    Wait, question on Fort Frolic
    I noticed a lot of people talking about those plaster people attacking you from time to time.

    I literally never had that happen.

    I did notice that when you hit them with a wrentch that blood splatters.

    I remember going into some kind of bathroom near the atrium, but I was never attacked by anything.

    Glitched game? Or did I miss a lot of stuff?
    if i remember correctly they don't turn "alive" and run off and attack you later unless you go into a semi-secret room in some kinda bar place

    So, any hope of co-op being added in a patch like they did with system shock 2? That would be awesome. Forgive me if the question's been asked before.

    I would like to know this as well. My buddies and I are all going crazy for this game. We also want to play it together sometime.

    I'd gladly pay for it on the Xbox marketplace and everything. Do you hear me 2K? Take my money!

    Whoa! Just had an awesome glitch. Harvested a Little Sister, got 160 Adam...but after the Harvesting, she was still there with the options to Harvest or Rescue. So...I Harvested again. Another 160 Adam. And then...she was still there, with the options. I Harvested again. 160 additional Adam. This time she was gone though. Still only counted as one on the pause menu, too.

    Strange. That happened to me once in the pc version. I saved the girl twice, but I didn't get the extra adam.

    You guys were right. The mechanics of the fights, at least at the early moments, change a bit, from "back away a bit" to "RUN"

    I didn't find it that way. Normal got me accustomed to the controls, so I score headshots a lot more. I'm running around with more ammo and healthpacks than I did on Normal, at least up until Neptune's Bounty.

    That, and I'm using security bots, cameras, turrets, and BDs a lot more often to help in fights.

    Quick question about the medical pavilion: there's a code-locked door in the Dental area that can't be hacked. I double-checked all my journals and I don't get the code from them, can't remember if I got in the first time but it's the only unexplored area of my map this playthrough. Any tips on how to get in?

    I didn't get the LE, cause I was silly and forgot about it, but are the Moby tracks really that bad? Because quite frankly, I own like every Moby album released and am a pretty big fan. When I found out he was involved somehow, I got excited.

    I just want to know if it's worth my trouble hunting down the tracks.

    I'm still happy to have the LE, just for the 100% kickass Mr. B. figurine, but the EP is laughably bad. I actually lol'ed at how bad it was.

    The extras in the LE were lame. It boggles my mind why we got a shitty Bobby Darin remix instead of the real soundtrack. The behind the scenes DVD is cheaply-produced with absolutely no frills or flair. Pretty shitty all around.

    The Big Daddy figure was totally worth the ten bux, though.

    Until I saw your post, I totally forgot that the LE came with extra beyond the Big Daddy figure. Damn, I need to go check them out.

    Even without those extras, the Big Daddy alone makes the LE package the best I've probably ever had. That statue has some real heft to it, and looks outstanding. I have it sitting in my office, and everyone's been commenting on how cool it is, wishing they had one themselves.

    Plus, I added a little drink umbrella to it, so it looks like Big Daddy's at the beach or something. :lol:

    I'm pretty sure you have to look through the window next to the door and use telekenesis to grab the key, then have a spare pair of underwear on hand when you realise your mistake of going in that room.

    That's not the room, I got that one. This is just a door, with a 4-digit key code you need to press. No windows or anything to see inside

    So, losing health and losing control of my plasmids was a total bitch. I guess it was interesting in that it forced me to play a little more carefully and use some plasmids that I never bothered equipping before (Target Dummy in particular helped me sneak past a lot of nasty situations but Security Alert and Cyclone Trap I still didn't use much). Still, I much prefer that I've gone back to walking the earth as a demigod.

    I just completed the masterpiece and Cohen is letting me go on. He unlocked one of those glass cases in the lobby, is there any way to get at his most secret muse? He mentioned something about a TRUE disciple being able to look in there. Also.. even though he's not violent towards me, do I get a special reward if I kill him? Or should I just let him live?

    It's more annoying but also more fun to
    wait until you get to his apartment and kill him.

    Also
    good lord did the "irony" acheivement eat at me. All the secret ones were story related except one. When I heard it existed I tried everything ironic I could, killing myself with trap bolts, shocking myself in the "toaster in the tub" area... I finally looked it up and still feel a bit dirty. The Tonic Collecter achievement is annoying as well. You need to be good, and 2 of 53 tonics can only be purchased at the place you can first buy them at. Not that either of these is supposed to be easy, but man.
