*Avowed* expands upon the richly detailed Fantasy world of Eora from the *Pillars of Eternity* series, offering players a glimpse into its diverse cultures. While the game features a variety of races known as Kith, the character creation options are more streamlined. Here's a comprehensive look at all the playable races in *Avowed*.
Humans (Known In-Universe as Folk)
Humans, referred to as Folk within the world of *Avowed*, are the most common race you'll encounter in the game, and this is reflected in the character creator. As part of the broader Kith category, which includes various sentient and civilized species, humans offer extensive customization options. With a variety of facial presets, a skin tone slider, and diverse hair textures, *Avowed* aims to cater to a wide range of player preferences, enabling you to craft a character that feels uniquely yours.
Elves
Elves are another option for players in *Avowed*. Visually, they are quite similar to humans, with the notable differences being slightly altered facial structures and the iconic long, pointed ears. This subtle distinction adds a unique flair to your character if you choose to play as an elf.
Godlikes
A third race, Godlikes, is also available for players to select in *Avowed*. Although all Envoys in the game's story are Godlike, you have the option to either showcase or hide these distinctive features. Godlikes come with unique hair and facial options, ranging from the subtle to the surreal. At launch, *Avowed* offers 14 different Godlike facial features and four distinct hair options, all of which are accessible regardless of your chosen race or body type.
What Gender Options are Available in the Avowed Character Creator? Answered
In *Avowed*, you have the flexibility to choose from four body types. You can opt for either a masculine or feminine body type for both Humans and Elves. Additionally, there are two voice options for each gender—feminine and masculine. Players can also select their preferred pronoun, choosing from he, she, or they, ensuring a personalized experience that reflects your identity.
Several Races Present in Avowed Are Not Playable
While *Avowed* boasts a diverse world filled with various Kith races, not all are available for player customization. You'll encounter NPCs of races such as Dwarves, the semiaquatic Aumaua, and the diminutive, hairy Orlans in the Living Lands, but these options are not currently accessible in the character creator. However, there's always the chance that Obsidian Entertainment could expand these options in future updates or DLCs for *Avowed*.
