Avowed, set in the rich fantasy world of Eora from the Pillars of Eternity series, offers a selection of playable races, though character customization remains somewhat limited. Here's a breakdown of the available options:

Humans (Folk)

Humans, or Folk, are the most common race in Avowed. The game provides extensive customization options for humans, including diverse presets, detailed facial features, skin tone adjustments, and a variety of hairstyles.

Elves

Elves are another playable race. They share a similar appearance to humans, distinguished primarily 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 or omit Godlike features in their character creation. Godlikes offer unique hair and facial options, ranging from subtle to fantastical. At launch, 14 distinct facial features and four hairstyles are available. These options are consistent across all races and body types.

Gender and Body Type Options

Avowed provides four body types: two masculine and two feminine. These are available for both Humans and Elves. Two masculine and two feminine voice options are also available. Players can select their character's pronouns (he/him, she/her, they/them).

Unplayable Races

While numerous races inhabit the world of Avowed, including Dwarves, Aumaua, and Orlans, these are currently not playable. However, future updates or DLC may introduce additional playable races.
