[resident evil] I've watched a few LPs of the RE games but there's a lot I still don't understand at all
BF
It’s a good thing I’m here then
TTRPG DISCOURSE
I can try to explain but it’s some wild lore in places.
Niamh Vibes
I generally grasp the plot of 2 and 7, currently playing 4, and remember most of an LP of 5
Niamh Vibes
but like
Niamh Vibes
man what's wesker's problem
Niamh Vibes
Why you gotta be mad at Leon and/or Chris
TTRPG DISCOURSE
Weird vat baby raised to have a god complex.
TTRPG DISCOURSE
Also Chris laughed at his Tyrant once and made him feel bad so he devoted like a decade to trying to ruin his life.
Niamh Vibes
good for him
oh i'm scary
Wesker's problem is being Wesker
oh i'm scary
sometimes you're just a fuck
Niamh Vibes
And he's in charge of Umbrella.....?
TTRPG DISCOURSE
None of that is sarcasm btw.
𝔳𝔢𝔫𝔡𝔯𝔢𝔡𝔦 𝔱𝔯𝔢𝔦𝔷𝔢
Wesker honestly never got fully explained until like. recently.
BF
No, Wesker is a rogue agent
TTRPG DISCOURSE
Rogue agent trying to claim what’s left because everyone else with senority died or went into hiding.
Niamh Vibes
And Ada also works for Wesker
BF
The main guy in charge of Umbrella is a rich old fuck named Spencer, but he was offscreen until 5 came out, so Wesker kind of became the Face of Umbrella in pop culture
moontouched
someone hurt wesker's feelings and he never got over it
Niamh Vibes
I remember Spencer!
Niamh Vibes
dude got wrecked quick
BF
Ada works for a Nebuluously Evil Organization that sometimes is allied with Wesker, sometimes against him- the full deal is explained in 6 but that game sucks
Ramases II
I know nothing about RE except that Wesker is a crazier, more mad-scienced up Revolver Ocelot
BF
People with the initials AW are just sneaky spy assholes in the RE setting
TTRPG DISCOURSE
Yeah the three heads were James Marcus (dead by Wesker and Birkin’s hands in RE0), the Ashford Family (dead by their own hands or the Redfields in RECV) and Oswell Spencer (dead by RE5 thanks to Wesker). There was also Sergei I think his name was, the genetic template for the Tyrants that Wesker also killed.
Quinnfernal
the lesson I'm getting here is
Quinnfernal
if you get offered a job as CEO of Umbrella
Quinnfernal
maybe turn it down
Niamh Vibes
If I was a billionaire in medical tech, I simply wouldn't take a job at the zombie company
Niamh Vibes
WHAT WAS
TTRPG DISCOURSE
Basically with them and the Birkins dead and his sister in hiding nobody but Wesker was left to claim what was left of Umbrella which wasn’t much.
Niamh Vibes
THE ACTUAL PLAN ACTUALLY
BF
Spencer wants to be immortal
BF
That’s what all the zombie research is
Niamh Vibes
AND TURNING PEOPLE INTO ZOMBIES WOULD DO THAT????
BF
Every bad thing that happens in the entire RE canon happens because an old rich guy is scared to die
Niamh Vibes
oh its westworld, okay
Niamh Vibes
anyway hot take
Niamh Vibes
I think Sheva should come back
Niamh Vibes
give her a chance in a not racist re
TTRPG DISCOURSE
Hey, some of it happened because Spencer set up the American and European branches to be competing with eachother for funding.
Niamh Vibes
classic spencer
TTRPG DISCOURSE
So they started sabotaging and assassinating eachother, which is how we got the Raccoon City Outbreak.
Niamh Vibes
UMBRELLA REALLY
Niamh Vibes
ALWAYS GOING 1000 PERCENT
TTRPG DISCOURSE
Reminder that, canonically, Umbrella wasn't undone by the countless PMC task forces hunting down rogue agents, or the gigantic half-decade long lawsuit they faced in the Supreme Court over the potential culpability in the Raccoon City Outbreak.
TTRPG DISCOURSE
They were proven to be guilty of a bunch of financial crimes and had their license to practice business and trade revoked so their stock tanked and bankrupted them.
Niamh Vibes
jesus
Ramases II
It's always tax evasion
