Avowed's Anniversary Update is out now, adding a new weapon, quality-of-life features, updated skill trees, a New Game Plus mode, and most excitingly, playable races to Obsidian Entertainment's RPG. But whether you choose to play as a chubby dwarf or a furry orlan, the fantasy game won't give you access to "unique dialogue choices" based on your race.
Avowed's gameplay director Gabe Paramo tells RPG Site that letting folks pick between roleplaying as a dwarf, elf, orlan, aumaua or pre-existing human "was actually quite difficult" to pull off in the new update. "It took a ton of work from our gameplay engineers and character artists to make sure all of the character customization options worked across the new races, and that our in-world interactions all synced up properly regardless of the player's height or proportions."
