I have exactly the same situation with Damian Lewis - which means I really struggled to get through Band of Brothers and only lasted about 10 minutes into Billions and Homeland. He makes me feel genuinely nauseous.
This game is **** glorious! Not only to look at (it is beautiful), also the gameplay is so slick and satisfying and the use of NPC co-op is absolutely bang on.
Love it.

Also, if you haven't been to The Swamp of Sorrows yet, I would highly recommend getting the Sodden Ring asap. It makes a bloody difficult area a little bit more palatable.
Maneaters are imo the toughest boss in the whole game...unless you have Firestorm which two hits them
If you want an easier time against the Old Monk, turn off Online and you get the default NPC (instead of an actual player).
