SPOILER FOR RAYMOND:
--- The villagers are all infected with an independently created parasite - "Las Plagas" or "Plague". Basically, it renders them under the complete control of a central authority - a religious cult run by a man named Osmund Saddler. As this entire scheme comes into focus, Ada Wong - a character from Resident Evil 2 (you're playing as Leon, one of the main characters from that game) shows up with her own agenda for retrieving the parasite. As it turns out, she (and other mercenaries - RE2's Krauser included) are all working for Ray Wesker, who's obviously working on getting Umbrella back on its feet. Naturally, the Plagas is a messy beast - it has a tendency to grow and mutate in its hosts to the point of popping out of their bodies as big spidery monstrosities or waving, bladed tentacles. Its most advanced carriers turn into gigantic monsters. It only stands to reason Umbrella would want their hands on this, since the T-Virus brought them down previously and is banned (as explained in the beginning of the game). The crux of this whole plot is your mission to rescue the daughter of the President, to whose security detail you've been assigned. She's been kidnapped by the aforementioned cultists, and you only "rescue" her about 1/5 of the way through the game, you've got to fight your way through the rest of the game with her along for the ride. She's not much more than an extra target for bad guys and a hindrance to fighting. It changes the game dynamic to have someone else along whom you have to protect, but she comes across as little more than a reason for the character designers to insert a little pneumatic eye candy into the game. - Jim Raymond Camden wrote: >Jim, while the game looked cool, I probably won't get around to >playing it.
