That's what happens when you're in a city full of religious zealots and they all of a sudden realize you're their satan.

My big general question is, how does Anna/Elizabeth exist even without her variables, if Booker/Comstock drowns after Wounded Knee? Would that mean he never had her?

How do you drown your own dad?

When they realized they had to kill Comstock when he was born, they went to the baptism because that is when Comstock came into existence as Booker ceased to exist (in all realities where booker went through with the baptism). By being killed there he prevented Comstock from existing and allowing the Booker who didn't get baptized to continue to exist (meaning he has Elizabeth but didn't sell her)

So, it doesn't kill all the realities just one where he enters the water? I'll accept that.

Also, this mean his bloodline could eventually lead to jack and Ryan.

Yeah its kind of hazy on that, but all realities where Booker becomes Comstock are stopped. All of the Elizabeths disappearing except one seems to hint at something.

Also there have to be realities where he doesn't do his thang at wounded knee.

IDK i am a little less depressed thinking that booker gets to live with anna in the realities that are left.

After the credits there is the scene where Booker walks back into the room with the baby crib asking for Anna. He asks "Anna, is that you?" Although the screen blacks out before you can see if the baby is in the crib, it kinda implies that's she is there and hasn't been given away.

the only booker that died is the one that gets baptised... so the one that turns into comstock. the booker that doesn't get baptised still gets the kid, but i mean if he lost her to gambling debts whats a good alternative for her lol

Haha! So true. It's a lose - lose situation for ol' Anna/Elizabeth. In one timeline, she is the daughter of a religious crazy who considered himself a prophet, believes in white supremacy, and basically locks her up in a cage to be studied, experimented with, and guarded by a giant bird. Eventually she will be brainwashed into being his successor.

On the other hand, she is the daughter of an alcoholic, gambling fanatic who becomes so massively in debt that he would be willing to give her up outright to clear his debts should anyone, including strangers, ask him to.

All of the Elizabeths disappear. The game leaves it ambiguous, but the Liz you know and love ceases to exist. Only Anna remains.

We understand that. Just saying that regardless of how the game wouldve ended, Anna/Elizabeth is in a no win situation no matter which split in the timeline was wiped out.

Depends on how you decide to look at it, I guess. It can be seen as a happy ending; however, Booker could be doomed to make the same mistakes again.

wow the only game I have done this with recently is Dishonored.


What is significant with "The Bee" in this game since it comes up a few times, also there is the girl on the Vox that wants to meet Elizabeth and here mom thinks her readings are not lady like, but you never hear of her again.

not that i disliked it, because it was really cool; i shouldve clarified that i didn't like the overload all of a sudden. like we get glimpses of tears and shite then boom multiverse and quantum mechanics? come on. the average person that got it to play a shooter will not get that

i would of liked to see them extend the end a little more.

they could of easily made the game atleast 15-20 hours gameplay.

so much stuff at the end that they could of done a lot with.

I just want to see some reaction videos from some slow folks who are fricking livid because they can't understand the last 1/3 of the game.
