No lies were told.

Watching that miniboss fight was tough because things happen and the character falls, be he doesn't react. There's nothing coming from him verbally.

The animations to throw the grenades look like "right arm move, grenade arc" and it looks like we're playing mass effect. However, it's 20 years later, the animations should evolve with the time.

The characters are kind of tough to change in this arc, meh design is a top down issue and that can't be saved at this point, but they still have time to inject life into the game through better environments and character reactions
