Ouch, that's a hard pass :D

Its an Adoring Fan character, that you almost certainly want to kill in an amusing way.
Unless you are a cucked paladin, that is.

They should lean into their new reputation and make a bear option

I hope they also post statistics on who killed Naaber and how.

I realised now that BG3 has full companion respec, we finally have proof that Owlcat's design is already causing irreperable dame to the CRPG genre.

No one is forcing you to use respec btw.

MORE OPTIONS IS LE BAD!

As long as game designers don't try to design around such a feature, it remains completely optional and an equivalent of a built-in cheat or debug mode.

Designing around any feature requires additional mental effort, so I guess we are safe.

Given how late they announced it, and probably as damage control against everyone complaining Shadowheart's stats and build is bad, I don't think the game expects you to respec.

That's interesting, I think way back at the start of EA Larian said that cleric was the most popular class, so either reddit are outliers (absolutely possible) or all the clerics were just closeted paladins waiting for their preferred class to be released

Buncha dark elf paladins... these are the people that you attract when you turn rpgs into digital soap operas...

Extra weird given how there is a drow paladin in Act 1 that you can recruit, if you are evil.

Indeed, origin characters will also stay their orignal class in conversations even if you changed it to something else.

I was considering between Cleric and Paladin, and I'll go with a Paladin fanatic with no understanding of moral nuance and a simplistic black and white worldview. Let's see how the game handles such a character.

It certainly makes me want to avoid the whole package.

Creating a Drow Paladin should be a bannable offence.

or just people vote one thing and in game chose another. that's why i'm more interested not in what they pick as main character but what they pick as your dream waifu you create in game.
will be good survey about what romance people actually want.

Thank you for coming to the thread about the product, to share that you aren't interested in the product. Make sure to go to all other threads about all other products you aren't interested in.

90% of fags will not just make drow paladin, they will multiclass him into some dress wearer.

Are warlocks a dress class, or a pants class?

gith cleric it is then

Being the originators of the word "gish", you are legally obligated to play Githyanki as a Fighter 2/Wizard 10 multiclass.

 

[Fedora Master]

Githyanki cleric makes as much sense as Drow Paladin

All thanks to the shitty author Salvatore and one of his most terribly written characters who instantly became fan favorite.
While I consider most of his writing below avarage, he had few pretty cool characters. Drizzt wasn't one of them. He was fucking soulless edgy emo 180° abomination with "fancy artifacts". And that was enough to make stupid people fell in love.
Some other drow characters in Faerun were much better.

Hopefully Drows NPC's will be at least 80% evil /20% good in BG3.

 

[Fedora Master]

I'm sure special snowflakes tried making "unusual" characters long before Drizzt. He is just the best know example.

 

[Longes]

The drow paladin whom you can recruit into your party really gets off on genocide and can only be recruited if you help her slaughter some tiefling refugees. So don't worry about that.

Minthara my beloved...
