Oh you mean Krieg.

And since I forgot to reply; thanks to Kronner and Luxorek for the tips for 1999 mode. Will keep them in mind for my second playthrough.

Finished the game a few days ago and am chiming in now. Loved the game, Elizabeth is definitely very, very awesome. The ending really depressed me for a long time afterwards after I understood what it meant. Anyone else feel the same?

People understand different things from the ending.

Not me. It was a happy ending because after the credits you see a third timeline Booker going to check on Anna. No baptism choice to be made, so they'll get to live their lives as father and daughter without ever dealing with Comstock or Columbia.

Of course, whether or not Anna was there is up to you. I choose to believe she was there. Makes it feel like everything was worth it.

There's also another interpretation. That Booker's back in a timeline where he's already sold Anna to Comstock and in his drunken stupor tortures himself checking the baby's crib from time to time.

Thats the thing, its whatever you want it to be. I choose happy happy feel goods because too many games these days are lacking happy endings.

In the original version, the ending to ME3 was pretty much whatever you wanted it to be.

I actually did think that Anna wasn't there at the epilogue and Booker had lost her somehow in the new timeline created where the only outcome was baptism refusal, especially after he said 'Anna, is that you?' in a very unsure fashion, which is why I found it quite depressing when I first saw that scene knowing that she could have never been there. However after reading about other people's interpretations of the ending I now think (as well as others who have the same idea) that it could be our Booker from the game, who somehow retained his memory of the game's events,which would explain that reaction and would use that knowledge to be a better father to Anna in a timeline where Anna is safe from the threat of Comstock and then she grows up to have a happy life, which does make me feel a lot better.

[LPPrince]

There we go. See? Happy times.

[OdanUrr]

One of the many things that don't add up is Booker's recollection of Anna. After you rescue Elizabeth, a semi-conscious Booker will call out Anna's name. That's fine, I'm thinking it's his unconscious mind that still recalls everything that's happened. However, in a later scene when you're in the tram and Elizabeth questions Booker about that, he responds, "I don't want to talk about that." This tells me that he knows a person with that name and that he's ashamed of something, suggesting he remembers baby Anna.

Thoughts?

That's a wrong interpretation. Comstock is gone, therefore no debt is incurred, therefore no Anna is sold. That interpretation really makes no sense given the previous events.

[LPPrince]

I imagine Anna will grow up to be a lot like how she was as Elizabeth. Maybe not exactly(no lock picking skills, or reading about physics and such), but I mean temperament and such.

After completing the game on normal, I'm trying out 1999 mode now. My god, it's near impossible to get accurate shots with the joystick.

[LPPrince]

Interested to know how 1999 mode goes for you.

Ending kind of reminds me of the daywatch/nigh****ch movies.

Hahahaha at Bioware's filters

[Brockololly]

The sound effect when you do a melee execution with the skyhook is GLORIOUS. Its like an evil dentist's drill or something.

I love this game.

Wrong interpretation you say? If it's a wrong interpretation, then it means there's a right one. And if there's a right answer, then there is no interpretation. As it stands, the post-credits scene is pretty vague and it's left entirely up to the player to fill in the blanks of what might've happened. If, for instance, the post-credits scene took place the day after Booker had sold Anna and we were shown Anna was still in her crib, then I'd say it's more than likely that the writers intended for us to interpret that the circle had been broken. Because that's basically what it amounts to, has the circle finally been broken?

You say my interpretation makes no sense given the previous events but I beg to differ. If anything, BioShock Infinite tells us that this is not the first time Booker has tried to save Elizabeth, that this loop has repeated itself hundreds of times and nothing has changed. Isn't it possible then that other Elizabeths might have gotten to the point where they drown Booker at his baptism only for the circle to repeat itself? I don't know if I've said it already but there is a paradox to consider here. After all, if Anna had never been kidnapped by Comstock, she would never have gained the powers that enabled her to drown Booker in the first place (I'm talking about an inter-dimensional paradox here). So, currently, my interpretation is that the circle remains, in fact, unbroken (and I'm trying hard not to think about its dubious use of multiverse theory).

So... "t w a t" is a censored word in these parts. Even when its a part of a word that has no connection to it whatsoever. Waa...

This forum, man.

[Giga Drill BREAKER]

I like to think that Booker retained his memory and Anna is in the crib.

But yes Bioshock Infinite really does have a bittersweet ending, you see Bioware that is how you do BITTERSWEET.

 Oh, I would love to see the crew of Normandy do to Shepard at the end the same thing that Elizabeth did to Booker. Imagine the outrage, haha. "Shepard, it's for your own good ! You are indoctrinated." 

Anyway. Everything Bioshock Infinite Gets Wrong. Good watch.
