Now, I absolutely love RE8, it’s a very fun experience from start to end, and I really enjoy it for what it is. However, ever since my 4th play-through on the hardcore difficulty, I thought about something, that’s kind of stuck with me: The Game’s relation to family. Every main character, from protagonist Ethan Winters to the antagonists, all have something to do surrounding family, and it made me think about something in particular.

1. A bit of a hot take, but I feel Ethan’s character would’ve been better if he wasn’t trying to be yet another quippy badass. I get that it’s more fun to play, but I feel like Ethan should’ve been a bit more sympathetic or caring throughout the whole game, still having a few quips and one liners. Like, maybe he and Dimitrescu could have a few interactions about their children, how angry they are that their children were taken from them, or how important their children are to their, maybe they could relate and even respect each other because of the hardships they went through, and how they just want to do their own things but are forced into fighting each other.

2. Adding onto the whole ‘Ethan should’ve been a bit nicer‘ thing, Moreau. Throughout the entire reservoir section with Moreau, the poor guy is constantly talking about how he‘s seen as a hideous disgrace to the family, and how all he wants is to be treated like an actual child to Mother Miranda. All he wants to impress Mother Miranda, the only mother figure he has in his life, and his mother figure is someone who couldn’t care any less for him if she tried. Throughout Moreau’s section, I feel like Ethan should’ve at least shown some sympathy to Moreau, try to help Moreau understand that Miranda doesn’t care for him, but fails due to Moreau being too deep in Mother Miranda’s manipulation and indoctrination that he fails to realise that she doesn’t care about him until it’s too late. In general, I feel like the game is incredibly mean spirited to Moreau, like, it goes way too fucking far, man. Moreau is such a sweetheart who doesn’t deserve what happens to him and how he’s treated by everyone.

In conclusion, I feel like the game should’ve added a bit connections with the whole family relationship about all of the villains, maybe have Ethan talk with the villains more often, get to know them personally, could’ve made for some very interesting moments. I get that it’s probably a stupid thing to want, but I don’t know, it seems like it would fit to me, what do you think?

All your OC wanted was just to finally have a good night’s rest, especially after today, which has been overly exhausting and way, way too long. Now, your OC lays slump on their bed, yet sleep is not given so easily, cuz why would it. No, because guess what? Some moron across the street to your OC’s house, or across the hallway in the same apartment complex your OC lives in is playing dubstep loud enough to deafen anyone to close to the speakers. They can‘t sleep, not through the repetitive reverberations of the bass boosted music in the air, not with the high hats that pierces your OC’s ear drums like nails on a chalkboard, and most certainly not the vibrations of the music in the walls and floors.

It’s up to you how your OC proceeds, just make sure to follow these rules:

1. Fighting allowed (Your OC should be mountain level or below)

2. No Instantly Winning

3. No Godmodding (you control your OCs, not mine, and I control my OCs, not yours)

4. Romance allowed? Not sure if you would want to, but fuck it, it’s there

5. No war crimes (optional)

6. Password is… just, any word that is longer than 25 letters

7. Pls Enjoy :)
