...darker, and darker?

 

Duncan was light skinned in DA:O

In DAII they darkened Isabella, she looks like a Roma gypsy.

IN this new DA game, apparently Vivienne is a Rivaini and she is BLACK.

 

It doesn't make sense in this medieval European setting to darken the pigment up of one nation. Where do these sub-Saharan esque people come from? Why aren't they more prevalent considering that historically, negroids reproduce more rapidly than Caucasoids and negroid features are dominant compared to recessive Caucasoid features when interracial mingling occurs?  

 

What are the Rivaini people? They cant be white, gypsy and black. If there are both white, gypsy and black people in Rivain, are there any racial tensions?

Taking too literal of an analogy of our world to Thedas isn't really relevant.  Similarities are in large part for familiarity, but the specifics about Earth migration/evolution etc. aren't factors in creating the world.  There are similarities for sure, but it's not binding by any means.

 

 

Also, the term Negroid is a contentious term, even in the field of forensic anthropology.  The term's decline began to occur the same time as ****** and it's arguably not an accurate depiction of the evolutionary history of human beings.
