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 ramifications 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 dealing with the injured and infected, revealing underlying philosophical themes within the game. The Voice then proposes a power exchange—a favor for a significant ability. Given the unknown nature of the Voice, this 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. This provides an extra ability point usable in the Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard Ability Trees. While a beneficial addition, it's not the optimal choice compared to 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. The advantages of "Dream Touch" are significantly superior, and this opportunity is unlikely to present itself again.
Does the Choice Have Long-Term Ramifications?
The long-term consequences of this choice are currently unclear. While initial observations suggest no major impact on the overall narrative flow, this is part of a broader, developing relationship with the entity. This guide will be updated should further information become available.
In conclusion, carefully consider the immediate and potential long-term effects before making your decision.
Avowed is available now.
