Windows Central's take
I really enjoy the style of these trailers that Arkane Austin and Bethesda are doing for each of the playable characters. All of them seem appealing, but I'm really leaning towards going with Jacob for my first playthrough.
I'm also curious about when we'll learn about the two post-launch characters that are included in the hero pass...
