Scripted Events

Scripted Events are deliberate situations created by the game designers that occur throughout Rapture, and serve to advance the narrative. During these events, the characters may perform unique actions or say original dialogue separate from the normal character models. This article is meant to chronicle the conversation and animation of individuals who are too minor to have/deserve their own page.

Behind the Scenes

 * The dialogue from the "Elevator Splicer" implies that the Splicer rides the lift down as it crashes to the bottom of the shaft. In actuality, the car is empty as it falls. The Toasty spawns out of the floor within the elevator bank after the compartment impacts.
 * The dialogue from the "Little Eden Splicer" implies that he murders the Baby Jane. In point of fact, her body is a corpse from the start. It takes so long for Subject Delta to make it over to the scene of the crime that there was no need for the designers to animate her being hit, falling over, and dying.
 * Although a Toasty model Splicer's voice is heard ordering either the Baby Jane Splicer or Subject Delta to leave the Illegal Plasmid Lab at Joe's Green Groceries, there isn't actually a Toasty model present. No Splicers appear until Delta activates the safe in the office, so the dialogue is simply unattached to any particular figure.
