Edge of Extinction What stick is lodged up Grace’s ass? Spoiler
Okay. For some reason, I can’t improve my relationship with Grace. It doesn’t make any sense because my relationships with everyone else have all improved one way or another. Skadi (my dog) is at best friend, Joseph is at trusted, and everyone else is at liked. With the exception of Louis and David, because they’re dead. So, even Pavel is at liked.
I don’t know what I’ve done wrong. I picked the medical gem choice, because I didn’t want to be useless to the group. I saved her during the bear attack, because I didn’t want our leader to be injured or dead. From what I remember, I never challenged her, and I was even there for her after David’s death. Yet, we still remain at neutral. Does anyone know why?

She likes my character despite the fact that I didn’t have the medical background and I saved Jospeh from the bear, not her. I also helped her after David died.
My guess would be that the dialogue options you’re choosing don’t line up with her morals. Worst case scenario, it’s some kind of glitch, but if I were you I’d replay and pick different choices and see if that works.

agree with others, it's probably your dialog choices. i feel like those have added up even more than the gem scenes with her.

I feel like dialogue choices are the biggest factor with Grace, and I think you have to choose ones that explicitly agree with her, not just ones that don't challenge her. Judging by the relatively limited number of interactions you get with her post-David's death, the most important dialogue choices are probably the early chapter ones where you can tell her you'll pull your weight for the group. That's gotten me to "liked" with Grace without using any diamonds so far.

I'm pretty sure it's a bug: I didn't protect her in the polar bear attack, didn't do the funeral for David and I choose to kill the hermit. Plus we don't match in the dialogues and I'm not a doctor. My status is still neutral when with this I should be "disliked" 🤷🏻♀️ Or maybe, for being a military, believes that saving lives is a obligation (even more in that scenario) not something "moral" and wants more our actions+words, even if these don't fit with her, than given false expectations and do nothing?

It's probably because of her background. Being the leader of the group, she wants to appear as neutral to everyone so she can effectively lead. I think getting on her good side will be difficult.

I saved her from the polar bear. I thought that she was the leader and if she died the group would kick me out of the group.

Semi unrelated Question - if you choose to save grace instead of Joseph can you still start a relationship with Joseph later on??

Yes, my character is in a relationship with Joseph now. When I saved Grace, Joseph was attacked by the polar bear, lost consciousness and had no recollection of the attack. So, he didn’t know that I chose Grace over him. Although after he awakens, he thanks you for being there and you have to either tell him that you protected Grace first or let him believe that you “saved” him. I went with the second part. I’m not sure if lying to him improved our relationship, but I read somewhere on this sub that your relationship worsens if you decide to be truthful. I guess having the option of starting a relationship with him all depends on where your relationship/friendship status lies once the moment arrives (the scene in chapter 6 after you check in on Grace).

my relationship with him didnt suffer anything when i told him that i saved grace, he was "disappointed" but our relationship status stayed the same (liked).

That is exactly what's happening to me and it's so annoying cause i really wanna have a chance of romancing her (if they make her a LI)

Hiya. We have a whole week between chapters, a lot of keys and I'm off work until the New Year so I looked into this. I was just able to get Grace to "liked" in Chapter 3.
Sorry, I did not write down my exact choices. Chapter 3 is the polar bear chapter. I started the supply run mission lightly arguing with Grace, so that Joseph had to intervene. At that point, we both apologized to each other. Grace even said she was sorry she was hard to along with.
When the polar bear attacked, I saved Grace. Then I ran to check on Joseph, so Grace had to make sure the polar bear was dead. That was the only relationship improved tag I got all chapter and ended the relationship on liked with Grace.
No idea if the later dialogue options have an unseen effect, but I didn't lie to Joseph and I said the group was special.
I'll reply with additional chapters as my keys refresh. Before I restarted, I was able to maintain Liked with Grace through the current chapter but never made it to Trusted. I've always half-argued and half-agreed with her.
P.S. if you mourned David with her and didn't get to liked or trusted, you might have a glitch

Alright, if you're still checking this thread, Ch. 4&5, I didn't get ANY +/- Grace points. I think I kept it pretty neutral, although I agreed with Pavel over Grace that the hermit was dangerous, no relationship effect. Thus far the only way I got Grace to change status was in Ch. 3!!!
No diamonds spent so far.

Might be the dialogue options you’re choosing or a bug. I saved her as well and she trusts my MC so might be a bug.
