Avowed: Should I accept the Voice's help?
At some point in your adventure in Avowed, your character will start hearing strange voices. You don't quite know whether it's worth trusting them or whether it's better not to listen to them. In our guide you will find out whether it's worth it to take the help of a voice when doing the quest Message from afar.
Last update:
While completing the main quest A Message from Afar, you will be faced with an important choice: you can either allow the Voice to help you or reject its help. If you're worried about the consequences of this choice, check out this page of our Avowed guide.
When will the Voice offer help?
Once you complete the tutorial and find yourself in Dawnshore, the quest A Message from Afar will start. It will mainly involve finding the Aedyran Ambassador in Strangleroot. Once you find him, you will be attacked by a Dreamthrall Bear (a boss).
The fight is quite simple though, as this bear is not much different from other bear-like opponents. After the fight, you will have to interact with the Adra pillar. It is then that you will hear the Voice offering its help. It sounds tempting, but is there a catch?
Accept or reject the Voice's help?
After speaking with the Voice, you will receive one of two Godlike abilities:
- Refusal: you will be rewarded with one additional skill point that you can spend in the Fighter, Ranger, or Mage skill tree.
- Acceptance: you will be rewarded with an active ability that resurrects nearby allies and additionally deals damage over time to nearby enemies.
Does this choice cause any story consequences? At some point, the Voice will mention that you didn't accept its help earlier while at that moment, it's needed more than ever (to avoid spoilers, we won't say when exactly that happens), but still, this choice doesn't really affect what happens later. Certain events will happen anyway, regardless of the choice you make. So choose purely according to what you currently need or according to your moral compass.
