Issue #34904: CR07: Vilkas sometimes incorrectly refers to criminal as a woman

 
Sometimes Vilkas will refer as the criminal target in CR07 as a woman, when in reality it's actually a man that you end up killing. It looks like the criminal alias uses the LvlBanditAmbushMelee1H template, which consists of a number of possible NPCs (both male and female). This issue doesn't make sense to me because it looks like the dialogue (CR07StartContinuationPartDeux) has correct condition checks.

Something else I noticed is that although the dialogue gets it wrong, the quest journal text is correct. See screenshots below.

A similar mix-up happened again, except this time Vilkas correctly referred to the criminal as a woman. For whatever reason the quest journal was incorrect and referred to the criminal as "him."

next time this happens try to get the base formID of the bandit that had the wrong pronoun.

Unless I'm remembering incorrectly and missed something when making notes, it's always the same base [LvlBanditAmbushMelee1H 00093815]. The FormID is randomized starting with "FF" obviously. I recall trying to figure this out from the Creation Kit data and couldn't find any reason how it could happen with the existing conditions on the alias. Maybe some of the data is being pulled from nested templates, which you'd have to check individually to see if there's an error way down there somewhere.

Yeah, I was hoping you'd have something of the actual base one that spawns (aka, whatever leveled bandit it picks from the list). Might have to check all of them.
