we are supposed to be booker, a good looking action hero, and we have elizabeth, young, beautiful lady, the age difference doesnt seem to be too bad, and we didnt really know the twist yet, so did they want us to fall in love with her, or at least ship them both, and then learn about the twist? is that what they were going for? like make us be disgusted with ourselves to have incestuous feelings?

At no point in the game did I feel like Booker had romantic feelings towards Elizabeth.

I never identified with Booker at all so my less than wholesome feelings about Elizabeth are totes fine.

I haven't played any of the games only read the Wikipedia so please humor my question- wouldn't Elizabeth cease to exist once Booker was drowned at the baptismal font? (Since she only became Elizabeth after Comstock came into existence)?

Yup. That was the point of doing it. The DLC also addresses this.

Ahh so the only timeline remaining is where Booker drowns and AD grows up without powers (or a father)?

Her killing Booker made no sense

Less obvious but I think that's the implication.

What would have made more sense?

Don't know, but i will say Elizabeth has top notch AI for a companion in video games. If only all companies in games could be that smart it would be much better

I don't think that was avoidable. The baptism event is the pivotal point. Letting things proceed from there would have led to Comstocks and Bookers infinite. I don't think there was a possibility of just taking the "half" or so and excising them.

Then again, given the epilogue, maybe there was, and it worked.
