By the way, people who have played Patch 4 : do Druids select a main deity at character creation ? Please don't tell me no.
Sorry. They don't. I guess all druids worship... nature? Or something? I haven't played 5e, I'm not clear on how it works now.
I'd have to do some testing with cleric and current deities, was pretty sure there was a few lines with companions. An if they do that for each deity that would require audio time for face actors/actresses.
I've played clerics of Ilmater, Selune and Kelemvor, but the only NPC - i.e. the only person with voiced lines - I remember specifically acknowledging one of those deities (Kelemvor) was Mr. Mummy. My clerics had some deity-specific lines, but (at least right now) those aren't voiced.
«Ilmater + TyR + Lathander> +100500
Those are my trio of favorites, and if I have to make a paladin of Tyr - assuming paladins even select gods, again I'm not too familiar with 5e - I'll be mostly satisfied, but her heart will always belong to Lathander.
1) Druids can worship any God but most have a direct tie to nature. They draw from the power of nature itself, so their power is their own but they can worship.
2) yes, you are absolutely right. There are VERY few unique npc reactions to your deity... so adding Lathander isnt asking a lot.
3) Lathander, Torm, Helm and Ilmater are my faves... but Ilmater is a tad dark/creepy for my classic pally vision...
Torm and Lathander arent in the game.
And your alignment is tied to your god choice. Helm is nuetral which forces you to have the "nuetral paladin" tag which means you lose out on the "good paladin" tag dialogue options...
So essentially i have to go with Ilmater, and since Larian decided to make Ilmater worshippers kinda dark "you know the value of suffering. Prepare for the coming pain" .... yikes.
Not happy. I want my Sun boi.
