Shathann always refers to Rook as a man

In Taash's quest Fire on the Sands, at the end when you meet Shathann she comments that it's unusual for Taash to be interested in men. The first Rook I played was male so this was fine, but the second time I made a nonbinary Rook with a masculine body and voice and got the same line. This struck me as odd, but it could make sense if Shathann isn't familiar with nonbinary people at this point. It suited the character so it didn't really bother me.

For my third playthrough however, I made another nonbinary Rook, this time with a feminine body and voice. I just finished that quest and the same line triggered. I haven't played as a female Rook so I don't know what she says in that situation, but it seems like she's flagged to always comment on Rook being a man if they aren't specifically a woman.

ETA: It sounds like this dialogue triggers when Rook is a woman as well, so it's just straight up bugged.

  • I play a Woman and an Elf Rouge and got the same dialogue, was very confused but shrugged it off thinking it was just my game or I had misheard. So yeah it definitely happens even if your rook is classified as a woman with she/her pronouns within the game.

    In my new playthrough I’m playing a transwoman so I thought Shathann was misgendering Rook but nope ok it’s a bug for everyone then… It happened to me today so it hasn’t been fixed yet I suppose.

    I just ran this in the last week with a female elf, and Shathann commented on Taash being more interested in women (same as I got with previous playthroughs as a female human). So it isn't a consistent issue; maybe related to the pronouns that you choose, since Shathann doesn't understand nonbinary at all, or to the initial body type that you start with for the character? (Not defending it, just hypothesizing)
