Many believe the game doesn’t need a big bad, arguing that the focus should be on reintroducing the Locust as an unknowable force. They say the people of Sera know nothing about the Locust, which would make the attacks more terrifying and unpredictable.

They argue that having a big bad would make the story more predictable and, ultimately, lessen its impact. While fans aren’t opposed to characters like RAAM or Skorge, they believe they shouldn’t take center stage. Instead, they feel the Locust as a whole should be the main threat.

They believe it would be more fitting for the game’s final fight to resemble the approach taken inBioShock2. Rather than centering on a single big bad, like the Frank Fontaine boss fight inBioShock 1, they suggest the final boss fight should focus on all the game’s enemies, making it more impactful.
