Ethan still looks like such a nobody.

I hope we never get to see Ethan's face. Even in future installments his face is always obscured, out of frame, or hidden in shadow even in broad daylight.

I'm still waiting for the twist that Ethan is actually a Wesker or something. The fact they don't even show his face is very suspicious. 🤔

Why are they all in shadows? Not much of a reveal when you can't really see the designs lol

I don't like their jackets that much, and yeah, Ethan is still so anonymous (in a boring way)

So glad Resident Evil is back to practical, non-action hero designs!

To have a boring uninteresting character that the player has zero emotional investment in? Cause if that's the goal then cool I guess.
It's called an audience surrogate. And it's better then the garbage trash anime characters they turned Chris and Leon into.

He's meant to be just a vessel for the character to insert themselves into. Was one of the design decisions when going first person.

Laughing at people who don't get the point that Ethan is supposed to be boring and the "everyman", and that the whole point is that an ordinary person against the odds is infinitely more interesting than most Resident Evil superheroes.

OP, now that you mention Alan Wake... It reminded me of a thread a few months (years?) ago that questioned the use of a jacket over a hoodie. 😅

The way Ethan has everyone bothered while also serving Plank from Ed, Edd n Eddy... not many people can do that.
