Havent played Requiem yet but I must ask, with the least amount of spoilers, do they ever explain how this T-Virus syndrome nonsense works? And how the hell it wasnt detected before? Hell, why the hell this isnt affecting the STARS survivors minus Jill, who we know would have theorically have the T-Virus residing in their bodies for longer than even RC survivors? And what prevents just some basic T-Virus vaccine from countering it (since at this point, the T Virus is easily one of the most known and researched viruses after R.C)?
I know RE's plot is no stranger to retcons but this one feels particularly bizarre and ass pull-sh, all just to have "Oh beloved legacy character is dying!" (which is like, second or third time this happened to Leon).
Besides, we knew from the start they wouldnt kill Leon, newcomers are far more likely to kick the bucket than legacy characters.
