All Playable Races in Avowed

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 at launch. 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 sliders for skin tone, and a wide variety of hair textures and styles, ensuring players can create a highly personalized human character.

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 Godlike features into their character's appearance. These features include unique hair and facial options, ranging from subtle to striking, with 14 facial and four hair options available at launch. These options 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, choosing between "he," "she," or "they" pronouns.

Unplayable Races

While many races populate the world of Avowed, including Dwarves, Aumaua, and Orlans, these are currently not playable. However, Obsidian Entertainment may add these races in future updates or DLC.
