That means it can give you little pieces of these puzzles in more interesting ways, and hoovering them up into a wonky jigsaw is a joy. In cheerful contrast to the original BioShock's deep-sea madhouse, the flying city of Columbia is still thriving, still beautiful, and still populated – albeit with magical racists. But I played more like a crazed amnesiac looter, scouring the city for spare change and story clues.
TL DR: Tonics are genetic alterations of the body, farmed from people who have them, some are more rare than others and tonics only give a fraction of the true power of tonics.Įdit: Grammar Nazis attacked, a defense was mounted, problem solved.The intro says you're Booker DeWitt, a private investigator tasked with retrieving a girl named Elizabeth. Therefore, Booker is literally drinking the blood/spinal fluid in the form of tonics that came from previous users of the power who had extreme amounts of that power, whereas Booker can only get a taste of what the power is. On the other hand, the tonics that show up less are recessive traits within the society, meaning they're much more rare and can't be farmed up as much, explaining why they are not sold to the public, but may even be locked up. Crowmen and Firemen are dominant traits, including all the other tonics that can be found all around in large amounts (for example, possession). You see, it's infused into their system and the only way to obtain it is through removing their spinal fluid or whatever gives them their power, killing them. This genetic change either a) originates from the technology within the universe and these people wanted to be infused with one power without the ability to use any others (anymore in their system would most likely kill them/deform them to the point that the powers would be no use) or (my personal preference) b) in this universe, due to the tears in the fabric of reality, evolution fucked up/increased at an exceptionally rapid pace leading to certain members of society having these powers and others not.īut now you're asking, Ninth, why aren't there more people who have these powers then? Well good sir, that's due to the fact that people are turned into cattle to farm these abilities. This is also why Slate, after he uses the shock jockey can't do anything more than what Booker can with it either. Those powers they have are part of their genetic system, most likely within the nervous system, a sort of splicing of their spinal fluid. The Firemen and Crowmen seem to be infused with the tonics as if it's part of them, which draws me to the conclusion that they are. From this, it can be inferred that Booker only has a semblance of power from the tonics as compared to others in the game. Let me explain īooker drinks these tonics and must use salts to constantly reinvigorate himself as compared to these Firemen and Crowmen who seem to have unlimited use/control of their powers. So, from what OP is asking, I'm guessing he actually means using tonics in the same way Booker uses tonics, contrary to Firemen or Crowmen.
