So like a lot of other players, I just finished it and felt that amazing feeling of being overwhelmed in the presence of greatness. As I started to dissect what I saw, I turned here to get what other people were thinking... So after reading through this thread, here are my questions:
1. Who is Elizabeth's Mom: So we know that Lady Comstock was not, and she even blamed Madame Letuce as being Comstock's mistress. Neither were her mom, and all we here is a conversation between Elizabeth and Booker where he reveals his wife was deceased. Given the events of the baptism being the crux of the two timelines, one birthing Comstock, the other turning Booker into a Private Investigator (did I read that door right, he's a PI?) I guess I'm kind of curious what the woman is like who married him given that he's basically going though a form of PTSD after Wounded Knee.
2. Where to from here? The script is masterful, but in a way limiting. While DLC and maybe even another title can explore the nuances of Columbia more, the infinite story lines in essence would seem to undercut any sense of urgency or seriousness a sequel might require. The reveal of the infinite is what makes this game have its heft. With that gone, well, what else is there? It seems like a dead end with the way it played out here, and its cyclical nature. Doctor Who makes it work by being open ended and about exploration more than anything. Someone mentioned earlier how the ending basically retcons the entire game. While I don't have a problem with that when it used effectively, which I feel it was here, but I think it doesn't bode well for future games in the franchise. Given the sales and reviews for this one, you know one will come eventually. Here's hoping it does the series proud.
I'd love to hear thoughts.
