Having absolutely nothing to do with Trespasser except for the fact the trailer featured a female IQ...
I'd pay good money for a lithograph of that piece with a female Inquisitor.
Please?
Inquisition Last Supper with a Female IQ?

Unfortunately it doesn't exist... officially anyway. Hopefully next game will have more diverse promotional material.

I know, but they were willing to go back and redo the CGI trailer for ME 3 to present FemShep... It's a pipe dream but hey, I had to make the effort.

At least the past two DLCs have featured a female inquisitor and several trailers at release featured Alix as well.

Yeah, better late than never. Though the cynic in me can't help but think that's at least partly because the DLC ads are targeting fans, instead of newcomers. They might think it's "safer" to show most of the main trailers with males for that reason, but not with DLC trailers, which makes me sad. What also makes me sad is I tweeted one of the ME:A people asking if they would have equal promotional material for ME:A, and they ignored me. I find Dragon Age's team a bit more progressive and mature, so that makes sense. Anyway, I'm rambling.
Hope this all gets normalized soon!

That's not cynicism, it is good market sense. Bioware/EA will always promote a male avatar over a female one during pre-release trailers (demos are more iffy as they, as you said, target fans rather than newcomers). For DLC you need the base game, thus the target switches from people who have never purchased a DA game before to current owners, and that market tends to appreciate more 'equality' in advertising, while general markets want to see badass dudes.
Its just marketing, as long as the majority of gamers use a male avatar that will be the 'norm' for advertising. It isn't wrong, and it isn't sexist, it just is.
