Game Mechanics: Hail comma

[Brut]

Somethin been bugging me as of late, recall that when you'd press H to hail a person/npc, it didn't use to have a comma after the "Hail".

Like, instead of "you say, 'Hail, Soonog'
it would be "you say, 'Hail Soonog"

Tried looking up patch note lists, couldn't find any notes about when this was changed. Closest to anything related to hail command changes I got was this one:

- Hailing Player Character will now say 'Hail Playername', rather than
just 'hail'.
