In Avowed, after completing the "Message from Afar" quest and defeating the bear boss, a mysterious voice presents you with a choice: accept or reject its power. This guide explores the consequences of each decision.
Should You Accept or Reject the Voice's Power?
Initially, the conversation centers on your approach to dealing with the injured/infected, revealing your in-game philosophy. The voice then offers power in exchange for a future favor. Given the voice's unknown nature, the choice is challenging. However, accepting the 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 skill trees. While beneficial, it's not the optimal choice.
Accepting the Voice's Power
Accepting the voice's power unlocks the "Dream Touch" ability. This allows you to heal and revive 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 a unique opportunity within the game.
Long-Term Ramifications?
While the immediate effects are clear, the long-term consequences of accepting or rejecting the offer remain unclear at this time. There's currently no evidence suggesting major plot alterations based solely on this choice. However, it's part of a broader relationship with the entity, and this guide will be updated if further information emerges.
Conclusion
The decision rests with you, but accepting the Voice's power in Avowed grants a considerably more potent ability.
