Avowed, Obsidian Entertainment's latest RPG, uses the rich fantasy world of Eora from the Pillars of Eternity series. While Eora boasts diverse races, Avowed's character creator offers a more limited selection. Here's a breakdown of the playable races:

Humans (Folk)

Humans, or Folk, are the most common race in Avowed, reflecting their prevalence in the game's world. They fall under the broader "Kith" category, encompassing various sentient species. Avowed's human character customization is extensive, offering numerous presets, detailed facial features, skin tone options, and diverse hairstyles.

Elves

Elves are another playable race. Visually similar to humans, they are distinguished by subtle facial differences and characteristic pointed ears.

Godlikes

While all Envoys are Godlikes in the game's narrative, players can choose to incorporate or omit Godlike features in their character. Godlikes offer unique and varied hair and facial options, ranging from subtle to fantastical. At launch, 14 distinct facial and four hair styles are available, applicable to all characters regardless of race or body type.

Character Customization Options: Gender and Body Type

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 also select their character's pronouns (he/him, she/her, they/them).

Unplayable Races

While many races populate Avowed's world (including Dwarves, Aumaua, and Orlans), they are currently not playable. However, future updates or DLC may expand character creation options.
