What I think comes through in the ending is that the Lutece's and Elizabeth's combined powers enable a twisted leaching between the various worlds, or potential timelines in this world. Elizabeth, because of the loss of her finger is split across dimensions, having an innate ability to find the "weak points" between worlds in the tears. I think this is very much like the way the Lutece's are spread across all of space time when they are killed with their own machine, therefore they can exist anywhere within probability/any section of space time. So between Elizabeth, and the Lutece's machine ,which enables Comstock to kidnap her, a loop is created in which Comstock and Booker exist simultaneously in certain dimensions.

So, when the group of Elizabeths smother Booker in the pool they are eliminating all of the variations/dimensions that are created by the choice offered in the Baptism. If Booker is baptized he becomes Comstock, uses the Lutece's machine to kidnap Anna and creates this horrifying circle that the Lutece's want Booker and Anna to escape. If the choice is taken out of Booker's hands Comstock can never exist due to the Elizabeths killing off all the other potential outcomes. Ultimately leaving Booker and Anna to live in a world where she is never "sold" and imprisoned in Columbia, and hopefully Booker gets his life together. Overall great ending and I think if you look at this way, pretty happy.

@Deathshott There is also the possibility that when you are traveling with Elizabeth at the very end she is the one who actually pulls Booker into a world with Comstock. Leaving Booker on the coast with the Luteces, but due to the impact of crossing around dimensions he just doesn't remember it. Mind making memories to help make sense of the events and so on...

@bledsoe45sbc @jthouse1928 I'm not sure if it came through in my explanation but yea I completely agree! The Lutece's machine is what allows all of the crossing which creates the mindbending-ness across dimensions.

@bledsoe45sbc @fayte0618 @jthouse1928 I think the drowning just resolves all the universes in which Comstock was created. It only kills off that set, leaving the ones in which he walks away to still exist.

I have faith in Bethesda and Zenimax to make this a great game, despite my reservations about MMO's. That and I'm pretty sure Michael Gambon did the voice work for the trailer, thats awesome!
