In the early stages of *Avowed*, after successfully rescuing the Ambassador and defeating an impressive bear boss during the "Message from Afar" quest, you'll encounter a pivotal decision. A mysterious voice, which you've been hearing throughout your journey, offers you a power in exchange for a future favor. This choice is crucial and can shape your gameplay experience. Here's what you need to know about accepting or rejecting the Voice's offer.

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

The initial dialogue with The Voice revolves around your approach to dealing with something that's injured or infected, prompting you to reflect on the game's thematic elements. The Voice then proposes to grant you a power, asking for a favor in return. Given the mysterious nature of the Voice, this decision can be challenging.

Ultimately, it's advisable to accept the Voice's power in *Avowed*.

What Happens If You Reject The Voice’s Power?

By rejecting the Voice's offer, you will unlock the "Godlike's Will" ability, which provides an additional ability point that can be used in the Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard Ability Trees. While gaining an extra ability point is beneficial, this choice is not the most advantageous in the long run.

What Happens If You Accept the Voice’s Power?

Accepting the Voice's power grants you the "Dream Touch" ability, a powerful Godlike Ability that not only heals and revives nearby allies but also inflicts damage over time on Delemgan, Dreamthralls, and Vessels. This ability, costing 30 Essence with a 90-second cooldown, is markedly superior and unique, as you won't have another chance to acquire it in the game.

Does the Choice Have Any Long-Term Ramifications?

When making significant choices in games like *Avowed*, it's natural to consider their long-term impact. As of now, there's no evidence that accepting or rejecting the Voice's offer significantly alters the main storyline. It's part of a broader interaction with the entity. However, I will update this guide should further information come to light that changes this understanding.

In summary, choosing to accept the Voice's power in *Avowed* is the recommended path for maximizing your gameplay benefits.
