Paladin's suck actually
(hexbear.net)
Started a Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough (I pirated it because of course), and decided to roll a Paladin, as to roleplay a class struggle oriented fighter against oppression, next thing I know I'm stuck with a whole bunch of silly ass moral codes and liberal bullshit.
In the end the aristocratic ass elf that you can get as a companion is doing all the hard work not to break the RP of my main character and I'm hardly using it for the fun things (assassinating class enemies).
SMH
I am also playing a paladin! I did folk hero and oath of vengeance. The game is pretty forgiving with how many people you can kill (for the most part - still mad I had to reload after getting oathbroken in the first hour of the game) but I haven't tried assassinating. I've just been doing story dialogues, meeting people I don't like such as slavers, and then killing them. I guess it's only the paladin way if you talk to them first before killing them.
I'm ranting but its honestly quite a fun class regardless, and I barely know how it works given im a total newbie to DnD rules. I exaggerated a bit, I'm making i work so far lol. But I will defo re-run as a fallen monk or a warlock but good but cooler than the (endearingly annoying) Blade of the Frontier next run.
Edit: also I know EXACTLY where you might have broken your oath in the first hour (because I did too).
Yeah... That's how I learned there's a non-lethal (read: no consequences) toggle.
