Things that make little or no sense in Resident Evil 4

Woah, my post was too long. Continued!

Hand tremors. Leon is supposedly a former cop and is a trained government agent and yet he can't hold his hands steady worth a ****. BS. DItto for the other characters.

The overgrown Dr. Salvador with a dual-bladed flaming chainsaw in the fourth Mercenaries stage. Where was he during the story?

The plagas on the Regenerators. You can see them only with the thermal scope, but if you shoot the same spots with the naked eye you won't kill the Regenerator faster.

The huge boulder interrupting the path to the next area, that you either need to blow up with TNT or with a rocket. The villagers clearly have been mining for a long time, did they just dig around and over this boulder on purpose? Look, when you get there, there are already 2 villagers on the other side waiting for you too so, yeah. What?

The herb vials. So not only Leon/Ada carry around obscene amounts of ammo, grenades and other things, they also have vials for putting the mixed herbs into.

The distinct lack of blue herbs. I know, there's the distinct lack of poisonous enemies as well, but still, blue herbs were always present regardless of anything, shouldn't they have grown anywhere in the game as part of the scenery? Do they HAVE to be an item in order to exist?

Also I get that herbs can heal wounds and cure poison, but how exactly can a yellow herb increase vitality?

The villager that stole Leon's jacket. His body doesn't melt after being killed. Furthermore, how come Leon never questioned the fact that someone stole his jacket and indeed never tried to find it again?

The merchant sells guns but not ammo or explosives, despite clearly having them in stock.

THE WHOLE MILITARY ISLAND. Need I say more?

I don't know if it has already been mentioned, but Why didn't Sadler just let Leon take Ashley back to America?

Besides the Required Resident Evil villain Ego Stroking and Toying with Victims.

It has been asked already, Saddler still needed to get the ransom money first.

I know AlexxShadenk777 mentioned the whole military island, but I had to point out the cuts of Rotten Meat that Leon was ready to grill up. I'm gonna chalk that one up to the parasite affecting his mind(I hope...).

Also, oven man? What the hell did he do to get put in there? He must've made a snarky comment about Saddler's dress or his Tenta-wang...

Leon didn't say he wanted to eat the rotten meat, if I remember the text right, he said "I could really go for a juicy steak right about now" or so. Semantics.

Ovenman was put in there just for kicks. It was a moment just to startle you a bit, didn't matter how or why he got into the oven.

One can assume the soldiers found him dead and didn't want to bury him so they put him in the oven instead and were too lazy to burn him completely, possibly because of the horrible smell. That kitchen really doesn't look like it smells too... fresh.

Maybe.

I got a few more things that made no sense, can you believe it?

Ada's Reports. If you read the small text in the top left corner of the screen, it says Visual Player. Shouldn't it say Video Player?

The entire course of Separate Ways... well I could list off the entire parts where there's a time paradox, namely everytime you pop a crate that Leon would pop again later, but whatever, it's a videogame. However, Krauser is first defeated by Leon, right. Later he appears befeore Ada, throwing a girder at her, which she dodges. Why isn't it there when Leon arrives? You clearly see it being thrown at Ada and it penetrates the ground, and you know at this point that Leon is progressing behind Ada by then. If it had indeed been left behind, it could've served as a foreshadowing element for when you get there the first time and investigate the girder, and wonder how'd it get embedded in the ground like this.

Secondly, what, did Krauser get resurrected by the plaga? Is he a zombie now? And if he is... how he is able to still say "Come on!" at Ada in between stages of the fight?

Also another thing that makes little sense, Krauser's so easily damaged by the knife, dying after very few slashes. Every other boss in the game has great endurance to the knife, but not Krauser. Hmm...

Here's another thing. Ada's grappling hook gun. It's gotta be the most unbelievably durable hook gun ever made, with a seemingly infinite rope and powerful enough to not just lift and pull a fully grown woman, but also SLING her across a great distance with enough force to not let gravity pull her down, all of this in a gun the size of a normal pistol. And it does not seem to use any kind of pressured gas or gunpowder, I suppose it also runs on batteries (and is possibly also solar-powered and chargeable but I digress).

That, gentlemen, is hardcore science right there. Money well spent. Imagine being able to shoot this thing FREELY throughout the entire game. Just Cause 2, anyone?

Meanwhile Leon has a grappling hook that he conveniently only used once and was never mentioned ever again for the rest of the game, but, pfft, it's only good enough to suspend a person for a little while. Ada's hook gun is the real friggin deal!
