I’ve found as a general rule, modern high waisted skirts are generally shorter in length, and like to hang around my thighs. It’s clearly a knee-length skirt, but also very has a very high waist. The skirt Elizabeth wears is slightly more of a challenge. But that, of course, is open to interpretation 😉 In actuality, it actually looks like Elizabeth is wearing two pairs of stockings, one pair of sheer stockings with backseam and then fishnet stockings over those. I personally like these Fredericks of Hollywood stockings, though the fishnet is slightly smaller than what Elizabeth seems to be wearing. Maybe it’s because the first ever Lingerie Fashion Week has just ended, but in an age when many a girl will wear leggings as pants, stockings are quite an understated glamour. We move upwards on Elizabeth to the next detail of her clothing, her stockings. These Adrienne Vittadini Cecilia T-Strap Pumps are just about the right heel height, and though slightly lighter, could absolutely work in a potential Elizabeth cosplay: įor those veterans willing to sacrifice less of a heel for comfort (hey, walking around a convention floor for 10+ hours in heels is HARD – trust me, I know) these flats from Sole Society are great: But at closer glance, there are slight rhinestone details and ruched leather that scream 2013. They look like shoes that Ingrid Bergman wore in Casablanca in one of the scenes that she wasn’t important in. Elizabeth’s shoes, at first glance, seem like your typical do-goody 1940’s housewife type of shoes. The smallest details usually speak the largest volumes about you. I had surmised in an earlier article that the artistic style of Elizabeth hinted at film noir femme fatale type of look, and we can certainly see how that silhouette was inspired by that era, but there are still details that keep Elizabeth’s look very 2013.Īs a New Yorker, it is an unspoken rule that you are judged first and foremost by your shoes. It's not designed as the second half of Burial at Sea so much as a conclusive bookend to the entire Bioshock franchise.The Powers that Be at Irrational Games have decided to give Elizabeth a complete head to toe makeover for the Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea DLC and I for one, am very pleased. A story about overlapping realities and repeating patterns. It was a story about a city on the verge of a violent, doomed revolution. It wasn't just about Elizabeth trying to find a lost girl. It tied together the disparate threads of Bioshock's Rapture and Bioshock Infinite's Columbia into one cohesive story, and did so satisfyingly. It felt as if it was building towards an inevitable conclusion to everything that came before it. That's what was most impressive about Burial at Sea.
#ELIZABETH BIOSHOCK INFINITE BURIAL AT SEA SERIES#
It's the chapter that ties the whole series together, bringing back the major players who plagued Rapture in the original game. Burial at Sea Episode 2 comes with a 'Previously on Bioshock' cinematic for a reason, feeling more concerned with the overarching story. While the individual plots work as self-contained stories, they should be taken as parts of a whole. It's hard to consider Bioshock games in isolation, though, and that goes doubly for this DLC.
Playing both episodes back-to-back took about 7 hours, and that included hunting down hidden collectibles and eavesdropping on NPC chatter. Perhaps Irrational would have been better served releasing both episodes as a single package, but even then the final experience is still quite short.
While the stealth gameplay worked well to build atmosphere, it also made the game feel a little padded, spending time hiding and sneaking rather than clearing rooms with guns blazing. The change-up to gameplay style doesn't come across as polished as the experience Bioshock or Bioshock Infinite provided, and we found ourselves missing the chances to truly cut loose as you could in the previous games.īurial at Sea Episode 1 was justifiably maligned for its brevity, and while Episode 2 was a little longer, it doesn't really rectify the issue. This does mix things up, but be warned - you'll be sneaking up on splicers to silently knock them out, not dropping down from sky-lines like death incarnate. In fact, armed with a nonlethal crossbow and infused with supernatural abilities, Episode 2 seems to take cues from Arkane Studios' Dishonored more than anything else. While the game could have traded on the frenetic gunplay featured earlier in the series, Elizabeth's relative fragility coupled with the claustrophobic, waterlogged passageways of Rapture makes Episode 2 a tense, stealthy affair.
