*Avowed* expands on the rich fantasy world of Eora, introduced in the *Pillars of Eternity* series, offering players a glimpse into a universe filled with diverse races of Kith. However, the character creation options in *Avowed* are somewhat limited compared to the variety of races seen throughout the game. Here's a detailed look at all the playable races available in *Avowed*.

Humans (Known In-Universe as Folk)

In *Avowed*, Humans, referred to as Folk, are the most common race and dominate the character creator options. As part of the broader Kith group, which encompasses various sentient and civilized species, Humans offer a wide range of customization possibilities. The game provides numerous presets, along with detailed tools for character customization. Players can choose from various facial presets, adjust skin tones via a slider, and select from a diverse array of hair textures, ensuring a broad spectrum of representation for players to create characters that reflect their vision.

Elves

Elves represent another selectable race in *Avowed*. Visually, Elves are very similar to Humans, distinguished primarily by subtle differences in facial structure and their characteristic long, pointed ears. This race adds a touch of fantasy to the character creation process, allowing players to step into the shoes of these iconic beings.

Godlikes

The third playable race option in *Avowed* is the Godlikes. While all Envoys in the story are Godlike, players have the choice to display or hide these unique traits. Godlikes come with distinct hair and facial features, ranging from subtle to surreal. At the launch of *Avowed*, players can choose from 14 Godlike facial features and 4 Godlike hair features, which are uniformly available across all characters, regardless of their race or body type.

What Gender Options are Available in the Avowed Character Creator? Answered

*Avowed* offers four body types in its character creator: two masculine and two feminine options, available for both Humans and Elves. Players can also select from two voice options for each gender. Additionally, the game allows you to choose your character's identifier, influencing the pronouns used to refer to your character, with options for he, she, or they.

Several Races Present in Avowed Are Not Playable

While *Avowed* showcases a variety of Kith races through its NPCs, such as Dwarves, semiaquatic Aumaua, and the half-sized, hairy Orlans, these races are not available for player customization at the game's launch. However, there's potential for Obsidian Entertainment to expand the character creation options with future updates or DLCs, providing hope for players who wish to explore these races in their adventures.
