If things stay like this I will not play a paladin in the final game.
You can accidentally break your oath without knowing why.
Honestly, I still haven't find the motivation to continue my playthrough, in part because of this.
I haven't broke my Ancients Oath...yet...and while I'm not far into the game, I don't like this feeling of having the Sword of Damocles hanging over my head.
Ranting ahead (last one about this matter), keep moving, nothing to see here:
In addition to that, and in my opinion, there is no universal rules on what's considered Good or Evil anyway.
In mean, there has been countless debate about what's moral or not.
I tend to follow my conscience, every situation is unique and its own case. I may ask a friend their opinion or do more research on such matter.
Good people do the best that they can with what they know and what they are able to do. Doesn't mean it always looks heroic or pretty.
But it appears that this is not something that the game allows (understandable, to some extend). In this case, it just feels (to me) like : "bam, that's wrong and evil, bible thrown at your face".
There are people who will defend the paladin class (not just in BG3, within the D&D community), saying that it's more than being "Lawful stupid", which gave me hope. But I also have seen "gatekeeping" from the community : "Don't agree with my sense of morality? Don't play paladin then" while sharing a perspective that is, to me, very black-and-white (and sometimes problematic and hypocritical, in my opinion). Not to say that all the people who defends the game's interpretation of the class are like that. Some of them do have some good points.
But, all of this feel pretty discouraging. So yes, I probably won't be playing paladin anymore.
Sorry for the rant, I needed the vent I guess 😔 by putting my thought in writings.
At the end of the day, it's a video game. I'm just sad that, a class that got me pretty excited, doesn't suit me the way it works here.
