Discover the Immersive World of Avowed with Expansive Racial Options

by Riley Feb 23,2025

Avowed, set in the rich fantasy world of Eora (from the Pillars of Eternity series), offers a diverse, albeit limited, selection of playable races in its character creator. Here's a breakdown:

Humans (Folk)

Humans, or Folk, are the most common race in Avowed and boast extensive customization options. The character creator provides a wide array of facial presets, skin tone adjustments, and diverse hair styles and textures, allowing for a high degree of player representation.

Elves

Elves are another playable race, visually similar to humans but distinguished by their pointed ears and slightly different default facial structures.

Godlikes

While all Envoys are Godlikes in the game's narrative, players can choose to incorporate or omit Godlike features in their character. These features include unique hair and facial options, ranging from subtle to fantastical. At launch, Avowed offers 14 Godlike facial and four hair options, available regardless of chosen race or body type.

Character Customization: Gender and Pronouns

Avowed provides 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 further personalize their character by selecting their preferred pronouns: he, she, or they.

Unplayable Races

While Avowed features various non-playable races like Dwarves, Aumaua, and Orlans, these are currently not selectable in the character creator. However, future updates or DLC may expand these options.
