Their introduction was very jarring. You can break your oath pretty much right out of the tutorial and have this guy pop up in your camp, which-lets be honest-is already becoming something of a pit stop for high level npcs who waltz in to join you whenever they feel like.
Is that how Oathbreakers are made in the Realms? break your oath and you'll be visited by some demon knight in a few hours who will ask you to join their club?
Also kinda weird to me that the Sith lord guy will offer you all this power out of the blue and very clearly underlines that you can continue to be a good paladin afterwards, just with edgier themed powers and without having to follow an oath. No strings attached.
