I see you've already been told, but yea, Booker and Elizabeth are father and daughter. They go most of the game not realizing it, and a lot of people (including me!) were already shipping them together by the time we found out.

Haha, oops...I'm in the midst of playing this game & I just read the spoiler. IDK what the thinking was by the game designers but their relationship *definitely* comes across as flirtatious. The hell, BioShock?

Re: spoilers

[(Anonymous)]

A lot of things got changed in the last 6 months of development, so there's speculation they weren't originally supposed to be related. Also, Ken Levine didn't let the voice actors know any of the plot twists ahead of time. He wanted them to develop the relationship "naturally." So Troy Baker and Courtnee Draper started playing it like a budding romance, because that's what they thought it was, and I guess Levine just didn't bother to stop them.

Draper apparently had a huge freak-out the day of the reveal.

It was a *very reasonable* conclusion for them to draw. Though there is a point when Booker is looking for E and refers to her as a 'young girl' that made me wonder if I was reading it wrong/ if she was supposed to be younger than her avatar looked.

Re: spoilers

Oh no...that's why I didn't want to mention spoilers here. Sorry! It was a great reveal too... (Though fucked up and kind of frustrating for previously mentioned reasons, haha.)

I hadn't heard what anon said about the cast not being told the plot twist until the recording, but that changes things quite a bit! To me the Booker/Elizabeth relationship always felt like it was moving into romantic territory, and when the game pulled out the father/daughter thing I was flabbergasted. If TPTB wanted Booker and Elizabeth to feel like family before that point in the game, they failed.

Despite not seeing it myself, I believe what anon said; Levine probably didn't care if the two came off as flirty or interested. Why idk (maybe he wanted us to be disgusted with ourselves? lmao), but it leaves one with a weird view of those scenes.
