Yeah I kinda agree with that.

I salute your unpopular opinion , prepare to be hated on. When they came out I talked about Uncharted 3 and Bioshock Infinite openly and got bombarded on here, I still think the writing is all over the place for both of those games and the "shooter" aspect of Infinite is crap and really needed to tone down "oh hey I got to save this girl GOTTA KILL EVERYONE IN THIS TOWN I'M SO FUCKING SCARED!!" "your mom is a ghost ? FUCK HER!" "Your dad is comestock? FUCK HIM!" "you are trying to start a revolution? FUCK YOU!" "why is everyone trying to kill me while I massacre everyone?" its the same issue I had with Dishonored. this picture sums up Uncharted 3 , Dishonored, Bioshock and Tomb Raider you either go full action game or a good scripted game, there is no middle ground because it would just ruin things, If they made infinite not related to bioshock and made it a point and click game for example it would be better. |
I don't remember a single moment when Booker says he is innocent. He was a mercenary and that is explained when you go to the hall of heroes., he killed a lot people before the events of infinite.

FOR ANYONE THAT HASN'T PLAYED THE GAME, DON'T READ THESE STUFF. GO PLAY THE GAME. IT'S VERY GOOD IMO.
Soooo... Booker is actuallly Comstock right? and Anna is Elizabeth... who is that guy in the begining of the game? The dead one in the lighthouse. He sold his daughter to Lutece? why? was Lutece the one he owed mony to? And then what happened. Comstock from another dimension took Anna to his dimension? Why? had he sold Anna as well and wanted her back? Maybe he trapped her into the tower to not loose her again.Or was it actually to fulfil his expectations? Wtf were the Luteces exactly? Just scientists? Why were they appearing again and again throughout the game?
Anyway, share your thoughts with me.Cause I'm a bit confused. |
If anyone reads this and I'm wrong, please correct me, a beat this almost a year ago, so it's not all that fresh on my brain. Yes, Booker is Comstock, kind of. They're two different versions of the same person. Comstock and Booker diverged after the battle of wounder knee (may be the wrong battle), and Booker chooses to get baptised. In one reality, Booker runs from the baptism and remains Booker. In the other, accepts the baptism and becomes Comstock. Anna and Elizabeth are actually the same person, not divergent people.
Now I'm going to the Luteces, because nothing else will make sense if I don't explain this. So the luteces aren't actually brother and sister. They're the exact same person, and their only difference is one has an x chromosome and the other has a y chromosome. They were born in different dimensions. They both became physicists. The girl Lutece discover how to jump between dimensions a few years before her "brother" would have. She discovered her "brother" in another dimension and contacted him. Eventually they met Comstock. Comstock used their technology to creat Columbia. All of Comstock's work around these device made him sterile. He knew of his "daughter" (Anna renamed Elizabeth) in Booker's dimension and had the Lutece's buy Anna from Booker. Booker went back on his decision, which is why he stole Anna instead. The Luteces regretted their decision, so they are trying to help you get Anna back. An interesting thing that you probably didn't notice in the game. When they ask you to pick heads or tales, and the brother has the chalkboard on him. All of the markings represent every time Booker has gotten that far. So it is thought that the Luteces have done this 90+ times with 90+ Bookers who have died. This aldo adds another interesting idea, where each time you die in the game could almost be thought of as one of the times Booker fails.
Now to answer your last question. The Luteces appear everywhere because they jumped between so many dimensions, and they became seperated between them. Remember all of the people that were in a state of being alive and dead? Same idea. Basically, you're seeing a shadow of what they once were throughout the game.
