Target a corpse, pick it up with TK, it'll fly over to you... loot it while holding it in midair.
It's fun!
Beeesssssssssssssssssssssss
^ agreed: bees
FIRE!!! LIGHTNING! ICE! WIND! BEES!!!!!!!
Holy cupcakes.. we put pretty much all the elements into plasmids.
I just now noticed that. The only thing left is like.. shadows or dark or whatever..
i'm affraid a plasmid like that would be a little too fantasy
Yeah.. I'll never except a dark plasmid.. we'll just keep the element thing on the lighter side
the GI said something about combining plasmids. that could make some awesome compinations!
imagine sonic boom with incinerate! that would be like the shotgun blast from hell
Sort of sounds like a, "ALL YOUR POWERS COMBINED, I AM: CAPTAIN PLASMID!' kind of idea.
But yeah, I never realized just how helpful shootan' bees is until you're swarmed by splicers. So, I'd say shootan' bees is my favourite (...and TK.... and Electrobolt)
I don't see why there couldn't be a plasmid that creates shadows or darkness or something. There's the Natural Camoflauge tonic that turns you invisible, after all... drop a field of shadow on a group of enemies to cause them to panic and start shooting wildly at the slightest sound? It'd combine well with the Wrench Lurker tonic, so you can move silently while they're all panicking, and club them since they can't see you.
that would b unrealistic though. all of the other plasmids are physical things, like ice, fire, bees, and so on. shadow isn't a physical thing, it's a lack of light, and unless u shoot shadow from ur hands, which would b dumb, i don't c how u could use it. and a plasmid where u shoot slime or something to blind them would have the same effect, and be realistic. or even a smoke screen or something.
Honestly, even with genetic engineering, I don't see how spawning bees from your arm is realistic.
If you need a realistic basis for it, then, perhaps it's not creating shadow, but rather siphoning off the energy that's creating the light in the area - the electricity from the lights, or even the heat from a fire?
spawning bees from ur arm can be explained:
u inject urself with thousands of genetically engineered larvae witch grow extremely fast when they touch ur blood, blasting out of ur skin. and because they were born from u, they consider u their queen bee, and will attack any potential danger near u
and u could just cut the power or blow out the fire with pliers or a wind plasmid
Assuming the wires aren't in the walls or some such. ::shrugs:: It was just a thought. I've seen plenty of games and sci-fi settings with shadow-type psionic powers.
The freeze plasmid. For some reason, freezing splicers and then smashing them with a wrench never gets old.
I only used that when my plasmids were in flux... I don't like not being able to loot. But on my second play-through I'm wrenching, so I'll probably use Frozen Field when I get it.
Not being able to pick up stuff sucks. But if you want to get rid of someone quickly, it's one of the best ways to go.
Talking about the insect swarm, it's pretty effective, but what I don't like is that it attacks everyone close by. That includes the Big Daddies I don't need to mess with.
frozen field's awesome. i love all of the tonics that help the wrench
Im gonna have to go with telekinesis cause you can burn them with the tanks or just smack them with another splicer
lol yeah that's always fun ^_^
although it's not the coolest looking, i have to say that telekinesis would probably b the most useful in real life- not to mention it's one of the only ones that doesn't screw up ur skin...
It's a tie between Enrage and Incinerate.
Telekenises definitely makes fighting the Rosies easier. Fire their own rivets back at them. "There! HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?!"
You can do that?!
My bad. I was talking about those green mines they shoot at you, throw em back at em.

I would have to say either the Blizzard plasmid.
Telekinesis, nothing like using a corpse as a bullet shield then hurling it at 50mph.
Either the Blizzard plasmid, or...? This response confuses me. Anyway its called Winter Blast.
For me, Electric and Incinerate =)
I favor the freezy plasmid because when u use it on bots, cameras, and turrets it slows the hack flow unlike electrobolt. its my first plasmid slot always.
And u guyz is just haters on insect swarm! i love it! i used it on fontaine himself at the end of the game and i tell u what....he don't like it very much.
Hmmm Tele. for me I just find it so funny when you throw somthing like a rock, or one of the splicers masks at them and they kinda fall back and are like WTF!
Thing is, I didn't need any plasmids for Fontaine. I just unloaded my grenade launcher into him - 3 rounds for each of his forms and he goes down quick (use Heat-Seekers for one, since you only have 6 grenades).I favor the freezy plasmid because when u use it on bots, cameras, and turrets it slows the hack flow unlike electrobolt. its my first plasmid slot always.

Insect swarm!!! dont know why people dont find it effective, I find insect swarm 2 quite efficient let alone 3, guess people just have different standards for different plasmids.
Lol i know not to mention the damage a corpse inflicts on splicers!
***CORPSES DON'T WORK GOOD ON BIG DADDIES THO. I HAVE TRIED AND FAILED.***
My favorite would have to be Tele as well. Hey Creehaa try shooting prox mines on an explosive tank (number of mines depends of difficulty) and tele throw it at a BD. See if that hurts him a bit
My favourites probably enrage. So enjoyable watching splicers fight it out with a big daddy and it can also get you out of some tight spots. Sonic boom is also great to use. I like all the plasmids really, though i haven't used much cyclone trap. I figure that sonic boom does the "blowin' 'em 30 feet through the air job" pretty well.
Very true...also a full tank of Electric Gel will take him down (and keep him from moving) 1 of the 3 times, allowing you to conserve your grenades for either the first or last two encounters.
I have personally grown to love the Security Plasmid. I never really used it until I was leaving Point Prometheus for the Proving Grounds. I saw a Big Daddy on my way out and tagged him with it (since it doesnt count as an attack) while he passed a camera and watched a never ending flood of security bots rain bullets on him. It didnt take them very long to finish him off either, and it uses very little EVE.
I need to use that. I played the entire game without even equipping it...
But then there's so much to choose from that one could play through using a different plasmid/tonic set every time!
