female inquisitor has been shown exclusively for the past few months and yet you still complain when the dude is shown. you people give anti feminists more ammo because you've shown that you don't care about equal representation, you just to dominate.
No . There was one trailer about Female Inquisitor and we barely see her . How is that Equal ?? So for Equal the next Trailer..should be for female Inquisitor shown like the one we just had today .
Yes femquisitor has been seen in gameplay videos, but I like to see her in a trailer like the male Inquisitor.
Yeah with her voice ringing just after Vivi voice . And see HER...close up like we did saw in male Inquisitor trailer .
Yes one thing I've said before and I'll say again. Game play vids are great but only matter for people active in the gaming crowd, which most gamers are not. Every single game play vid could include the female inquisitor (which is far from the case currently), and it would make zero difference to all the people who will only ever see trailers. Trailers reach everybody, game play vids reach a very small faction of the gaming community.
Until the female Inquisitor is in a REAL trailer and obvious, I don't really think it matters if she's in one, none or all game play vids. That's just my opinion though.
Plus being unwilling to show such, demonstrated that they're unwilling to back her in the real market on the equivalent of the big screen.
So true . I stopped watching Trailer....the last trailer I saw before coming here , was Neverwinter Night 2 Trailer . And again it was a Dude . After that , I kept playing games but didnt bother watch any trailer . Because I knew it be again a Dude...why would I go look and torture myself ?
I got Mass effect Serie Late (2years ago) ' and I didnt bother watching the trailer either . Dragon Age same .
Heck , I didnt even knew they made a female Shep Trailer lol found it on YT by coincidence when I was on there . 
And this forum ? my friend Shinie showed me the place .
So yeah it is Important !!

Citation for what? My opinion?
I could totally be wrong, but I think this DAI trailer shows a female Inquisitor... her voice maybe? And the Inquisitor standing on the stairs with everyone at the ends looks a bit female to me.

to the person who said that more people watch trailers than game play, you are blatantly wrong.
e3 game play part 1 has 671k views
part 2 has 348k.
ign's gamescom game play video has 621k
enemies of thedas has 555k,
discover the dragon age has 571k
fires above 588k
game play and trailers get the same number of views that's a FACT
These numbers reflect the number of people who seek out videos for games they enjoy. Or, in other words, the hardcore gamers. What these numbers don't include are the people who only see the trailer for a game on TV or when it pops up as an add before a video, and those are ALWAYS trailers and not game play videos. So while it's true that all of the numbers you presented above are accurate, they are also only a piece of the total number of views. We can be conservative and assume that the trailers only receive half again as many views from "casual" gamers and the trailers would still get a million more views, 2.5m to 1.6m.

The most popular DA video is
at 1.6 million views.
None of the gameplay vids with the female inquisitor even come close to that number.

Yeah thats the only trailer for Female Inquisitor . And we barely see her...............................................

Isn't that also the first real trailer we ever got?
Isn't that also the first real trailer we ever got?
Yep.
I highly doubt most people watch each and every trailer that comes out to be honest. And I'd guess fewer still watch the gameplay vids. (By no means am I saying an insignificant number do this. Just...not as many).
I've watched plenty of trailers for a game and completely forgot about the game because the trailer didn't get me interested in the game.

If you have to squint, tilt your head, rewind, and pause to be sure you actually saw a female main character it doesn't really count.

Yep this. Plus if I weren't on this website or following the game closely how am I supposed to know that's the main character's voice? It could be a female character or companion as other trailers use female cast member voices that aren't the main character quite often too... I've learned the hard way that just because you hear a female in the trailer or see one in the background of a cover doesn't mean you can play a female.
I was so hoping the next trailer would show different races and both genders being awesome instead it's an action trailer and a human male as all three classes again... sigh. 
The really sad thing is that after the twitch stream yesterday and scout Harding (she's seriously gorgeous and deadly) and the custom armour trench coat Mike's character was wearing I was really excited and now... not so much. (Really a trenchcoat with cloth physics and everything 
) I think I need to go re-watch that again and see if that cheers me back up.

So you would also reject attempts to be gender-neutral? The box art, for example?
No although if the only other image on the box is then a male inquisitor it becomes far less gender neutral as people will associate the gender neutral image as a male because of a male elsewhere in that helmet... it would be true if a female was the only other image as well. Unless both or neither are on the box art in which case it may depend on people's preconceptions but gender neutral would be more obvious then. At least that's how I see it.
Personally I'd like that gender neutral picture to be the only image of the inquisitor on the box and a blurb on the back that says you can play as either gender, one of four races, and one of 3 classes.
The problem with the trailers is that only the one with the female inquisitor is ambiguous and in fact comes closest to gender neutral, the rest are very clearly male inquisitor being pretty awesome. It would be nice to have at least one trailer where female inquisitor also got to be awesome and actually kick ass too .
So you would also reject attempts to be gender-neutral? The box art, for example?
I would prefer a clearly female main character on the box over a gender neutral one. Because of the history of video games, I would argue that the majority of people looking at a character with an indefinite sex will naturally assume the character is actually male.
For the record, here is my preference of box art in order of most preferential to least:
1. Both a male and female version of the same character given equal space devoted to them
2. A clearly female main character
3. A gender-neutral main character
4. A clearly male main character
Just adding one more request here for a Female Inquisitor Trailer, please! (And having a definite Female Main Character on the box when it comes to me would be like icing on the cake.)
Anyone from Bioware going to pop in and tell us that they're listening, that our views are important to them, and they'll take our suggestions on board? No? Sigh...

Generally or about this specific trailer? Because there has been a general acknowledgment. Allan Schumacher is basically a thread regular.

Yep. His hasn't been around because, well, he's been doing his job. 
@Lilaeth I'm pretty sure he'll be around soon enough. I might drop him a PM. He can't do much about things like that very disappointing trailer, but he can at least pass information to his co-workers.
As far as the trailer having yet another human white guy with stubble, nevermind a PoC or a woman, my disappointment was huge. It wasn't just that the female Inquisitior is an afterthought for the official trailer, yet again. It isn't even that it's a guy. It's that it's so lacking in imagination that, in a game with multiple races, we're treated to the same looking hero again. Not a black or brown man; not a dwarf or elf or Qunari; it's Generic Looking White Dude #1145.
Good gods, take off the helm and it's this crap. Again.
I was hoping that a woman would be in the trailer this time, rather than the grand total of 10 seconds she was in before. The narration from the fem Inquisitor doesn't count for me; no one outside of the forums and uber fans is going to realize that it is the female Inquisitor speaking. They'll just think it's some NPC, since all she has is a "blink and you miss it" appearance.

LIKE +1 ! I'm out of Like.............Grrrrrr !
I'm going to have to try my hand at making a marketing trailer for DAI after the game is out and I can record footage of various Inquisitors.
"What kind of hero will YOU be?"
"Choose your gender/race/class."
"Hundreds of possible combinations."
"YOU decide who will save Thedas."
"DRAGON AGE INQUISITION... coming November 18th. Preorder now."
Good Idea !
If I could..I make one for a Lady Inquisitor...........and put all the ladies in it..........then never put it online..cose I'm weird like that
