Big Daddy respawns- a question

[Unicorn]

Hi there,

This is more of a general playstyle question than an issue. Also I'm only up to Arcadia so no spoilers please :)

I've noticed that when you kill a Big Daddy, you can wait around for a while and one will respawn, and if there are Little Sisters left in the stage it will go to a vent and get one out, and you can then get ADAM from this Sister. A good example is in Neptune's Bounty near the entrance to Fontaine Fisheries. Is this the way that you are "supposed" to find all the Little Sisters, or are you supposed to keep going after you kill one and find another new one with a Sister? I'm just thinking it seems like a waste to have it so easy to find all the Little Sisters in a level (but good if you like using Hypnotise Big Daddy I suppose).

I think you can do it either way really, or not at all as it isn't actually mandatory. But I must say that even though I was scared s**tless on my first Big Daddy encounter, they became soon my fave thing. Like if you get all the little sisters and wait for respawn. The new Big Daddy will try to fetch new sister out of the vent, hitting it hard and then dissapointedly leave :D and also making two big daddies fight each other is pure awesomeness.

Interesting! Yes, I found them scary too at first but I didn't realise they wouldn't attack me on sight. I spent ages hiding from them to take them down before I realised ahaha. Now I like running up to them and snapping shots on the Research Camera. I'm also very easily spooked by this game so Hypnotising one and making it my travelling companion is fun too :)

Once you've gotten all the sisters for a level the big daddies just roam around and are harmless. For me i just go through the level and if i hear a big daddy i track it down, otherwise i don't purposely wait around for them.
