Why is Ethan's face never shown?

Ethan's face is never shown in Resident Evil 7 and Village primarily because he's a first-person "self-insert" protagonist, meant for player identification, but his face is deliberately obscured in cutscenes to maintain immersion and the "everyman" feel, even though a fully developed face model exists within the game files and can be seen through glitches or mods. Capcom continued this artistic choice for narrative effect, making him a mysterious, relatable figure rather than an established hero.
