Lady Diallas speech at the end of act 3

I like the writing in PoE, but this particular speech always felt wrong to me. In particular the "You are a [man/woman]"-bit.

Wraeclast is supposed to be a very hostile place, where people are just trying to survive. In survival situations, you tend not to have a very regimented social structure and consequently you don't have strict gender roles. Instead you tend to have roles based on merit such as being a warrior, honorable, brave, survivor or caring and what not. I think this comes across in Wraeclast very well until you hear that strange speech.

For me, in the context of the game, it feels like Lady Dialla is saying something completely worthless like "you have two feet." And it really hurts the feel of the game to point of feeling like my char should kill her right there for not respecting what Wraeclast is all about.

I wonder if I'm the only one feeling like this.

It's being worked on in beta. I'd agree about the awkwardness of the speech, but I'd like to add that it's a respectful choice considering she normally calls you "unbug" or "not-a-cockroach" :3
