Avowed lets you pretend your character’s not a stinky mushroom person, but that’s the coward’s choice

Avowed's character creator allows players to explore their identities by choosing between distinctive features of the envoy class, inspired by Pillars of Eternity, and more conventional character traits. The envoy class includes unique features like whimsical fungal growths and earthy accents, but players can opt to downplay these traits for a more ordinary appearance. This option aims to appeal to a broader audience, though it raises questions about individuality versus conformity in character design. Players must decide whether to embrace their unique traits or blend in with traditional fantasy archetypes, impacting their narrative experience in the game.
