I’m currently playing Resident Evil Village right after finishing RE7, and I just had a scene where the tall lady slices a guy’s hands off. Shortly after, Ethan uses some first aid medicine and reattaches his hand, saying “Good.” I’m a bit confused—did I miss some detail about him being a supernatural being or something?

Those herbs really pack a punch! Just be cautious about consuming any moldy ones, though—they can have weird effects.
Ethan reattaches his hand in RE8 because he’s done it before in RE7. If you keep playing, you’ll get more context about his abilities. In RE7, there’s even an optional scene where Jack cuts off your leg and you can reattach it too! So yeah, just stick with the game, and everything will be clearer!
Ethan’s ability to reattach limbs is rooted in the events of RE7. He managed to reattach his hand after Mia cut it off, and there’s a moment where you can even reattach your leg if Jack gets to you. If you’re confused, it sounds like you might’ve missed some major details from the last game. Keep playing RE8, and it’ll all unfold!
Honestly, it’s a bit surprising to see someone ask about lore before finishing the game. All your answers will come as you explore! Just pay attention to the story as you progress, and it’ll make sense.
I didn’t know the leg thing was optional! I’ve always managed to see that cutscene, and it felt like a major part of the story.
