In Avowed, after completing the "Message from Afar" quest (rescuing the Ambassador and defeating the bear boss), a mysterious voice presents a power offer. This guide analyzes whether to accept or reject.
Should You Accept or Reject the Voice's Power?
The initial dialogue focuses on philosophical choices, setting the stage for the power offer. Accepting the power requires a future favor. Given the unknown nature of the voice, the decision is difficult. However, accepting is generally recommended.
Rejecting the Voice's Power
Rejecting unlocks the "Godlike's Will" ability, granting an extra ability point for Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard skill trees. While beneficial, it's not optimal compared to the alternative.
Accepting the Voice's Power
Accepting grants the "Dream Touch" ability: healing/reviving nearby allies and dealing damage over time to specific enemy types (Delemgan, Dreamthralls, Vessels). It costs 30 Essence and has a 90-second cooldown. "Dream Touch" is demonstrably superior, and this opportunity is unique.
Long-Term Ramifications?
Currently, there's no evidence suggesting major long-term consequences from either choice. The decision impacts the player's relationship with the entity, but not the overall narrative flow (at the time of writing). This guide will be updated if further information emerges.
Conclusion
While rejecting provides a minor ability boost, accepting the Voice's power in Avowed offers a significantly more potent and unique ability. The long-term impact appears minimal, making accepting the superior strategic choice.
Avowed is currently available.
