Avowed, set in the rich fantasy world of Eora (from the Pillars of Eternity series), offers a diverse range of playable races, though character creation options remain somewhat limited at launch. Here's a breakdown of the playable races:
Humans (Folk)
Humans, or Folk, are the most common race in Avowed, offering extensive customization. The character creator provides a wide array of facial presets, skin tone options, and diverse hairstyles, ensuring a high degree of player representation.
Elves
Elves are another playable race, visually similar to humans but distinguished by their pointed ears and slightly different facial structures.
Godlikes
While all Envoys are Godlikes in the game's narrative, players can choose to incorporate Godlike features into their character's appearance. These features include unique hairstyles and facial structures, ranging from subtle to fantastical. At launch, 14 facial and four hair options are available, regardless of chosen race or body type.
Character Customization: Gender and Pronouns
Avowed offers four body types: two masculine and two feminine, available for both Humans and Elves. Two masculine and two feminine voice options are also available. Players can select their character's gender identifier, influencing the pronouns used (he, she, or they).
Unplayable Races
While several other races, such as Dwarves, Aumaua, and Orlans, populate the world of Avowed, they are currently not playable. However, future updates or DLC may expand character creation options to include these races.
