All Playable Races in Avowed

*Avowed* expands on the rich Fantasy world of Eora, first introduced in the *Pillars of Eternity* series of isometric RPGs. While the game features a variety of races within the Kith, the character creator offers a more limited selection. Here's a comprehensive look at the playable races in *Avowed*.

Humans (Known In-Universe as Folk)

Humans, referred to as Folk within *Avowed*, are the most common race both in the game world and in the character creator. As part of the broader Kith category, which includes various sentient and civilized species, humans are central to the narrative and gameplay.

The character customization for humans in *Avowed* is designed to cater to a wide audience. Players can choose from numerous presets and utilize detailed customization tools. These include a variety of facial presets, a skin tone slider, and diverse hair textures, ensuring players can create a character that closely represents them.

Elves

Elves are another selectable race in *Avowed*. They closely resemble humans but are distinguished by slightly different facial structures and, of course, their iconic long, pointed ears.

Godlikes

A third race option in *Avowed* is the Godlikes. Although all Envoys in the story are Godlike, players can opt to display these unique features or not. Godlikes come with distinctive hair and facial features, ranging from subtle to surreal. At the launch of *Avowed*, players can choose from 14 Godlike facial features and four Godlike hair options, which are 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 Body Types: two masculine and two feminine, available for both Humans and Elves. Additionally, there are two voice options for each gender. Players can also choose their character's identifier, which determines the pronouns used for them, with options including he, she, and they.

Several Races Present in Avowed Are Not Playable

While *Avowed* features a diverse array of Kith races among NPCs, not all are available for player customization. Races such as Dwarves, semiaquatic Aumaua, and the diminutive Orlans appear in the game but cannot be selected in the character creator. However, there's potential for Obsidian Entertainment to introduce additional race options in future updates or DLC for *Avowed*.
