Early in *Avowed*, after rescuing the Ambassador and conquering a formidable bear boss during the “Message from Afar” quest, you’ll face a crucial decision: accept or reject a mysterious voice’s power offer. This guide breaks down the consequences of each choice.
Should You Accept or Reject the Voice's Power in *Avowed*?
Your initial conversation with the Voice centers on handling the injured/infected, revealing underlying game themes. The Voice then proposes a power exchange for a future favor. Given the Voice's unknown nature, the choice is difficult. However, accepting the Voice's power is generally recommended.
Rejecting the Voice's Power

Rejecting the offer grants the "Godlike's Will" ability, providing an extra ability point for Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard trees. While beneficial, it's ultimately less advantageous than the alternative.
Accepting the Voice's Power

Accepting yields the "Dream Touch" ability: healing/reviving allies while damaging Delemgan, Dreamthralls, and Vessels. It costs 30 Essence with a 90-second cooldown. This power is significantly superior and a unique opportunity within the game.
Long-Term Ramifications?
The long-term impact of this choice is currently unclear. While initial playthroughs haven't revealed major consequences, the decision forms part of a larger ongoing relationship with the entity. This guide will be updated if further information emerges.
Ultimately, accepting the Voice's power in *Avowed* offers a more potent and unique ability. *Avowed* is available now.
