Anyway I doubt many women are gonna buy the game simply because they advertise a woman.

Or are you arguing that it will catch their attention even if they like different sort of games?

The point is that a lot of women do like Dragon Age and that advertising only shows a few aspects of the game: The aspects are the ones that traditionally appeal to a young male audience.

somebody did try to start their own thread about how women are moaning about being ''pushed to one side'' yada..yada..
and the thread got immediately closed, so no i will not start my own thread.
i think it is great that women like yourself enjoy dragon age.
i
just think you are delusional to think bioware should advertise to the
minority group when most of the consumers of dragon age are probably
male. look at the ratio on the forum alone, ALOT more male members then
female.
its just the way it is with gaming at the moment.
like i
said you moaning about how females are being excluded from advertising
is just like me saying how unfair it is that males are excluded from
chocolate adverts, and make up adverts.
some guys like to wear make up
(DEFINATELY NOT ME FOR THE RECORD LOL) but every make up advert is
directed towards women.
so the point of this thread is ridiculous.
like i have said there are ALWAYS people who like to moan about how hard done by they are and how unfair the world is.
blah..blah..blah..blah


The female market is prehaps larger than the male makeup wearing one.  :whistle:   Hardware/Home improvement stores were the sole target of men.  That is their base consumer group. However you do see that they have included women in their advertising thereby increasing their sales.

If she has a D+ rack and revealing cloths/armour, more men will buy it though :devil:.

Women getting to voice complaints = ok

is this what I am hearing has happened?
A problem with new players is they are more likely to not like the game....may misunderstand it and say bad/untrue things about it....Of course I have no statistics *i personally am very wary of statistics*

get used to it mate, its the age old minority gets to complain but the majority has to shutup bend over and take it good and proper.


stuff it, you self righteous prat.

Both of you will be forced to take vacations from the forums if you keep up this arguement. Stop it now.

The entire trailer is geared toward appealing to the imagined male drive for combat, action, high adventure and romance.

Way to shoot yourself in the foot. I would have enjoyed it more if you hadn't hit my foot in the process.

Apparently not. If female don't like combat, high adventure and romance I doubt putting Lady Hawke on the cover will change that.
