More from Jesie
I made a 'Tell me to draw something' thread on r/bioshock and this was the first and only thing asked of me to draw.
I immediately regretted this decision.

It's compelling? That's a first.
I've been spoiling myself on any and all information I can get my hands on. I'm a sap for spoilers. I figure Infinite's story is gonna have so many twists and turn and eastereggs that wont be figured out until the fifth play though that I can afford a little spoilerage here and there. Plus it's hard to write on characters you know nothing about.

When I first played the original Bioshock, all I knew about it going in was it took place in the ocean. I knew nothing else.
The story grabbed me like few ever do. I grew to care greatly about Atlas and totally despise Ryan. When the twist came it made my heart drop. I spent a good amount of time afterwards hoping that it was all a mistake, that the man who lead me this far and gained so much of my unwitting trust would never do this to me. I came to regard him as a fiend and in a place like Rapture, that was few and far between. It was a knife twist to the gut. Then I began to question everything and everyone. Never in my time of playing a game had I threw myself in so deep I began to honestly care about the well being of the characters to the point that I felt an emotion that strong.
I'm not a emotional person. To make me stop and stare at my monitor in paralyzed shock is a magical feet. I've have worse news thrown at me about real people in my life and I didn't get a reaction like that. That says something about the person playing the character as well as the writer. Ken Levine is a fucking fantastic writer, both in story and in character.
Bioshock two was... disappointing. It wasn't the amount of hype for me, it's just the story and characters were not as great as the original. But Ken didn't have his hands in Bioshock two. The characters did not grab me and pull me in like the original. I didn't care about being a big daddy because no one give me a reason to care. There was no one to bond me with the character. Tenenbaum tried but ultimately she just was not wrote well enough to hold me. Then I was passed along to other characters who while wrote ok, were not attention grabbers. They were just ok.
I could have known the entire plot of Bioshock and had still enjoyed the ride. The same could not be said for Bioshock 2.
Ken is 100% responsible for the original Bioshock. He's also all in Infinite. He's a marvelous story teller. He's also one of the best character writers I've ever seen. Even if the plot does end up falling flat, I have no doubt he'll create characters as engaging if not more so then the original Bioshock. I'll grow to care about Elizabeth as much as I cared about Atlas. If something happens to her I'll feel that same gut wrenching, world falling apart, make or break your soul pause I felt in the original, and for me that's well worth it.
Spoilers be damned.
Plus I like drawing comics about Booker being a dick.

Bioshock was amazing for me. funnily enough the hype worked for me. I just thought it was a first person shooter, then I really played it. amazing. Especially a game with a heart and soul in philosophy, in ethics! I adored the way they handled morality and characters within the game, not really the little sister's but everything else. All the background and the actions of the game.
Bioshock two was a disappointment in and and of itself. It's true that it was a shadow of the past game. I remember playing it and getting to a point where I had no idea what the "good" option was. Sadly it was with one of the more compelling characters for me, but I just couldn't figure out what the good option was. twas a pity.
It also lost that innate fear. the difference between being dropped into Rapture with nothing but the clothes on your back having to defend against splicers and big daddies, then you go to "you're a big daddy, the toughest thing in rapture, and by the way you're better than the other non-prototypes for some reason" all that initial horror was lost.
The hype killed me. So many claims that it's such an amazing game to get...that...
I know infinite will be great. I am dying to see what happens, and I want ever single bit of it to hit my virgin ears from the source itself. I want it to guide me through time and time again.
