We have a thread already talking about deity choice at https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=880655 that you should feel free to add to.

We've also had more than one discussion specifically about paladins in the context of this choice in the course of early access, if you're interested in what others have said on the topic and can track them down.

I'll just lock this thread though, to try to keep duplicate discussions to a minimum.
