"Avowed: Why Obsidian's Limited Race Options Set It Apart from Skyrim"

Obsidian's upcoming RPG, Avowed, limits player character creation to humans and elves due to both story and development reasons, as the game is set in the Aedyr Empire, predominantly inhabited by humans and elves, and the development team wants to ensure a smooth and natural gameplay experience. The decision also considers the challenges of accommodating different character sizes in a first-person perspective. While some fans may be disappointed, the game's focus on first-person gameplay and the 2024 release window are notable aspects.
