I don't know? Why does the majority of the populace attack you with guns when superpowers are literally sold in vending machines on every street corner? How are the underclass people barred from owning guns when those are also literally sold in vending machines on every street corner? Why doesn't Elizabeth achieve omnipotence at the beginning when the Siphon (aka, the very building that limits her powers) gets destroyed moments after you save her? Why doesn't she just open up a tear to some terrestrial location on Earth and escape Columbia that way?
The writing is a fucking mess on every front. Bad plot, bad backstory, bad lore, bad characterization, bad world-building. Oh, but it has a cute girl who flutters her eyelashes at you and is sad and it says something about racism, so 10/10 from every journalist!
Why didn't Frodo use Gandalf's eagles to reach Mt.Doom faster?
In all seriousness, Plot has never been a strongsuit in any of the Bioshock games. It took me like 5 minutes to realize Ryan was the villain from the first game without seeing any prior footage or walkthroughs of the game at all.
