www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/09/27/mass-effect-2s-all-powerful-bitch/I think it's safe to say that BioWare's advertising department is doing a hell of a retarded job. It's most likely that advertising a story based, stat oriented, slow paced game like Mass Effect or Dragon: Age as a kill/screw/swear fest is attracting the wrong crowd and pushing away the right kind. Needless to say, you do get to see a new party member in the trailer, and yes she is a love interest. Kind of reminds me of an angry pissed off, Vanguard Annie Lennox.

Mister Glow already introduced us to this trailer - see the 'Subject Zero' thread.
The advert does do a very childish job of trying to make her look cool. I see some potential in the character and I hope she's better than this makes out.

I'm sorry to jump in debating about BioWare's tactic in the adverts but I have my own thoughts about it.
One thing I've didn't like about the Violance ad in Dragon Age: Origins is the music. It's very unsuited to the fantasy settings. Really. As Cali said, it only attracts the wrong crowds while scaring off some of the actual audienace.
Also to be honest... I'll find it more acceptable if they pick off something from Nightwish but Maryn Manson... well just seems to be odd for me.

Yes I thought the Marilyn Manson was an odd choice, but it kind of amused me for some reason. The song was 'This Is The New Shit' so I think maybe they chose it for that reason - to introduce the new game in a bombastic kind of way.

Bombastic. lol Mister Buch have you time warped back to the early 90's?
Dragon age just hasn't appealed to me in any of the trailers I've seen. They decided to show some bad acting, bad dialog and bad fight scenes. Makes me think -Dragon age = bad much like a supermarket with toliet accessories by the doors = poo shop. Yes that was an Eddie Izzard reference.

Lol at the toilet accessories referance.
Well, I'm still getting the game despite the shithouse advertisment I'm still getting the game. Hopefully the toolsets are awesome to work with... then I could make a mod that fun of "this new shit".
