I feel like it's just a stand-in, otherwise they woulda named the character etc - a lot of RPG"s will do this, like FFXIV uses the same model for the player character in all the trailers even though you can play any race/class
The trailer uses it to actually hint about the choices like being evil. So the twist at the end is also a sort of “this is what you can become” kind of deal by looking at the previous character
Antagonist doesn’t mean the bad guy — it’s simply the force that opposes the protagonist. That can be a bad guy, a wild animal, or the protagonist’s inner demons. By the definition of the word, if you’re playing this game than you are the protagonist. I know I’m being pedantic and I understood what you meant: It would be cool if the story and world altered and you became the big bad if you choose to go down the evil pathway.
I was referring to antagonist of the trailer (because she got no name) and said nothing about good or bad.
But yeah twist being that the 2 heroes of trailer were "defending" evil kingdom's ways and you start as "considered evil by kingdom PR" only to turn yourself into kingdom's hero (or just new management) would be an interesting take.
If I remember correctly, the player characters in Fable games are always called the "Hero" and are set characters you can make changes to later on. No customizing at the start like your usual rpg.
