Sounds to me like you're focusing way too much on gender in terms of judging a game.
Why not? I'd rather have the choice. Personally I don't want to play as a guy.
Given a choice I will play as a guy, in a couple of playthroughs, but not given a choice? Yep, I don't play.
I'm also rather narrow in scope of the games I like to play....RPGs and dungeon crawlers.
No the not telling people it was cancelled was the not caring. The waiting around for hours for something that didn't show up was the not caring.
This.
If you aren't going to follow through on something you said you were going to do (and over a month ago to boot) then SAY SO. And do it early so you don't leave people hanging.
It's common freaking courtesy.

I know it's Bioware, and I'm expecting there to be the ability to chose to play as a female. (It is Bioware afterall).
But until it's confirmed officially (like on the website)....I'm not pre-ordering.
It's a LAZY marketing decison not to include on the OFFICAL game website at least the words "Pick your race, play as a male or female, customize your apperance...." if they were not able at this point able to post screenshots or artworks of the female version of an Inquisitor. Makes me think the reason it's not included on the website yet is because no matter what they are saying in interviews, it's not fully nailed down yet. (unreasonable of me?.....probably).
And as an FYI for you, not everyone may be familiar with the Bioware track record of being able to select to play as a male or female....I know I wasn't when we first got DA:O as a Christmas gift, and I was meh about it until I saw the character creator and not only saw that I could pick gender, but race.
I also didn't know about Fem!Shep until the marketing push for picking a default female shepard pre-ME3.....if it hadn't been for that I wouldn't have bought the games. And again I was like "Huh, didn't know you could play a female commander shepard" I have now gone back and bought and played all the BW games I could get my hands on.
Coworker didn't know about it until she was asking about new games to play....I started discussing Mass Effect and DA....and told her "Ignore all the images on the websites, you can play as male or female in these games. And in DA:O you can even play as an Elf or Dwarf!." Her response to me was "I never would have picked these up if I hadn't known that....she's already bought and downloaded all the 5 games to start playing through this weekend.
They posted this on twitter literally two days ago.
Also, we've had loads of artwork of the female inquisitor. For example, the inquisitor in the background of this website, and this one:
It is disappointing that we haven't seen them in game yet, however.

Ah, i expected you meant games in general, if it's just RPGs you feel like that with, i can respect that.

AAAAAANNNNNNNDDDDD You miss my point about the OFFICAL game WEBSITE.
Not everyone follows Twitter (just look at the number of people here on the BSN that ask others to tweet questions for them).
'Cause those images ain't on the website.
(I do love the smirk on the lady quizzy's face)
My initial confusion about what you meant i think is still valid though. Especially if you know about BioWare.
But i won't get into it anymore, your opinion is your own, and i will respect that.
Hope you end up enjoying the game 
And i also do hope they release a trailer with a fem inquisitor, which i'm sure they will at some point.
I absolutely LOVE the top of the mage staff (that dragon!) but I'm not crazy about the bottom. Maybe I can customize it with the crafting system? Fingers crossed!
CAUTION: Handle with care. Very hot. Which Flames of the Inquisition weapon will you wield? pic.twitter.com/WvlclhJeWE
I hardly ever play as an Archer but that bow...

I wasn't talking about that point.
You said that 'unless it is confirmed officially...I'm not preordering'.
Well there you go: it's confirmed officially. Go nuts.
No, it may not be on the website, but we will definitely be able to play as a female. So there you are.
I don't know. The flames look unhealthy.
Well this is me done for the foreseeable future. If I change my mind before the game comes out or not I don't know.

Why are you trying to convince Jaulen to buy the game? 
The female inquisitor will receive her share of official advertisement soon enough. If Jaulen wants to wait for that to happen then it's Jaulen's choice.
I'm confident we'll have a trailer featuring one soon enough.

Chill. Come back when you're thirsty for more info.

Wow, doesn't take much to turn you off.
I wonder if you could ride into Westeros with that Fire Sword and declare it to be the True Lightbringer?

I care less about a trailer and more about the information being on the website.
(I understand the effort difference between a trailer and some static images or words on a website)
Especially after them patting themselves on the back so proudly on Monday about a 'gender neutral' box art....
Then to see the trailer, get hyped up think "OMFG THIS LOOKS AWESOME!" and then to see nothing on the website?
Yeah, it was a kick.

Errr so? I mean I don't know about everybody but I hardly ever go to that website lol Even after they remade and added a bunch of things to it, I was there for like 5 mins total.
There's something call google, in case you guys haven't noticed. And just putting in Dragon Age Inquisition, or better yet, just Dragon Age, and bunch of info, link to their twitter, facebook, forum...etc.. pop up. if you have question, type in "can we play as female in DA:I" and eureka! Magical! I know.
Unless people are too lazy to spend few mins doing some research, and expect everything to be put on a spoon and fed to them, I don't see the problem here.
i cant believe some people here are not sure they will be able to play as a female....hello? arent you on bioware forum??

Don't be surprised... Aren't you on bioware forum? You should expect to see this kind of things

Ooh, does this mean the staff will have flames? Will we have glowing staves and stuff like we've seen in HoDA?? I'd love that! 8D
Well I'm confident the official website will feature female and non human inquisitors soon enough.
The official marketing push has only just begun.
Hence my terming it Lazy marketing, since words would have taken seconds to add in when they were designing the website.

Funny, most can care less about the official website and all information put on there.
Stop splitting hairs and get off your ****** high horse, you are literally complaining for the sake of it now since you know the answer to the question already. People know you can choose the gender of the character, where or when it is said is almost irrelevant in a world of multi-media connectivity and constant twitter updates. That is why its likely not on the webpage at this time.
