Bioshock has many interesting characters and two of these were Rosalind and Robert Lutece. Two people from different universes. Due to their need to understand the universe around them, they each went on to study physics and ultimately helped to change the multiverse forever.

How did they meet each other? What actions led them to change the multiverse and how does their story end? In this video, I explore the lore and story behind the Lutece Twins in Bioshock.

A 4 hour film adaptation of this game would've been a dream

If bioshock infinite were made into a movie, (or better yet a Netflix series) the narrative outlined in this video is the story line that the show should follow. The events of the game have already been told, and in a way fit for a video game, but that doesn’t always translate well. But the back story and lore provide a lot of potential interesting story elements and character interactions that would make for a great TV series.

It's interesting that they appear so above it all but they're really more engaged than anyone else

In my playthrough I never picked up about Robert pressuring his Sister to make things right (twice, actually). It's interesting that seems to be the only real difference in their personalities.

This game was a key part of childhood, thank you for making a video on the most mysterious bioshock game

Love the Bioshock series, I've really dug into all of them. I look at/read everything I can in the games, yet there were still so many things you explained in this video I wasn't aware of. Incredibly well done! Infinite is my favorite of the series as well!

I would love to see a small series of animated shorts about the Lutece Twins traveling from one timeline to another.

Well done on the video. The Lutece are definitely my favorite characters in BioShock. Always got a laugh from their humor.

Funny to see this pop up today, I was referencing them just the other day! I love the lore of Infinite, it’s somehow both disheartening and beautiful, in how the vastness of the universe makes us feel small, but, also, it is awe-inspiring. Booker is still one of the video game heroes closest to my heart, I really felt immersed in the character, especially being a new parent myself when I first played the game.

10+ years ago when i first played Infinite, i didn't really read deeply into the story. I was a drinker at the time, alcohol tends to dull the brain. At the time i just wanted entertainment. Fast forward to today and 9 years sober, i replayed Infinite and intently paid attention to the story and narrative. I just completed the main game, and am already in Rapture playing the first part of the DLC. Man did i miss so much the first time, what a story and the gameplay is superb. Although i do find the sound to be a bit much at times, it has been thoroughly enjoyable and i absolutely loved the Lutece "Twins". Great overview on their story, i stopped watching when you started talking about Burial at Sea. Can't wait to see how things unfold.

these two- so random, no explanation in game, yet the most important characters in the entire game. i smell a movie about these two...

@elvenstar32 4 years ago

I remember the first time I played Infinite I had to study as if for finals. And once I managed to grasp "part" of the story, I couldn't help but feel incredibly sad for most of the characters...
Haven't played Bioshock 2 for some reason...

The Lutece twins are one of my favorite characters :D

@leov91 3 years ago

Just started replaying this for the umpteenth time. Truly one of my all time favorite games. It’s absolutely brilliant and the multiverse shenanigans are fascinating. Thanks for making this. Brilliant video

@demolant_lang 4 years ago

I loved about half of Bioshock Infinite. The Lutece twins were my favourite part of it! I think the game mainly failed in two points: trying to pass off the revolution of the oppressed underclass as "both sides are just as bad", and the way Booker and Elizabeth just hopped from reality to reality without seeming to worry at all about what happened to the realities they left behind. I mean, sure, there may not have been much they could do about it, but it just felt kind of cold, you know?

@blackypaw840 2 years ago

I never played any of the games, but the DM of a Dungeons and Dragons Game I was playing suddenly and rather unexpectedly had these two appear in one session. And frankly, I am hooked on them now. Thank you for the explanations!

6:53 fireworks during a sunny afternoon. That always bugged me when I saw that. No nighttime levels in Columbia also bothered me.

Goddamn I played this game when I was too young. The story is so complex and beautifully crafted. I like that the part of the story you play takes place in the span of just around one minute of this video 🤣 it’s awesome

This was really fantastic. I'm a total lore nerd. I haven't played a lot of the games I know a ton about as I started developing migraines when gaming a while back and we can't seem to fix it. Bioshock is one of the worlds I don't know much at all because it seems like it is one of the ones that hasn't been delved into as much. So this was a treat! You're doing a great service to folks like me that absolutely love the worldbuilding and stories of the games but can't play for one reason or another.
