Early in *Avowed*, after rescuing the Ambassador and defeating a formidable bear boss during the “Message from Afar” quest, you’ll encounter a mysterious voice offering you a powerful choice. This guide explores the implications of accepting or rejecting this offer.

Should You Accept or Reject the Voice's Power in *Avowed*?

Your initial conversation with the Voice centers around your approach to injured or infected beings, revealing underlying philosophical themes within the game. The Voice then proposes a power exchange—a favor for a gift. Given the Voice's enigmatic nature, the decision is far from straightforward. Ultimately, accepting the Voice's power is generally recommended.

What Happens If You Reject the Voice's Power?

Rejecting the offer grants you the "Godlike's Will" ability, providing an extra ability point for the Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard Ability Trees. While a useful bonus, it's ultimately less advantageous than the alternative.

What Happens If You Accept the Voice's Power?

Accepting the Voice's power rewards you with the "Dream Touch" Godlike Ability. This ability heals and revives nearby allies while simultaneously inflicting damage over time on Delemgan, Dreamthralls, and Vessels. It costs 30 Essence and has a 90-second cooldown. This ability is significantly more powerful and presents a unique opportunity unavailable elsewhere in the game.

Does the Choice Have Long-Term Ramifications?

While this choice might seem significant, current evidence suggests it doesn't drastically alter the main storyline of Avowed. The decision is part of a broader, evolving relationship with the entity. However, this guide will be updated if further information reveals otherwise.

In conclusion, accepting the Voice's power in Avowed offers a superior advantage.
