At the start of the game, you'll choose between Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine. This choice significantly impacts your playthrough. Jill Valentine is recommended for beginners. She starts with a Lock Pick, allowing access to certain areas earlier, and has 8 inventory slots. She also receives more assistance from Barry Burton. Chris Redfield is the harder option. He starts with only 6 inventory slots and no Lock Pick, meaning he must find Small Keys. However, Chris has higher health and can take more damage, making him more resilient in direct combat. His story also features Rebecca Chambers, who can heal him. Choose wisely based on your desired challenge level.
