Avowed’s anniversary update expands character options and combat flair, delivering new playable races and a striking weapon choice for spellcasters. The patch introduces three additional races alongside humans and elves, and equips magic users with a quarterstaff option that leans into spectacle rather than subtlety. Much of this material had been slated for release earlier but was postponed by Obsidian.

  • Three new character races are now selectable at creation, widening roleplaying possibilities beyond the established human and elf options.
  • A quarterstaff has been added as a viable choice for mage builds, offering a more ostentatious alternative to traditional wands and tomes.
  • The update aims to diversify how players build and present their casters, giving mechanical and visual variety for magic-focused characters.
  • Several elements in this anniversary package were delayed from an earlier planned release, and have finally been deployed in this rollout.
  • Overall, the patch focuses on broadening customization and combat options, making character creation feel more flexible for different playstyles.
