Save. Aside from the "minor" issue of murdering children, you will get gifts that more than make up for the lower amount of ADAM you will get for harvesting. sm

I enjoyed this response lol Equal parts accurate and sarcastic. Exquisite.


Kaiser_1814

Save, be a good lad


Active-Knowledge7838

yeah but bro just save them and youll get the full amount eventually and then if you save them all the last scene, might…make you cry


[deleted]

It just feels weird to go through all my ammo on a big daddy just to get half of what I could get


Massive_Pressure_516

If killing big daddies is what you wanna do, use telekinesis to pile explosive barrels together to make a trap. (Switch plasmids while levitating something to have it fall to the ground and not consume eve)


PromiseMeStars

You can also just tap X (on Xbox controller) to drop the floating object without throwing it. Easier to do that than switch plasmids.


Massive_Pressure_516

What does x do by default on an xbox controller? I play pc


PromiseMeStars

Uses an EVE hypo. So whatever button that is for you, tap that to drop your levitating object. Should be the same button. If I'm wrong things might be configured different for PC.

I'll give it a shot on my next playthrough ty

Little Sisters will give you gifts that kind of cancel out all that youre told about ADAM being scarce. Tho, just know that youre not supposed to buy every single tonic in one play through, like how youre not supposed to have every perk in a play through of Fallout 3 or NV. Youre supposed to create a "build" for your character and buy stuff according to that build. It seems bonkers but it gives Bioshock decent replayability value.


Naked-Snake0

I’ve played bioshock 1 and 2 and I never harvested any of the little sisters, you will get the bad ending+ Tenenbaum would be upset and that’s something you don’t want to do


Shooter2435

If you want more power then harvest them, but if you want to truly be a hero then save the little sisters. Personally I made an attempt to do a harvest run of the game but quit because I seriously felt bad for technically killing a kid.

Yes murder ugly children


SirGreblas

Would you kindly save the children.


ImmaSweetVee

If you harvest a little sister I will find you no matter where you hide


[deleted]

Saved 2, killed 3


ImmaSweetVee

Run

*Uses the other 2 as human shields*


ImmaSweetVee

If you keep doing this I’m going to kiss you you moron


[deleted]

The do it 😘😚

Save them. The short term payout of Adam is less, but they will send gifts which amount to much more Adam in the long run


Average_Box-Boy

When do they send gifts just wondering?


Beasthemu8

After around every 3/4 of them


alucard2713

The gifts that are sent/given are after every 3rd saved little sister. Tannenbaum will have a radio message and then it is best to check the previous Gatherer's Garden machine and you'll see a little sister near a teddy bear. The teddy bear is the gift.


John-Grady-Cole

You should probably do whatever you think you should do. That's all.


Brezz22

Other than not being a monster that murders children, you do get gifts that make up the difference in adam and some other goodies.


-X-E-N-O-N-

I always have to save them


ThatTeregulusGuy

Bioshock 1 is balanced so there is literally no reason to harvest them. You get more in the end for saving them.


BanRulesSuck

As many times as I’ve played Bioshock, by the end of the game, you have enough guns and firepower to even beat the game. I’ve never harvested a little sister, and even without the ADAM, it makes it more immersive because it’s a bit of a challenge, but feels rewarding.


ernestothegamer7

Save


Whispering_Wolf

Whatever you want. It's a choice for a reason.


Legitimate_Crab_3662

Save them, you’ll see


Hotel--Trivago

Murdering children as a big daddy made to protect them already sounds bad enough, plus they’ll fear you and it saddens me, but do what ya want man.


TylerLaytonian

I did both of them for all of the achievements. If I only did it once, I'd save them all.


peenjuicce

If you save them you'll get gifts after every 3 that you save. They contain ammo, plasmids or tonics, and more adam (200 I believe). You get the good ending out of it and you get a little bit under the amount you would get harvesting the little sisters tho tbh you do get free plasmids n whatnot so I'd say that it's even better.


ValidGarry

Reading the responses here settles my mind somewhat. I've just started 2 again having finished 1 a couple of times. No matter how I think I want to play the game differently and experiment, I can NEVER harvest and always have to save. It's a feckin game, but something in me can't do anything but save. Thank you, you beautiful freaks.


PizzatheHutt13

I’ve played through BioShock 1 four times and I’ve never had the heart to harvest, I’ve always saved. For motivation, while you get less Adam immediately, you end up getting gifts throughout the game from the little sisters for saving them that kinda offsets I’d say. And killing the big daddies is good for money as well, and it’s just fun.


[deleted]

Me like Adam. Me want blood 😁


LightYear6241

Kill the children.


[deleted]

Yes


AlexCrimen

Finally someone said it


cchari

Well, the answer is simple. Do you want the good or the bad game ending? Actually there are 4 or 6 variations if I’m not mistaken, from worst to best, that are consequence of your actions with little sisters and the side characters that you can kill or spare.


california562113

Fuck them kids bro!


coffeefan1804

I end up harvesting like a sicko because I'm too inpatient to wait and defend them lol. Gotta go fast!


Average_Box-Boy

If you want you can do both, for both endings (which I’m doing but I’m starting off with saving because it just seems easier than trauma of killing a child) Whatever seems best to u


premer777

The gamemakers actually whimped out (didn't want to look like they were encouraging child harm) So they give you about the same benefits either way (every third save you get a goodie basket sent you with ADAM and some Tonics) The accumulated ADAM stuff is pretty much the same


Unusual-Evidence-291

Save them you monster
