bit racist that innit

black dragons are swamp-dwellers, they don’t have any particular affiliation to night/shadow. That’s shadow dragons, they’re totally different.

ā€œOh no, she wants eternal night, how terrible for me, someone who blends perfectly into darkness. Oh no she inflicts pain, what a shame for someone who at best is ambivalent to thatā€

You couldn’t straight up say that you know nothing about them, but you can ask her to fill you in… right before you can tell her that her god smells.

What I’d like is to choose a god during character creation, like in wotr and then have dialogue related to that show up in game a few times. This conversation with shadowheart was a perfect opportunity for my character to say that Llolth is actually pog and she just doesn’t get it.

I dunno if you still get to since I’ve not made one yet, but you could in EA as long as you were specifically rolling a Cleric. I forget if it gave you dialogue tags like class/race do though.

I like the one conversation where you get a chance at pretending to be Lolth and you don’t have to pass the check against the conversation partner but against Lolth (but you only get to know that when you fail it).

never hired a hireling so fast in my LIFE

Haven’t tried with cleric, but as a sorcerer you don’t get that choice. Would be weird if they removed the choice for cleric (and paladin, if it had one).

It didn’t when I respecced Jaheira into paladin.

But also I don’t think that worked right, after I respecced her she got really mad and left the party forever. I reloaded and did literally nothing different and she stayed, so I think she’s just allergic to not being a druid. Kinda annoying since with Halsin I don’t really need a second druid friend.

Clerics get to pick a deity during char creation and have some deity specific prayer stuff pop up in the first act. (Yes you can be Lolth cleric)
Paladins only do their oath stuff in BG3

Deities to pick:
Selƻne
Bahamut
Tempus
Tyr
Helm
Ilmater
Mystra
Oghma
Kelemvor
Moradin
Corellon Larethian
Garl Glittergold
Yondalla
Lolth
Gruumsh
Tiamat
Eilistraee
Lathander
Talos
Tymora
Mielikki

I’ve also finally found a way to resolve the mountain pass in a way that I liked so onwards we go!

Cool selection. It irritates me when deity choice is only made an option/relevant to divine classes as it’s a pretty big part of character creation to me.

Summary

did you blow it up

No Sune? No sale.

I guess with how important romance, everyone is really a follower of Sune, in one way or another.

My worst issue with the game is me just having arrived in act 2 with tiefling druid but also wanting to fiddle around with shadow monk drow u_u

The list is already confusing enough. I can never remember how to spell most of these.

Also:

Stole the key, murdered boss man, took the treasure from the secret place and teleported away. I’m better than them.

I guess it would be somewhat difficult to reconcile oaths and being a devout of Llolth, for example.

Did you insult a god and get game overed?

Vengeance is appropriate for Lolth-Paladins.
As is Conquest, which sadly isn’t in game - though a few NPCs have similar features to it.

I stole a bunch of offerings to some gods from underneath a temple and all I got was a curse, which Shadowheart graciously removed from me immediately.

peeve: wyll has been stuck with a permanent exclamation mark on his head and I have no idea why it’s either stuck or doesn’t trigger correctly

Oath sworn Oathbreaker

Nah, I just lied to a ā€œgodā€

I can feel her disappointed looks from here.

It seems like there’s a bug with the convo after you loot the book in mountain pass about Duke Ravenguard - the ! stayed over his head for pretty much the entirety of act 2 for me.

She didn’t even comment on it. I don’t think anyone did, actually. I did get a very cool neck for Shadowheart out of it though - +2 to spell save DCs and an extra use of channel divinity between rests.

Thematically, sure, but mechanically things like killing innocents, which Llolth would be totally :+1: with, would he counted as breaking the oath with the current system. Things would have to be adjusted for evil gods.
