    The Spoiler Thread

    I was thinking, people keep repeating over and over again what they know about the game as more people join the forum, so I thought we could just start a spoiler/info thread for new members to go, kind of like a very long FAQ only addressing one universal question. I'll post something if it catches on, I like to rant but I don't want to look stupid being the only one. So anyone who has a spine unlike me spill your guts and let's see what you know.

    The wrench is a cliche. Just like the Half Life crowbar, deal with it! (ok... maybe that isn't a spoiler or a frequently asked question... Ill try again)

    This takes place after a plain crash in the northern part of the mid atlantic ocean. you swim to find a lighthouse with a bathysphere (underwater elevator or lift if you will) and find a messed up place known as Rapture founded by an uber capatalist visionary named Andrew Ryan.

    Well, since there was a video deleted, I will share all that I learned here.

    The video showed part of the bathyspeher ride down to Rapture. The tape had already burned, so you didn't hear from Ryan.

    It was Atlas talking to some guy about how they had just witnessed an explosion topside, and it appeared to be a plane. They were wondering if there were any survivors. Atlas told this guy to take a radio and head down to see if there is anything going on in the city.

    It is highly likely that this is the guy that you witness being evicerated by a Splicer. It is also highly likely that this is how you get your radio.

    Don't forget to include "Film" for the camera, in your ammo list.

    You have to find and take down three Big Daddies in each main area of Rapture. Other than that, all I know is that the choices you make will affect the game. If you harvest all the Little Sisters, you become really powerful, but if you save all of them then you get a special gift from Tenenbaum later in the game. Also, if you save all of the Little Sisters, you'll see them and Tenenbaum later in the game. Tenenbaum wants them to become real girls and Atls wants you to rescue his family. Here's an interesting theory I cooked up though. Atlas apparently wants you to harvest all of the Little Sisters so you can become incredibly powerful and have a great chance at rescuing his family. However, I think his true intentions might be to claim all of the Adam and become a god. He probably stayed within Rapture and got a great deal of Adam, but decided to get your character to get the rest for him. Basically, he lies about his family being down in Rapture, trapped, and intends to let you get the rest of the Adam and then leads you to his 'family', which turns out to be him. Then Atlas, really powerful due to the already acquired Adam, tries to kill you so he can harvest you for the rest of the existing Adam and become a god.

    However, this theory could be wrong, so I have a few questions.

    1. What's the 'gift' you can obtain by rescuing all the Little Sisters?

    2. If my theory is false, then what trapped Atlas' family down in Rapture when the Big Daddies solely protect the Little Sisters and the Splicers are insane and wouldn't bother teaming up to attack anyone?

    When you say "AP" for the Revolver and the Tommy Gun, are you referring to Armor-Piercing, or Anti-Personel? There are both in the game, right?

    Well, according to an article on Wiki I just read, it seems that the revolver can fire both anti-personel and armor peircing rounds, so I'm guessing that both types of ammunition are in the game.
