Dewitt and Comstock are just two version of the same man, existing in different universes. In this reality, Booker changes his identity, creates a persona of Zachary Comstock, and continues on to craft the city in the sky, Columbia. On the other side of the coin is the other option I went over above, another universe created for if he had gone through with the baptism.
He returned to New York, and while we don’t have a clear idea of the exact events, we know he had a baby girl. When Booker was first faced with the choice of baptism, he refused. Refuse baptism, and continue living with the guilt.Be baptized, and emerge from the waters a new man.
Bioshock infinite ending full#
The best place to start at is the “Decision at Wounded Knee.”Īfter living a life butchering people and being full of regret and guilt, Dewitt is given the choice to undergo a baptism and “cleanse away the sins.” He has two choices: Sounds simple, but the basic story archetype provides you with an anchor to try to wrap your mind around the more straining segments. An infinite amount of possibilities, covering an infinite amount of scenarios.īioShock Infinite follows the exploits of Booker Dewitt, a guy trying to find a girl locked in a tower to erase debt. Others are a bit more varied, like if Abraham Lincoln never got assassinated. Some of these are very small, like did you order Pizza Hut or Papa Johns for dinner. The first aspect to wrap your head around is the “infinite” in “BioShock Infinite” – namely, the multiverse theory, in which there is an infinite amount of parallel universes that exist, each with constants and variables, that represent every choice we do or do not make. So, to hopefully amend these errant interpretations, I’m going to do my best to go over the ending, explaining what happened, and what it all meant in that last scene after the credits. Some missed the boat and have no clue what’s going on. Others were disappointed about what they perceived was a “sad” ending, when, in fact, the ending is (mostly) happy. Some people had questions about what it all meant. Turns out, I saw that a lot of people actually didn’t quite understand the ending.
With my head still reeling, I got online to pore over comments and explore facets about the ending that I missed, or perhaps get clued into one of the four recordings that I failed to find. One of the best, most complete, most thematically satisfying endings to anything I’ve ever seen, BioShock Infinite’s conclusion more or less consumed my brain for hours after it was finished. READ ONLY AFTER YOU’VE COMPLETED THE GAME. WARNING – HORRIFICALLY DETAILED SPOILERS BELOW.
