That was either laziness - "It takes too long to make voice-recordings for both female and male characters" - or penny-pinching - ""It costs too much to record two versions" - or pig-headed arrogance - "In hard sci-fi, they call all genders 'Sir'" - and they were compounded because no-one at the top levels of the game, either a developer, a marketer or even Q&A, recognised that this was stupid and put their foot down. Laziness, Penny-Pinching, Arrogance, Lack of Leadership. These are the qualities that caused the massive flaws of this game that even the most senior bosses of the company that made it now call 'diappointing'. |

I don't even like Star Wars, but I seem to remember they called even females "Sir" in the movies. Game still blows though ;)

If you watch a game, it’s fun. If you play it, it’s recreation. If you work at it, it’s FF-XIV. |

In the Military unless we were talking to a Civilian female we addressed all Offercer personal as Sir.

Originally posted by Vaelgard No they didn't. Not in any of the moviers. They called Princess Leia, 'Princess'. And Senator Amidala, 'Senator'. |

Originally posted by Weretigar My god, are you all drinking the same Cool-Aid. In every army in the world - EVERY - a senior female non-com or officer is called "Ma'am". Now stop making crap up - and stop pretending you were in the military. |

Originally posted by Weretigar umm no you don't, well not in the US military at least.. they might do this in other countries not sure. Female officers are addressed as Ma'am I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |

Yeah, there's only like two women in Star Wars and at no point is either of them referred to as Sir. Slip-ups are in every video game that allows you to make a female character. Skyrim: The other day I was at a blacksmith in the game with a female character and the Blacksmith said something to the effect of "You're quite a strong man, to do that." Its all over the place. Games are by Default, male slanted. |

Originally posted by Aerowyn Agree. I spent 24 years in the US military, and the only time you would call a woman Sir is if Billy Jean King were commissioned! Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not. |

Originally posted by Weretigar USAF from 2001-2005 and USCG from 2007-current.. never once have I seen a female officer called Sir.. well actually I did in boot camp and that kid got his ass reamed.. only time I see this is if the person is really nervous around the female and they mess up.. proper way to address female office is yes ma'am no ma'am I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall.

Oh, and a female Sith is not 'My Lord', it's 'My Lady'. Another piece of arrogance, laziness or just general stupidity left in by the developers. And before some idiot say "Oh, but female siths were called 'lords'"... |

Originally posted by Weretigar Sorry, kid, but you're lying. No female of senior rank is called 'Sir' not even in the unit you're pretending to be a member of. |

I'm just entertained at the amount of stupidity and lengths people will go to in trying to somehow further point out this games faults. The game played out like a single player with the hopes dailies and dungeons would entertain the trillions of people they hoped to have playing it. It did not work out, I'm certain that's been noted already, I'm also certain the game is not mandatory and you can go and not play something else. |

If a woman's testosterone levels are high (ie she is quite manly), then Sir will do.
