SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have too understand the way different reality and timeline works.
Each lighthouse represents a different reality, there are different versions of Booker and Elizabeth presented in the each reality.
After the Wounded Knee massacre, Booker starts drinking and gambling since he can't ignore the pain. So he decides to go through the baptism. Here is where it gets complicated, new timelines appear:
- Booker accepts the baptism, is cleansed from all sins and becomes the different person known as Comstock
- Booker refuses the baptism, since he knows it won't make any difference and remains the same person.
(those are not the only versions of Booker, those 2 are just explained the most, for example you also see how Booker is leader of Vox Populi rebbelion who is fighting against Comstock in one of many timelines)
We play Booker DeWitt who refused the baptism and sold his child to Comstock (due to gambling debts)
Since Comstock can't have children, he figured out how different timeline works and decided to take child
(Anna / Elizabeth) from the Booker so he could make her the next "Prophet" ( one of the timelines where you see, old Elizabeth and her fleet destroying New York)
When Booker figures out there are "infinite" number of timelines he decides to go back in the past, so he could prevent Comstock to ever be born and stop his religious bull****.
Except that he doesn't know that Comstock is actually the same person he is until the very end, that's the reason why he allows Elizabeths to drown him.
Remember every time you were unconscious, you recieved flashbacks how "The Twins" are knocking on your door in the office? And asking to give them your child, while Elizabeth also appears along with them.
The final scene is basically the same but there is no knock on the door and Elizabeth is also not present.
All you hear is Booker's daughter crying. Which means that he stopped Comstock. The only question that remains...Does Booker remember anything before that? Because if he doesn't then the whole plot was pointless.
But considering, he immediately checks on Anna after he wakes up + you can also hear how nervous and worried he is when he enters the room and calls her name, makes me think he does remember everything.
I know it sounds crazy but that's the ending. Which is IMO very well made.
