Avowed, set in the expansive Eora world from the Pillars of Eternity series, offers a diverse range of Kith races, though character creation options are somewhat limited. Here's a breakdown of the playable races:

Humans (Folk)

Humans, or Folk, are the most common race in Avowed and offer extensive customization. The character creator provides a wide array of facial presets, skin tone options, and diverse hair styles and textures, ensuring broad representation.

Elves

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

Godlikes

While all Envoys are Godlikes in the game's narrative, players can choose to incorporate or omit Godlike features. These features include unique hair and facial options, ranging from subtle to fantastical. At launch, Avowed offers 14 Godlike facial and four Godlike hair options, available to all characters regardless of 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 also select their character's pronouns (he/him, she/her, or they/them).

Unplayable Races

While many Kith races populate the game world (including Dwarves, Aumaua, and Orlans), they are currently not playable. However, Obsidian Entertainment may add more races in future updates or DLC.
