Oh wait you are saying that it is ok for you to act like a fool because some other game has worse fools?
Are you basically confessing your own sins?
And you're sounding a bit condescending.
That's why this thread's title is a question about future intent. As of yet, they've merely mentioned she exists.Arrtis wrote...

Why do so many people seem to be arguing that advertising is a waste of time and money?
It's really quite odd...Arrtis wrote...
Most advertising of games happen through word of mouth.
Or on the internet where you can figure out you can play as a woman.
Besides saying outright that you can play as a woman is likley to cause misunderstanding.
Advertising now doesnt say here YOU CAN PLAY AS A MAN.Would cause mixed messages if you did that with women.wwwwowwww wrote...
I don't think it's a waste of money, but I do think it's a waste of money to make specific advertising for specific audiences other than your core audience. I mean take current advertising for household products, back in the day advertising was more towards the male audience, then the realized that women were the main ones doing the shopping for the home, so marketing was shifted to appeal to women and sales went through the roof. They aren't saying that men don't shop for household products or even that men don't use them, but instead they are marketing towards their core buyers that will bring in the most money for them.
The difference is that bioware can advertise with posters, screenshots, gameplay trailers, cinematic trailers, websites, etc etc they are not confined to a 30second tv add.
It would not be hard to make some of these with femHawke in it.
And, obviously, it needn't be so blatant as to state "YOU CAN PLAY AS A WOMAN!!" and the amount of money that gets spent on advertising would suggest that bioware doesn't agree with you that 'word of mouth' most effective.
Bioware has already said they had plans for showing off fem hawke.
As an add?I do not know.

Hey honestly I hope to see the Fem Hawke, 9x out of 10 I play a female character anyways, maybe that's why I just do get the issue here. I always just assume I can play a female until prove otherwise. Naive I guess
Nothing there says you cannot play as a female.tpryan01 wrote...
Hmmm why would someone think that they could only play as a fixed male protagonist?

In order to stay true to this analogy, it would have to be pictures of lemons alongside the sign saying drinks. What would the passerby think as he walked past the 'drink' stand? Now if they did have grapes and apples and oranges alongside the lemons on the sign, they'd be advertising the options they provide. Which is exactly what we'd like BioWare's marketing campaigns to do.

Sorry for this, but:
Mmmmm, sweet lemonade....
No point of going over all the little options such as you can play as male or female.Em23 wrote...
@ Arrtis
To be clear, you are saying there is no point in advertising because people who want whatever it is will find it on their own. Correct?
