Bioshock Infinite – Does It Make a Difference If Choosing the Bird or the Cage Brooch?

bioshock-infinite

As I was playing Bioshock Infinite today, I was greeted by this fellow and lady shortly after busting Elizabeth from the confines of that statue. They gave us the choice of two brooches. One of a cage, and one of a bird. I simply wasn't thinking that this might have any effect on the game when I went with what Elizabeth sounded most intrigued by. So now she is stuck with a cage on her neck. Not the nicest of symbolism…

Does the brooch you pick for Elizabeth have any effect on the game or story line?

Well, not directly, so don't worry about it.

The point here is that you made a choice that you will remember and notice it later on.

Thanks to this choice you will almost immediately notice that the girl at the end is not Elizabeth since she doesn't have the brooch you selected for her. It was a nice touch by the game creators.
