Speaking of 'core female African features': Does she have a nice round shaped butt?While that is your opinion, I have to respectfully disagree.
What I like much about Vivienne and Bioware's approach to her is that she is NOT the stock image of what "mainstream society" believes to be attractive, especially when it comes to black women. Looking at the model industry as an example, for black women, many of the highly successful ones tend to have facial features that are more inline with that of "white" beauty such as thin lips, narrow face, fare (light) skin, and narrow nose. Every now and then you will see a black model who has more "African" features but most of the them fall in line with mainstream American/European "White beauty".
With Bioware essentially saying that core female African features are sexy and attractive, all while applying it to what seems to be a very confident and dominant female, I do not see how Bioware is doing anything wrong. I applaud them for making Vivi the way they made her because when I was looking at her concept art photos, I figured that they would go the route of saying, "What would white males find attractive in black women?" and as a result, would essentially take a caucasian looking female and just "paint" her with brown skin. But instead, Bioware took the bold route and again, I applaud them for that.
