Come, all you fair and tender maids
Who flourish in your pri-ime
Beware, take care, keep your garden fair
Let Gnoman steal your thy-y-me
Le-et Gnoman steal your thyme




One thing that I don't think was pointed out in the videos is that the game's Great Moral Choice is fundamentally broken. You have the option to harvest or save the Little Sisters, but there is no reason whatsoever to harvest them. Note that Tea was more gated by the slots than he was by available ADAM, and those are progression restricted.

Also, I think you get more ADAM by saving them anyway, due to the gifts.

Either more, or close to the same amount .

I remember a video saying that Rapture was technologically possible to build with what was available at the time but I can't track it down.

You get more ADAM by harvesting but between the Big Daddy plasmid and the other stuff you unlock I don't know what it actually works out to.

I don't know how accurate this statement is since I've never played this game, but apparently the difference between harvesting and saving the Little Sisters becomes a lot more apparent on hard mode since enemies can take a lot more punishment.

I played on Hard mode when I went through this game, and my experience was that ADAM became less important, not more, because the plasmids became much more useless.

I'd love to see you do Infinite at some point; most of the division surrounding it is due to the story, though. Gameplay-wise it's a definite improvement.

Eh, I dunno about that. It switches the permanent arsenal of Bioshock for a temporary loadout like Halo would do, and keeping in an upgrade system in those circumstances doesn't make sense to me. Also, the Vigors in Infinite feel pretty vestigial compared to Plasmids, both in terms of how similarly they all function and in terms of them not being as integrated into the plot.
