Dude, I dunno why it was criticised but I feel it was one of the best character personality I've seen in a video game. It felt natural. With what she had gone through it was a perfect match of how she behaved. She also couldn't see in anyone's eyes properly.

Playing this for the last few days. Each feature is so detailed, it’s bonkers. Even minor stuff like pick pocketing requires a mini game to be executed to precision. Only issue I’ve is the combat, just can’t seem to get the hang of swordplay or even fist fights. Completed the first combat training quest at that nomad camp, but even simple bandits or regular village guards take out Henry in 2-3 strikes. Is this expected ? I’m still playing those side quests to get access to the wedding !

The best part about Grace is her voice acting and stuttering.
