Elisabeth in Burial at Sea

[Dennis[DK]]

I have just completed Burial at Sea, and I really like it. At first sight it just look as a bad transference of Booker and Elisabeth into the Rapture universe. But during the game, more and more details are explained, and in the end the all is told.

But I don't understand Elisabeth. She seems as a whole new character; her looking is completely different and almost unrecognizable (and with ridiculous big eyes), she seems much older (age about 35), and she acts and speeches different, distant from the original Elisabeth. In original Infinite, Elisabeth is a curious and "innocent" person. But in Burial at Sea, she is harsh.
But Booker stays as the same character.

Well, if you think about it, in Infinite we met Elizabeth and she was young and immature and knew nothing of the world. Fast foward to the end of the game and all she has seen and been through...that changes people, makes them grow up. We don't know how long after Infinite BAS takes place.

It takes place just before the 1958 New Year's Eve Riots.
But thinking at all the "Constant and Variables", time travels, parallel universes, Comstock older than Booker, and such - and since Booker is about the same age as in Infinite - I still wonder.

Yes, indeed. But IMO it is very fascinating and interesting. I always have an interest in science fiction and such.

And yes, I'm Danish :)

One of my best friends in Danish. I can only speak a little, I find it to be a difficult language.

It is a difficult language, yes :)

Remember all the things that happened to Elizabeth in Infinite and all the things she witnessed while travelling with Booker. Like with Booker before her, this has left a lasting effect on Elizabeth.

There was the ticket office, the incident with Slate, New York or Paris, Fitzroy and the things that happened to her near the end of the game.

Also Booker left Elizabeth alone again in the multiverse at the end of Infinite, when he walked through that final door.

So Elizabeth has toughed up. She also knows exactly who this Booker really is and what he has done.

This is also an exploration of just where Comstock ends and Booker begins.

@Ivlichnov:
I see. And it makes sense. She has experienced a lot of things, probably become disillusion. She was very caring (and naive?) in original Infinite, and believe the best in other people. But now, she had seen all the bad things, people also can do, and have now become a tough and harsh person.
But I still wonder how she can be about 15-20 years older, while Booker is on the about same age.

This Booker fled to Rapture in the same year that Elizabeth came to Columbia, which was 1893, going by the timeline in Comstock’s Hall of Heros.

He has been in Rapture for a number of years before Elizabeth arrived. Elizabeth asks Booker at one point, what year did he arrive in Rapture?

As for what Elizabeth has been up to since the end of Infinite, we may get more answers in Burial at Sea part 2. Will we get to see flashbacks and memories from Elizabeth’s perspective?[\spoiler]

Whoa whoa whoa...Booker is 34 years old during Infinite, Burial at sea takes place in 1958...he'd be 80 years old if he left to go tp Rapture when Elizabeth went to Columbia.

The Lutece's used their Tear machine to send Booker to Rapture in the future, in an alternate Universe.
