User blog comment:BillStef/Was anyone disappointed by Infinite?/@comment-1379800-20130613013648/@comment-5927259-20130613021846

I agree, the choices should have been a lot more meaningful outcomes for the final game. By the sounds of the adding of the thimble and new the Comstock design it sounds very well that

Elizabeth was not the daughter of Booker, and they had something else planned. With all due respect to the ending they have now, which was very well done, I think that it would be very cool to see what they had in plan beforehand.

Adding on to what you were saying, the use of Vigors and Gears have absolutely nothing to do with what is happening in Columbia. In BioShock 1 + 2, the use of Plasmids were a use of protection and fight for survival; adapt or die. In Infinite, there's not really any meaning to what their use is.
