RE Village’s plot is a lot more tenuous than its predecessor as well. I never expected a total biographical flashback for each of them, but I did want to know their motivations beyond Mother Miranda’s wishes. Dimetrescu is big and angry Heisenberg is a rebel and angry Moreau is ugly, dumb, and angry and Donna is asocial and angry. Because of this, none of them are really given the room to develop as characters, which leaves them feeling very one-dimensional. Instead of being a unified front, Ethan very methodically deals with each of the antagonists one at a time. The problem is that each of the four house leaders is relegated to its own territory, so each only gets a small bit of screen time. With as much attention as Lady Dimetrescu received, she’s woefully underutilized, as are the rest of the antagonists other than the most boring one, Mother Miranda. As he tries to find his daughter and figure out why Chris did what he did, Ethan becomes entangled in the machinations of the village’s leader and religious icon, Mother Miranda, and her “children,” the four heads of the local great houses: Lady Alcina Dimetrescu, Karl Heisenberg, Salvatore Moreau, and Donna Beneviento. When Ethan awakens, he’s on the outskirts of a mysterious village, which he discovers is under siege by what seem to be werewolves.
