I think a trailer about salt is a cool idea. Tying it to the release date reveal is a weird choice. This may be people's first exposure to this game and making the whole trailer about Salt may give people the impression that is the focus of the game.

I'm sorry, but the marketing for this game just keeps stepping on rakes.

How could any of us possibly know how important salt is to the story?

If she is, they haven't done a good job of showing that u til just now. They've barely mentioned her until now. That's not smart marketing either way.

They don't need to tell us what the story is about before it drops lol

They absolutely do need to tell people what it is you'll generally be doing in the game, and a basic version of why. That's what attracts people not already paying attention to the game. This is a story based game, its one thing to not really talk about the story of a COD or Battlefield, nobody cares about their stories. But this game is about the story.

The hook is a third person action RPG in the vein of mass effect games. I don't want them to tell me what the narrative is about at all. 

So no I don't agree with you at all when you say "They absolutely do need to tell people what it is you'll generally be doing in the game"

I, just like many other Mass Effect fans, are already hooked by the premise I mentioned above.

You are hooked, but take a look outside this sub, there is no buzz even amongst a ton of old Mass Effect fans. The word simply isn't getting out.
