Hmm, is the exclamation point meant to indicate that she heard them talking, or only that she saw them and realized they were in a position where they could see her, and thus she ducked behind the counter to finish changing?

It might also mean she's quest giver! ... ok, probably saw them. Or, possibly saw Duck getting close.

I'm not even sure if she finished changing, or just changed back into her previous "flat-chested+large sweater" deal.

Has it been established that Grace has superior hearing?  I'm thinking that the whispering might as well be in normal conversation tones because, at that distance, Grace can probably hear everything they say.

You'd think she had an exclamation point hovering above her head if she were.

No no, she's a quest turn in, a questgiver has a big "?" above them, a turn in has the "!"

 

Judging by the commentary though, Dan's referencing Metal Gear Solid in which the "!" followed by:

means you're in danger of being caught. The quote comes from when you get killed and the "Game Over" screen fades in with Otacon or another character saying a variation of "Snake, what's wrong? Snake? SNAAAAKE!"

Nothing new to see here.
Except for a few changed books.
Of course, one would cheat in any game, no matter how fake it is.

First thing that always comes to mind. Oy.

The overhead light above Grace is still a nice touch. She must have broken the dimmer.

... to be exact, between second and third panels the "books" are mirrored again.

Isn't this classical healing animation? No idea from which game, but I think I saw it parodied multiple times. Unless it was just similar.

She has additional senses in her antennae, but she doesn't have now. Don't remember anything about hearing.

I thought that light was just to highlight the angelic halo Grace is wearing because she is so innocent, pure, and modest.

I just don't Grace to start breathing through her skin.  Dumbest "reason" for fanservice ever.

I... may have to grant you that one, and that is impressive given how many incredibly stupid excuses I have heard for sending undressed women into combat zones. In fact, I cannot offhand think of anything else that stupid right now. o.O

I will say that I liked the reason for the Elmore art showing a woman in a chainmail suit that left her chest and cleavage almost entirely exposed. As it turned out, that was not actually armour. It was ceremonial garb she was forced into prior to being sacrificed ritually to the Dark Gods. It does make sense in that case to leave an opening exposing the heart. (It also made sense that she declined the 'privilege' and cut the head priest's throat and made her escape. And that she ditched the 'armour' first opportunity she got.)

Here is "Quiet."

This is "The End" who has the same parasite as Quiet does.

Now I don't want to go all holy warrior on the subject, but there is something not quite right here.

No no no. It is totally different. HIS parasite breathes through his beard.

...

...right, nobody bought that one. Back to the drawing board I guess. >.>

Personally, I like the "the armor is actually magical and/or partially transparent and is covering much more than it seems" solution, although it often leaves out the "and also, the designer was pervert and/or really liked the trope".

Regarding the WORST excuses, I think there is only one more stupid: none. Meaning, pretending that there is nothing to be excused or explained on that armor because it's obviously just fine. Except with no excuse, at least they can claim they didn't realized it.
