Avowed, set in the rich fantasy world of Eora (from the Pillars of Eternity series), offers a diverse range of races, though character creation options are somewhat limited. Here's a breakdown of the playable races:
Humans (Folk)
Humans, known as Folk in Avowed, are the most common race. They fall under the broader "Kith" category, encompassing various sentient species. Avowed provides extensive human customization, including numerous presets, detailed facial features, skin tone options, and diverse hairstyles.
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 hair and facial options, ranging from subtle to fantastical. At launch, 14 Godlike facial features and four hairstyles 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 identifier, determining the pronouns used (he/him, she/her, or they/them).
Unplayable Races
While several Kith races populate the world of Avowed as NPCs (including Dwarves, Aumaua, and Orlans), these are currently unavailable for player characters. However, future updates or DLC may expand character creation options.
