Avowed, set in the expansive Eora world from the Pillars of Eternity series, offers a diverse range of fantasy races, though character creation options are somewhat limited. Here's a breakdown of the playable races:
Humans (Folk)
Humans, or Folk, are the most common race in Avowed and offer extensive customization. The character creator provides numerous presets, detailed facial customization tools, a skin tone slider, and a variety of hair textures, ensuring broad 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 or omit Godlike features. These features include unique and varied hair and facial options, ranging from subtle to fantastical. At launch, 14 Godlike facial features and four hair styles are available, regardless of race or body type.
Character Customization: Gender and Pronouns
Avowed offers four body types: two masculine and two feminine, available for Humans and Elves. Two masculine and two feminine voice options are also available. Players can select their character's identifier, determining the pronouns used (he/him, she/her, or they/them).
Unplayable Races
While Avowed features various Kith races (Dwarves, Aumaua, Orlans) as non-player characters, these are currently unavailable for player character creation. However, future updates or DLC may expand these options.
