BioShock in Other Media

Since its release, BioShock has had a major cultural impact, both inside and outside the gaming world. Many of its elements have been referenced in other media.

Andrew Ryan

 * Blizzard Entertainment's MMORPG World of Warcraft features a reference to Andrew Ryan, that appears as a NPC named "Anderov Ryon" in Stonetalon Mountains, who gives a modified version of the very first speech Andrew Ryan gives.
 * In a recent expansion pack for the game Fallout: New Vegas the player is tasked with a challenge titled "A Slave Obeys" where they must assassinate Mr. House, the leader of New Vegas who bares an uncanny resemblance to Andrew Ryan, using a golf driver.

Big Daddies and Little Sisters

 * An Alliance quest chain in World of Warcraft in Stonetalon Mountains requires the player to help Alice, a little girl, repair Mr. P (short for Big Papa), a massive robot in the shape of a diving suit, before piloting him and killing several enemies using fire, ice and lightning attacks. Alice's dialogue is sometimes identical to the Little Sisters', and at the end of the quest chain she offers the player "Mr. Bubble's Shockingly Delicious Ice Cream".
 * In The Simpsons episode "The Food Wife", Homer Simpson takes his eldest children, Bart and Lisa, to the Expensive Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E4. In a character gallery features the game's iconic Bouncer in between Halo's Master Chief and John Madden.
 * The "Long Live Play" advertisement campaign for the PS3 features a commercial in which several well-known characters from a variety of popular video games meet in a tavern to toast "Michael," the player of their featured games. A BioShock-era Little Sister, in a slightly modified purple dress, makes a cameo appearance.

The Lighthouse

 * In Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the Blackreach Route elevator to the Tower of Mzark has the ascetic appearance of The Lighthouse, especially when the player must reach its stairway from the water.

Little Sister Vent

 * In Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, where in the Unfathomable Depths area in Avanchnzel, there are structures attached to walls that are almost identical in appearance to the Little Sister Vents in the BioShock games.
