Let's say i want to issue an attack option on a goblin.
The game could now tell you "You sense the divine observing your every action, your belief system urges you not to strike - do you really want to do it? YES/NO"
similar to a DM in DND5e who would tell you somethign along the lines of "it would be against your fundamental beliefs (oath) to strike now do you really want to proceed?". (they might associate that with a religion check)
This is especially problematic if the combat is forced upon you by weird interactions as shown in various reddit posts.

Currently playing as an Oath of Ancients paladin. My oath was broken in the Selunite temple while eliminating the goblin leaders. I freed Halsin and figured I would use his aid and eliminate the leaders in a straight up fight, no more sneaky business.
We took out Minthara and a handful of lackeys near her, then proceeded towards Dror Ragzlin's room. A couple of his minions came out to face us on the wooden bridges over the spider pit, and my paladin struck and killed one of them with a melee attack. Immediately after doing this I was notified that my oath had been broken.
I think the cultist was a human or half-elf, but still a cultist of the Absolute and an active combatant, so I can't think of any reason that this should have broken my oath. Just bugged I guess.
