So just finished the game.... wut. Quite a horrible ending to say the least, yes my mind was blown but that's due to how confusing the ending was. I was literally gaping as I saw Booker get killed by Elizabeths. Really? Here I was saving her and she drowns me. How this game got great scores is beyond me (alright, every other part of the game was good but the ending is also important on such a story-based game). Where's the satisfying conclusion? I don't get why I couldn't just have a good nice battle with Comstock and whoop his ass and live with Elizabeth happily ever after. Reminds me of the game Limbo which also had a mediocre ending.
This game is also pretty bad at explaining things. I read almost every single diary thing and always looked around the levels but still have no clue on:
There are probably more questions but it's 6 am here and I need to get some sleep. Stayed up all night to finish the game and was dissapointed.
1. Who the hell are those 2 people?
Scientists who made Columbia possible.
2. What is the debt that he was trying to pay off?
Gambling debt.
3. What is the bird's purpose?
Protect Elisabeth
4. Who made the bird?
Fink, after seeing mechanical creatures from other tears (probably Big Daddys)
5. Why can she open tears?
Because she is in two universes at the same time (pinky in one, herself in another)
6. Is his debt paid off now?
Probably, yes. Doesn't matter.
6.2 Did I just give young Elizabeth to the debt collector?
No. You gave her for money to settle your debts.
7. How did the debt collector end up in that room?
?
8. Who is the debt collector?
Do you mean Comstock?
9. When did Comstock become the prophet?
In 1893 or something. It's explained in the small films.
10. When was Columbia built?
In 1893 or something. It's explained in the small films.
11. Who built Columbia (I think it was some guy who knew quantum physics)?
The Letuces
12. Why did Comstock want Elizabeth?
Because he needed a heiress for his empire.
13. What happened to Comstock's wife?
She was killed by Comstock in a fit of rage.
13.2. Why did that happen to her?
See above
14. Since Comstock received the child, does that mean that Elizabeth is not her daughter?
?
14.2 Then whose daughter is she?
She is Anna, daughter of Booker and his dead wife.
15. How did I become Comstock?
Booker became Comstock in another universe, where he let himself be baptized (born again)
16. Why did I become Comstock?
Because religion.
17. What did the baptism have to do with this?
It's a sign of rebirth. It makes Booker become super religious (Comstock). In universes where he does not choose to be baptized, he is more a less a normal drunkard.
18. Does this baptism have anything to do with the baptism you got at the begging of the game?
No, it's just a bookend.
19. Who is Anna? Is she also Elizabeth?
Yes.
