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 whether to accept or reject 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 gift. Given the unknown nature of the Voice, this decision isn't easy. 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 for the Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard Ability Trees. While a beneficial ability point, 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 dealing damage over time to Delemgan, Dreamthralls, and Vessels. It costs 30 Essence and has a 90-second cooldown. This ability is significantly superior and a unique opportunity not found elsewhere in the game.

Does the Choice Have Long-Term Ramifications?

While the immediate consequences are clear, the long-term effects of this choice are currently unclear. At this time, there's no evidence suggesting major narrative shifts based solely on this decision. However, it's part of a larger, evolving relationship with the entity. This guide will be updated if further information emerges.

In conclusion, accepting the Voice's power in Avowed offers a more powerful and unique ability.
