If you so choose, you can hide your protagonist&#8217;s chosen one magical mushroom man features, letting you embody that oh so rare fantasy of being a hot elf with weirdly dead eyes in a fantasy RPG, mushroom-free. This is no way to live, and I&#8217;m tired of pretending otherwise: You are fungus in Avowed, do not try to deny it.<\/p>\n<p>The envoy in Avowed is a &#8220;godlike,&#8221; a race from Pillars of Eternity somewhat reminiscent of tieflings or genasi from Dungeons &#038; Dragons. Claimed by one of Eora&#8217;s divine powers at birth, godlikes are marked with features associated with the god in question. In the case of our envoy&#8217;s mystery deity, it&#8217;s an assortment of fungal growths and woody accessories, Star Trek rubber forehead alien flair and Dryad chic, with a shocking assortment to choose from. Only, the character creator also lets you hide those features entirely, reducing the envoy to a regular-looking schmuck while everyone still reacts to them like they&#8217;re a freak of nature.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"zmNQ5MnxU5JUXs4GZpqokk\" name=\"20250213201346_1\" alt=\"Avowed protagonist in conversation showing woody, mushroomy features.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/avowed-lets-you-pretend-your-characters-not-a-stinky-mushroom-person-but-thats-the-cowards-choice.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Getting shroomy with it. <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Obsidian)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I get why Obsidian gave us the option: Can&#8217;t scare off the normies with too much fun and flavor, after all. There are gamers who rolled humans in Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3 or imperials in Skyrim who are likely crucial to Avowed&#8217;s long term financial success. Even still, I know there had to have been at least one steely-eyed maverick on that team who held firm on artistic integrity until a tide of marketing-friendly quibbles washed them away like so much flotsam.<\/p>\n<p>But I stand with that anonymous hero, whoever they may be. I like it when a game has friction, some pushback, when it says &#8220;shape up, nerd!&#8221; and doesn&#8217;t let me indulge in every little whim consequence-free. Avowed&#8217;s vision is clearly that you are a mushroom person, you were marked by the shrooms to do great and terrible things. To deny this fungal mantle, hiding your shroomy accoutrements the way you might an uncommon-rarity helmet that clashes with your armor, is saying you&#8217;re afraid of a game being interesting and showing you something you haven&#8217;t seen before.<\/p>\n<p>If Avowed had shipped with a full &#8220;sliders and all&#8221; character creator only to enforce mandatory mushroom paraphernalia, I think it would have made for one of the truly great bits in RPG history\u2060\u2014it&#8217;s still really funny even with the mushroom swag only &#8220;strongly encouraged.&#8221; In the face of capitalist homogenization insisting we have the option to undermine Avowed&#8217;s very heart and soul, it&#8217;s up to us to show some discipline and hold the line. Repeat after me this fungal roleplayer&#8217;s pledge:<\/p>\n<p><em>A mushroom person I must be \/ For all and sundry my shrooms to see \/ Why would I want these shrooms to miss? \/ <\/em><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/those-mad-lads-at-obsidian-were-bluffing-us-avowed-does-have-a-tiny-bit-of-companion-romance-as-a-treat\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>This game doesn&#8217;t really have anyone to kiss!<\/em><\/a><em> \/ And so I&#8217;ll be a mushroom guy \/ Wearing my fungus till I might die.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With that, fellow shroomer, you&#8217;re ready to go and shroom it up in Avowed. And when you spy someone&#8217;s screenshot or stream of the game with a mushroom-free envoy, take heart: You&#8217;re better than they are.
