Little Sisters - Save or Kill? - Page 3

<sub>I'd like to correct some numbers here. You do not get more ADAM for Rescuing all the little sisters. Take a look at the numbers:

Rescue
3 Little Sisters x 80 ADAM for each = 240 ADAM Total
240 ADAM + 200 ADAM from Tenenbaum's Gift = 440 ADAM Total
440 ADAM x 7 groups of 3 Little Sisters = 3080 ADAM Total

Final result: Rescuing all Little Sisters gives you 3080 ADAM.

Harvest
3 Little Sisters x 160 Adam for each = 480 ADAM Total
No extra Adam from Tenenbaum
480 ADAM x 7 groups of 3 Little Sisters = 3360 ADAM

Final result: Harvesting all Little Sisters gives you 3360 ADAM.

Now, unless you're really, really bad at math, 3080 =/= 3360. You actually get an extra 280 ADAM for Harvesting all the Little Sisters. However, you'll miss out on the 'Hypnotize Big Daddy' Plasmids, as well as the Armored Shell 2 Plasmid, as those can only be gotten from Tenenbaum's Gifts.

Frankly, if you know what you're going for, and use your ADAM wisely, the ADAM you get from Rescuing is more than enough to pick up what you need. You'll have to do some picking and choosing early on, but if you're patient, you can survive.

And for the record, I Rescue them. To Harvest them goes against my nature. Just because they've been taught to do horrible things, that doesn't mean they're no longer people. If they can be rescued, then they should be. And the video you get at the end proves that it's not futile. So yes, I do it for the warm fuzzies.</sub>

When I played Bioshock, I didn't know about the different endings. I have always played the good guy in all my games so I saved all the little sisters. I didn't have the heart to harvest them. Although the good ending cutscene was short and somewhat abrupt, It got me teary-eyed because it was worth it. All the girls lived their lives the way they are supposed to. In the end, I actually had so much Adam saved. I didn't need to spend it all because I focused only on the plasmids and tonics I used most.

I just started playing Bioshock last Friday, and this game is fun. The Splicers are annoying and the Big Daddies are challenging but fun nevertheless. So far I've saved every Litter Sister I encountered. I'm halfway through the game and to OP you messed yourself up for the 100G achievement for saving every Little Sister. So I would go with Save
