You are correct; these are just some detached clips strung throughout the trailer, and they could be unindicative of a personality shift.

On the flip side, they could also be genuine representation of emphatic changes done to his character. Hence, the reason I said I am 'hesitant' about it.

When Lush was used in the D2 trailer, and the Outsider had a slight amused grin upon his face as he picked up the mask, there was something new (the slight amusement) along with the familiar, his smooth drawling voice as he reminisces about a familiar face.

Now, however, we have a more passionate tone (and I realize the term passionate may be off here, as I mean a voice with more life to it), but also different mannerisms and behaviors that the Outsider seems to be manifesting.

He sits on a piano, he catches Emily as she falls, and he seems overall to be more influencing or participatory in the narrative as opposed to simply doling out powers and seeing what's what.

Before, he was like a voice-over or exposition hound who merely gave brief snippets of information, and expressed a dry, more querying tone. "What will you do? How will this play out? Hm, what happens when this occurs?"

Now it's more like he's sitting on the piano waving to Corvo with a 'Notice me!' kinda attitude.

As you have pointed out, the few crumbs we've been handed aren't enough to justify total misgivings on my part, but I am preparing myself for what could be a significant shift in his personality.

Also, if there is a valid reason for this shift, then I'll gladly take it. Delilah may be destroying or reworking the Void to her own flavor and this could be having drastic effects on the Outsider resulting in mood change.

But if there is no explanation other than 'REASONS!' then I cry foul.
