    Gri, Lifemend Stump, "Disorganized Crime" -- Text -- Colbert's Broken Macro and Comma

    When the player is in an instance in Lifemend Stump in Gridania and is progressing through the "Disorganized Crime" sidequest, the following text appears from Colbert:

    "
    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!
    "

    This is incorrect for two reasons:
    1. There appears to be a broken gender macro on the sixth through eighth lines of text.
    2. An interjection comma is missing on the last line after "Honest".

    Please fix this issues by fixing the broken gender macro and by adding a comma after "Honest".

    The corrected text would appear as follows for a female player character:

    "
    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, m'lady. But we'll
    walk the straight and narrow
    from here on in. Honest, we will!
    "

    This was addressed in a previous bug report and the change already made. Unfortunately, it wasn't in time for 1.19. Look for the change in a future patch.

    After confirming with our editor, we're going to pass on this one. This "honest" is written as a modifier rather than an interjection. It reads more naturally in this "adverbial" usage, and also ensures no pause.
