    Quest: 'Disorganized Crime' - Dialogue Error

    Immediately after the fight beside the Lifemend Stump, the player is moved to an instance containing three NPCs. Upon speaking with the NPC Colbert, the following block of dialogue was given:

    Colbert: We're no good, it's true. But it ain't our fault! I-I'm from a broken home, I am. And Bryce, there--well, he ain't never bedded a woman, so his head's a bloody mess...i-if you'll pardon me for sayin' so,...i-if you'll pardon me for sayin' so, m'lady)>. But we'll walk the straight and narrow from here on in. Honest we will!
    I've emboldened the problem sections as I saw them.

    As you can see, the emboldened section contains two instances of the same phrase, before the player-gender-specific address ('m'lady' - I assume in the event of a male character, this would be replaced with 'm'lord'?), which is itself followed by the I assume erroneous ')>' (code fragment? If I get the opportunity I'll go through it with Forra, too; see if that )> is from the gender flag being called improperly or something).

    I've also submitted this through the support site's contact form.

    I just found this as well and have also been called a lady. Even though I'm an elezen man. And then I gave him another good beating.

    This may be a stylistic choice by the LOC team; Colbert calls men women and asks women when their baby is due. I say you lock him in a dodo cage until he learns some twelve-damn manners.

    I love how your character's body language is even like "The hell did you just call me?!"

    Indeed, a gender switch macro is misfiring here, causing the erroneous text. I've made the change, and promise it will be go live in the next patch. Sorry about this, and thanks for the post!
