She was the best combat buddy to have, her relationship with the Medic was probably the best I've seen in a very long time, and her boss battle was enjoyable. Gameplay-wise she was awesome (almost too awesome... it got the point where she'd take care of everything and I'd have nothing to do but go forward lol). Her abilities are really cool and her boss battle was fun.

But her character was horribly bland. When a character doesn't speak/communicate through traditional means, you have to resort to different ways to make their personality and beliefs shine through. For me, they failed at that. I had to read guides on the internet just to understand her character because it was conveyed so poorly in the game. The fact that there was more effort put into chances to oogle at her body than making her personality clear just made me feel that much worse about her. She felt like a waste of space, especially because she had SO much potential.

I don't know why people can even say they had a good a relationship, she and Medic hardly had any meaningful reaction before disappeared. Jumping in the rain together once, and then helping each other like normal comrades doesn't really mean much. In fact the only reason I knew she had feelings for him was because they explicitly said so. There was no indication otherwise; no sort of romantic chemistry besides "He's a guy and she's a girl, let's put them together".
