If Big Daddies and Splicers are back then I'll be buying this, I enjoyed Infinite but the enemies in it were boring.

(Possible spoiler) Well seen as the DLC takes place a day before (or on) New Years Eve where the Kashmir restaurant was bombed and the civil war began then I guess some citizens of rapture had been splicing up for quite some time

fontaine's district is going to be represented as the industrialized ghetto. Clearly the denizens will be indulging in lesser luxuries....expectedly adam.

I just could never get into Infinite (I tried a few times), but would love to go back to Rapture and see it "alive".

@SharpBlades3 Infinite was missing the persistent ai. That was really a big part of what made rapture feel alive, despite looking so decrepit and dead. In infinite it felt like your presence activates the games parameters within a certain distance, more like a carnival ride than a 'game' . It was still sophisticated, but the lack of persistent game elements made it feel like a step back in some ways.

@hekifier Pretty extreme; this is nothing like an annualised CoD release with bimonthly DLC or map packs. What exactly is being forced on you and how?

@Krauklis @Numbuh277 @rsj2 not really

(some spoilers:)

multiverse/time travel rules are several, elizabeth became a constant in the universe because she was part of more than one (her powers are due to the finger being in one of the universes i believe). She could still exist, by killing booker, she essentially killed the "potential comstock". He, and almost all the other characters are variables in all universes.

The booker at the end of the game is another guy, one who never made the bet, never went on a religious seek or anything.

The booker we see in burial at sea will be a dude who doesnt even know wtf columbia is, my guess, that little girl is "anna" in a different universe.

The story doesn't affect the multiverse theory by itself. In my opinion.

Time travel will always leave holes, that's why many scientists like stephen hawking don't believe it to be possible. Because the very presence of a conundrum like "killing your father would you still exist to kill him" make it unstable and would pretty much be a contradiction to the universe.

TLDR:

Multiverse is complex yo!
