So, makes me wonder... Is it actually respectful in Thedas, or is everyone really being a jerk to Hawke throughout the game and showing contempt? In the case of like Mother Petrice, yeah she means it contemptuously... in fact, actually this makes me hate her even more... by that definition she's pretty much saying "Hawke, you are worthless trash... now do as I say..."

Forums: Index > Lore DiscussionUse of the word "sirrah" in Dragon Age...

So, out of curiosity I looked up the definition of "Sirrah" since so many people call Hawke that in Dragon Age 2... and I found this...
"Sirrah is an archaic term used to address inferiors, sometimes as an expression of contempt."
So, makes me wonder... Is it actually respectful in Thedas, or is everyone really being a jerk to Hawke throughout the game and showing contempt? In the case of like Mother Petrice, yeah she means it contemptuously... in fact, actually this makes me hate her even more... by that definition she's pretty much saying "Hawke, you are worthless trash... now do as I say..."
