After rescuing the Ambassador early on in *Avowed* and defeating a formidable bear boss as part of the "Message from Afar" quest, you'll encounter a pivotal decision regarding a mysterious voice that you've been hearing. Here's what you need to know about this choice.
Should You Accept or Reject The Voice’s Power in Avowed?
The initial conversation with The Voice focuses on handling something that's injured or infected, prompting you to reflect on the game's thematic elements. The Voice then offers you a power in exchange for a future favor. Given the mysterious nature of The Voice, this decision is challenging. Ultimately, it is advisable to accept The Voice's power in *Avowed*.
What Happens If You Reject The Voice’s Power?
If you choose to reject The Voice's offer, you'll unlock the "Godlike's Will" ability, which grants you an additional ability point to use in the Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard Ability Trees. While this isn't a bad choice, as gaining an extra ability point is beneficial, it is not the most advantageous option available.
What Happens If You Accept the Voice’s Power?
By accepting The Voice's power, you'll gain the "Dream Touch" ability. This allows you to heal and revive nearby allies while simultaneously dealing damage over time to Delemgan, Dreamthralls, and Vessels. It costs 30 Essence to use and has a 90-second cooldown. The "Dream Touch" ability is clearly superior, and it's the only opportunity in the game to acquire this power.
Does the Choice Have Any Long-Term Ramifications?
When making a choice in a game like *Avowed*, it's natural to consider potential long-term effects. At the time of writing, there's no evidence that accepting or rejecting The Voice's offer significantly impacts the overall progression of *Avowed*. It seems to be part of a broader relationship with the entity. However, should further information come to light, this guide will be updated accordingly.
And that's the rundown on whether you should accept The Voice's power in *Avowed*.
*Avowed is available now.*
