10/10 ... but *(spoilers)


A question about the end credits, how come Booker is alive with his baby daughter?

The baptism happened before Booker had a child, so when Elizabeth(alternate versions) and Booker decided to erase Comshock existence by suicide Shouldn't she be born - let alone Booker have any memory of what happened.

Anyway this still is IMO the greatest FPS game I ever played.

Before Comstock, there were an infinite amount of Bookers where he still had Anna.

Just played the game again and found out that Booker isn't dead but drown to a point rather than baptised therefore he hasn't been a through a religous experience in order to become Comstock. This means Anne will not be sold to comstock and thus Elizabeth timeline get erazed. It still doesn't change the fact that Booker is still in huge debt and in depression caused by the war but learns his lesson which is to never ever sell your'e own daughter no matter what state your in.

Well if Booker/Comshock die and Anna/Elizabeth is never born. Then none of the events in the game can/do happen.
Which means that Booker/Comshock does not learn his fate and lives his life as "normal", which means Anna/Elizabeth is born and sold and events play out as the game shows.

Basically an INFINITE loop.

I took the end credit sequence to show Booker before selling Anna, everything just keeps looping.

I never got confirmation on whether Anna was born before or after the baptism. I mean, it makes no sense to me for the Comstock/Booker split to occur BEFORE Anna's birth, otherwise Comstock wouldn't need to steal her - in his reality she would have always existed. Seems like his wife's death in childbirth could have been the "rock bottom" that inspired Booker to consider baptism. If she was born before it, and the point where Booker branched off to a double-identity was completely destroyed, then Comstock would never be able to take Anna and Booker and Anna could have a "normal life."
