The Mansion you start off in wasn't built until after they were infected and controlled by Eveline (they were very much evil and insane during this time).

They were living in the old house when they first found Eveline, but it got flooded.

The Bakers were involved with the Plantation proper well before Eveline, who arrived in 2014. You find a journal of Jacks in the Rec Room upstairs, and in the attic there's a contract for Trevor and whatever from Jack to build the shadow doors in 1992/1993.

Lucas' childhood room he still resides in, Jacks Marine Corps photo, and more show that the Bakers resided in the Plantation as well for some time prior.

The Morgue may have been a family business next to likely Plantation tours.

So if the Bakers were a peaceful family after all, why did they have a fucking morgue in the basement? We know that they are hunters, but animals are usually hung and not put in a drawer in a cold store. They also had a prison down there. I think all of that was build before Eveline turned them into monsters, because the map of the building clearly has those places named accordingly.

The only glimpse we have of the Bakers outside of Eve's control is the dream/flashback Ethan has in the ship and that paints them in a very 'innocent victims' light, as does Ethan's narration at the end.

There is a piece of DLC that is supposed to show the Bakers before everything happens, that should give us a better idea.
 
Well, and homicidal Lucas and the aforementioned (right above your post) where the mansion/morgue/secrets were crafted in the 90's by Trevor & Chamberlain.

The more I read and try to connect pieces the more I think at the end of the day we're going to be left with a stand-alone title with old names and themes thrown in as fan service that got us all hyped up but lead to nothing.

The bakers are totally all evil and jack was a lying fuck in that dream scene you all fell for.

Were they kidnapping and murdering people before they met Eveline?

I only know of Lucas being evil beforehand. The only thing that makes me question Jack is the fact that Zoe seemed really uncomfortable and walking away when Jack touched her proclaiming that none of them were killers.

I wonder if Lucas was a serial killer and the Baker parents were covering up his deeds. There's no way they couldn't smell the body in the attic. There are no remains there either, which means that they were cleaned out. There's also the weirdness with them hiding weird passages all over their house as if the house is designed to keep people inside trapped other than them.

At the very least they 100% had a prison beneath their guest house years before all this happened.

And a processing area with a morgue and other interesting features beneath their main house. AND they hid their shit with weird contraptions to keep people in/out of these places that were all built in the 90s.

And Jack was buying suspicious stuff locally before this all happened too. The Bakers went completely missing after they picked up Eveline, but there's a couple receipts around the house they had been picking up some... Interesting things from the local stores beforehand.

As you mentioned, when Jack is giving the whole "None of us are killers, boy" speech and Jack puts his hand on her lap, Zoe gets really uncomfortable and moves away.

Lucas of course was up to some shit way before this all happened too.

Sounds like the bedroom is the best part. The bonuses modes aren't holding a candle to mercs and raid apparently.
Click to expand...

The bedroom part is brilliant. Like a more elaborate "Happy Birthday" puzzle. Nightmare is fun, reminds me a lot of COD Zombies (Which I really like!)

Ethan Must Die, I played for about 5 seconds and died in the first section and haven't went back to it yet. Overall, it hasn't made me regret buying the season pass and looking forward to Volume 2.
 
How's ethan must die?
I know the basic rules,but do you have to play the entire game like that? or is it inside some kind of arena or whatever?
 
Bedroom = Really good and definetly felt like it was cut from the main game in some way.
Nightmare = Okay horde mode thing similar to zombies from COD. Not really my bag.
Ethan Must Die = Remixed area with Souls elements. I got one shotted in the first room D:

I completed my no chest/herb run today. Just got to do madhouse and all the collectibles.
 
I between we are going to see some crazy ass reveals in the Not a Hero DLC too many nods at Ethan not being as normal as he is perceived.

Marguerite's kill animation in the bedroom DLC is the most fucked up thing in the game.


SERIOUSLY
Click to expand...
There's a glitch where her face doesn't animate sometimes. Had it on both PC and PS4, when she did this. Kind of ruined it, although I'd seen it before.
MiamiWesker said:
So how is the DLC? I am PC so I get shafted. Is it the post game survival mode that most RE games have?
Click to expand...
Pretty OK, Bedroom's decent, Nightmare's solid although it's no Mercs.

I don't think I'll be putting much time into Ethan Must Die, though.
 
duder92 said:
Do we know how long the Bedroom DLC is?
Click to expand...
It's one giant puzzle, so it really just depends on how long it takes you to figure it out.

It definitely took me longer than fifteen minutes, since I died halfway through and also spent a few minutes not knowing what the hell to do.
 
in regards to the open less than 3 chests achievement...

you open one in the beginning (to grab ur albert or whatever u need) then the second time when u meet jack and go in the birthday room..so that's two." mandatory. u just never open that shit up again huh?

and u guys think the dlc is worth it or can we wait?

If you're going for the 3 chest run. I would suggest just not opening a chest until Lucas forces you to. This way, you can open the chest after the ship area to get all of your stuff.

Nah, that's not worth it. Better to get your Infinite ammo and circular saw at the start and then run through the caves with 4 flare rounds.

It slowly takes over the body, the word slowly has nothing to do with the regenerative abilities. Once it does take over the body, you mutate.

Also, the note specifically says the subject coapts the amputated limb, not that it grows a new one. Coapting means joining, not growing a new one. And the knife wound is still in your hand after you fight Mia in the guest house. You can see it when you place your hand in a wall.
Click to expand...
You clearly see the wound close up when you first use the first aid. And again, it's an advertised feature of the product. They're magic healing items.
 
I can't get the "Open your eyes" trophy to pop. I've consumed the psychostimulants in every play through but no luck. I'm currently in my madhouse run. Advice?
 
Third time through the ship. I never want to see a ship in an RE again. From now on, I'll just do up to the mutant Jack fight on replays.

Yeah it just gets worse and worse with every play through. For me it's mainly because of that god awful
SMG
and unskippable VHS segment. I think the area that comes after isn't that bad though.

The machine gun's recoil and accuracy seem to get worse with each playthrough

On the plus side, the weapons beside the handgun (excluding the Albert) all have just enough visceral heft. The shooting feels good.

It's really well done. Everything feels 'chunky', for lack of a better word. I even liked the pistol - it looked solid. The shotgun. The satisfying click-click when reloading the flamethrower. The clack of reloading the SMG. The look of the grenade launcher.

It's great.
 
I hate the Albert.

Like are you trying to be a pistol or magnum? Because you suck at being both. The clip is only 3 rounds making it a shit pistol, then the damage output isn't anywhere near as good as a magnum.

Gun is conflicted on what it wants to be
