After saving the Ambassador during the early "Message from Afar" quest in Avowed — which includes defeating an intense bear boss battle — you'll encounter a pivotal choice involving a mysterious voice you've been hearing. Here's everything you need to consider about this critical decision.

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

Your dialogue with The Voice will explore philosophical questions about dealing with injured or infected entities, helping define your character's worldview. The mysterious entity then presents an offer: immediate power in exchange for an unspecified future favor. With no clear information about The Voice's nature and intentions, this becomes a consequential decision.

Our recommendation? Accepting The Voice's power proves to be the strategically superior choice in Avowed.

What Happens If You Reject The Voice’s Power

Choosing to refuse The Voice's offer grants you the "Godlike's Will" ability, which provides one additional skill point for the Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard ability trees. While the extra customization point offers value for character progression, this option ultimately falls short compared to the alternative reward.

What Happens If You Accept the Voice’s Power

Accepting The Voice's gift awards the powerful "Dream Touch" Godlike Ability. This versatile skill simultaneously heals and revives nearby allies while dealing damage over time to specific enemy types like Delemgan, Dreamthralls, and Vessels. With a 30 Essence cost and 90-second cooldown, this exclusive ability provides combat advantages unavailable through any other means in the game.

Does the Choice Have Any Long-Term Ramifications?

While narrative choices in RPGs like Avowed often carry significant consequences, current evidence suggests this particular decision primarily affects immediate gameplay benefits rather than major story repercussions. The choice appears to influence your evolving relationship with The Voice rather than creating branching narrative paths. We'll update this guide should further playthroughs reveal additional impacts.

Now you're equipped to make an informed decision about The Voice's tempting offer in Avowed.
