Well thats settled. If i every become a omnipresent time traveler. Im going to go find a female version of myself and go screw with people.

[@thetruth9807]

and her?

As a little girl playing this game, I've always adored Rosalind and wanted to be her so badly I would often recite her lines out of the blue. Now as a college student, I'm majoring in Physics; studying quantum physics and particle physics. Oh, if only 12-year- old me could see me now.

[@Blaquebarbgamer]

That’s so cool.

[@orthochronicity6428]

wow just watching the Luteces's dig their own grave while calmly debating is so strange and I love it

[@leilaniaileenlove]

Omg how did i not notice that??? Lol

[@CeeBleu]

I just realized something. Rosaline Lutece was the first one. She created the machine to open a tear into another universe, then she found a universe with her... or rather him, if in the chance that the variable in that universe is the single chromosome while the constant is their personalities and profession. It makes total sense!

[@sernoddicusthegallant6986]

yeah remember at the very start she says she dosent agree with the "exercise"

[@oofdude6615]

No offense, but a lot of people already figured that out, and it was pretty obvious if you really pay attention.

[@senorbolainas2991]

I think that one Lutece is a constant in all the universes or at least all the ones with Booker taking the baptism

[@serpentmaster1323]

It sounds like Rosalind is from the universe with Comstock where he takes the baptism, and Robert is from Booker’s universe where he doesn’t

[@mish375]

@@serpentmaster1323 Yes. In the universes where Booker becomes Comstock, Lutece is a woman. In the universes where Booker refuses the baptism, Lutece is male. In any universe Lutece will always be a scientist, but his/her sex will differ. Also, without Comstock, there is no funding for Robert as a physicist, which is why Rosalind was able to get further with her work than her counterpart in the Booker universe.

[@Aurik-Kal-Durin]

15:10 I love how Rosalind describes sexual intercourse. "Errant act of carnality"... classic!

[@mish375]

English is such a fun language. The Brits really came up with a variety of ways to say something.

[@Barkend3]

Watching this after finishing the game just adds to how great this game is. Like that very first scene in the boat, at 1:00 Robert says that there's no point in asking Booker to row, Rosalind asks why. Robert: Because he doesn't row. Rosalind: He doesn't ROW? Robert: No. He DOESN'T row. That emphasis on the "DOESN'T" means they already asked for one of the previous Bookers to help rowing, and discovered he doesn't know how to row. Probably one of the Bookers screwed up while trying to row during that storm, and now they know they must not let him row.

[@OccipitantX]

Or maybe they mean he won't row because they, being time travelers of a sort, have seen that he doesn't.

[@darksouls2isthebestgameeve470]

row also means arguing

[@ConelradCreations]

He doesn't row - He doesn't know. They are saying that currently the Booker doesn't know the plot of his significance whilst rowing to lighthouse to go to Columbia.

[@HaackSpeed]

Yes, this. He just doesn't row, in any timeline

[@RandomGerman8008]

I offered up the same question/arguement in my own comment. I'm wondering if they really meesn rowing as rowing. Near the end of the conversation, their tones in their voices change. As if they are offering up secret innuendos for some inside joke only they know about. The male lutece is rowing. A man moving his hands up and down two stiff poles. saying the only other guy in the boat doesn't "row". Kinda transparent what is being said there. Booker Dewitt is straight, and male lutece knows this cause he tried with a previous dewitt and got nowhere.

[@route99]

If you want to be even further impressed with the "Twins" look to the origin of the name Lutece. It is actually the name the Romans gave to the original settlement that grow to become Paris! Furthermore the name refers to a marshy island in the middle of the River Seine that was the first outpost of the settlement. An island in the stream...the constant in the variable. Who doesn't love the "Twins"?

[@hydro7373]

The Lutece twins are not 1+1, but 1×1

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

[@ttomproductionz]

[@nightingalebard]

During heads or tails, if you stuck around and just stood there, the Lutece twins will say a few witty comments to you, before Rosalind says (making fun of NPC dialogue loops) "If you continue to stand there, I'll be forced to repeat myself."

[@TheMGSlow]

So we were playing the 143rd Booker Dewitt....

[@tiagov.s.2693]

+TheMGSlow I reallt hope you didn't spend 10 minutes of your life counting all the sticks that were drawn in the board lol

[@JackH1205]

It would be the 123rd. 24 tallies of 5 = 120 plus the three scribbled underneath the front equals 123.

[@heropon12l9]

+Jack Hiles well done with that math

[@kevinocasio3022]

heropon12 l Quick maths

[@JF-bg5hv]

I think it was more of a stab at the "constants and variables" multiverse possibility theme that revolved around Lutece. You just happen to prove that in some probable universe, a coin flip land on heads 120 times in a row. Extremely unlikely, but still possible.

[@jmk3178]

[@Corallus_Caninus]

The_Real_JDC I think because there was multiple realities or whatever you may call it, things change of course but one thing that never changed in any of the time lines is that booker doesn’t row when he’s in the boat.

[@DStalnaker13]

@@TheRealJDC one of the themes of the story is “constants and variables” one of the constants is that in every reality the Lutece’s went to Booker dosen’t row. It’s a constant.

[@TheRealJDC]

@@DStalnaker13 yea thanks man I get it now. It just seems like a really odd choice of wording. He puts emphasis on "row" and it doesn't help that row also means to argue so it sounds like he won't argue or something 🤣

Ah... of course... well at least they left the piano...

[@WouldYouLikeToKnowMore2]

That Lutece line "We are where we're needed." "And needed where we are." Applies to all of us in this dimension. This is because all dimensions sort of have a "pre-written" history" where we all do certain actions that lead us to somewhere new to do other actions. Actions cross actions. That is how dimensions work. The constant is being ourselves, but the variables being the actions/situations. This line also agrees with "everything happens for a reason." That is also why time travel sucks according to this theory. Since you change something that was supposed to happen, say a failed test, then you altered the pre-written history of this dimension and caused a tear in the space-time continuum. In short, everything happens to keep a dimension from crossing another dimension.

[@Crimson_Sun2486]

Why grammar professors specifically?

[@mish375]

As an ESL teacher I must say their uses of the Simple tenses are wonderful. But what'll break people's minds even more is that the words we use to name things are arbitrary. What we call a chair in one universe could easily be called a desk in another. In fact, since all possibilities exist, it's likely there is a universe where that's the case.

[@skxlter5747]

@@mish375 so pretty much all things have a different name, same object but different name n such ?

[@mish375]

@@skxlter5747 Basically what I'm getting at is that there's no real reason to call a table a table or a chair a chair. And different words for those terms exist in other languages. So there could be a universe where different words are used to describe the same things in English depending on how the language developed in that reality. One missed opportunity in this masterpiece of a game was having audio diaries from Robert after he crosses into Rosalind's reality. It would have been very interesting to hear what differences there were between his home reality and Rosalind's.

[@nickjoffe8433]

​@@mish375But If the Multiverse is infinite, with a universe for each and every difference possible, then wouldn't it be not unreasonable that some universes contain only a small, tiny difference; just as there could be worlds with numerous differences? What if the reason we didn't hear about Robert Lutece's world, is because the only single difference was his female counterpart?

[@solargoth]

"..And so I shall do my part, knowing it shall all end in tears." Tears... Or /tears/? These two were ridiculously clever.

[@lunavyz901]

[@maddie9602]

"When I was a girl, I dreamt I was standing in a room looking at a girl who was and wasn't myself; who stood looking at another girl who also was and was not myself. My mother took this for a nightmare. I saw it as the beginning of a career in physics." One of my favorite Lutece lines. On another note, Booker, they _specifically_ told you not to pick #77. You idiot.

[@angelrenate]

But what would have happened if he didn't? If he didn't he may not have "saved Elizabeth." I feel more they told him not to so that when he saw he did he'd realize he needs those two.

[@TyrannosaurusCHEX]

I think he had to do everything he did to reach that final ending- it was the only reality where he could break the cycle

[@asdasasdas3476]

I always figured that the universe where he hadn’t picked #77 or even hadn’t participated in the racket at all was the one you visit later in the game where booker was a martyr to the Vox populi , since the racket event is what lead booker to getting exposed Sooner rather then later therefor leaving no time to plan anything

[@noahkarpinski1824]

You can play the game. You don't get any other option then to pick #77 There are constants and there are variables...

[@74camarolt]

Because Lady Lutece says she's surprised the Shield didn't kill Booker, and because this isn't their first go-around with sending Booker to kill Comstock, could it be that the Shield is what led to his success?

[@sethn5217]

sandiego74 I think it might of been an integral part of it but I think it was the fact that it didn't kill him that altered the variables

[@TrueJunebug]

sandiego74 WOW! A reply a year later! I don't believe that the shield was the defining variable. Based off of the coin flip the Booker you play as is the 123ish I believe iteration. If the first 122 died when given the shield they would most likely be forced to conclude that the shield killing him is a constant and not a variable and decide to find another way to help him along. Most likely a majority of the Bookers died but enough survived to show that it is possible for him to survive and that it gives him a distinct edge. Based off of this logic we can conclude that it wasn't strictly the shield that let him survive because more Bookers would have had it before him. Or hey, maybe the Luteces are altering their formula for the shield between attempts trying to improve it and it is indeed what changed it.

[@Klogeist]

TrueJunebug I think that the shield working was one but not the only condition for Booker to not die. Another could be 'old Elizabeth' giving him the notes to control songbird (i think she said something along the lines of 'songbird always stops you'). That indicades that all Bookers who survived the shield and maybe other variables/filters eventually died to songbird. Could be wrong on that one tho ^^

[@BoostedMonkey05]

It's a series of circumstances that don't kill Booker is what makes your version successful. It's not just the shield. Maybe even surviving the transportation of Booker to this 1912 or the launch being successful or not having your face grounded by the skyhook

[@Fragmentsinfractals488]

A little late, but the dead man in the lighthouse is also a variable. The Luteces kill him so he cannot get the jump on Booker. In the Luteces' house, they have a picture of the Lighthouse circled.

[@InstaSound]

These two made the difference between a good game and a great game for me. Impressive characters!

[@smengus]

I just realized. Practically every interaction with the Lutece's in the game demonstrate constants and variables. Constants: either one since they are the same being Variables: what they offer to you. It's pretty much the same person giving you different options or doing different things. At least, I think that's what it means ^^" Alternate universes are wack yo

@@H0NK3R5 Robert's mind adapted to the Comstock universe. I think it just shows some of the differences in personality they have. In other cases, he eggs on Rosalind and the two trade banter. Likely a personality thing.

[@DovahFett]

@@mish375 Robert has less of an ego than his sister, and is a lot more thoughtful. The only reason the game’s plot happens is because he convinced her to help him stop Comstock and reunite Elizabeth with Booker. Rosalind was ready to jump dimensions and leave the world to burn, but Robert’s sense of responsibility prevented him from doing the same. She’s amoral, and only cares about the logic of doing something. He has a sense of morality, and thinks it’s worth helping people in need even if it doesn’t directly benefit him. All-in-all, he’s much more in touch with his humanity than she is, and that’s the biggest difference between the two.

[@mish375]

@@DovahFett I think you misunderstand Rosalind. While they poke fun at her willingness to be in a grey area and she does have an ego, she does privately express guilt over what happened to Elizabeth as she and Robert truly wanted her to be happy. There are a few Voxophones that indicate this, especially one in Clash in the Clouds where she says that she hopes Songbird can be a better father to her than Booker or Comstock. She also left some of her books in Elizabeth's Tower for her to read, indicating that she wanted Elizabeth to get some kind of education and not be completely unaware of the world around her. Rosalind also expresses that she knows she's hypocritical when she judges Comstock because "I helped him build the stage". She carries a high degree of guilt that she tries to bury. However, the tragedy of Rosalind's character is that she was raised in a transactional society: one that used her for her genius but discarded her for being in a male-dominated profession. To assert control she threw herself into the sciences, but saw the world like the Cage: no free will and what happens will always happen. She is extremely repressed emotionally. One of the underlying reasons she didn't want to do the exercise in the first place is because it would mean that they would have to watch Booker and Elizabeth die repeatedly and those universes could not be saved. But they'd have to experiment until they got it right. And that happens at leat 122 times, which explains why Rosalind sounds angry when they appear. She did tell Robert that it will end in tears for that reason and she doesn't want to put either of them through that grief. But, Burial at Sea Part 2's boat scene definitely established that behind Rosalind's veneer of anger is actually sadness and grief at Elizabeth's choice to sacrifice herself. She simply has trouble expressing her feelings to anyone other than Robert. And the final Voxophone diary from Rosalind indicates that she's torn between becoming mortal again vs. remaining in a semi-immortal state. Rosalind simply sees everything as being doomed to fail and thus failing is an unnecessary cruelty to the DeWitts if they keep dying over and over again. Robert believes in some free will and that we can change our fates. So he sees the deaths as necessary to save as many universes as they can. Robert is chaos, Rosalind is order. Both are needed for success. They both bring out each other's good traits. Robert's influence brings Rosalind out of her shell and helps her connect with her human side, the one she tried to bury behind logic. In turn, Rosalind influences Robert by giving him more structure to work with and helps him think more logically. Like yin and yang they are both essential for balance. A final word though: it's established that Robert's guilt over Elizabeth having a rough life is what drives him. It pushes him to be more responsible and think of others. I think one of the reasons he gave Rosalind the ultimatium was because he knew how difficult trying to make things right would be. Bearing it alone would have been too hard on him, but he was willing to take the risk. I think he knew Rosalind wouldn't leave him as she loves him, which is why he did it that way. But he was still willing to risk it all if it meant Elizabeth could lead a happy life and they could undo their mistake.

Though it's funny how in the end, the cage is technically the opposite of captivity, since c. a. g.e. played on the flute were the notes to control Songbird, which took his control over her away. I just love how that twists the symbolism of the images.

[@melodysymphonystar]

-Missed! Missed! Missed again! Another miss. And... a miss. -We can afford to do this all day. -The question is: Can you? Also, anyone else loves Booker's dry sense of humour? "Giant balloons?... So... Not giant balloons? ... I'll get back to you after I figure out the 'floating city' bit" Love him :)

[@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment]

It's a troll-off: The Doctor, Q, Captain Jack Sparrow, and the Lutece Twins. Place your bets.

[@garrettb2663]

The Luteces would win. Simply because they can twist your mind more than any one else. And then be dicks when you can't get it.

[@arosbastion7052]

Garrett B Ah, but you always end up getting it. It's all a matter of perspective.

[@nicholsjoshua15]

Robert and Rosalind are more assholes than Doctor Q or Jack Sparrow. Really I hate those two bastards! It's all their fault; every bit of it; they chose to work for an insane racist, help buy a baby from a depressed and shell shocked Booker, led Booker to die, set up Daisy to die, and abandon Elizabeth to die in Rapture. Those two can go fuck themselves! I hope they enjoy their infinite limbo.

[@liquidmantle]

Q, no doubt.

[@satsumafez]

They all have such wildly different views of the Universe it would be fascinating to watch. Q clearly the most powerful - though I suspect his apathy would mean he wouldn't take the others seriously. The Doctor strangely the physically most grounded in this reality might give him a greater grasp on what was going on. Jack Sparrow - well would certainly have strange views on the Universe but I'm not sure how he'd defeat the others - though he does seem to know his way back from death - which is a neat trick! And the Lutece's whilst seemingly able to be anywhere and percieve anything would be able to give any of them a run for their money. I predict a stalemate!

[@teencomment]

That little genius bit of wordplay at the beginning. "He doesn't row." "He doesn't ROW?" (as in, he doesn't row for exercise) "No, he DOESN'T row." (as in, Booker never offers to pick up an oar.)

[@lucasraines]

I love how the telegram is just signed “-Lutece.”. It doesn’t matter if it was Robert or Rosalind, because they are both Lutece.

[@SwiftEC360]

Not many people will probably agree with me, but the Lutece's remind me so much of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern from Top Stoppard's play, "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead"

[@SteviaCookies]

Yes, because they are part of the story but also outside it; although the Lutece twins are more like characters who managed to become readers, while Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are characters who become aware of their character status

[@rosvlinds]

I love this comment

Most probably.

[@aoibhealfae]

WonderBunny I want to play that game....

[@sethn5217]

aoibhealfae You are playing that game.... in another universe. The developers decision to make Elizabeth female and Booker male in theory created 4 universes.

[@redthemagicalunicorn]

Possibly, (most likely). I saw a very convincing theory in which the Luteces were twins, and one or the other was stillborn in different dimesions, if that makes sense. Then Rosalind became a megamimd genius physist and was able to meet Robert. I would provide a link, bu I was deep in Tumblr when I found it.

[@ChrisOnMission1]

Having replayed Infinite recently, I remembered that these two are probably my favourite thing in the game. Hilarious yet always slightly creepy. Charming yet ambivalent, you never know where they stand in relation two you exactly. Their dialogue ist brilliant, the voice acting ist top noch, they represent some fascinatingly complex ideas and with them there is always the feeling that something is very "wrong" with Columbia, that there are much bigger conflicts than the ones you directly participate in, and that they always know much more than anyone else, the player included. I was in the edge of my seat every single time these two popped Up.

[@VoidyBoiii]

I love them so much. The way they blend comic relief with crucial lore is amazing

[@gabe_liu9095]

i thought Robert paint Rosalind, but he paint his self portrait hha

[@TrueJunebug]

Abdal Sesari technically he was painting both her and himself at the same time

[@Magma_Seb]

Technically, in painting Rosalind, it would still be a self-portrait.

[@magmablock]

If these two don't win character of the year at the VGAs, I will be disappointed.

[@mendotcom345]

To Comstock's wife thought Ms. Lutece and Comstock had a baby. Which was Elizabeth. The Tea is real.

[@VoxasMusic]

Robert is Rosalind from a different dimension, some different circumstance made it so that instead of being a girl, Rosalind ended up being a guy in another dimension, Robert. That's why they finish each others sentences, they're essentially the same person thinking the same things.

[@Fred-xy9ch]

I don't know why, but the luteces remind me a little of happy mask salesman from Majora's Mask

[@dalemau5]

11:12 Them just doing random shit for the lols genuinely made me laugh my first time playing this game

[@mish375]

I think when time is no longer an object and death a minor inconvenience, playing some Quantum Baseball just for kicks is the way to go. Lol.

[@oofdude6615]

Finally, I escaped the depths of ASMR BioShock Infinite and got here. Time to breathe in the fresh air and finally live. _Insert REALLY close sniffing all ASMR-like_

[@Sparecards]

Are you mentally stable

[@WikiSorcerer]

I never noticed that they had theme music before now. Huh.

[@KATinBLACK]

Spoiler!!!! From DLC: BURIAL AT SEA THEY'RE BACK!!!! Just because everything ended with Booker and Elizabeth doesn't mean they're gone too!

[@HorrorNeedle]

My favourite pair of characters. This game holds such a special place in my heart.

[@getparriedyoufilthycasual701]

I love the music that plays during each encounter with the twins

[@eliottdeletraz97]

strangely, i found that relaxing (and stressful) seeing them leaving right after you climb the ladder. that's a good detail.

[@itswhoopiearchive2171]

... Strange fellas aren't they? At least they're British

[@shoe6003]

It'sWhoopie! Not in reality, they are actually American.

[@xonxt]

These two are absolutely delightful. Elizabeth was a darling, but aside from her these two were my favourite part of the game. Interestingly enough, every time I hear these two speak I was reminded of the two Gophers (Mac and Tosh) from Looney Tunes.

[@mintozenko7297]

A let's play channel featuring these two as the commentators would be absolutely amazing X'D

[@510ney4]

I wish we could hear the perspective from her brothers voice in the audiotapes

[@JaPo92]

He doesn't record himself. He doesn't record himself? No, he doesn't record himself.

[@TheCluelessOne022]

To listen to his tapes, you would probably need to visit his dimension. In the dimension the player is in, Rosalind is the scientist and Robert doesn't exist.

[@Marth_Shepard]

6:22 "This is becoming rather awkward" The luteces are the best characters in recent video game history.

[@WanderTheNomad]

You must've commented before timestamps were a thing on youtube. 6:22

[@Nobody-jd4fn]

Wow

[@morbius109]

The Luteces represented science and logic, but that touch of whimsy that came with their appearances only made their part in BioShock all the more enjoyable. My favourite characters in Infinite by far.

[@Over9000Fail]

These guys are geniuses. Despite being in an allegedly fictional environment, the have isolated transdimensional theory and bent it to their will over a hundred years before anyone had given a shit in this world. While they haven't exactly downed all of the vocabulary that comes with it, they've done a better fucking job than the people of this today.

[@finchcarvingadiamond]

Although there are so many amazing characters with good development, these are my favorite.

[@willgriffin9793]

The true beauty of this game is that you can play it as an FPS and enjoy it. But you’ll never understand how it ends. If you truly pay attention, you’ll realize the Lutece twins were telling you what was going to happen the entire time.

[@DaDualityofMan]

I just finished this game again after 7 years and something I tried to do that I didn't before was actually try to shoot them and Rosalind just goes "Missed." and I shoot her again "Missed again." Man, I love these characters, they're the definition of "cheeky".

[@BladeZero238]

"We can afford to do this all day." "The question is, can YOU?"

[@Radi0ActivSquid]

Anyone else think of the Luteces while watching Loki?

[@WanderTheNomad]

Surprisingly I didn't. Probably because Sylvie and Loki are much more different from each other than Robert and Rosalind are.

[@leilaniaileenlove]

Omg thank you so much for showing both sides' dialogue from the bird/cage choice; that's exactly what i came here for!

[@mysteryxio9957]

They remind me of the Cheshire Twins from that wonderland episode of Ouran High School Host Club but with scientific minds

[@DEATH1656_]

I never picked the cage when I replayed BIOSHOCK INFINITE

[@xenosmoke8915]

Behold, the two most reckless and terrifying human beings ever to have existed.

[@mish375]

Actually the bioshock multiverse is lucky it was the Luteces who ended up in a State of Flux and not someone else. Their experiments and quest to save the multiverses are measured. They also don't use their abilities recklessly. If it were the Fink brothers, the multiverses wouldn't survive.

[@AliFareedMC]

They were based on my favorite Play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead When i first played Bioshock Infinite I noticed how familiar they are to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern

[@nivaliente]

“It would seem the universe does not like its peas mixed with its porridge” That line is always on my mind when something weird or odd happens.

[@Brianworldwide_7]

I finished the game no so long ago and when the game gives you the choice to choose between the cage and the bird, notice how Elizabeth moves the bird a bit more, also, it has a lot more lighting. This is going to influence you into taking the bird more often than the cage which hasn't moved at all and has a lot more shadow. Interesting!

[@TheMajesticJunkyard]
