Some things are eternally etched into your psyche.
The last sunset of your favourite beach holiday.
The wafting scent of your grandma’s cooking.
The gravelly drawl ofResident Evil 4’s merchant asking “Whaddya buyin?”
Think Cordyceps, but before it was cool.
In my moment of need, Leon and I needed an ally.
This walking enigma was a seemingly unassuming traveller like you.
and triumphantly telling you he’ll buy your treasures at a high price created a neural connection.
That voice means not only safety, but a material advantage against the oncoming horde.
But the merchant has never been reprised elsewhere as he’s only in Resident Evil 4.
And given the easter egg referencing him inResident Evil Village, I was convinced of his return.
I was bitterly disappointed.
It’s like how everyone has their own Bond or Doctor Who, I suppose.
