. It's from the airship that Comstock sabotages that is immediately before the entrance to Monument Island, but isn't part of Monument Island itself.

Reverting my edit on Zachary Hale Comstock
Hello, Unownshipper, I wanted to know why you reverted my edit to the page, Zachary Hale Comstock. I added a link to Booker DeWitt as there was none previously on the page. Even though there were mentions of the name, there were no links to the page via those links. Evidence of this can be found here. As you reverted this edit, and I believe it is a wrongful decision, I am inclined to add the link again. However, as this has been the cause of edit wars in the past, I have decided to talk to you about this instead. Kind regards, ~ironwestie (talk) 03:19, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

Tarot Deck
Didn't think anyone would make an article on this, but if you want I've just uploaded the for the tarot deck. If you need a specific file you can contact MegaScience, he extracted a lot of things, and surprising stuff too, he just didn't upload it yet.

Pauolo (talk) 09:06, June 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * You should talk to MegaScience, he's the one extracted all the in-game icons, voxophone portraits and advertisement images, which I believe for the latter that I have them categorized but haven't placed them in any article yet. See for yourself:

 * Category: BioShock Infinite Business Images

Fireman
I disagree. I think my syntax is a bit more appropriate (for instance, you should strive to refer to Firemen in plural when appropriate) and better describes the tactics that can be used against Firemen, such as using Possession (in spite of the 50% effectiveness rating) and taking advantage of the Fireman's powerful attacks to help clear out enemies. 216.58.107.222 06:18, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

There is a new user by the name of "patriotofinfinite" I find this name to be very offensive as it might as well be titled PatriotOfNaziGermany. I know people that were killed by the nazis.

Re: Family Sections
I was 75.18.126.68, just unsigned. Anyways, I do agree that even though the character info boxes have those sections for families, because they're posted higher above than the paragraphs listed for Spoilers, it just becomes too easy to spoil the game. Its just like that with Booker and Comstock, or Subject Sigma and Porter: even though they are revealed to be the same, it doesn't mean to automatically reveal their families in the info boxes. Speaking of which, the ones listed on Jack has actually been there for quite a while (may be some other user added them, and we forgot to check), but I think it was up until yesterday that it made more sense to remove them for that same reason. Although it was left ambiguous to not mentioning Ryan or Jolene as his parents, it still becomes a major spoiler that they're even mentioned to be related to him. Anyways, glad that you also took notice of this issue. Evans0305 (talk) 17:35, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

bookers profile image
I was wondering if you could correct size this image (http://bioshockmysteries.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/in-gamebooker.png)  of booker dewitt for his main profile image? I think he looks a lot like the character model found in the DLC pack and more like the vox posters in this image. Here is the image  http://bioshockmysteries.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/in-gamebooker.png  Can you resize that to the same as the on currently being used but replace this one with that? thank you

 * Then the page should be renamed, since apart from the gallery it seems pretty complete. Also, I think we may have a similar issue with The Hand of the Prophet, might be worth checking the name written on it (probably on its plans).

Bookers appearance
You do make an excellent point, but with that said,if you want to delete it, you have full rights to. But, I feel that if that is deleted, any fan speculation about Andrew Ryan=Booke or anything like that should go to, because it is just as insignificant as his appearance.

Excellent! I'd be happy to hel! :) Btw, do you like the picture I uploaded for booker (the profile pic) or should I change it back to the one where you can see the actual color of his clothing, hair, and skin? Gthe only difference is that one has the sunset effect on him (the current picture), and the other has no effect on it.... I tried to change it back, but a gentleman on here thinks that I was using e other one to try to prove him white and not native American (which I actually wasn't, because I'm part native American). I viewed his profile, and we've had problems with him editing things to be somewhat racist towards whitesand not focus on short and simple terms, as used in the game, and relying on his own knowledge of wounded knee apart for, the facts.... Any suggestions?

Yeah, I agree... I don't know if to change it or not, because weird things happen if I do, because no matter if what I say is a fact or not, this gentleman wants his way, no matter what, and it's hard because he has just as much of a right to edit the page as I do, so i can't really do anything.

LordProtectorCorvoAttano1 (talk) 19:28, August 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Just to clarify I said in one of my ealier edits that I wanted it to be up to Union for what pictured he wanted, I asked both parties that it be left up to unions decision on bookers profile image. And to leave it unchaged until then. I orignally asked union himself if it was ok for that picuture and he reedited for me. If he'd agreed with lord then I would be fine with using the picture without the sunbloom. Thanks EkriikE (talk) 21:04, August 9, 2013 (UTC)

bookers history
What is wrong with what I put? Booker did go his whole live being charged being part native american. Booker also knows how to speak sioux. This isn't speculation, this is fact. Why is this being edited out? I do view it as disrepsctul that this can't be put as part of his history. This isn't speculation, thios was in the voxophones. Many parts of this wikipedia have info added that was part of the voxophone conversations. I don't understand why this can't be eited or why i'm being attacked by adding a couple sentinces to his history for adding this. I don't view what I added as epculation. It was in the voxophones. It sohuld be added to his history bio. He has been charged with being native american his whole life. Maybe he isn't one, but people charged him with it his whole life. And he knows how to speak sioux. This isn't speculation. He talked to a young boy with the sioux language. Why can't this be added? Crunkus (talk) 12:30, August 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * We don't know whether he is part native American or not. Being able to speak a tongue doesn't necessary mean it is part of your ancestry. Also, we don't know when he learned to speak said tongue, it could have been after the massacre for all we know.
 * Pauolo (talk) 13:25, August 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * I never put that he was part native american. I put that he was criticized his entire life for being part native american. Even in the second sentence I wrote "supposedly", meaning were not sure if he is or not. Comstock said in a voxophone that it was something he was charged with and followed him his whole life. I believe that should be included. I also never said that booker was a sioux. I said he could speak it. I wrote a sentence about it. I don't know why a sentence about his ability to speak sioux is not being included. I think it should be. Crunkus (talk) 16:01, August 25, 2013 (UTC)

I need your help
Cronkus keeps on uploading a new version of Booker even though the one I added (with the white backdrop) is fine. Can you please help me. He's calling me a bully when I tell him to stop. I'm sorry we're involving you in this but none of the admins are helping me.

Question
Hi I was wondering if you could point out to me where the information of Lady Comstock's history of previously being a suitor to different men before she met Comstock was obtained? Basically which part of the game was it from?

Hello, sorry for the vandalism, I wanted to update the behind the scenes for Elizabeth about the feud between Ken and Rule 34.Any options?

WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT!
hay i put in the back ground section of Elizabeth's page that she and Elieanor share similarities that is true i did alot of comparing and if u think about it Columbia and Rapture ARE parrelel dimesions complete opposites and u deleted it why? its true elieano and elizabeth are both linked with lambs, seen as god like beings worshiped by the citerzans and are the "daghters" of the hero/villians of there respective games so why did u delete it what was wrong with it seriosly every wiki im on has someone like u what have u people got against me i do my research i add a genuine point and u guys delete it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chariot?
Well, I don't know how to call it. It looks like a mobile stand, and you can find it usually next to what would be the entrance to the locations played in multiplayer. By memory there is one at Kashmir Restaurant, Medical Pavilion, Mercury Suites, Point Prometheus, the Fighting McDonagh's, and I can't recall the others.

Yes indeed. They don't really appear in all levels, like Gatherer's Garden vending machines and Vita-Chambers. They're more like details if not Easter eggs.

The Protector Trials Altha Big Daddy Might Have A Name!?!
hay Unounshipper just thought id run this by ya cos i want to avoid clashing agane lol

so i noticed whalst playing The Protector Trails that on the left wrist of the Namless Altha Big Daddy that there is 001 engraved i beleive this to be like a serial number which means he may possibly be known as subject 1, i have left this observation on the Protector Trials page Trivia section (it already had one so i assume it to be known by u) all i want to know is if this is a worthy trivia observation and if u think it might/isnt then plz may u read the peice i wrote and let me know what u think thank u.

BaS names
I'm asking you and some of the other experienced Users that I know of to help out look up the game's files so there could at least have something to write for a Splicer article for BaS. I think some users want to know what the names of the Splicers from Burial at Sea would be called. I'm wondering if instead of making up a name (much like the "Slate Soldiers" or whatever), that if you can look up the name on the game files. If at all, thanks. --Evans0305 (talk) 02:55, November 22, 2013 (UTC)

Oh okay. I kinda thought you did look into the game's files. I notice that you make screenshots. If you, or at least anyone else you know, can at least get some good screenshots of the Splicers (especially for Frosty), that could work as well. --Evans0305 (talk) 21:20, November 22, 2013 (UTC)

Rich Text
What exactly does "rich text" mean, anyway? ZanyDragon (talk) 22:41, November 26, 2013 (UTC)

BaS rapture
I don't get your crusade for stating that BaS is in a different Rapture. Ken Levine outright states over at here that this is the Rapture that BS1 and BS2 take place in. It may not all add up, but frankly, the word of the developer takes precedence over some inconsistencies. Besides, it's not hard to explain the inconsistencies away; the drinkable Plasmids were stopped because the original ones were easier to develop (which happens quite a lot in war, where weapons are developed because they are easy to manufacture, not because they are the most powerful), the Air Grabbers weren't mentioned in BS1 and BS2 because the player never encountered places where they'd be needed. Besides, BS2 has several elements that contract BS1 (like Big Daddies roaming around pre-Civil War), but you don't see people saying that it takes place in another universe. Heck, even BS1 is inconsistent with several things, like what ADAM looks like. Should we say that the log where Tenenbaum describes ADAM as green, posters show EVE as purple and an Audio Log that discusses the Med Hypo, an object that is never found in BS1 and BS2, actually come from an alternate timeline? That's silly.

Taking BS1 and BS2's take on Rapture as the only prime Rapture is weird and doesn't fit reality. I live in a city that is divided into three sections, North, West and South. If I were to tell you about South part of the city, then show you the West part a few years later, you would not say that the West part of the city should be regarded as a different city because it looks different, has different stores, mentions store chains that I never showed you in the Southern part, a chain restaurant in the Western part of the city was using the Western part as a test market for food that didn't appear in the Southern part of town, and has local figures not mentioned in my explanation of the Southern part of town. However, when this happens in video games, people are willing to say they actually come from different timelines and the like. I don't get it.

If you're willing to editorialize because of a simple hunch, fine, but don't be surprised when misinformation becomes common knowledge because you decided your pet timeline of Rapture overrode what the actual developer said. Like it or not, the developer's word is the best for understanding something, even if has some inconsistencies with previously established info. Darkman 4 (talk) 03:06, November 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry about my tone.


 * Based on Levine's wording, I think BaS Rapture is the Rapture we all know. When he says that the Liz in BaS is the "prime" Liz, it's obvious he means that it's the Liz that appeared in BS:I. This Liz knows about Columbia (see: the Sky Hook/Air Grabber comment) and knows all about who Comstock really is. Now, what makes more sense: Levine saying, in the same sentence about the BaS Liz, is that Rapture prime means the one from BS1 and 2, or Rapture before things went to hell? Based on how he used the word "prime" in a few words before, it's obvious that he meant the one that appears in BS1 and BS2. You don't change the meaning of a word you're using mid-sentence.


 * Anywho, I don't think that it's unreasonable that there would be multiple copies of a Plasmid that sets shit on fire. Since Incinerate/Devil's Kiss are a weapon Plasmid, let's go with guns as an example. In real life, there are lots of pistols that fire the 9x19mm cartridge. They all look different and have different ballistics, but it still causes a significant amount of pain if a 9mm bullet fired from one of them hits you. Same thing with Devil's Kiss and Incinerate; both of them set set shit on fire, but in different ways and have different branding. I don't think it's unreasonable that, like real life firearm manufacturers, Fontaine made variations of Plasmids that set shit on fire in order to see what would work or sell best. BaS Booker preferred the drinkable Plasmids, but by the time BS1 happens, the injected ones were commonplace. If I saw someone with a 9mm pistol that was only manufactured for a few years, I wouldn't say that they were from an alternate universe. :P


 * The department store shenanigans could easily be explained as Ryan trying to send a message. By trapping Fontaine's followers in his own Department Store, then sinking it, he's trying to give Fontaine a big "Fuck you" and tell people what happens when you fuck with him. Based on what we've learned in BS1 and BS2, Ryan seems exactly like the petty and spiteful enough to do something like that. Besides, perhaps the Fontaine followers in the department store were too spliced up to be useful for Sinclair and Alexander's Big Daddy experiments in Persephone or for testing Plasmids on, so it was easier for Ryan to say "You know what, these assholes are worthless for the Big Daddy program and testing Plasmids on. Let's send Rapture a message and show what happens when you fuck with me". They already look pretty close to the BS1 Splicers. It's not like everything has to happen the exact same way, no matter what.


 * In regards to Kashmir, I believe that the Kashmir in BS1 was made smaller than it really should be for technical reasons. Games tend to vastly size-down areas because making something, like say a giant restaurant, would do things like slow down the pace of a level and cause technical problems, like lag. It's supposed to be a premium restaurant, but it looks slightly larger than your average medium-quality restaurant does, even though it has two floors and a nifty statue. I mean, I've been in freaking Olive Gardens larger than the Kashmir, and the game is trying to tell me that some guys attacking it kickstarted a civil war. In BaS, the team didn't have to worry about making Kashmir playable, so they could scale it more like it was really meant to be. After seeing the facade of Kashmir in BaS, I can see how attacking it would provoke a civil war.


 * If it turns out that the Rapture in BaS is actually a different one in Episode 2, then I think it's fine to change it. For now, we should just go with what seems obvious; Rapture in BaS is the one that appears in BS1 and 2. If it's different, than that's fine. Darkman 4 (talk) 13:20, November 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * I completly agree with everything you seid and am on ur side in this argument, unless Levine seys any different its the same Rapture to me. and in the cass of the Bouncer with the grapple drill hat can be explained the same way that Darkman 4 explaind the drinkable plasmids, producion speed, they were most likely just phased out.

BioShock Infinite Public Announcements
I need some help on the BioShock Infinite Public Address Announcements page. I'm trying to make out Daisy Fitzroy's announcement that is heard in the Factory courtyard when the zeppelin appears. ZanyDragon (talk) 00:15, January 18, 2014 (UTC)

Kashmir Article
Saying that a bomb destroyed the statue and saying the attack started with bomb preemptively placed inside the statue are two very different things. Perhaps it could have happened like that, but saying it did based on a blasted statue is quite presumptuous. Whether or not the bomb was inside, it could have happened at any point after the riot. I don't feel comfortable with that degree of supposition. As for the "version" business, I don't see how you can make that judgement based on a distant exterior shot, especially when we've never seen the exterior before. It has rounded windows, just like the original did. Perhaps its simply a section we haven't seen before like the multiplayer map. What leads you to that conclusion?

Just a heads up, head titles should not display links, hence why I use the Main template. I got that from MegaScience and Gardimuer last year on a Steam chat. Pauolo (talk) 17:10, February 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Another thing, it was decided before that content related to Infinite's story DLC should be separated into Burial at Sea - Episode 1 and Burial at Sea - Episode 2. It's better to consider them both independently rather than a single spin-off game/complete storyline DLC. Pauolo (talk) 17:15, February 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks to you. Other than that I know you've continued editing on the wiki and I'm grateful for that. Problem is there's no admin or moderator around to see that people respect the general manual of style, so I'll try asking Gardimuer if she can appoint a new one among the current active editors. Meanwhile, if you need to check the manual of style of any policy regarding the wiki, that might be useful:.


 * Categories like Welcome to Rapture, Medical Pavilion, Neptune's bounty, etc... are all subcategories of BioShock Locations. When categorizing articles, it is best to avoid putting a page in both a category and its parent one, or else those subcategories serve no purpose at all. So technically, those pages are still part of BioShock Locations, just a step below in the category hierarchy. Another example, I did the same with pages having both Burial at Sea - Episode 1 and BioShock Infinite Downloadable Content. It also helps to have page ends less crowded in categories.

booker dewitt page
<p style="color:rgb(255,255,255);">Gearslover has already added a couple pictures of booker dewitt on the main page and has done quite a bit of editing on that page. I like the picture of bookers belongings when he opens the case better that was added by Jspyster1 here  awhile back. We alraedy have numerous close up of bookers face on the booker dewitt page and think it was better before the revert by gears

<p style="color:rgb(255,255,255);"> plus I think we should keep the previous text. I think gears should keep his past contrubutions to the page but we need to have a little diversity of posters posting pictures of booker and adding to his biography page. Thanks


 * I strongly disagree that we need need so m,any close up of  booker dewitts face (we already have quite a few, aka voxophone shot, main pic shot of him in museum, going up to columbia, revolutionary shot, and end game at the sea shot. i'm fine with these but think we should have the brief case shot to diversify a little bit) That pervious brief case shot has been there since october 2012 when the beaqts of america trailer was shown. We already have so many other close up of bookers face on the booker dewitt page. I also lik the previous posting better. Why does gears have to have such a monopoly on the way booker dewitt looks on the page (he already posted two faceshots of booker within the artcile, have no problem with this as they been there awhile and would not edit them out, just dont think one person should have so much say on the whole booker article page)? He already posted two other pictures of booker dewitt on the main page. Let someone else have a viewpoint and keep the briefcase shot please. It has a cool detective "bring us the girl and wipe away the debt" vibe. It's been on the booker page for so long at this point I think it shoud stay (not to mention it sums up the very beginning part of the game really well.) Thanks. PS; sorry if I'm a little agressive, I might be new in posting here but I've been comign to this wikia since the debut 2010 trailer of Bioshock Infinite. Evandalton089 (talk) 07:23, February 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think the brief case shot is cool and adds to the "bring us the girl wipe away the debt" vibe from the beginning of the game. I think it's a cool image and it's been there since october 2012. Also, that image he put up is from Burial at Sea episode 1. That was when elizabeth got her head severed not when her pinky was severed. It's and innacurate image to put up to say that elizabeth got her pinky severed. Evandalton089 (talk) 23:02, February 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * This is the brief case shot I was talking about: http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121021221009/bioshock/images/9/96/Infinite_trailer1.jpg I think that is a really cool image and sums up to me "bring us the girl and wipe away the debt" Evandalton089 (talk) 23:11, February 24, 2014 (UTC)

bookers bio
Since we really don't know the full relationship with the lady booker pregnated, should we really go that much into depth about it? We don't know if they were lovers (or even married) or not. It could of just been a short fling or nothing even serious (booker was a drinker supposedly). Since the game doesn't go into deltail about it. I think it should be kept to a minimum. Your opinion?

Comstock origins
SHould we really go into the whole booker dewitt years in Comstocks bio/origins? I feel like we should leave that to booker dewitt's page. What is your opinion? TylerRogers (talk) 01:04, March 10, 2014 (UTC)

I understand where you coming from. I thought the previous text in origins which was just this:

<span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);line-height:1.5em;">To the people of Columbia, little was known about Comstock prior to a baptism he spoke of, and had rarely spoken of anything before that event. One thing he claimed was that he was a member of the 7th Cavalry and a participant in the Wounded Knee Massacre. After the baptism, Comstock became a deeply religious man, and he used his newfound faith to reshape his identity. He soon became an influential man with the United States government.

...did enough without being to revealing. I guess I'm just against mentioning right at the start of his bio saying he was booker. I kinda think that can be  experience ruining for someone that may just be looking for a little info ont he game before getting it. That's a huge spoiler just mentioned right at the start, and may ruin the twist/ ending won't have anywhere near the impact as it did people the first timet ehy played it.. I'm really against mentioning that at the very start of his bio. TylerRogers (talk) 01:26, March 10, 2014 (UTC)

99.9 percent of the time I would agree with you on that. I just think there should be an exception in this case. I do think it can quite literally ruin the experience. I really believe the previous text should just be in the origins. Just enough info without being to revealing. Either way though, I'll leave it be. I do think it's going to end up ruining the experience for some players though for it to be so blunt up front at the very start of his bio like that. Can and exception possible be made for something like this that can damage the experience? I'm not against him hacing and origin section. I just think that's too big of a reveal to be at the very start of his bio. It's such a huge part of the game that can be utterly ruined. Again. 99.9 percent of the time I would agree with you. I just think something like this should be an exception. TylerRogers (talk) 01:51, March 10, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, but I remember when talking about this on gaming forums and whatnot people were just blown away and knocked out of their chairs, shocked. People talked about it and analyzed it for weeks. I was as well. I really do believe this should be the one exception in this case. TylerRogers (talk) 02:08, March 10, 2014 (UTC)
