In the early stages of *Avowed*, after rescuing the Ambassador and triumphing over a formidable bear boss during the "Message from Afar" quest, you'll encounter a pivotal moment. A mysterious voice, which you've been hearing, presents you with a significant choice: accept or reject its offer of power. Here's what you need to understand about this decision and its implications.

Should You Accept or Reject The Voice’s Power in Avowed?

The initial conversation with The Voice delves into your approach to handling something that's injured or infected, prompting you to express your philosophy on key themes within the game. The Voice then proposes a deal: it offers you a power in exchange for a future favor. Given the mysterious nature of The Voice, this choice is understandably challenging.

Ultimately, it is recommended that you accept the Voice's power in *Avowed*.

What Happens If You Reject The Voice’s Power?

By rejecting the Voice's offer of power in *Avowed*, you will unlock a Godlike Ability known as "Godlike's Will." This ability grants you an additional ability point that can be allocated to the Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard Ability Trees. While gaining an extra ability point is certainly beneficial, it's not the most advantageous choice in the long run.

What Happens If You Accept the Voice’s Power?

Choosing to accept the Voice's power in *Avowed* rewards you with the "Dream Touch" Godlike Ability. This powerful ability enables you to heal and revive nearby allies while simultaneously inflicting damage over time on Delemgan, Dreamthralls, and Vessels. It costs 30 Essence to activate and has a 90-second cooldown. The Voice's power is clearly superior and unique, as there are no other opportunities to acquire it within the game.

Does the Choice Have Any Long-Term Ramifications?

When making significant choices in a game like *Avowed*, it's natural to consider potential long-term effects. At the time of writing, and without revealing any spoilers, there's no evidence that either accepting or rejecting the Voice's offer significantly alters the game's overall narrative. It's part of a broader relationship with the entity. However, should further information come to light, this guide will be updated accordingly.

That sums up the decision regarding whether to accept the Voice's power in *Avowed*. Make your choice wisely and continue your journey in this immersive world.
