Has the story been told too wrongly?

Man... what a great DLC.

And to think that I almost ignored it... thank god I didn't

This might be the best piece of the bioshock series.

Might be the best thing to come out of Bioshock.

The best storytelling in all of Bioshock. Also holds some interesting connections to contemporary issues such as AI development and things of that sort. Also nice to have a game or DLC story in this franchise that doesn't end with a big blowout gunfight as its final piece of the game.

I hesitated to play this after finishing the base game but I am glad I decided to give it a shot. The story told in this DLC is arguably better than the base game and does so with really only three major characters involved. With a crazy twist at the end, a new gun and plasmid as well as a new Big Daddy type, this expansion to an already great game makes it even greater.
