One Tear leads them to a world where Booker has died and become a martyr for the Vox Populi, who are in the process of a violent revolt.
While Elizabeth uses her ability to manipulate Tears to aid in their journey, she grows disturbed by the physiological and psychological consequences of manipulating reality on Booker and the other citizens of Columbia. Fitzroy offers to return the airship if Booker recovers a shipment of weapons from the slums of Columbia.īooker rejoins Elizabeth and they venture deeper into the city. The 'Vox' are a rebel organization made up primarily of those of the working class, foreigners, and people of color, all of whom suffer in some way at the hands of Columbia's government and society. He awakes to find the airship under the control of Daisy Fitzroy, leader of the Vox Populi. When Booker directs the ship to New York City with the intention of delivering Elizabeth to the Luteces, she knocks him out and flees. The pair work towards the First Lady's Aerodrome, planning to take an airship to Paris, a city Elizabeth has always wanted to see. After freeing Elizabeth, her warden, the Songbird - a thirty-foot tall bird creature - attacks and destroys the tower, and Booker and Elizabeth narrowly escape with their lives. Inside it, he discovers a large device called the Siphon and the ability Elizabeth possesses which can open Tears, rips in the space-time continuum that lead to other parallel worlds. Booker, now a wanted man, fights his way to Monument Island where Elizabeth is held within a tower. This is a sign of the 'False Shepherd' which city leader and prophet, Zachary Comstock, prophesied would 'lead the lamb (Elizabeth) astray' and bring about Columbia's downfall. With instructions from the Luteces to " bring us the girl and wipe away the debt", DeWitt enters the structure which houses a rocket silo that transports him to the flying city of Columbia.īooker's presence in Columbia goes unnoticed until he is identified by the letters "AD" branded on his hand. In 1912, Booker DeWitt is taken by the mysterious Lutece Twins to an island lighthouse off the coast of Maine. Ġ9 October 2013 Storyline Main article: Columbia Storyline Flags, patriotic music, and propaganda posters promote the idea that Columbia is a 'haven' from the so-called 'unwanted' of the world, as the player progressively learns more about its society, inhabitants, and the darkness that lies within it. Here, the philosophical concept of "American Exceptionalism" is perverted into ultranationalism, religious fanaticism, and social Darwinism. Booker has been given the job of finding a mysterious and powerful woman imprisoned in Columbia since birth named Elizabeth in order to wipe his debts away, and the story follows the unlikely duo as they journey to escape the flying city while discovering its twisted secrets.įollowing in the footsteps of previous BioShock games, the world of Infinite explores the chaos that results when strong ideals are taken to an extreme.
BIOSHOCK INFINITE BOOKER SERIES
3.5 BioShock Infinite: Industrial RevolutionīioShock Infinite is the third game in the series and takes place in the airborne city of Columbia in 1912, where the player assumes the role of Booker DeWitt, a disgraced ex-Pinkerton agent.3.4 Retailer-Exclusive Pre-order Bonuses.3.3 BioShock Infinite: The Complete Edition.Of course, this is just me butchering quantum mechanics to fit a disjointed narrative, so take everything here with a cup of salt and don't take it as gospel. And the events of the game are still persistent in a remnant timeline, as Elizabeth's actions are necessary to maintain the existence of the Baptism waveform in the first place, so while they are out of continuity, they are merely "untethered" rather than erased completely, and may even only exist as observations from Booker and/or Elizabeth and cease to exist without them to observe them. The Comstock from Burial At Sea is likely from a timeline where Booker turned away from the Baptism initially but went back at a later time. But as the Player Booker didn't go through the baptism to begin with, the erasure of the timeline of his dealings with Comstock caused a reset in his own continuity, thereby having OUR Booker awaken in a new timeline, rather like Marty McFly dating a slightly different Jennifer and having a sudden aversion to being called Chicken.
By taking Booker back to the moment of his baptism, Elizabeth put him in a state of Quantum Flux, and collapsed the state by drowning him, and erasing the timelines that resulted in Comstock. It is either dead or alive, but until it is observed it is in a state of quantum superposition, neither alive nor dead.
