Not really that interested in more Bioshock, even though Bioshock 2 is still supposed to be pretty good despite lacking the originality and uniqueness of the first game.
They're at least going for a new setting this time, which does pique my interest a bit. The franchise is also going back to the original development team, so there's that too. And the steampunk style looks even more amped up, with clanking gears and airship and Victorian architecture.
Moral choice was really a non-factor in the original, since it boiled down to a single question "Do you want to be evil or good?". Despite the characterization by the staff that it was tough choice, on account of their being a limited supply of Adam, you could easily make your way through the game with killing the Little Sisters, which simply made the moral choice an issue of preference. Hopefully it will be more fleshed out this time.
