I think it goes both ways. A lot of crazy types found their way here from Tumblr.

shame...

OP do you like Trump?

On a serious note why did we even reply to this thread in the first place. OP is either a troll or unironically uses cuck. Both of which would indicate that he can't even be remotely taken serious.

I find myself, as usual, agreeing with a lot of whats already been posted and disagreeing with a fair amount of whats been posted as well... but thats discussion for you

 

My two'penneth... the Sci Fi answer is that in the ME universe, at least in the Alliance Navy, it looks like male and female have achieve parity and so for recruitment purposes I'm pretty sure they use images of both male and female so as to encourage the widest number of 'humans' to join up

 

As for now and marketing a video game well I think the same good sense should apply and please don't shoot me when I say I also think it would be a good thing to encourage more women gamers to play games like ME... and why not show you can play as both a male and female character?  Not all games give you the option and its something BW should be proud of and let people know about.

 

The duel cinematice trailers for ME3 were great but I think the female one came out later? 

 

Anyway shoot me now for saying that to be fair humaity is a 50% (roughly lets not argue) split between the sex's and so why not have a female head up the early teaser?  And this is meant to be advertising to draw in gamers who may not know everything there is to know about ME:A because they don't hang out on BSN  spitballing 'what if's' for the last god knows how long 

 

I think what we will end up with, if there is a choice between siblings to be the protag, is either a helmeted genderless human on the game cover or both 'faces', moody lighting with a tag line something like 'which path will you choose'

Fun fact people who bash Trump and scream he is sexist and racist, can't tell even one point he said or what policies he want to implement then he is elected. They just talk **** because it's cool.

[SKAR]

What about men? Keep it 50/50 bioware.

I forget, isn't he the buffoon who said America should build a wall separating Mexico from the US? A president who actually looks to Game of Thrones for policy ideas is perfectly open to be criticized if you ask me, not because its trendy 

 

As to the OP, I couldn't care less.

 

The original trilogy had a male Shepard on the promo and marketing and was considered the default Shepard, so why not a female Ryder this time for Andromeda?

 

Of course, given gaming's environment, BioWare will have to release a default male Ryder trailer soon, lest they incur the wrath of etc. (the internet)

Don't you worry - nobody is going to shoot you, they all will be busy shooting me for what I am going to say.

 

I do not like the face from the trailer and I think it is as "anti-promoting", as it could be for the game with shooter and space-adventure elements in it. Here, I said it. Shoot me now.

I can even explain why I think so. In ME both default Shepards - M and F - looked bad-ass. You looked as the box\poster and you immediately felt the mood of the game, that rash, thrill, blood, stars and fire. Now with that Sara-like puny little mouse with the look of a shy ugly-duckling-least-popular-school-girl with a voice of a frightened teenager - all I can expect is "Life is strange" at best. Good game, sure, but has nothing to do with either shooters or space adventures. 

 

I am still curious about mRyder, but hope BW is going to stick to their idea and simply do not reveal faces and genders of protagonist on the posters.

[Serza]

Woah. Woah. Slow down a little bit. Have you seen how good-looking Ryder is? We need some more of her in the trailers and posters!

[Gileadan]

That Ryder lady may well just be an early design that's subject to change. Remember how different from the first trailer DAI's Morrigan turned out in the final game.

Stop raining on my parade!

And on the other side, FemRyder is the first default Bio character that I've ever even considered playing.

Which doesn't make you wrong, though. I think that most gamers have awful taste.

I'd give your right arm for ME:A to have a quarter of the quality of that game's character development and themes.

Which bring us to the question: who do they try to appeal in advertisements - majority or minority with acquainted taste?

 

Though I have to admin, PR department of BW was always a mystery to me.

[AlanC9]

Maybe Bio thinks we're better than we are?

[FKA_Servo]

I really, really doubt that.

[SnakeCode]

I'm sure there will be some angsty teen lesbian drama with god awful dialogue to sate LiS fans.

[CrystalSpectre]

Seen some here say otherwise, not me though. Think she's pretty too, opinions man.

Yeah, but that won't stop me from pushing my god'amn agenda!

 

Trailer Ryder is being oppressed! We must stahp dat!

[TevinterSupremacist]

What is even the point of a "default" in a make your own character game?

Why should there be one?

If anything, promotional art could have many different ryders, some times showing us two different ones in the same trailer, doing the same scene differently to illustrate the different possible outcomes.

The man is a buffoon. An idiot. What he said about mexicans being rapists, obvious Liar, building a wall and making Mexico pay for it......none of that will ever get past Congress. The Freaking actual Republicans don't even want this guy. The only Leo voting for this guy are lazy racist white trash fools. MOFO is quoting Mussolini and then goes on to say I only want to be associated with good quotes. You know, go check out his Twitter page or watch the tonight show with Trevor Noah. Only a **** for brains believes that bull. Not sayin thats you but If you like Trump you're on your way. He's no Savior, He's a power hungry fool. That's all.

The point is that typically in marketing you have a single identifiable character as the face of your marketing campaign to make it more instantly recognizable to people.

 

Although one can argue that DA:I was effective with their character being the Inquisitor that you really couldn't tell what gender they were.

 

Or Fallout 4 which relies more on the iconic vault suit than it does on an actual character.
