"Only the 4k trailer from December last year had Sara in it. The rest was all Scott. The official Sara Ryder trailer didn't come till the release of the game."
No, the E3 trailer from 2016 also featured her, plus as you rightly said the official Sara trailer.
"And let's make one thing clear. Just because there was a trailer like that doesn't mean this never happened:"
Well, actually it means exactly that, a game company will not change the face of a main character after it was shown in several major announcements.
As for the picture, I saw it before, its either fake or an early design.
Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. My wife for example thinks that Scot is not attractive at all. 😉
Imho the Sara Ryder we have in the game is a completely fine looking Women, the default Femshep in ME1 and 2 is way less attractive then her. (And nobody cared about that back then.)
But the main point here is that this game allows you to create your own character, so if you don't like how Sara looks you can create your own Sara.

It's not fake. It's from the launch release of the game before applying the day-one patch.
Though personally I prefer Sara the way she looks now. The comparison screenshot wasn't fair because of unflattering lighting.
Hi @Fred_vdp everything all right? 🙂

Bwahaha I totally forget about that. But you're right, it happened before, so I stand corrected.

I agree on the lighting point, and that the day-one patch was responsible for the change is the claim that is made, but back as I saw the picture first (around release) I could not find any confirmation for that. The release patch was applied to the game as it was first downloadable, so do you have any source for that?
The main point is still that the quality of this game does not depends on the look of the female main character. Especially because the game has a character creator, but I think we agree on that anyway. 😉
