Are Columbian Vigors safe than Rapture's Plasmids and Drinkable Plasmids?
Surprisingly the answer may be “Yes.” But to know why there needs to be a quick examination of ADAM the material used to create Plasmids and Vigors. ADAM is a material created by a species of deep sea Slugs and when the slug is implanted in the stomach of a pre-pubescent female child the slug creates much more ADAM than it would under normal conditions. For most if not all of Rapture’s ADAM production children of the City of Rapture are used, but in Columbia Fink pays huge costs to make a large number of deep sea expeditions to recover the slugs and harvest them for ADAM.
For standard injectable Plasmids the main side effect the development of benign tumors in the person using Plasmids and Gene Tonics. These effects can be minimized and eve…

It looks like a generic lighthouse that someone just made up for the game. Thing is, it doesn’t seem to be, despite what a bunch of idiots online may think.

In other words he didn’t start off proclaiming himself to the Prophet and deifying the Founding Fathers. So let’s start off right after Booker accepts the baptism and changes his name to Zachary Hale Comstock. Now I once saw a criticism of the Comstock n…
