Varric's hair colour gets darker with each game, it seems.
Honestly, adopting the "hope is the first step on the path to disappointment" mentality is real healthy these days. ~3 years of waiting for BG3 to get what we got was already disappointment enough, and Bioware haven't made a good game since DA2 (yes, I consider ME3 and DA:I bad for many reasons). To be fair, a lot of fault does lie with EA rather than the devs themselves (back then the Zeschuk/Muzyka duo was still around, and the writers haven't gone off the deep end quite yet), and EA is still there, looming, shoving its rotting tendrils up whatever orifice it can get to.
As for the trailer, it's "let's play a 'spot the modern gaming trends' game" to a stupid degree. Yes, Origins' Manson trailer was really... something... back in the day, but you had to appreciate the sheer ridiculousness of it all. And then, since Inquisition, everything and everyone look like they're straight out of a YA novel, glossy and inoffensive. Boring.
