You heard me right. It is clearly implied that a male Inquisitor can romance Sera in this trailer. She is shown with him just as the Narrator mentions romance. Now those who have been following the games development obviously know Sera likes the ladies only. So why is she presented in this way? What is the motive behind this. Why was Sera not shown with the female Inquisitor? Alternatively why was Maninquisitor not  clearly shown with one of his actual possible romances? Namely Dorian, Cassandra, Josephine or the Iron Bull. Now I know that it is Josephine he is kissing. But they are shown in shadow and from a distance. So if you do not know what Josephine looks like (or rather what her silhouette looks like since that is all that is shown) and or know next to nothing about who can romance who then that could be any female. Sera included. Why was this trailer crafted this way? I am upset about this. It seems to me that some effort is being made to hide the fact that there are romances available other than for a male Inquisitor. And I cannot approve of any motive behind that.

 

   Before you say this has no merit please consider this. We all know the purpose of these trailers. They are to sell the game. To as many folk as possible. If that is true then why give vague, misleading if not outright false info about the romances? I have only one explanation. And that is so that straight and narrow male gamers will be attracted to play the game if they think they can get it on with the hawt elf chick. If that was not the goal when making this part of the trailer than Sera would not have been portrayed as a love interest for a male Inquisitor. She would either have not been shown with the male when the romances are mentioned or he would have been with any of his real options. She was prominently  shown ALONE talking with the dude. And then immediately he is shown kissing someone. A female someone that again could be Sera to the casual uninformed eye. This is not me reading into things or being unreasonable. It is not unreasonable to want the truth to be shown. It is not looking for fault that isn't there. If this was not intentional then it is at least incompetent. Either way I am not pleased with it.

I'm going to close this down because we're already wandering into "Pander to me" and "corrective sex" angles (bisexuality as a compromise, etc.)

 

While I understand what OP is saying, I will disagree that people who feel we're clearly pointing out that this specific character (shown briefly on the screen as Sera) are not also able to discern that Josephine (also shown briefly in a quick shot) is a different character.

 

I don't say this to point out that the interpretation of the OP is wrong, but rather to illustrate that any of this is more likely "we didn't see it that way" and to Occam's Razor that the connection is more than likely unintentionally especially since anyone that doesn't follow the game close enough already is devoid of enough context that you now have to make an argument that we specifically chose Sera because she'd be better to show in that place instead of Cass or Josephine.  I don't feel there's a convincing reason why, but I'm probably also biased because personally Cass and Josie would be more my style than Sera would be.  So I think a lot of personal perspectives come into play.

 

 

Additionally, it's a fair critique that it's male protag heavy as well.
