This is a list of things I found quite strange when I played the game to death.

1) How come Barry is always behind a locked door?
2) What the hell is the wooden mount for?
3) Who locked chris/jill (depending on who u are playing with) in the cell?
4) Who lit all the candles in the mansion!?
5)How did they get the piano into the piano room when the hallway is that small
6) How does Richard get bitten by Yawn when it's behind a locked door, with the key hidden behind a clock which is only accesible by playing the piano and switching the emblems?
7) -Who filled all the bathtubs with water?
8) If Lisa's so strong, why are her hands bound together?
9) WHO RIGS A COFFIN TO FOUR MASKS... HONESTLY?!
10) If Jill is so smart, why can't SHE fix a doorknob?
11) Why can't I shove a survival knife into a zombie's head like I can with a dagger?
12)Why can't I pull a dagger out of a zombie's head?
13)Why does a key take up as much space as an assault shotgun? Doesn't Chris of Jill have any POCKETS for them?
14)Why doesn't Chris know how to play the piano? It's a very useful skill!
15)Why do Barry and Jill think it's such a GREAT idea to split up all the time?
16)Why is it that big strong Chris isn't strong enough to carry as much stuff as Jill?
17)Why would Wesker send Chris to investigate gunshots with only a knife when Jill is RIGHT THERE with a gun?
18)At what point in time did Umbrella think a giant zombie shark would be helpful at all?
19)Why is it that none of these "scientists" ever thought to spray themselves with first aid spray and not become zombies
20)How come there is a transparent creature in the fountain?
If it is transparent, surely they wont be able to see it?
21)Why cant Chris or Jill shoot the lock off a door??
22)What use would Umbrella have with a 30 foot snake?
23)Why did they make a Mansion with so many traps??
24)If George Trevor was trapped down in his 'grave' and couldnt get out, why didnt he check the grave with the button on it. It took me one look at the grave and it told me there was a button. He was stuck down there for days and didnt notice the button??
25)Why does everyone write a diary?
26)If there are that many scientists, how do they all fit into the 2 beds in the game?
27)How does lisa get from her little cave to the place where she kills herself?
28)Why is a magnum considered more powerful than a grenade launcher?
29)How come Barry only needs one Magnum, whereas I can only find an extra 18 bullets for mine?
30)Why is a scientific research mansion filled with bullets in strange places like under a chest in a hallway full of zombie dogs?
31)Why dont they lock up the weapons AND the ammo together?
32)If you can only get the grenade launcher from forest, why is there ammo for a weapon you could not otherwise use scattered accross the mansion?
33)If Umbrella did use its biological weapons to, say invade another country, how would they then rid the country of zombies and tyrants in the first place?
34)If you trust barry and give him his gun, why are you still nice to him without demanding an explanation, instead of turning your back to him and walking on ahead?
35)If there are only a few dogs outside, and lots of zombies, dogs, tyrant, lisa etc inside... which way would you go?
36)If these S.T.A.R.S members are specially trained, why is it so hard and why do you have to be so close to take a headshot?
37)If I have an assault shotgun AND a grenade launcher with 240 rounds, why is it still too dangerous to go outside?
38)Why doesn't Ken turn into a Zombie, even though he's had his throat ripped out by one...
39)Why the hell doesn't Jill go after the guy who shoots Enrico... instead she just stands there, fool!
40)Why would a guest house need a ballroom?
41)why didnt the alphas take weapons and stuff off the bravos chopper?
42)why were 10 people killed by the mansion, you'd think that after people found out that one person died they'd stay away from there.
43)How did all the hunters get into the mansion, and why didnt the zombies eat them?
44)How was an amazing virus such as the T-virus developed in a tiny little lab like the one below the mansion.
45)Why so many puzzles? i dont think old man spencer would want to fight a snake, and do other stuff just to get to his tool shed.
46)Lisa can break through a statue, but not her shackles?
47)Why don't the zombies eat each other?( You can get them to attack one another)
48)Why does only one dog jump the fence where the herbicide is?
49)Why are the crows inside the house, but not outside?
50)If the way to get to the laboratory is filled with water, why aren't the electronics fried?
51)Where does Lisa fall into?
52)Why does the rocket launcher blow up the Tyrant, but not the zombies, dogs, Chimera's, hunters, crows, snakes, or spiders? And Lisa. As I recall, Lisa is affected by the G- Virus, and the T-Virus, why isn't she blown up too. The rocket launcher blew up Tyrant. Why not Lisa?
53)Why is there a zombie in a bathtub full of water, and why does he come out only after you empty it. (wouldnt he drown)
54)If the zombies can jump through windows at enormous hights, why cant they jump in a room?
55) Where do the crimson heads go after the hunters arrive
56) In the Lisa Trevor note, she says that the casket with her mother in it is locked by some chain connecting to some statues. Why doesnt she just knock the statues off herself?
57) Who the hell makes a huge aqua ring in the bottom of a mansion, full of sharks?
58) How would they get the sharks out of the aqua ring if they were to unleash them?
59)Does Lisa sleep in her bed?
60) There is so much ammo in a mansion with no guns
61) how did Richard get down into the aqua ring without moving the bookcase covering the stairs.
62) Why dont the zombies turn on Wesker?
63) If the mansion really is just a "lock" for the lab underneath, then why leave clues everywhere?
64) Furthermore, why not just give one of their most trusted employees a password or two and leave it at that?
65) In a lab with such difficult work such as creating biological damaging viruses,how come you done see ONE single employee of the month award!
66) Who keeps resetting the pushable furniture?!
67) Where do all the 'dead' bodies go
68) Why would a Tactial Rescue Team go into a dangerous situation without Assault Rifles?
69) How did Forest get out on the balcony? The door's locked!

Well, thats about all I can think of at the moment! Your welcome to start a thread if you want! If anyone out there is REALLY bored you can try and answer all 69 questions, how about that for a challenge!

where was that?

In the courtyard opposite the waterfall/cave entrance - you examine the fountain and it says "A transparent creature is swimming around here" or something..... Have a look!

Ah, I see. I skipped that cut scene by accident. I wondered at the time why the zombie was dead and Jill was at the toilet, but I assumed the zombie had got her into the corner when Barry had burst in and shot it.....or something.

Well when you enter the bathroom on the right hand side of the mansion and pull the plug out of the bath tub a Zombie comes out. Jill stamps on its head and then runs off to the toilet to throw up.

Yeah, I think that was kinda the point.

> Who wants to make viruses for a living anyway?

Someone who doesn't have a job. Someone who's passion is science and wants to make new discoveries in the field. A lot of Umbrella employees didn't know they were working on a zombie virus but working on a cure, due to the fact that research is similar for both. If you read Wesker's Report 1 and 2 it'll tell you everything from 1967 onwards.

> Why isnt there any lab rats? I want lab rats!

Well....rats smell.

> Why the snakes?

Why not?

> Why does wesker wear sunglasses on a night mission? jackass!

To look cool. It's one of the clues that he's just too smooth and chilled out about the whole incident.

> Does anyone else think Barry looks stoned? his eyes!!!

Well that's just how you interpret it...

> between them?

Well they aren't all gonna roll up a spliff during a mission are they? (Except Barry maybe...). Also it's a crime to enter someone's house without permission or a permit so they wouldn't be needing lockpicks.

He has no car.

> Why (in the residence) have they left an unfinished snooker game as a

Because it's more interesting and can be misinterpretted a lot easier. It can also be disturbed.

> How come Barry always makes Jill jump, yet none of the zombies or
> giant spiders etc do?

I never really saw Jill jump any more at Barry than she did at the zombies.
