>Main character is a Big Daddy who fights though hell to rescue his assigned daughter, Eleanor
>Game expresses the importance of a father figure for Eleanor as her actions are reflected on the behavior, and actions of the Big Daddy
>The entire ending is based on what a girl has learned from her father
(Example: If father is evil. Eleanor becomes evil. If father is Good, Eleanor becomes good. If father made mixed, nonsensical choices, Eleanor becomes broken and confused.)
>Main villain, Sofia Lamb, is a collectivist that uses concepts of "Victimhood," "Unity," and "Equality" to set up The Family as nothing more than a way of subverting Rapture to her control - using this manipulation tactic since the moment she arrived at Rapture.
>Sinclair who is introduced as a one-note comedic profit capitalist turns out to be a good hearted guy who actually cared for Eleanor and her father. His last words after his Big Daddy conversion are, "Kill me, so I don't hurt Eleanor"
>The Mark Meltzer subplot is of a man who goes to the ends of the earth to find his daughter Cindy then agrees to become a Rumbler Big Daddy just so he can be with his daughter again.

It's no surprise why idiots hate this game.
