Can Gene Tonic category be seen before purchasing?
When browsing Gene Tonics on Gatherer's Garden the game doesn't display a tonic's category (classification), forcing the player to guess. BioShock has a limited number of slots available for each classification, starting from two.
Is there a way to find out a Gene Tonic's classification without opening BioShock Wikia (and being exposed to spoilers)?
