Hmm... This is something I've been wondering about for a while, since this game is underwater, and there are always powerful forces at hand (plasmids/guns/me), what happens if I shoot a window? If it was a single shot from like a pistol it would be cool to see water trickle out, but what about a grenade? It would get rid of all of the splicers and AI in rapture... useful.
Except you would die also... so maybe not as much. :mad:

Question Numero Dos
Also, since this is a First Person Shooter the only part you can see of yourselves is your arms. Because of that perspective, sometimes the arms seem quite two dimentional. That is all good, but what about when the arms interact with the enviornment? What about when a curtain of water is comming down from the ceiling? Will the water effects be shown there?

Are there remembering effects? As in will AI treat you different if you happened to be nicer or meaner to certain AI? If so I hope Irrational does it well... I've played way to many games where I would try to be good, but because I do some small thing wrong I am immediatly noted as evil... o.O

Oh yeah, something else that has been bugging me. How exactly to you use the plasmids? I mean there are ones that you use the saringe but in the "Hunting the Big Daddy" video you hold this yellow basball looking thing that you squeeze (im not sure why) and throw it. Is that a plasmid? In the E3 demo (aka Demo 1) when you throw the Splicer irritant it doesn't have a phisical shape. Just red stuff. It isn't pixey dust is it? Also, what is EVE? What does it do? What is the difference between EVE and EVE-HYPO? Eve-HYPO is in the first singleplayer demo but you only see it for a short time (as if it isn't supposed to be shown, but Joe wasn't quick enough!)

Last question (for now) does the mane charactor have a name? I think I read it in a PC gamer magazine over a half a year ago.

I'll think of more questions to bother you people with later.... :p
Although I belive at least some of these will not be answered because they don't want to reveal that information just yet.

I update these questions reletivly often, so you could check back for more later incase you feel like further imparting your wisdom!

No, that would be a pretty bad feature to implement

I want this too, as it would make sense in the context of this game

The ball in "Hunting the Big Daddy" is the splicer irritant, it got changed from what it was in E3
I would imagine that the plasmids function more or less like using a traditional weapon, you switch to them and then fire them off; the syringe that you are talking about is from a pre-rendered movie, and is most likely just for dramatic effect
An EVE hypo just replenishes your EVE reserves, which is the equivalent of mana; it is used for active plasmids (EVE doesn't regenerate)

Last question (for now) does the mane charactor have a name? I think I read it in a PC gamer magazine over a half a year ago.
he most likely will have a name, but i dont think it has been released yet

his name...is Robert Paulsen.

EDIT: Better state that this a Fight Club reference joke just in case...

the squeezy squishy plasmid is straight out of the black mesa labs!-a homage perhaps?

I think you're thinking of the bugbait from HL2. I don't recall anything like it in the BMRF.

On #2: This is a very good question to which I'd love to hear the answer. Similar is the question on picking things up: Will we use our hands (ala Crysis & Tresspasser) or our latent psychokinetic abilities (http://www.hlcomic.com/index.php?date=2005-05-10)?
