What if Alex is a hero?
Jake and Alex would be the new Chris and Leon

Wesker Squad!
punching zombies to the death since 2013

jk

but seriously, I don't think Alex is a bad person

[Dracarys]

You don't think experimenting on innocent people and killing them makes someone a bad person?

[Pikminister]

So it IS the Cigarette Smoking Man!

Almost there, we need to see him smokin'...

But I figured out myself that he was a badge or g-man by looking at that image of him posted here days ago. He just looked like a typical authority figure.

Fact is, Alex Wesker is important to the storyline, whether you personally think it's a good plot point or not. He was written into BH5, then expanded on in Lost In Nightmares to set up his appearance, and as it turns out, he's responsible for the entire story in BH5. Apparently has a virus that can make anyone immortal (pretty big deal as it turns out) and has been missing for 7 years. You can't just write that off (hurr durr DLC). CAPCOM have included vital aspects of the series plot in more obscure places. The DLC isn't even obscure. It sold rather well.

Unless he is being factored into another game akin to Revelations, he has to appear in BH6 because it's an outstanding plot thread that needs to be tied up. Although the same can be said for Ada Wong and her "organization".

Nah Wesker 2.0 doesn't really sound that important. The campaign was fine when Spencer said Albert was the only survivor... Well, it's the least damage that could be done for the Wesker Children. Alex is just the kind of character that is thrown into the corner at the last minute and to make him seem essential they just throw in some ambiguity to the DLC. It's the kind of half ass sloppy writing that should be left in the corner and never looked back.

And if he's not in RE6 that kind of dampens your claims that he "has" to be. Refer back to the 'opinions' remark. He really doesn't "have" to be in the game I'm afraid no matter how much you'd like him to be. Kind of works both ways you see. And thus far your leading candidate turned out to be a new character all around. Hell, they'd rather make another Wesker in the form of his son which is already silly enough than to promote any kind of idea of Alex showing up. It seems like with the rise in Albert's popularity comes all these ridiculous connections to him that show up out of nowhere. But the last thing we need is another Wesker showing up. Even if it is to "get it out of the way".

Causing an entire game's events and having a major part in 3 years of the timeline isn't important? Calling a character you know nothing about "Wesker 2.0" just because he has the same surname is foolish. Wesker was never the only survivor. That was an outright lie by Spencer, if not something the translators just threw in. Alex is mentioned right in the main game. He just got expanded in Lost In Nightmares, which was written right before or when BH6 began development. He's not "another Wesker". He's not even connected to Albert Wesker. The only thing that even remotely links them is that they have the same surname.

I love all the conclusions you jump to when you know next to nothing about the story. They are entertaining at the very least. There isn't even any clarification that Muller is Albert Wesker's son, and all signs point to "no" so far.

And I have still not heard a reason why the "Wesker Children" is bad.

"Causing an entire game's events"

Alex cause what?

Besides Jake was already confirmed to be Wesker's son.

Alex screwing over Spencer is the reason Spencer got Albert to come to him. If Alex hadn't screwed over Spencer, we'd be fighting an immortal, youthful Spencer in BH5 rather than Albert Wesker. Albert would not have gone off the deep end of sanity and started his Uroboros Project if he had never been led to Spencer.

Also, Muller is "alleged" to be Wesker's son. Very important. The only place where he isn't "alleged" is in an interview where someone was interpreting.

Using that logic you could claim old age on Spencers part caused RE5. Or any of the events that led to Umbrellas downfall since without that Alex would have worked somewhere more under control of Spencer.

Not really, old age isn't a person with the ability to intervene, betray and desert. Alex was Spencer's right-hand man. He was the single closest person to him even before Umbrella's downfall.

[Dracarys]

Nemesis caused RE5 also, if it didn't infect Jill then Carlos would never have given her a vaccine, years later she would never have got the anti-bodies and Uroboros would never have been 'weak' enough to not kill everyone.

Fact is a load of things caused RE5, there is no single one thing, or one person. RE5 did fine before Alex and his betrayel were inserted in a file in DLC.

In all the interviews I've seen or read, the developpers always presented Muller to be Wesker's son as a fact. They even went as far as to say that Wesker abandoned his family. I don't think they're going to reveal in the game that Jake has nothing to do with Albert.

Indeed, yet that wasn't my point. I was just pointing out the fact that he is important, and was presented as such. It doesn't matter at all whether or not it was mentioned in DLC.

And that can always be misdirection and/or mistranslation given that they're being vague about it elsewhere, and there's no actual visual indication that there is any relation between Muller and Wesker and it contradicts the latter's history and own words. Albert's "cursed blood" isn't even unique.

Chris thinks he recognises him, that is a visual indication.

Extremely convincing when they look literally nothing alike.

It's possible, but I don't think that's the case.

I don't think it contradicts anything. Wesker could very well have had a girlfriend (more a sex-friend knowing good old Al') for a brief period, during his time as an intelligence officer for example. And as soon as the girlfriend wanted to get more serious about their relationship, he left her. Who knows?

Albert's "cursed blood" isn't even unique.

For sure, but Wesker is the only person with a "cursed blood" they know of for unknown reason (Ada's organisation perhaps). So it's natural for them to chase his son rather than some random people they aren't aware of.
