Haha, fair enough!! Yeah, while she's pretty easy to avoid, she's effectively completely invincible (even with cheats!), so I understand the fear and concern. :P
I just love her position in the lore. The whole Trevor family story is so tragic, and according to Wesker's Report 2, Lisa's basically the basis for what becomes the G-Virus.
@young_scott: Nah, I know she was limited to certain encounters, but she was still a big lumbering idiot that could kill me faster than I could ever hope to kill her and, uh, yikes to that, friend.
I think you might be misremembering your time with Lisa, @nodima? On a typical REmake playthrough, you only encounter her like twice in the whole game: once in a cabin (where you just have to get past her and leave the cabin after picking up an object), and again later on in the "crypt" with her mother's body, for a minor boss battle/puzzle. She doesn't really follow you around the mansion. Otherwise, worrying about Crimson Heads and the Hunters which spawn after returning to the mansion is more "persistent" than anything Lisa does.
Just as an aside: I think people forget that Mr. X/the Tyrant was totally in the original 1998 version of Resident Evil 2, but I guess quite a lot people missed him because he only appears on a "B" playthrough (i.e. a continued save after beating the game with one character already and switching to the other), whereas now he's front and centre in the remake. His 1998 form was somewhat more linear than he is in RE2 Remake, though, mainly popping up at specific points.
Ironically, this situation is kind of flipped for RE3; Nemesis in the RE3 Remake went the other way, being arguably more linear than he was in the 1999 version of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, where he followed the player somewhat dynamically, more like RE2 Remake.
But the only reason I had time for Lisa in the RE1 remake was I had summers all to myself and was obsessed with Resident Evil enough that I was writing fan fiction on the IGN message boards. I couldn't care much less about the franchise now, and the only thing less appealing to me than playing a horror game where an unstoppable monster stalks you around a house full of other monsters that are hard to kill while constantly being stressed about inventory management is putting my hand on a lit, open stove.
I will always cherish this clip of Ryan Davis JAMMIN' to the Famicom version of Dragonball's Makafushigi Adventure ("Mystical Adventure"), taken from the "No, This Won't Be Archived" Final Live Free-For-All of 2012 stream.
