Bioshock Infinite - Out now!

[spoilers]The necklace doesn't change anything in the story, it will still be a cage. Another thing that's cool about the necklaces is that it changes to the other one every time you enter a tear to another world.[/spoiler]

[spoilers]But when you meet Elizabeth when she's really old and shows you the city on that balcony, she gives you a card with a symbol on it, Elizabeth looks at the card after Booker gives her it and says about a cage, coincidentally, a cage is what Cry chose for Elizabeth's necklace, so would the card have a bird on it if you chose the bird? And if so, why wouldn't that have any impact on anything? That just seems like lost potential...[/spoiler]

[spoilers] the symbol of the cage represents the notes C A G E . Its the song that Elizabeth plays to get the Songbird to ally with you.[/spoiler]

[spoilers]Nothing you do changes the story. That's the point of constants. Getting killed at the baptism changes everything, but that's changing a constant.[/spoiler]

[spoilers] old liz draws the CAGE because it's instructions to controlling songBIRD. the CAGE represents the notes to a song, so she simply draws the picture. songBIRD represents captivity rather than freedom as most would assume. conversely, the CAGE represents freedom rather than captivity because it allows her to destroy songBIRD. drawing a bird would mean nothing because old liz wants you to destroy songbird because he's part of the reason that young liz's tear power is suppressed, causing old liz to become tortured and comstock's plan to destroy "the sodom below" to green light

sorry I'm bad at explaining things in text
EDIT: capitalized important words relevant to the bird/cage constant and variable thing [/spoilers]

apparently undertow works on handymen? so if you've got damage boosted on a high power weapon, you can retrieve them and hit them in the heart a couple times.

You know, I heard a lot about specializations and stuff in 1999 mode

What happened?

1999 mode, as of halfway into the game or so, all it is is just a higher difficulty.
Enemies heal fully on death, and you take more damage.
The twist is, you lose the same amount each death, and it doesn't scale the lower or higher you have. If you can't pay for respawn, you have to start the entire game over.

no, you just start from the last major check point that saved before you started that game session.

Well that's no fun.
