Bioshock Infinite’s Elizabeth was originally mute, completely different in appearance

At a GDC presentation in San Francisco, Irrational Games’ Shawn Robertson explained how Bioshock Infinite‘s Elizabeth was to look completely different from the character we all recognise today.

And, she was meant to be mute.

You can watch the full presentation here, which is some great stuff. Robertson explains how Elizabeth was conceptualised and then tweaked to get to the finished product.

IGN also ran an interview on the subject, which you can watch below.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
