Avowed, the latest RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, expands upon the rich fantasy world of Eora, first introduced in the Pillars of Eternity series. While Eora boasts a diverse range of races, Avowed's character creator offers a more limited selection. Let's explore the playable races available at launch.
Humans (Folk)
Humans, or Folk as they're known in-game, are the most common race in Avowed and are well-represented in the character creator. As part of the broader Kith group—a term encompassing various sentient, civilized species—humans offer extensive customization options. You'll find a wide array of facial presets, a comprehensive skin tone slider, and diverse hair textures, providing ample choices for creating a unique character.
Elves
Elves are another playable race in Avowed. Visually similar to humans, elves are distinguished by their slightly different facial structures and, of course, their characteristic long, pointed ears.
Godlikes
While all Envoys in the game's narrative are Godlikes, players can choose to incorporate or omit Godlike features in their character creation. Godlikes possess unique hair and facial features, ranging from subtle to strikingly surreal. At launch, 14 distinct Godlike facial features and four hairstyles are available, regardless of chosen race or body type.
Character Creator: Gender and Body Types
Avowed offers four body types: two masculine and two feminine. These options are available for both Humans and Elves. Players can also select from two masculine and two feminine voice options, and choose between "he," "she," and "they" pronouns to customize their character's identifier.
Unplayable Races
While Avowed features a diverse cast of Non-Player Characters (NPCs) representing various Kith races, not all are currently playable. Dwarves, the semiaquatic Aumaua, and the smaller, hairy Orlans, while present in the game world, are not currently available as playable races. However, Obsidian Entertainment may add more races in future updates or DLC.
That covers all currently playable races in Avowed. For more character creation details, check out our guide to the available backgrounds.
