Avowed's Best Quest: Smuggling Birth Control for Sex Workers

Published on 7 May 2025

Why This Quest Stands Out

Avowed’s which sets out to do early smuggling is shocking to players with how real it is. We run sex workers for birth control in a very conservative setting. This mission also brings out the RPG’s dark side.

The issue of illegal birth control is what this quest brings up which is a change from what we see in most fantasy games that stay away from mature themes. Avowed does it well.

Your actions have a impact on which character interactions you will get in the future. By helping the sex workers you open up to new story lines. Should you choose not to, the game world will change also.

Quest Walkthrough

How To Start The Mission

In the Broken Lance tavern go and find Mara. She is by the docks. Speak to her of "special deliveries”. This is the start of the illegal birth control smuggling quest.

Getting The Contraband

Visit the market district, at the apothecary’s shop there. Purchase regular medicines which will serve as cover. In private also ask about “moon tea” that’s what they will tell you about the illegal goods.

Delivery Choices

You can take three paths: Deliver every package as we discussed. Hold out on some for yourself. Also you may report the issue to the guards. Each option plays out different in the story.

Gameplay Experience

The illegal contraception quest has action and RPG elements. You go in quiet as a mouse past guards which is where you display your stealthy skills. Also you’ll have to talk your way out which tests how well you can persuade.

Combat breaks out if you fail the sneak checks. In this Adventure your choices truly matter. Also unlike many other Simulation games which do not, we see in this game that the consequences of your actions play out through the entire playthrough.

Multiplayer options are not a feature in Avowed but this quest will spark great co-op discussion. The Strategy is in which you choose to go about it.

Moral Complexity

Avowed presents that health care is a issue which we should think about. The issue of illegal birth control is a real point of debate. There is no “right” answer in this gray area.

Sex workers speak out on their need for protection. Religious groups say it is a sin. You decide what is right in this tough RPG scenario.

Rewards And Consequences

Good Outcomes

Helping out a great deal we earn the brothel’s trust. They offer discounts and special stories. Some of them become more than what is seen at first.

Bad Outcomes

Turning out for you is what causes temples to form. The city’s poor are away from you. Shop keepers up prices.

Why Players Love This Quest

The issue of illegal birth control is a large scale issue in Avowed. We see here that what was a typical fetch quest in past BioWare games has been done away with instead your choices run large scale stories which play out in the world.

Characters recall your choices. The pen is used well to craft mature themes that don’t overstep. This is the RPG which presents the first great moral test.

Comparison To Other Games

Most of what we see in Racing and Sports games is to do with that which is presented in a certain way. Also in Strategy titles these social issues are not usually reported on in that great of a degree. Avowed however does a very good job at telling those stories.

The contraband birth control issue is a picture of what I’m talking about with the depth in the design of Obsidian’s games. Also like past RPGs by them, what you do at the start of the game has large scale repercussions.

Conclusion

Avowed’s at it again with their early smuggling foray which sets the tone. The illegal birth control mission is a thought provoking element as you play. Your choices have real consequences.

This quest shows that Avowed is not your average fantasy Action game. It takes on heavy issues with maturity. The RPG elements in this game are present in the form of which you make meaningful choices.
