The Lord of the Rings would be so much better if they added 4 hours of dating and sex scenes between all of our favorite characters. We could have Sam sucking Frodo off while Gollum jerks off behind a rock or Legolas could meet a dwarf woman and they could share an emotional moment before cutting to a bondage scene... They'd have to cut out some action and adventure parts but who cares about stupid shit like that?
Can you stop thinking about gay sex for 5 minutes, dog?

The article from Ars Technica is basically exactly what I felt. This game is the typical "new" Marvel D&D garbage. And to this day, it has not changed.
But I bought worse games.

Drow Paladin is about as "legal" as Drow Ranger.
They're Chaotic Evil. Lolth is Chaotic Evil. What's the ONE thing that defines Paladins? Their adherence to a fucking code, which means lawfulness.

Funny that Drizzt the snowflake ended up being the reason for a whole population of "good" drow.

That is what the "seldarine drow" option you can pick is for, right?

The reason is: Can you imagine a "good drow"? If you can imagine it, why can't you play it? No good reason.
In general, restrictions are removed when homebrewing, not added. That's where the community drags things towards.

Paladins are just religious warriors. If there are chaotic evil gods, there should be chaotic evil paladins. It was always stupid.

Those are clerics.

Paladins need lawfulness to adhere to their oaths.
Main power source is their oath, not the god.

Creating a Drow non-Human Paladin should be a bannable offence.

I got an idea from this.

One of my Paladin's missions will be to root out false paladins, especially those of a non-Human race. I will try to kill every Paladin NPC who isn't Human.

In fact, given the state of WotC, of D&D, Larian writing, and the burden of the BG legacy on BG3 in terms of cringe, we should start a list of "Based Achievements".

Add more as you come up with them.




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.
Isn’t that just Oath Of Vengeance, which will be added on release? Don’t think it will struggle in handling it.
Still depends on how you want to RP it.
