The problem is Larian's ridiculous interpretation of what breaks an oath. I have never seen this problem in a table-top session...ever.
The Absolute's camp, comprised mostly of Goblin's (although not exclusively), has declared war on the region.
Who better than the Paladin's to lead the charge?
What is the goal here? To discourage people from choosing the honorable path? ...to encourage every Paladin to be an oath breaker?
It's almost like Vincke is saying "C'mon, you know you want to".
I am beginning to suspect this, after repeated encouragement to "try" the evil path...and now they are trying to make it hard to play the traditional D&D Hero arc-type.
Thankfully I am not set on making a Paladin, because then I would be very pissed off, as apposed to just annoyed and cynically aware.
Larian's choice to make the "evil and neutral characters first", their own words, and never follow up with even one additional origin character in the whole of EA is telling.
Now I am pleased with the announcement of Jaheira and Minsc, but I have been given no evidence that they will give them justice. I have yet to see them make one "Heroic character" that doesn't try to prove the point "see, good sucks"...or ANY for that matter, outside of Tav. I grow weary of "The chek is in the mail".
Don't say Halsin, cause "show me".
I actually like Wyll, and consider him good. In his own paraphrased words, he lead a selfish and drunken past that lead to him making choices he now regrets.
He is now doing his very best to be a Hero that puts others first. He is not virgin clean, but who is?
Gale is pleasant enough company, when he is not pestering me for another "hit"..."mmm artifacts, keep 'em coming".
Truly Heroic arc-types....tally zero.
Bottom line...playing a Devotion Paladin should not lead to accidentally breaking one's oath and being surprised...this is happening.
