Perhaps something like this would work to highlight it is explicitedly gender neutral?
I really don't get the impression that that implies that as it stands, it just feels like they're explaining why they're calling me sir, albeit the Deep's accented version of it.

I find this a little problematic.
First, by saying it applies to men or women you are making a phrase that is non-binary; binary. Feels like a step backwards.
Second, I'd argue that Skaldgar not making it gendered is enough to make it clear it isn't gendered. You've asked for an explanation and he is clearly not saying it's just for men. It's explicit in the omission. There is something refreshing in him not even viewing the question through a gendered/binary lens. It's just a nice thing that folks call each other.
Third, even if I were to render this in language that feels a little more like Skaldgar, and is not binary... for instance...
"...folk call each other in the Deep, regardless of whether they're gals, guys, or anything else."
It just feels off. It feels explicit and immersion breaking. Like he is addressing the person behind the keyboard and not the character in the game.
My suggestion is that you have the player be direct about it in a possible follow up question - should the player really want to press the issue. After he tells you what is currently written you could ask something like:
"Does Ser just apply to men?"
And then Skaldgar:
The old man narrows his eyes at you and his mouth falls slightly open like he's trying to make sense of a puzzle, finally, he says, "What's the bits between a fella's legs gotta do with anything? I already said, 'Ser' is just what decent folk call each other; ain't nothing more to it. Don't matter if you're a guy, gal, or anything else. Hel, I reckon I'd even call an elf 'Ser' if they done me a good turn."

This sounds like a more elegant solution.

Yes, a follow up question works best! The binary nature of that suggested sentence is the reason i said "something like this" as opposed to simply "this". Thanks, @SpearDane!
I wasn't satisfied with it, but something was absolutely necessary. Omitting if it is or isn't gender neutral absolutely does not imply it gender neutral if the questioner believes it is a clearly gendered word, which is exactly what lead to the added text string in the first place!
If an until then non-gendered player character questions why they are being called Sir and is told it is "just what decent folk call each other", it sounds like it confirms one's a man, or at least male presenting, to the eyes of the NPC. "Why yes, sir is what decent folks call each other... if they are men. Sounds like i'm one, then." is my worry of what would go through many player's minds reading only the original question.
This follow-up works to fix that without making the old men immediately jump to a gendered lens - great suggestion, Dane! 🎉
Here's an additional suggestion, though:
What about "So Ser is different from Sir?" as an alternative [2] option to the follow-up question, with an edited answer that acknowledges the reasonableness of the player's confusion?
It'd be for flavour, seeing as the implemented option already makes it sufficiently explicit, but while implying the player is foolish for asking - "What does that have to do with anything?" with a confused expression really doesn't go a long way to make the person behind the keyboard feel heard through the player character, and may itself break immersion. That is never good as the only option unless it is meant to be foolish to ask, or at least asked in a foolish way. I understand this is highly unlikely to be what you meant by it, but i find it'll come off that way to some!
It does succeed at implying that the old man doesn't see things through that gendered lens, and that is really great, but it really can feel more like it's telling the person behind the keyboard "it's gender neutral, you #%@%, why would it possibly not be?" as opposed to "oh no no, Sir is a different word to Ser, ser!".
It isn't an unreasonable confusion at all and it is never desirable to imply the player is unwise for being confused with writing which is ambiguous. "So Ser is different from Sir?" also makes the person behind the keyboard's confusion very explicitly the same as First-Last's confusion, avoiding speaking directly to the human player as opposed to the in-game character when tackling it.
So, what about this as a second option to the follow-up:
[1]"Does Ser just apply to men?"
[2] "So Ser is different from Sir?"
The old man's eyes widen slightly before he nods and says, "Oh, oh yes, i see your confusion now. What's the bits between a fella's legs really has not to do with anything. Like I already said, 'Ser' is just what decent folk call each other; ain't nothing more to it. Don't matter if you're a guy, gal, or anything else. Hel, I reckon I'd even call an elf 'Ser' if they done me a good turn."
With that, i find that it enhances option [1] in turn by making the slightly ruder answer there be due to your unwise choice of words!
What do ya'll think?

I saw ser used this way in some other fantasy/pseudo-medieval books, not just GRRM's.
Don't know about sci-fi though

Fair enough anyway : )

I'd like to point out that I've read books that used 'Ser' and never once did they feel the need to go out of their way to explicitly explain its use. I've never read a character/narrator define it for the audience. The authors assumed their readers were smart enough to figure it out via context.
Considering that we were unable to figure it out via context, to the point it was removed from the game on #9622, the same cannot be done here. It was tried, and now 2 PRs were the result. Perhaps it's a difference in audience, or indeed just a game vs. book thing!
But either way, i strongly believe it would be very unwise to add it back in without making it explicit, as it does not fix the issue which started this to begin with. It's not a may-as-well-while-adding-it-back-in, but a prerequisite, and for the following reasons i believe we have not done so as well as we should.
Also, it's important to remember that this scene is being spoken, and saying "So Ser is different from Sir?" sounds ridiculous and senseless when spoken out loud.
I, and all which were confused by it's use, assumed that Ser was pronounced differently than Sir. The whole premise is that people think that Ser is Sir with an accent which pronounces it with an E, same as the W to V accent seen in the same mission string.
Is it really pronounced the exact same, with no phonetic difference at all?
I had personally read it as pronounced like the "ser" seen in my language (the verb "to be" in the infinitive and the word "being" as in "human being"; "ser humano", in Portuguese). I don't have enough knowledge of the phonetic alphabet to explain it better.
"So Ser is different from Sir?" reads, to someone thinking that, as First-Last explicitly pronouncing Ser with an E, and Sir with an I, pointing out their (and the human player's) confusion very clearly and concisely. To be unable to do that, with the option which is made available leading to a confused, coarse answer from the NPC, would lead to a frustrating situation for the player.
"Oh, I'd have asked that better, come on!" Is not the desired sensation we wish to transmit, and it does not to a good job at maintaining immersion. Really, it completely shatters it. Even if Ser actually sounds exactly like Sir, the human player does not think that and therefore such a scenario has to be avoided entirely.
If it is pronounced the same, then it cannot be translated as the same confusion as First-Last's because it doesn't sound that way to them, in which case it is quite problematic to use it as it leads to confusion unexplainable without speaking to the human behind the keyboard or otherwise frustrating them.

The more times I come back and read the new versions the less I like it. I don't really like the Skaldgar response that is given when he is asked for an explanation. It makes me think " Gee, sorry for asking"

Fair enough. If you feel that way then I see no reason to remove it as a possible response/question.
For the less brash response to that question I recommend the following:
The old man gives you a gruff nod and says, "Ah, I see. Can be confusing for a newcomer, I s'pose. What's 'tween a fella's legs gots nothing to do with it. Just like I said before, 'Ser' is just what decent folk call each other; ain't nothing more to it. Don't matter if you're a guy, gal, or anything else. Hel, I reckon I'd even call an elf 'Ser' if they done me a good turn."

I'm sorry, but that just does not sound like Skaldgar.

It's just a suggestion that would need to be polished to sound like Skaldar.

I get that, but making it sound like Skaldgar is how I arrived at what is written above. He's an old miner grandpa, he's going to be colorful. Using gender or sex just didn't sound right, too textbook, too sterile, too careful. That's where we arrive at the bits tween a fella's legs.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Ser was confused for Sir and that was considered offensive enough to be removed. " the bits between a fella's legs" seems like it might be considered equally as offensive or taboo to some people and is inappropriate for the kids that play this game. What doesn't make sense is, Skaldgar is aware enough to use a gender neutral term but then quickly devolves into an overly colorful, rude, "old miner grandpa".
Yes, my version might be too textbook, too sterile, and too careful but the goal is to let the player know about the use of ser without offending anyone.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Ser was not removed because it was offensive. It was removed because a few people were unaware of its meaning.
I am a bit flabbergasted that you think "bits between legs" could be inappropriate for children playing this game. Like... do you think children don't know about their genitalia? Like... one day when they are old enough they find out about it - but before then they just assume there is nothing there? I am a father of two, and I can tell you there's never been a mystery for my kids about that.
This is a game where people are being killed, genocide is happening, slavery is rampant, genetic experimentation, etc etc... but all of that is fine for a young mind - but you draw the line at acknowledging genitalia? Dude.
To your next point, Skaldgar is not "aware enough to use a gender neutral term", he's not cutting edge. It's an old term that was just always gender neutral.
And to your final point; you realize this is circular reasoning? I point out your suggestion isn't in his voice, you say you understand and recommend it be put in his voice, I point you that is exactly what I did, and now you say it doesn't matter it isn't in his voice?
No one was offended in the past, just some people did not understand what it means. That is what we're addressing here.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I personally don't find any of it offensive. I only want to point out what might be an issue to other people. In some cultures, just referencing genitalia is taboo. As, for the kids part, I agree with you that if they are playing this game, "bits between legs" shouldn't be an issue but not all people feel the same way. Why risk it just to add flavor, when flavor isn't really the goal of this whole new dialogue.
Ser was removed because "some people did not understand what it means" is accurate but , at the time, the idea was put forth that we could not use it, because it was not gender neutral. To me, that means the fear was it could offend some people.
I'm not trying to pick a fight I'm just pointing out areas that might become an issue later. I like to play devils advocate just to make people think. The best question to ask before you do anything is, "What if?". As soon as you think you thought of everything, some else comes along and finds the one thing you missed.
I have made my alternative points of view clear enough. I'm fine with letting the other members help bene-dictator decide what to use. Use some of it, or use none of it, it's all fine by me.

Having a character sound like themselves is not "adding flavor", it's intrinsically good writing. Maintaining their characterization is pivotal to helping the audience believe they are interacting with a real person - i.e. a character.

I disagree with him opening up with an apology. But if you feel strongly the "Ser with an E not an I" helps it make more sense, I think that is fair.

I meant change it to 'sir' before the explanation and then 'ser' after. We read it as 'sir' even if it's spelt 'ser'. I think it might help the player understand that 'sir' and 'ser' sound the same but are indeed two different words.

I understand. But that is not what he says; he does not call you sir.
You want him to call you 'sir' so you can have a reason for the player to ask, 'why did you call me sir'. But he doesn't call you that. This is very much putting the cart before the horse and it creates all kinds of additional problems.
You're forcing the player to be confused and to hear him incorrectly. You're removing agency from the player, and you're also damaging the game's credibility - since the game is literally misleading the player here.
And all of this just feel unnecessary. Skaldgar says 'ser', let him say what he says, why lie/mislead/force the player to mishear him? If the player is confused they can ask "why did you call me ser?" and Skaldgar then explains its a term of respect.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Nobody is mishearing anything , both words sound the same, so it makes sense that the player would spell it sir. IMO Spelling it ser puts the cart before the horse because the player doesn't know anything about ser yet.
If the players character is a male then sir would make sense and there is no confusion but the player might wonder why the "why are you calling me sir" question is there and click to find out. However, if the players character is not male then the "why are you calling me sir" question makes sense and leads to the reveal that ser is actually a different word and is what was meant.

He didn't call you sir. And you're assuming the PC is assuming he called you sir. Maybe the PC just wants to know what Ser means.

After re-reading the mission text from the current in game files, I'm starting to think that removing "ser" just makes more sense. Using Captain works just fine and doesn't create any confusion. Trying to use "ser" as a non gendered term of respect is creating a lot of controversy for word usage that is barely used anywhere. The more common old English use of ser was indeed a substitute for sir. Which brings us back to why it was removed in the first place. So, why are we trying to justify using a word in a way that is very uncommon? |
It's only creating controversy for you. |
"Ser" being used this way isn't unprecedented in modern writing at all. |
|
@SpearDane @bene-dictator Sorry, for trying to offer an opinion that started an unnecessary argument. @assaiLizzle Don't just give thumbs down without any explanations. It's very disrespectful. You just joined 13 hours ago and you came straight here to give me 👎 Seems kind of odd. |
Dude. This thread is littered with me making changes and additions based off other people's opinions, including at the very start, yours. If anyone here is struggling with other people's opinions.. it is you. Frankly, if you're not trying to troll, I feel you are fundamentally missing the point of this PR and it is causing some confusion on your part which is resulting in a lot of miscommunication here. |
I read you comments and found them rather uninformed and inflammatory, whats the thumbs down button for if not to dislike a comment? |
|
I understand the point of this PR perfectly.
Therefore, the current version were "ser" was removed in preference of Captain works well, reads well, and causes no issues. Adding "ser" back in, even with a yet to be determined explanation, still leaves room for confusion, problems, and really doesn't add much to the game. |
Endless Sky is a work of fiction. We can make stuff up that doesn't exist in real life. The player has the opportunity to clarify the use of 'ser' and learn that it is considered gender-neutral within the world of Endless Sky. A unique honorific adds flavor to the Deep and establishes that it is a cultural region separate from the rest of human space. That is the point of this PR. |
|
The others have largely summed up my thoughts on the matter. Regardless of its scarcity in real life, the word exists within Endless Sky as a way to distinguish the language of the Deep, and adding in mentions of "sir" is unnecessarily misleading. |

on the biochemical cells (endless-sky#9743) Wanderer sun reactor energy capacities were doubled back in 0.9.15. The Wanderer sun reactors were already dominant before their energy capacity was increased, and they have remained dominant due to not losing out as much relatively to the energy capacity buff that was given to other outfits. Reverting the energy capacity buff gives other reactors and battery outfits more breathing room. In that same update, biochemical cells received a 10x energy capacity buff. This pushed them into the realm of being great batteries with some energy generation rather than a weak energy generator with some energy capacity, although the combined effect has ended up being a bit too strong. As such, reduced the energy generation by 20% as opposed to reverting part of the energy capacity buff to keep them in their niche while not being too overpowered. * feat(AI): NPC scan and surveillance personality behavior changes (endless-sky#9714) * fix(content): Fix attribute on Vyrmeid lifeform (endless-sky#9898) * fix(ship): Variant ships correctly inherit display names from base ships (endless-sky#9897) * fix(UI): Use singular "ship" in messages when recalling/deploying a single ship (endless-sky#9908) * fix(docs): Fix errors in the copyright file (endless-sky#9853) * fix(syntax): Rename variable to avoid ambiguity with std::queue in some versions of clang (endless-sky#9907) * feat(ux): Hide unknown system names in the escort HUD (endless-sky#8816) Escorts located in systems that the player hasn't visited don't leak the system name in the UX, and instead show "???" instead of the actual system name.

This is a drop of about 25% to damage, and an increase of 80% to blast radius. The description of heavy rockets notes that they're primarily effective against groups of fighters, and this change leans further into that, making them more clearly distinct from the Torpedo, the premier anti-HW weapon for small ships. * feat(content): Make the "Remnant: Cognizance 4" mission description more helpful (endless-sky#10017) Co-authored-by: mOctave <73318970+mOctave@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(balance): Tweak Marauder loadouts, including removing campaign unlocked outfits (endless-sky#9819) Co-authored-by: Quantumshark <thedup.adg@gmail.com> * fix(typo): Minor spelling in cognizance (hanger -> hangar) (endless-sky#10037) * fix(content): make the <npc> substitution in Wanderers: Mereti: The Plant 5 point to the right npc (endless-sky#10036) * feat(content): Changes to Pre-war Missions (endless-sky#9924) * [Mechanic] Disabled Self-Repair (endless-sky#9846) Co-authored-by: EjoThims <JEIPH@MAC.COM> * feat(balance): Toned down the missile strength and turn rate of the Firelight (endless-sky#10038) * fix(content): Don't offer the Terraforming missions at non-sensical times (endless-sky#10027) * feat(balance): Give the Quicksilver +20 weapon capacity & a Capybara Reverse Thruster * feat(content): Sell normal blaster weapons on pirate planets (endless-sky#10034) * feat(enhancement): Game actions can now play music with a `music` node (endless-sky#10008) * fix(content): Fixed an inconsistency in variable names used by Patir Mystery and Cognizance (endless-sky#10028) * Feat(mechanics): Cloaking flexibility with additional attributes (endless-sky#7025) Co-authored-by: EjoThims <JEIPH@MAC.COM> Co-Authored-By: Nick <85879619+quyykk@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Peter van der Meer <peter.vd.meer@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: TomGoodIdea <108272452+TomGoodIdea@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: warp-core <warp-core@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Zitchas <32169904+Zitchas@users.noreply.github.com> * fix(typo): "cloaking shield" -> "cloaking shields" (endless-sky#10047) "cloaking shield" -> "cloaking shields" * feat(content): Bringing a lost dog to its owner on Glory (endless-sky#9961) Co-authored-by: bene_dictator <benstaples8068@gmail.com> * fix(content): Syntax in Lost Dog missions (endless-sky#10050) * feat(cloaking): Update some cloaking tooltips (endless-sky#10052) * fix(content): Don't select Graffias as a target for Free Worlds "Scouting Run" jobs (endless-sky#10053) * feat: Ability to limit turret firing arc (endless-sky#7094) * Introduce a capability to limit the rotation of a turret.

Content fix
This PR addresses something SpearDane brought up while we were working on Saga's Saga.
Summary
In #9622 all instances of "ser" were changed to "Captain" to make the dialogue more gender neutral (as the captain is never given a gender, being an extension of the player). However, "ser" is actually used in literature as a gender neutral form of address, and is not to be confused with "sir". It is meant to be used in the Deep somewhat regularly, but "especially by more traditional communities".
See: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ser#English
