Scripted Events

For the Scripted Events of BioShock Infinite, see Scripted Events (BioShock Infinite).

For the Scripted Events of Burial at Sea, see Scripted Events (Burial at Sea).

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' performances. 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. It would have been pointless for the developers to animate the Splicer in the car since the player is not close enough to see inside before the cart falls.
• The dialogue from the "Little Eden Splicer" implies that the Breadwinner 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.
• As observed in the video above, the dialogue used for the "Trapped Splicer" in Outer Persephone is actually leftover lines from the original BioShock. Each of the Splicers had lines recorded for when attacking Little Sisters, but such events were either so rare (in scripted confrontations or when Splicers become Enraged, the combatant targets the Big Daddy) or removed entirely (so as to not directly show violence against children), so the lines were not heard and thus suitable to be reused later.
