Hey everyone, you read the title, you you know what's about. First, the questions are not gonna be about the ending itself, they are gonna be more open and more about speculation. So, here are the questions that,even after watching all the videos and reading all the columns, I still can find. Of course, prepare yourself, this post is full o' spoilers!
1 What's with the tonics?
2 Head, or tails? Or any other decision
3 A quick question about the ending
4 Sequels?
Remember that this post is not just about giving concrete asnwers, but also giving your opinion! Most of these questions don't have a solid answer
1 What's with the tonics?
My first question, what is the science of tonics? I tried to think it and re think it, and unless it's magic, I still don't get it. Rapture's plasmid used genetic manipulation of the cells as it says in the novel and it tells you through the game, but the only "hint" you have is think telling how he watched some scientists through a tear. If those were Tenenbaum or someone else from Rapture, how did he manage to copy it without sea slugs and injections? Has it got something to do with quantum mechanics? Also, I don't see real adverse effects, the only one I can sorta think of is the brain creating memories (when you enter the Vox Populi world, Booker gets his memories changed, but nothing happens to Elizabeth)
2 Head, or tails? Or any other decision
Those quick decisions you make in game, do they make something except changing dialogue and something aesthetic? Why is the coin always heads?
3 A quick question about the ending
So, after overthinking I think I got the ending. Booker drowned itself so Comstock was never created, as Comstock is DeWitt after Wounded Knee starting a new life, and if he never had that decision Comstock would never be created,right?
I agree 99.42% with that statement, but as the devil's lawyer I am there is always a doubting part. If there is a new universe for every possibility that happened, happen and will happen, then why is Zackary Hale Comstock only born when Booker DeWitt starts a new life?
Why isn't there a universe where DeWitt was never born, and instead he was born as Comstock? Why isn't there one in which he became mad and became Comstock? Except for that, awesome ending that makes you think and feel at the same time.

4 Sequels?
What worries me about this kind of so big endings is that the sequel probably won't be as big as the previous one, or it will be a failure (not to mention any sequel of Rapture...).
What do we do now? We already saw all the universes, we already made genetic manipulation, what else have we got? Are we closing the Bioshock book?
