Most people seem to like the third one, which I never understood.

AI of Elisabeth was laughable compared to games like The Last of Us
Having played both, I can’t say I understand the differences here. Do you mind elaborating? I found Elisabeth a lot more helpful than Elie and to be honest, I can’t remember Elie having any impact on my gameplay off the top of my head.

Quiet the opposite for me. Have in mind I played it on the PS3 so its been a long while, but I remember that the enemys blatantly ignored her, that she did not fight at all and she constantly gave you ammo or health so it made the whole game pretty easy. Elli on the other hand was really grounded in the gameplay, the animations, she fought back and also got attacked by the enemy. I just found her much more useful and real and I remember that I was quiet shocked about the Elisabeth’s basic AI in Infinite

The enemies ignored both of them. Allegedly, anyway. I know when I played The Last of Us at launch, there were times that enemies saw me when I thought I was perfectly hidden while Ellie was out in the middle of no man’s land. In both cases, the enemy AI ignored these other characters because A) escort missions have never been fun, and B) it slowly builds a reason for you, the player, to grow attached to these characters when they help you. You feel the resource deficit in Infinite when Ellie’s not there to throw them to you.

Infinite was fucking great. I remeber feeling really immersed in the game and the story. It had super weird and dark theme which had me gripped. Oh Booker and Elizabeth, I miss you.

I was very very surprised to have a companion that wasn’t obnoxious to escort.

People seem to forget that Elizabeth was one of the first companions in video game history where she wasn’t this immediate liability that you had to protect harder than protecting yourself. It was a excellent gameplay choice to make her invincible, so you could focus on Booker’s own health and the enemies, but she was also useful, tossing you items and finding rifts to open. Even her interactions made it felt like she was a proper companion and not this misogynistic damsel-in-distress stereotype.
