One little tweak... (Gaming)

the cliched twist of power corrupting - it's not nearly as clever as it thinks it is. In my opinion, anyway.
If they had gone for more the "Of course the Vox Populi uprising would be violent" route it would have been much more satisfying. Leave the "power corrupts" angle vague, maybe only hinted, but then the game suggesting the Vox are still right and that this violence is somehow vaguely justified.Booker's comment on the elevator ruins it too - much like Chief's line at the end of Halo 4. NO CRAP BOOKER. I HAD NO IDEA MAN. WOW. NOW GO SHOOT SOMETHING.
Was it just there so Elizabeth has an excuse to kill someone in a very personal way? Couldn't they save that for her torture, where she murders the doctors with a tornado? It would have been very personal for her then, since she used her power to do it.
Sorry your verb tense is confusing me--are you saying that the game suggests the Vox are still right and the violence is justified, or that you think that would have been a more interesting angle?
