“Irrational stressed that Episode 2 of Burial at Sea is still quite early in development, and not everything has been ironed out just yet. I will say certainly you are picking up after the events of Infinite, and this is a person who has seen all the things you’ve seen in Infinite, and that’s had an effect on her.” She’s definitely changed by what she’s done. “She is very much Elizabeth, but also has a character. “I’m not gonna say what happens, but at the end of the first part of Burial at Sea, Elizabeth goes into another sort of realization and, to put you then in her shoes, we thought was gonna be something very powerful,” Levine said. While neither developer would outright confirm that this is “our” Elizabeth, both made it clear that she’ll remain very much aware of the events that took place in the core game. She's never that happy.” Jeffrey and Levine also addressed the idea of whether this is the same Elizabeth we spent time with in Infinite, or whether it’s another instance from a separate timeline. And on the other hand, I think that, unfortunately, things are never gonna be that easy for Liz. She will have far more powerful ways of interacting with the world than we saw in Infinite proper, but at the same time, it won't just be a case of walking to a space and going, ‘I'm just going to press a button, and now happy ending for everyone!’ Because, on the one hand, that wouldn't be any fun. So she's not entirely godlike in her abilities. There are some things that she can change, and some things that just won't make a difference if she changes them or not. I will say, though, that Elizabeth and her tear abilities are not necessarily a ‘win button.’ She has an understanding of this universe and the various universes that she can visit, and she knows, once again, constants and variables. “I hesitate to say too much about what we have just now, because it's entirely possible it will change in the next few weeks. ““We're still trying to work out exactly how extensive Liz's tear abilities will be in the playable Liz sequence,” Jeffrey said. While Booker utilizes guns and Vigors in Infinite, Elizabeth’s secondary power will be Tears, and Irrational is fully aware that it has to be careful not to let that mechanic break the game. It'll be fantastic.” At the end of BioShock Infinite, Elizabeth fully realizes her ability to use Tears in order to manipulate the environment around her. So, how that pans out and how that plays in the environment, I'm awfully excited to do. But Elizabeth has the advantage in smarts. There's all of these different kinds of ways of being more thoughtful, and – I hesitate to say it – almost more feminine way of approaching a problem, where there's all of these people and, to be very brutally honest about it, they have the advantage in strength. It may mean, in another situation, using the enemy's strength against them. And, sometimes, that might mean completely bypassing the enemy entirely, because she doesn't need to. “She needs to be kind of thinking in a roundabout way of how to deal with her enemies. “Elizabeth has to take things more from the side view,” she explained. And for that to transfer over to gameplay is, I think, we would be betraying her character again if suddenly she's got these huge biceps and she's running around the place with a ginormous machine gun.” According to Jeffrey, that means playing as Elizabeth is less about combat and more about strategy, often avoiding combat altogether. She's the one who's rifling through the drawers, or leaning against the walls, or whatever it is that she may be doing. She's more aware of her surroundings, and how she interacts with those things. She would be more considerate about keeping out of danger, and assisting you with various different things, and looking for things around in the environment and keeping an eye out for stuff. “Now, even in Infinite, Elizabeth was a much more thoughtful person. He's very much about storming the gates, or taking it head on, and he has these other tools available to him, but generally he's all about going head to head with his enemy and taking him down because he's the stronger man,” she continued. ““Booker, as a character, is an ex-soldier.
