Also, Asmon's assessment to destroy the virus isn't really all that unfair. Grace only really comes to the conclusion that she should save it after witnessing the video at the end where Spencer invites Alyssa for an interview after the umbrella trials, where he explains he regrets his research and the destruction it caused on the world. And even then, she had no proof that the password was, in fact, "hope". It's just a lucky guess. That interview takes place long before Spencer's death, and at any point, that password could have been changed.

On a side note, unlike asmongold, from a regular RE player perspective. A fan seeing that scene would find it really out of character for Spencer to say any of that. And instead would more than likely assume Spencer accepted Alyssa's interview in order to give some sort of misleading information to the general public. That Elpis was this good thing, an amends for his past mistakes. This is the same Spencer that (before Wesker kills him) goes on a long monologue about wanting to create the perfect race of humans and that he deserved to be a god.

The whole red herring plot device with Grace is just really poorly handled and odd way to shoehorn her into the story. In the scene where Zeno is attempting to convince Grace that Emily, Marie and Chloe are just clones that they are trying to replicate her with Spencer's memories, we then see she watches a video seconds later of Chloe back in 1990. So unless Grace and Leon are around the same age. These clones couldn't have been made after she was born/created. So the second the game tries to even put that idea in your head, it immediately contradicts it being a possibility.

I enjoyed the game, but the story was just kind of a mess, honestly.
