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

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

The initial conversation with The Voice will revolve around just what to do with something that’s injured and/or infected, helping the player to articulate their philosophy on some of the game’s themes. The Voice will then offer you the chance to get a power from it, in exchange for a favor later on. Seeing as you don’t know anything about the Voice, it’s definitely a hard choice to make.

In the end, you should probably choose to accept the Voice’s power in Avowed.

What Happens If You Reject The Voice’s Power

If you reject the Voice’s offer of power in Avowed, you’ll unlock a Godlike Ability called “Godlike’s Will,” which will give you a bonus ability point to use in the Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard Ability Trees. This isn’t necessarily a bad choice, as it’s nice to get another ability point, but at the end of the day, it’s absolutely not the best choice.

What Happens If You Accept the Voice’s Power

If you accept the Voice’s power in Avowed, you’ll get the “Dream Touch” Godlike Ability, which allows you to heal and revive nearby allies while also dealing damage over time to Delemgan, Dreamthralls, and Vessels. The ability costs 30 Essence to use and has a 90 second cooldown. The Voice’s power is, frankly, transparently superior, especially since you won’t have any other opportunity to get it in the game.

Does the Choice Have Any Long-Term Ramifications?

Obviously any time you’re making a choice in a game like Avowed, you’re going to wonder if it has any sort of long-term ramifications. At the time of writing, and without going into spoilers, I’ve seen no evidence that accepting or rejecting the Voice’s offer has any major effect in and of itself on how Avowed unfolds, as it’s part of a larger relationship with the entity. That being said, I’ll update this guide if I find out that I’m wrong.

And that’s whether you should accept the Voice’s power in Avowed.
