Thank you for the summary of the PfH.
I watched the video myself but its good to see your opinion of it.
Regarding oaths and breaking them
I think the point in this scene is not if you kill someone to save another one or the other way round.
Its about saying something and then doing the opposite.
First you select to help the tieflings against Leazel, then you select to help her against the tieflings.
So you betrayed the tieflings, thats what breaks the oath.
If this is done consistently (which I doubt) then it can lead to idiotic results:
- You can do whatever you want (kill, steal, and so on) as long as you said you intend to do it or at least you didn´t say that you don´t intend to do it.
You can even betray someone if you do it right. You say to person A that you intend to betray person B. Then you betray person B but have never promised person B to do something for him, so you never lied to person B because you never promised him anything. You kept your promise to person A, so everything is fine.
- You can become an oathbreaker by doing good things.
Lets see what happens when you tell the goblins to help them fight the druids, but then you sabotage them and turn against them at the gate.
Fighting the goblins to defend the druids is good. Weakening the goblins, divide them and bring them to a position where you fight them together with others could be called clever.
But you betrayed the goblins by first saying something and then doing something else, so you are an oathbreaker.
If you want to be a good paladin you must be lawful stupid.
I have not played patch 9 so far, these are just some thought.
