All Playable Races in Avowed
*Avowed* expands upon the rich and diverse Fantasy world of Eora, first introduced in the *Pillars of Eternity* series. While the game features a variety of Kith races, the character creator in *Avowed* offers a more limited selection of playable races. Here's a comprehensive look at the races you can choose from in *Avowed*:
Humans (Known In-Universe as Folk)
In *Avowed*, Humans, referred to as Folk, are the most prevalent race both in the game world and within the character creator. As part of the Kith, a term encompassing various sentient and civilized species, Humans are central to the narrative and player experience.
The character customization for Humans in *Avowed* is designed to be inclusive, offering a broad range of options. Players can access numerous presets, detailed customization tools, and a variety of facial features, skin tones, and hair textures. This allows players to craft a character that closely aligns with their personal identity.
Elves
Elves represent another selectable race in *Avowed*. Visually, Elves are quite similar to Humans, distinguished mainly by their unique facial structures and iconic long, pointed ears. This subtle differentiation adds a layer of diversity to the character creation process.
Godlikes
The third and final playable race option in *Avowed* is the Godlikes. While all Envoys in the game's story are Godlike, players have the flexibility to decide whether to display these distinctive features. Godlikes boast unique hair and facial characteristics, ranging from subtle to surreal. At launch, players can choose from 14 different Godlike facial features and four Godlike hair styles, available across all character races and body types.
What Gender Options are Available in the Avowed Character Creator? Answered
In *Avowed*, players can select from four distinct Body Types: two masculine and two feminine, applicable to both Humans and Elves. Additionally, there are two voice options for each gender category. Players can also customize their character's identifier, choosing from he, she, or they pronouns, which influences how the character is referred to in the game.
Several Races Present in Avowed Are Not Playable
While *Avowed* showcases a diverse array of Kith races through its NPCs, not all are available for player customization. Races such as Dwarves, the semiaquatic Aumaua, and the diminutive, hairy Orlans are encountered throughout the Living Lands but are not options in the character creator. However, Obsidian Entertainment might consider adding these races in future updates or DLCs, expanding the character creation possibilities for *Avowed*.
