"Avowed: Every Playable Race Revealed"

*Avowed* expands upon the richly detailed fantasy world of Eora, first introduced in the *Pillars of Eternity* series of isometric RPGs. While the game boasts a variety of Kith races, the character creator in *Avowed* offers a more limited selection. Here's a comprehensive look at all the playable races available in *Avowed*.

Humans (Known In-Universe as Folk)

In *Avowed*, Humans, also known as Folk, are the most prevalent race you'll encounter, both in the game world and in the character creator. As part of the broader Kith group, which includes various sentient and civilized species, Humans offer a broad range of customization options. The character creator provides numerous presets, along with detailed tools for customization. Players can choose from a variety of facial presets, adjust skin tones via a slider, and select from different hair textures, allowing for a personalized character that resonates with a wide audience.

Elves

Elves are another race available for selection in *Avowed*. Visually, Elves are very similar to Humans, with the main differences being slightly varied default facial structures and their signature long, pointed ears. This race offers players another avenue for creating their character within the world of Eora.

Godlikes

A third, unique race option in *Avowed* is the Godlikes. Although all Envoys in the story are Godlike, players have the choice to either display or conceal these distinctive features. Godlikes come with unique hair and facial features, ranging from the subtle to the surreal. At the launch of *Avowed*, players can select from 14 Godlike facial features and four Godlike hair options, which are accessible across all character types, regardless of race or body type.

What Gender Options are Available in the Avowed Character Creator?

In *Avowed*, players have the flexibility to choose from four different Body Types. Options include masculine or feminine body types, available for both Humans and Elves. Additionally, there are two voice options for each gender - feminine and masculine. Players can also select their character's identifier, which determines the pronouns used for them in-game. Choices include he, she, or they, allowing for a more personalized and inclusive character creation experience.

Several Races Present in Avowed Are Not Playable

It's worth noting that not all races present in *Avowed* are available for players to choose from in the character creator. While you'll encounter Dwarves, semiaquatic Aumaua, and the half-sized, hairy Orlans as NPCs across the Living Lands, these races are not options for your player character. However, Obsidian Entertainment may consider adding more race options in future updates or DLCs for *Avowed*.
