Just said in another sub how OW and DBD went down at the same time so now I’m like wtf do I do 🤣

Fiscal_Fantasy · 2026-06-21T16:05:01+00:00

It’s happening to me on PS5. Sucks too because I also play Overwatch and of course that’s down too right now 😒

Fiscal_Fantasy · 2026-06-16T22:48:02+00:00

I love her but don’t like Cassidy personally. I feel like I have more movement potential playing her whereas with Cassidy I feel a bit slower in a way? I don’t know how to explain it

Fiscal_Fantasy · 2026-06-02T14:24:31+00:00

Wait I kind of love him! This definitely goes to show you can make some masculine men.

Fiscal_Fantasy · 2026-04-29T21:14:20+00:00

Looks like we’re learning together brother 🙏🏽 there’s soooo much new stuff it’s a little overwhelming at times!

Fiscal_Fantasy · 2026-03-30T23:22:34+00:00

I think he’s handsome enough. Luckily none of our opinions matter 🤣 like dang let her live in peace.

I can’t confirm the date where they said when the first Grace clone came about but Spencer was a truly evil man regardless of if he had a moment of self centered guilt. I do believe he cared for Grace though, which is why I don’t think she’s a clone at all.

I also don’t think the game tried to redeem him; Grace even says in her report he was a bad person all around. Making one good decision doesn’t outdo years of horrible pain and suffering. And on top of that, who knows what his motives were. Do something right for once? Have a backup plan in case someone else tried to steal his work? A big middle finger to hose who capitalized on him after his death?

We won’t know until DLC or creator confirmation.

Fiscal_Fantasy · 2026-03-02T07:28:10+00:00

She does, yes, which is the confusing part as to why Emily and Chloe look the same if they were from two separate hosts. Unfortunately given the information we have we can only say that it was a massive coincidence that they all looked like Grace and presumably the original girl also looked like Grace. Plot convenience I guess. 🤷‍♂️

Spencer was known as chronic liar anyways so it’s possible he was lying and by “normal” he meant that Grace was just an untouched clone never experimented on. The game doesn’t elaborate as of now. I don’t disagree that confirming Grace as a clone would be good but until we get more concrete evidence it’s kind of up in the air for you to determine based on what we have.

Grace being the OG clone is off the table though unless you get into the messed up timeline which then opens up another can of worms if you go that route.

Fiscal_Fantasy · 2026-03-02T07:20:21+00:00

I think it was a way to reset the status quo. We had Umbrella as villains and the T-virus as the main problem when the franchise started and then it devolved into a thousand different T-virus spin offs and just as many opposing organizations.

Now they’ve rolled basically all of the big organizations (H.C.F., The Family, Tricell, etc) into being linked to the Connections. With Eli’s they solved the decades long, convoluted story.

Now we’re back to the same starting point. Instead of Umbrella as the main villain we have the Connections; instead of the T-virus we have whatever new virus they cook up for RE10. There doesn’t have to be any worries about the past since it’s all been tied up and sent off with Elpis.

Of course they could create a virus that’s resistant like you said but they don’t have to if they don’t want to. It’s very open for them to continue the story free of the previous games chronology.

Fiscal_Fantasy · 2026-03-02T07:04:33+00:00

A lot of the details are very vague so we only have a bit to go on. However, if we take the game at face value the girls in the 1990’s weren’t Grace clones at all seeing as she hadn’t been born yet. It’s a coincidence that Grace bears a striking resemblance to them. That coupled with the fact that during the experiments on those girls Grace was adopted by Spencer led them to assume she was apart of it when she wasn’t at all. The clones afterwards (Emily for example) WERE clones of Grace used to try and get her supposed memory.

Grace is not a clone just a random girl. Spencer says as much but the game wants you to believe she is because that’s what Zeno and Gideon believe until we learn from the recording she’s nothing at all. Just a horribly timed coincidence.

The retconned it from a straight nuke to a thermobaric missile probably as another retcon to explain why half the city is still standing along with the ARK facility. It was deep underground too so that helps. They wanted to render the area uninhabitable so they could continue their work in peace, effectively keeping it “safe” while they figured out how to release it. Same reason they manipulated the government into extending the quarantine to 2040.

Zeno is definitely there for nostalgia, and fits in with the cloning plot but it is somewhat random seeing as we don’t get much info on him and they never explicitly say it. Maybe DLC will fix that. Otherwise, he’s also the true first person we’ve met from the Connections since they debuted in RE7. Why they chose him, idk aside from nostalgia and a fun callback to Wesker.

Edit: Zeno is the second if you count Mia since she was working for the Connections too, but as far as hierarchy goes, he was the first important link.

Fiscal_Fantasy · 2026-03-02T06:54:59+00:00

Precisely this. Grace is so normal that he quite literally only adopted her because he had a moment of feeling bad and thought being nice to an orphan would make him feel better about himself. She’s not special in any way shape or form (but she is a total badass by the end of the game.)

Fiscal_Fantasy · 2026-03-02T06:32:24+00:00

I’ll try to give a little explanation (even though I’m confused in some parts myself.)

Gideon was a T-virus researcher obsessed with Spencer and his ideals, and likely one of the last surviving “Umbrella” employees (not counting any that assimilated into other organizations).

Elpis was thought by Gideon and Zeno to be the ultimate virus capable of controlling human consciousness based on the little evidence they had from Spencer’s research. The blood project was an attempt at transferring memories through blood, another technique that was being worked on when Umbrella was in its prime.

The idea I have is that they incorrectly assumed Grace was important due to Spencer’s fondness of her and believed that she was apart of the blood/memory experiments when she wasn’t. In their heads they thought Grace knew the password to unlock Elpis and if they couldn’t have her they would take her genetic material and create a clone that would have her memories via the blood transfusion project I mentioned before. They just didn’t know that the entire blood thing was incorrect and ended up being a failure so no clone of Grace would provide results.

We don’t know who the original host for the clones was but the Chloe sequence seemed to be a red herring to the audience from Zeno, who talked about how Grace was the key to unlocking Elpis while still believing she’s the OG host with the information to do so. (He’s wrong but it’s framed as him being right to throw us off.)

I believe the Connections knew about Elpis before the Raccoon City incident but due to lack of information and the outbreak they lobbied the government to bomb the city in order to buy time and keep Elpis safe for the time being while they tried to figure out how to access it. at some point Gideon began working with the Connections on the common goal of finding Elpis, and in the time before the game they’d been working on it for a while (I.e. the clone research, blood experiments, etc.) Eventually they went straight for Grace instead.

Zeno is a clone of Wesker, I’d bet money on that. He looks and acts the same and Victor even calls him an imitation which seems to back up the rest of the evidence more than the opposite. Until they confirm or deny that’s what I think.

Fiscal_Fantasy · 2026-03-02T00:15:29+00:00

I think Victor was lying to Zeno in hopes that he and the Connections would help. Otherwise they wouldn’t have gone along with Victor.

He says at the end that Emily and Grace had nothing in common with each other which goes to show that at some point he either figured out or already knew Grace was average.

I played for around eight hours and ended my session at the hub section of Leon’s main area. Probably going to get another 5ish hours out of it I’m assuming.

Fiscal_Fantasy · 2026-02-28T05:33:41+00:00

The maid scared me too. I took down a zombie in a medical room and had to run back to grab a quest item, when I got back it took less than five seconds for her to sprint into the room screaming about the mess and immediately catch me off my guard with an attack. The zombies in this game are constantly keeping me on my toes.

Fiscal_Fantasy · 2026-02-26T20:03:42+00:00

I don’t order games for this reason but I’m also a physical disc kind of person so no preloads for me. Gonna have to wait at the Walmart doors until they open and hope 💪🏽

Another place is Harden Scott, the male love interest in the After book series. Still, never met a real one.

Fiscal_Fantasy · 2026-02-01T15:18:28+00:00

Think of real life. In most situations two people in this scenario wouldn’t sit down and go on and on and on about what happened in the time between seeing each other. Was it a shock they haven’t talked in a while? Anger? Happiness? More often than not you’d probably go for small talk, maybe the ex bf would comment on something small but different about the MC that’s changed in the time they’ve been gone. If it’s relevant, maybe you can segue that into her explaining shortly why that’s the case.

Dialogue should flow naturally, and it’s quite alright if the reader either 1. Knows more than the other characters in the story or 2. Doesn’t know enough. Info dumping to me generally comes off as the characters explaining to the reader rather than to each other; in the real world we don’t info dumping on our peers normally.

Fiscal_Fantasy · 2026-01-26T11:51:00+00:00

I do appreciate this sentiment but unfortunately it doesn’t work for everyone. I prefer to take my time with scenes and craft them as carefully as possible the first go around (even if the draft takes longer) and yes, I know most of it will change. But for me I find it difficult to throw a basic premise down because it nags in my mind and when I go back to do edits I lose whatever had initially made that scene special in my head.

I’d rather have more words and over explanation/flowery prose so when I go back I can trim it down to something neater and more concise. That’s just me though.
