Okay guys, this game has been noodling around in my head since I first played it 8 years ago.
I absolutely love it, it's an absolutely beautiful game with thought provoking themes.
My main question is, why exactly are the events taking place in the first place? From what I understand, Booker is more or less sent to the future to stop himself and save Elizabeth?
I pretty much understand everything in the meat of the story. I've even connected the dots between Infinite and the original. But I just can't wrap my head around why (or more specifically, how) we're in the boat with the Letuce twins from the start.
I don't know but just played it myself. Such a gorgeous game.

IIRC old booker betrays the twins and so they mastermind the causality loops that lead to the player version of booker rampaging through reality.

So the twins are the people he owes the "debt" to??
Nicholas Walker
remember the coin flip scene, that chalkboard gives us a minimum count of how many bookers they went through.
Joseph Fisher
in a literal sense they bought his debt to get his kid to try weird stuff to.
in the narrative sense he owes a debt to baby Liz for selling off her future.
Isaac Cooper
Oh fuck... yes! Haha man what other fuckign details like that have concrete meaning to them??
Colton Morgan
So they wanted her because they knew she would have that power? Or does the power come from her being separated at the finger between tears?

>Letuce twins There are no twins: there is a 'he' that found a way to find his 'she' counterpart in another timeline that he was able to rip her out from there, since then, they work 'together' but in reality, they are the same person.
