Ah finally got around to finishing chapter 2! Such a busy time for games at the moment (Miles Edgeworth/ Heavy Rain).

I don't think I have much more to offer though, my opinions have been covered. Very interesting werewolf background, enjoying the casework. But seriously, sorry Andrea but Grace is a major disapointment. I thought her intro in the shop at the beginning was quite good, but she is WAY over the top at the castle.

The biggest gripe I have is that the mystery of her relationship with Gabriel was so slight and subtle in GK1. When Gabriel questioned her jealeousy she had a response that genuinely diverted attention and made me as the player second guess whether she was jealeous or protective of Gabriel's well being. I loved how the relationship was handled this way, such a new and interesting way to portray a relationship between two main characters.

I feel like all of this has just gone out the window. No subtlety, Grace may as well be screaming that she has a thing for Gabriel. It doesn't even seem like jealeousy, more like desperation. I couldn't help but laugh when I read that symptoms of Werewolf's included sudden bursts of aggression - the werewolf is Grace after all!

EDIT: I have a huge sense of respect for Gerde now. I think she offered a level of patience that is far beyond mine. That's her castle, woman! You can't poke around and treat her like that.
