Q. Why do you play on Easy?
A. There are 2 reasons behind the difficulty selection. This run doesn't really revolve around combat, it's more about pulling off tricks/glitches so it's better to not worry about picking up extra ammo/supplies to deal with meaningless fights. There is also a small trick in Apollo Square that lets you skip the elevator, on normal/hard the fall will simply kill you.

Q. How many Big Daddies do you kill/Do you save or harvest Little Sisters/How much ADAM is gathered?
A. I kill 3 Big Daddies throughout the run but those are all required to progress the game. I do not interact with any little sisters and I collect no ADAM, as I don't need to buy any plasmids/tonics.

Q. What plasmids/tonics do you use?
A. I pick up 3 plasmids: ElectroBolt, Incinerate, and Telekinesis. I also pick up the Damage Research tonic.

Q. Why do you keep going to the menu/what is diary skipping?
A. Anytime a radio message is playing (npc dialogue), you can simply skip that message by playing an audio diary overtop of it. This also allows you to leave an area instantly instead of waiting for a string of radio messages to play out.

Q. Why do you keep dying?
A. I'm doing what is known as death warping, meaning that I die in order to respawn at a certain area that makes for faster travel then walking. In some circumstances, it actually skips certain parts of the game.

Q. How are you firing your weapons so quickly?
A. When using the shotgun, grenade launcher or the crossbow, you can switch to your plasmids and back in order to skip the downtime in between shots. You can't skip the actual reload however.

Q. Why do you get outside the Bathysphere at the beginning of the game?
A. It saves 2 seconds if done correctly, but it's mainly used to look around rapture in a way that wasn't intended. Random fish!

Q. Why is the magic table of flight(MTOF) different from any other table?
A. Most items in the game are not actually solid when held with telekinesis, but the MTOF is actually solid when held. This is because the splicer threw the table at you, so the game changes the properties to be solid in order for it to be able to do damage to you. There is also a chair in Farmer's Market that has similar properties.
