Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

In lieu of meaningful text, I'm just going to mention I've been exploding all day and now it hurts to breathe, so I'm sure you all understand.
One little detail I noticed and liked about these scenes is that when Ada is pointing the gun at Luis, she has her finger on the trigger. Later on, when she does it to Leon, her finger is specifically outside of the trigger guard.

Ada either has some serious trust issues or she loves to point guns at people out of habit. I thought Luis needed her to get away from here. Why does she keep pointing the gun at him?

Probably cause he keeps Amber-balling Ada, and she's getting frustrated.

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

Luis is a work-acquaintance that keeps making Ada question whether it'd be more trouble to just shoot him and find the Amber herself or let him keep jerking her around, so she puts her finger in the guard to show she means it when she asks why she shouldn't just shoot him. Leon is an equal who she likes to toy with but wouldn't ever fight seriously, so she keeps her finger close enough to appear like she's handling him the same way without actually risking Leon taking a bullet for real. Thinking on it, Leon kinda recognizes this too given he put the blunt edge of the knife against her in one of the earlier cutscenes with the serrated edge facing outwards.

She was being really flirty with Leon. Can't do that if you might accidentally shoot him in the head.

The thought just occurred to me, Ada knows Leon is Plaga infected, she KNOWS what happens to the Plaga infected. Why is she telling him to leave? She knows that's not really an option, on account of the whole head exploding thing. We know she seems to like him too, so, WTH Ada? And no, spaghetti make out sessions are not a viable answer.

Maybe she knows more about the spaghetti and that they depend on being psychically irradiated or ordered around by some Saddler alike and so he'll be safe far away and to control Ashley, Saddler will have to leave the village and shadow her or something.


Or it's a plot hole.

Maybe she's testing him, to make sure he hasn't backslid into being as jaded as she pretends to be since their last meeting.

If he's still the do-right boy scout, then she gets him a motorboat and jet-ski at the end, because he's doing the right thing. Maybe if she and Luis were successful in getting the serum together and Leon did not solve that problem himself, she would be OK with helping him.

OTOH, if he is like "You're right, to hell with the helpless girl." Then maybe she knows to not waste her time anymore. Or even more generously, maybe she then has the idea in the back of her head to try and convince Wesker to rescue Ashley, as she'd be a good bargaining chip.

I love the implication that Luis has no idea what Ada's infected with, since his suppressant didn't work.

On the one hand, being a biosciences or medical prodigy in the Resident Evil universe almost certainly designates you with a significant trend towards Evil.

On the other hand it allows you to practically warp reality to your whims.

Appreciate the commentary on how disgusting Ada's sweater-dress must be after splashing about in the sewers.

You know that thing's not going to be dry for the rest of the game.

I just realized that while the Ada melee animations are cooler looking, they really lack the audio oomph and camera shake that Leon gets. It makes them feel weaker, even though I'm pretty sure mechanically they do the same damage.

If there was the sneaking mechanic from RE2R applied to this game; the suitcase Ada has makes her weigh a lot more than Claire, since U-3 heard her moving around.

Glowing weak points have been a video game mechanic since forever. Even combining zombies and gross body parts might have been house of the dead first.

I did enjoy seeing dropped pieces of the main game show up here, the laser hallway in particular was something I missed. I always wondered if this guy was completely new or a reuse of something during the original game's development. I guess I could've googled it at any time, but that's what I watch LPs for :tipshat:

So, for those curious (nobody), I did a bit of digging based on the appearance of the various guns on the ship that Ada promptly demolishes, and the closest real-world comparison is the Spanish Santa Maria class frigate, which has been around from the early 1980's.

Man, I like the shield grab move, I really wish it made it back into the main game for Leon in NG+ or something. More rear end in a top hat(ish) physics would be fun, too, conking dudes with stuff flying around is always a good time in games.

And that boss fight played out a lot differently in both of my runs. Running up behind the altar at the back end of the room turned it into a long distance fight, Saddler stayed back far enough to keep the rifle viable with a few long range dodges, and he went down in few enough shots that I never had to get in close. That was on normal difficulty, so maybe it doesn't work if he lasts longer on higher levels.
