Baldur's Gate 3: Paladin Class Overview

Thank you!

We get it bro paladins are good😅

I've never liked Paladins. Too goody two shoes for my taste. I like dark/ evil rogue type characters. But this Oathbreaker subclass really got me curious to pick a Paladin for once. Love the Oathbreaker part of this class choice. Quite interesting.

I played bg 1 and 2 with a blackguard recently and it was a blast. What happened to the class ?

Does the game have a classical interpretation of paladin oaths or a more 2023 one? I.e. will you lose your oath if you don't play nice when you come across a drow or similar, or are they up for purging?

IMO, they should always be Lawful Good. But, don't need to be Lawful Nice. Judge Dredd would fit the role

Very helpfull. Thanks!

Does killing Sazza break your oath automatically? I’ve been looking for an opportunity to do so as Vengeance but didn’t want to actually kill an innocent npcz

I became oathbreaker by literal accident in the EA version which led into great RP. Now I am an Oathbreaker using the darkness within to aid those who cannot help themselves.

My human vengeance paladin has the most self-satisfied look during cutscenes it's great 😂

I read somewhere that if you break your oath you keep the spells you’ve already gained in another subclass. Do you know how that plays yet? I mainly just want misty step and some oathbreaker stuff looks really cool.

Are you making a Monk guide?

Is it possible to play as a dark urge paladin?

Is there anywhere an explanation what exactly breaks the oath of your Paladin subclasses? So as example, can i ambush or stealth kill evil enemys as a vengeance Paladin??

Do you have to be evil as an othbreaker or only have evil options from this moment on? Or can you still play a "good guy" as an oathbreaker who is then free in his decisions and with necromantic powers? So is a Othbreaker automatically evil or dirives the game you towards evil doings and paths you cant prevent from doing so?

My original group setup will be Pali tank, Barbarian DPS/offtank, Wizzard range dps/utility, durid healing/ range dps/utility. My typical strategy is to put the pali on whatever mob and or as many mobs as i can get to attack him, then use my barb to run around the battlefield with the druid and mage helping him dps enemies down. The pali does so much damage, even 1h with a sheild because of divine smite that its like having another dps character.

Memories, I played a Paladin during BG1 and BG2 and the expacs, also liked playing them in D&D. I always thought it was interesting being a Pali and being a Bhaalspawn.

Dude. Oathkeeping is no fun. Oathbreaking is obv the more exciting thing to roleplay

The true debate will be…. Play through and multiclass without respec, so you have a weak point. Or respec when you’re a high enough lvl to get all the perks of both 😂

I hope Larian adds something to dialogue choices that says something like: (Choosing this option may endanger your Oath).

I'm thinking about building a Dragon Born Paladin, and picking vengeance. Lawful evil.

Gotta say thank you for making these class overview videos. Very informative and helps me figure out what I'm going to play once the game launches.

Do you keep Divine Smite if you become an Oathbreaker?

Does dueling work 1handed sword and with offhand shield like in DND5e?

Man these videos are awesome and are really helping me to narrow down my choice for my main. Thank you!

I think the whole Oath thing makes Playing a Paladin more troublesome, Unlike plain Fighter or Barbarian for melee.

Bow Paladin? Challenge accepted.

I'm going to forget about real world once this game launches.

Сколько Воды

Where is the oath of conquest? Lawful good paladin is so freaking dull.

Oathbreaker/Warlock multiclass would be so cool both role playing and gamepley wise

Bro, no lie... When I broke my oath I quit immediately. I had to start over. Lol... When he checked me like I was some kind of failure or traitor, I just couldn't handle it. Then I managed to do it a 2nd time 🤦🏿‍♂️. This shit is badass tho. To know mthfers are paying attention to your actions.

Your character face looks badass , like someone of high rank in the acient Mediterranean

My dude. Very insightful videos. Thank you

Paladins are overpowered compared to other martial classes, and it's not even close.

An interesting class with heavy roleplaying to make it work!

This is my first time playing a game like this and I'm not sure if I want to go with Paladin or Fighter.

Pillars of Eternity has one of my favorite interpretations of the Paladin. I really like the different Paladin orders and how your abilities become weaker but you don't just lose all your powers when you act in ways opposed to your order's beliefs. I would love it if D&D and other RPG's took inspiration from it. I really like PoE's Monk too.

Damn I really want to play this game...

Combat looks slow in this game. Turn based?

Hey, does anyone need a Paladin/Bard for their party when it comes out on PC? I literally have zero friends that play DnD style games. ::grumbles ‘stupid call of duty’::

I loved blackguard in bg1 and 2 i might need to play a oathbreaker

What is the best subclass to multiclass with warlock? I feel like going oathbreaker.

Great content! Looking forward to the rest of the classes 🎉

An Oathbreaker Paladin who multiclasses into Warlock would be interesting from a role playing perspective. After breaking your oath you decide to serve another entity.

Wanted to say thank you for going a bit more in-depth on the oathbreaker in this; can't wait to see more BG3 content here; keep up the great work!

12lvl cap...sigh..maybe they will increase it with future dlcs?

i would have like to be able to give who I swore the Oath to, even if it was just a text input field.

I honestly believe it’s not worth making a full Paladin since it’s 12 lvl max. All delicious stuff ends at 6th lvl, and starts at 13 lol. But you do need those spellslots. So imo, it would be more optimal to multiclass it at sorc. I mean non stop smites coupled with bonus action fireball. How do you miss on that? And considering spell casters in bg3 don’t get nerfed like in DND when multiclassing .
