I lived through the Blitz, Pearl - and the fall of Rapture. They took my memory, my voice - everything that made me a man. But nothing ever scared me so much as saying goodbye. I wanted to save you. I couldn't resist trying to bring you back, the only way I knew how. But you didn't want that - I know it now. And I think I'm finally ready... to let you go your way. I stand here with the sun on my face... and it's almost like I can feel you smiling. Goodbye, Pearl. I love you more than I've got words for. Milton.

after seeing several people mention how great the minerva's den DLC is i gave it a go, and while i loved that there was more bioshock to play*, i was still left wanting.. am i missing something? was it only underwhelming because i thought there'd be more to it? am i being dumb. and more importantly why exactly is it called minerva's den? if i squint i can understand because goddess of strategy... strategy and problem-solving.... the Thinker knows..... but again, is there more that i'm missing?

thank you for any and all answers :-)

SO! How are we all feeling after the ending of Bioshock 2: Minerva's Den? What a surprise twist ending! All in my feels.

Charles Milton Porter: I believe I'm done feeding audio recordings and personal anecdotes to The Thinker. I am set to test the… Personality Duplication function. Target personality… Pearl Porter. Thinker, are you ready?

The Thinker: Yes, Milton.

Charles: Ahem, Starting test. Hello… Pearl.

Pearl Porter (The Thinker): Hello, Milton.

Charles: How… ahem, how have you been?

Pearl (The Thinker): Just wonderful, Milton! I've missed you, though. It's been so long…

Charles: Pearl, I… No. No, this isn't right. It isn't… her. Thinker, stop the test.

Pearl (The Thinker): But what's the matter, Milton? Don't you still love me?

Charles: Oh god I said… Oh God I said, I said end function, Thinker! Now! -- It's over.

Rapture is at war, Porter… and you have cast your lot with the enemy. Your concerned associates provided me with a recording of your own voice, swearing loyalty to Fontaine and his gangsters -- evidence of treason. My men are already on their way. The Thinker no longer needs you; take pride in that. Mr. Wahl is qualified to ensure that it is used in the city's best interest. Eventually, a man's dream exceeds him, and his work becomes his legacy. For you, Charles, that hour has come.

The Thinker never gave up on you, Mr. Porter. It could not leave you behind. Please, step up to the console und begin the bathysphere launch sequence. We have much work ahead of us. Come now, into the vessel. Our work together is only beginning.
