Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players can\u2019t stop breaking their Paladin Oaths Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 offers players a lot of ways to play, with the Paladin class comfortably being one of the most difficult to maintain. So much so that many who play as one have found it immensely difficult to stick to their Oaths. In a post on Reddit, one player shared how they had broken their Oath merely by siding with Lae\u2019zel and fighting the Tieflings during her recruitment section. Many others were quick to share their own stories of misfortune, with some breaking their Paladin Oaths less than an hour into the game. One said, \u201cYeah, the game really doesn\u2019t care how evil the character you kill is; it\u2019ll still break the Oath. Killing Kagha can break your Oath, and she\u2019s working with Shadow Druids and is okay with killing kids over theft. \u201cTrick is goading them into attacking you with dialog, or having another party member attack them, counts as \u2018self-defense\u2019 in that case, even if you egg them into fighting you.\u201d Another added, \u201cAll the way until after killing Cazador on my Oath of Ancients when releasing the spawn into the Underdark broke it. Which was random to me and unexpected. Then I broke it again on accident when I was fighting some Bhaal cultists, and some flaming fist ran up and also aggroed to me, and I killed them.\u201d A third shared the story of their friend\u2019s first foray into playing the class, saying, \u201cIntroducing my buddy to BG3, and he picks a Paladin and wanted to kill the Tieflings that caught Lae\u2019zel and was extremely distraught when he found out he broke his Oath. Had another buddy killing half the grove, failing to break his Oath somehow.\u201d It\u2019s worth noting that the way Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 deals with Paladin Oaths is considerably more strict than tabletop D&D. Additionally, Vengeance is considerably less stringent and actively encourages the player in more nefarious directions, so that\u2019s worth considering if you want to play the class for the first time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
