Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Choose Deity Option

I was thinking the same. Really interested in having a character that's also a Shar worshipper for one of my playthroughs.

But I guess since allegedly everyone on the Nautiloid are being abducted from the same place (Baldur's Gate), it would probably be difficult to justify you also being a Shar worshipper from the city who Shadowheart has never heard of/met before inside her little cult, since the game makes it extremely transparent that you're being pigeonholed into being a "Baldurian" whether you wanted to be or not.

It's a shame not gonna lie. The only good thing is how modders have been willing to step up where Larian hasn't, so that paladins, or anyone for that matter, can chose which deity they follow.

Really sad they removed the Deity choice for Paladins from the game, the mechanics and even some of the dialog is still in the game files, not sure why they pulled it. Also I agree they should have included Shar as an option, especially seeing story line of the game.
