* After two games, players were certainly used to and expecting period music. Well, those who know Music/TheBeachBoys and hear a version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI4tiKqpNIU "God Only Knows"]] over fifty years before it was supposed to come out certainly laughed and figured out the game would be a bit screwy.

** A bit of a MoodWhiplash shows up in the scene where Elizabeth first witnesses Booker killing people. She runs away in terror and makes it to an airship in an attempt to flee from [[HorrifyingHero Booker]], horrified at the violence- but when he finally catches up to her (after killing more cops), he finds her trying and failing to dislodge the break by putting both arms and all her weight into the lever, which isn't shifting even the tiniest bit. Booker sighs, casually walks up to it, and lazily turns the lever with one hand and no effort. Elizabeth sheepishly buggers off to the side and pauses in response, interrupting the flow of her WhatTheHellHero speech in that sequence.

*** The whole sequence through Battleship Bay basically provides Elizabeth's first impression of her would-be rescuer. Depending on the player's actions in the game, this could involve Booker rooting through trashcans for spare change or food (which he eats), walking into women's washrooms to empty the contents of any purses or handbags he finds, or even stealing from a cash register in the same room as the shop's owner. Elizabeth will more than likely have a few choice comments on your total disregard for social niceties or apparent poverty.
