how far am i? i've only been playing maybe 5 hours or so

also, i think i only missed 1 or 2 little sisters. but i've been harvesting them all. more ADAM

I fucked up majorly, I had been saving all the sisters and one time i accidently harvested one! so this has basicly mucked it all up? I really didnt want to do this. It's annoying.

that's exactly why i never overwrite a save...

i'll have 300 saves on my game before i ever overwrite one... i learned from StarWars KOTOR that you never have only one game save slot. i hit a major glitch towards the end of the 20+ hour story and since i didn't have other saves to load, i basically had to start the entire game over.

on bioshock, i always pick new save when i save. always.

youre not far at all.


harvesting the girls is a bad idea. you get gifts after you save 2-3 girls. they contain 200-300 adam & a special tonic or plasmid.

you get 160 for each girl harvested.

you get 80 for each saved.


harvest ---- 160*3 = 480

rescue ---- 80*3= 240 + 200 (or 300) = 440 (540)

then you also get a new plasmid & they are good ones too. hypnotise big daddy is the best one in the game. you have to wait a little longer to get adam, but its worth it in the end.

After experimenting with that plasmid, I've come to the opinion that it's one of the worst plasmids; at the very least definitely not as good as you think. The BD's won't attack any enemies unless you shoot them or they hit you. In narrow corridors this can be a big problem because of the fact that the splicers won't attack the bouncer either; they'll just bypass them and attack you and you may not have fired because of fear for hitting the big daddy and getting pwned. Another problem is that the BD has alot of attacks that involve blindly swinging. An example of this is when a splicer behing him aggros him in some way; if you're in front of him he'll attack the splicer by swinging in a 180 degree arc,hitting you and taking a big chunk out of your health...more than that splicer ever would. This will especially be a bitch on hell.

I can't count the number of times the BD has hit by "by accident". And In almost ever case I used the plasmid,looking back on those situations I realized I would rather not have him.

To answer the purpose of the thread,I'm about 1/2 or 3/4's of the way through the second last level.
