    Drydox and Boomshox, wrong genders?

    The way I understand it, female goblin names end in -ox, however, the game always uses "he" to refer to Drydox and Boomshox. This affects several quests, including "Many Hands Make Light Checkwork" and "Mission Unpossible," and possibly others.

    Edit: Feltsmox is also referred to as "he" in the journal entry for "Feltsmox Tackles the Morbols," and I'm positive Feltsmox was referred to as "she" earlier. Seems all text referring to goblins needs a thorough check. I'm sure there are many other examples of this issue I haven't found.

    I just came here to post the same thing about Feltsmox. I reached that quest a minute ago and saw she was refered to as a he by the salvaging goblin that gives the quest. In an early quest she was definitely referred to as female and the localization team has said clearly before that -ox endings are for females, so you're right.

    And I can also confirm the Boomshox quests also say "he".

    Both these goblins are indeed women, and all erroneous pronouns have since been corrected and should be reflected with a future update. Thanks!
