If the president's daughter was kidnapped, why did he send one man, armed with a handgun, to find her? And a personal friend at that?

There was a traitor high up in the government and very few people even knew she was kidnapped. One of the files talks about it.

Edit:
https://www.evilresource.com/resident-evil-4/files/info-on-ashley

The kidnapper's motives are still unknown. Although there's reliable information that the perpetrator is an insider.

Only a handful of people know about this kidnapping. It's been kept under wraps mostly due to the fact that we can't determine who the traitor is.

The guys in intelligence say they have reliable information that Ashley's been sighted somewhere in Europe. But until we find out who the insider is, I don't know what to believe. It could be a ploy.

To not start an international incident?

I'm confident the president could've sent a large group of trained secret soldiers and probably no one would've known. Whichever country receives the daughter has a lot to answer for anyway.

You'd figure Leon or especially Hunnigan would've said something. Their lead pointed to Spain.

Different people sent to different countries and nobody knew about the other is an effective way of finding the mole.

Perhaps. Krasuer kidnapped her but he wasn't the mole?

Even still, it's still bizarre, there should've been a covert strike team of a score of people, at least.

Oh wait, wasn't Leon friends with the president from RE6? President Graham (presumably) was RE4 but I think it was President Benford.

The intel you get at the start of the game is only that someone saw someone who looks like Ashley in this random, primitive-for-some-reason village in Spain.

Rural Europe is pretty... well, not primitive so much as... quaint? Has a rustic charm to it? You won't find google fiber and a 4000k updated super gaming pc there or anything.

Wish I had this game right now to play it. Or wait I'll just go outside now and pretend to be on a mission. BRB going to the forest, I'll radio in after I secure the target.

Easily one of the top five most criminally overrated games ever made and one that destroyed a beloved survival horror franchise.

If the game just had to exist, it should have been as its own completely separate IP. Not as a Resident Evil game because nothing about it has anything to do with Resident Evil.

They didnt send one man.

Leon had those two officers in the beginning, the chopper that got destroyed in Chapter 2-2 (You never see it. Ingrid just tells you about it.), and Mike in Chapter 5-4.

If they made the two police guys last longer, maybe act as some sort of support or recon, it wouldnt have felt as if Leon was on his own.

lmao, shut up

Its in the top 10 of most influential games of its decade, probably only behind Half Life 2 and WoW. Im sorry it revitalized a dying franchise by shaking up the formula and becoming something infinitely enjoyable, replayable, and timeless. Sure, the entries built on top of it were largely garbage (save Revelations 1), but Capcom struck gold again recently with the incredible RE7.

To be fair his reasoning is valid, if his example is incorrect. It's always important to carry an antidote to a poison because you never know. Always better to have something and never need it than to not.

Plus the island WAS under his control, so he thought there's no way anyone would get to it right. Hindsight is 40/40 and all that.

Series spoilers:

Birkin was facing death and wanted revenge.
Nemesis was always Nemesis (I read once that tyrants were teenagers)
Alexia looked like she could control her transformation when she walked down the stairs but I don't know about the dragonfly monster thing (which is symbolic since Chris, the ant, slays her)
Saddler also looked like he could've reverted if he wanted to
I'm not sure about Wesker, I don't even know if Uruburos accepted him or not.
