If you kill a little sister, can you take what she's got on her, and then run and hide from the big daddys? Or do you have to kill them or get something else to attack it, to get away?

ahhh i'd be saying that if u kill the little sister before the big daddy the big daddy would get uber mad and probably not stop rampaging on your ass until you put him down.
In the demo where you push the big daddy off the balcony with the wasps from your hand, and then the drill from the other big daddy comes through your chest, will that happen in the game?
the drill through the chest part that is...usually if a drill hits you in a game you sort of just flinch and lose health and theres no penitration =(
You kill her, taking her processed Adam for yourself. Now dealing with the Big Daddy is the million dollar combat question. From what I gather, it depends on the tools, weapons and plasmids you have, and the environment's advantages/disadvantages for using escape. There are irritant, decoy, rage and aggressive plasmids that can distract a Big Daddy from his protective purpose. You could instigate a fight between a resident splicer and the BD, then use that distraction to get the goods from the LS and lickitty split.Originally Posted by Hornet65
I would think that if a Big Daddy sees you scavenging the dead corpse of his little charge, that he'd rampage on your ass till you've effectively gone out of his range or presented an obstacle that blocks him, like a really big blast door.
hmph more like a vent that is just big enough for you to fit through
do big daddys get gene tonics? (or whatever they are called now)
dude how do you think they got like that, oh wait you mean plasmids i have no idea ,i doubt it
i mean there is no reason to have em with a bigass drill and rivet gun
what im kind of afraid about is how slow the BDs are, like i was tihnking you could just shoot the lil girl, run up and take the adam, then run away with out any dmg, (unless it a BD wit a gun) and you could completely outrun the BD so there is like no contest, unless it takes awhile to extract the adam or, if more come out of the blue when a LS is hurt, e.g. the BD lets out a warcry that alerts other BDs into the area. I think it would not be enough of a challenge
Getting the Adam from Little Sisters might be an arduous process, not easily done in the span of time it would take for a Big Daddy to rivet your skull. Perhaps you could kill the Little Sister with one shot, lead the Big Daddy away from the corpse, then sneak back and harvest the Adam. But maybe the Little Sisters have to be alive in order for the Adam to be removed.
I'm not sure if they need to be alive or not.Thats a very interesting point.
If you are planning on killing the LS(I'm not)it seems easy enough to take them down from afar,paticuarly with the crossbow,then lead the BD away,then perhaps teleport back to claim your spoils.its risky.as I'm sure the BD will be all over your arse like white on rice-Run away!
also, how would u get the Adam out of the little girl? from the videos out there it seems she uses a hugearse needle and digests it and whatnot...so maybe u need one of those said huge needles.
another dilema, would u really want to needle a little girl and drain her blood?
That's what we've been told. Certainly you cannot kill the Little Sisters in one shot, as that would kill the game's balance. Maybe very few shots on the lowest difficulty. The videos we've been witness to so far don't really showcase how much of a bullet shield a Big Daddy is for a Little Sister, but the stance he takes makes me think he can read the player like a book, possibly calling our bluff even before we pull the trigger. Big Daddy's come off as a "know thine enemy" type.
Actually I disagree,in the walkthrough video,when using the splicer irritant in the mall area by the record store,The splicer attacks the BD and the little sister is killed almost immediately by its projectile,which suggests they have very few HP and very easy to kill.But surely it can't be that simple to obtain Adam?
More and more I'm thinking the little sis has to be alive to be harvested,which makes the entire scenerio all the more disturbing.
More disturbing, yes - but way cooler. If the LS has to be alive, then that means you HAVE to take out the BD no matter what. If you kill the LS in the process, not only do you lose out on the Adam, but also on all the ammo it took to kill the BD in the first place.
This would also mean that you would have to be a lot more careful in how you handle battle scenarios with the BD's. If you engineer a battle between a BD and a splicer, you might end up having to protect the LS yourself! (either altruistically, or selfishly)
It would be a bit like "capture the flag - intact"
Much of what you speculate here -- but not all -- is correct. I could tell you which parts were which, but then they'd have to kill me...

Being a 'Harverster', LS surely is not the end destination for Adam/Eve. Something gotta fuel the BDs too. LS apparently is able to give up the harvested substance, and does so on a regular basis from where it is redistributed.
Here's a theory: LS must be persuaded to cooperate, through intimidation or otherwise. Once cooperative: three choices present themselves:
1. Take her payload, then let her go.
This way LS remains a harvester and potential source, but henseforth remembers you. Next time she spots you around, she tells the nearby BD to attack. Good luck getting another drop on her and her protector(s)
2. Take her payload, then kill her.
Eliminating the witness. You retain safe passage in the area, but will not be getting any stuff here. But then, your chances getting it are severely diminished anyway if LS is on alert about you.
3. 'Cure' her, which decreases the payload gained.
Dubious choice. Remove her only avenue of survival and cut her loose. Far as BDs and Adam are concerned, she is effectively dead. It is hard to believe someone or something in this battleground for survival has the will or ability to indefinitely take care of now useless 'cured' sisters.
Perhaps Tennerbaum will take care of them.Leeches:
ahhh savour the moment this post will soon be deletedPerhaps Tennerbaum will take care of them.Leeches:
awwww but the leech is just giving that persons toe a BIG KISS
v.dog is closer to the truth than he may have realized...

you could probably start a fight between a...splicer maybe and the BD. You could probably freeze the BD then deal with the splicer. Then, since technically the BD is still alive, the LS would still stay by it, and you could approach it and try some experiments to extract some Adam.
