Kinda minor complaint, but I'm currently playing as a paladin and it sure feels the game was originally designed to let paladins choose a deity and then that functionality was taken out. Like when you talk to Gale after doing the scene where you channel the weave with him he tells you "as a paladin, your patron deity endows you with many such powers otherwise unattainable". And I saw a mod on nexus say that Cleric and Paladin are the only two classes with the HasGod variable, but Paladins is set to off. Not a DnD player but I know that in 5E paladins don't get their powers from deities, but instead from their devotion to their oath or something like that. But I've also read that most paladins still choose to serve a god, and to me it kinda seems clear that the game was designed with that intention in mind.
I play on console so I can't mod, and I just want to play a goody two-shoes Paladin of Selune without having to waste a level to multiclass into cleric. Please one day add the ability for paladins to pick diety back in.
