They talk about Paladin Oaths and the concept of breaking them... then they show off the fact that in bizarro-larian-verse, telling a lie on a single occasion somehow constitutes enough of a divine violation to create dire repercussions... even if your oath had nothing whatsoever to do with telling the truth, or not deceiving people. That's some pretty ripe bullshit right there, Larian. They mention that Oathbreaker is a 'hidden' paladin oath... but it truly doesn't seem very 'hidden' if you get plunged into dramatic epic visitations from hell knights with smoking red eyes because you fibbed about something that one time.
The irony here was that the choice we were put in, that led to the 'broken oath' was “kill some people, to save some other person”, or “Kill some person to save some other people” - but apparently one of those constitutes 'breaking your oath'. It happened the moment we made the decision, before we actually harmed or killed anyone at all, so it's unclear what the action that broke our oath actually was... other than that we said we intended to help one side kill the other side, and then turned around when that side threatened us, and helped them kill the first side... none of which has anything to do with any of the tenets of the Oath of the Ancients.
I'm glad to see someone else not vibing with that encounter and how the Ancients oath paladin is interpreted
