At the very end of the intro cutscene, when you are knocked out of the Nautiloid by a rock, an unknown magical force saves you from falling to your death. This is never explained in Act 1 and if I had to guess it is the Absolute saving you because you are the chosen one etc. etc. A bit cliche to say the least. DOS2 did the exact same thing, almost beat for beat, with the sinking ship going down and you being saved by a god. You even wake up on a beach again, lol.

Divine beings are not allowed to do this in FR/DnD lore. The overgod Ao forbade it with the threat being non-existance.

Out of interest where do you get this lore from? Is it new?

To my knowledge gods were encouraged to care for and help their followers after the time of troubles and this completly goes against that. Infact he made it so that gods needed worship to continue excisting. Which is also one of the reasons why wishing to be a god doesent work. Even if whatever entity you ask it off can fulfill it, youd instantly die.

Cleric and paladin their powers directly come from their gods as well. So it confuses me abit.
