I love it so so so much. I love how they made Oathbreaker a class with nuanced lore instead of basic "MUAHAHAH IM EVIL NOW" lore. I honestly always loved the aesthetics of Oathbreaker, but I never vibed with the "Paladins who seek power and to do evil" because it is a very simple reason and I always thought a paladin can break their Oath for very good reasons; like a paladin can falter in their convictions, and not for selfish evil reasons either, or even do acts of good that go against the tenants of their Oath. Oathbreaker in BG3 heavily reminds me of Dark Knights in FFXIV, we even have an NPC similar to the Oathbreaker Knight and I wouldn't be surprised if they got inspired by this to adjust the lore.

Anyone else think that the Oathbreaker Knight needed some sort of reverb or effect on his voice to make him sound more supernatural? Like he's literally covered in fire and his eyes are burning, but he just sounds like a Glaswegian crack-head

My theory: the paladin oaths are vague, nonsensical and easy to break on purpose. Whoever is responsible for them needs money to keep the whole paladin infrastructure going.

The only thing I wish BG3 incorporated was the ability to play as a Shadow Druid.

Oathbreaker Knight on his break to liberate Celtic Scotland from that bloody Norman invaders

I adore the Oathbreaker Knight's accent.

It runs nicely with someone who is resistant of the dark urge

this reminded me of a video I saw about a head canon on the powers of the paladin and why it uses charisma instead of wisdom or intelligence for spells: A paladin's oath isn't bound to what God they align it to, it is their belief itself that empowers them to an otherworldly nature, the gods function more like a witness to them to uphold those beliefs

"Leave" always the correct choice when grandpa paladin is asking you to stop being an oathbreaker... like why would I do that, these powers are dope

Playing as redeemed Durge is the only way to get Karlach to tie me up on-screen, so I don't really have a choice.

I played my durge run as an oathbreaker and broke the oath as soon as possible so I could flavour it as being oath of conquest, broken by not doing indulging in the urge and killing innocents (we'll ignore the tieflings who captured Laezel). Had no idea this was a thing, maybe by the time I reclaimed my oath the dialogue option was gone

I wish he had gotten more screen time.

Oathbreaker Knight really pulled a Mewtwo: "The circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." LMAO

This makes the game 10 times better!

How do you get this line of dialogue from him? I’m in act 3 and he doesn’t mention anything of my urge.

Pretty sensible dialogue response, as it leaves it open-ended (given it's the player's own character, so you would hope the voiceover wouldn't "rewrite" their own backstory).

They really did think of everything holy shit

Outhbraker sounds like a Samurai

Well I know what Class I'mma be for my Dark Urge playthrough

I think the dark urge is like goku from drsgon ball. Born "evil" born angry but got a good childhood and is now trying to redeem himself/herself.

My Dark Urge was a Wild Magic Sorcerer, but I multi-classed as an Oath of Vengeance Paladin in Act 3. I almost immediately broke my oath by helping Astarion sacrifice 7,000 people to become a Vampire Ascendent. Not my finest move, but I killed Isobel to unlock the Slayer Form, and convinced Shadowheart to kill Dame Aylin to become a Dark Justiciar, so an Oathbreaker Paladin suited my Dark Urge quite nicely. With the Gloves of Dexterity and the Finesse weapon you get for killing the Hag in Act 3, I was havin a blast making my father proud.

Hol' up, we just gonna gloss over the Volo-corpse?!

Oathbreaker bhaalspawn kinda feels like the most fitting way to play this game. You even have high strength and charisma for carrying all the loot and dialog options.

it's never explicitly stated that durge was a murder-hobo during the events that led up to their capture, so it's possible that paladin durge decided to turn against bhaal shortly before they were betrayed, since it's already established that even pure bhaalspawn can turn against bhaal with enough willpower, which durge would've presumably had since they're repeatedly described as being far more "controlled" than orin. maybe they even swore their oath while captured, which would make a lot of sense for the oath of vengeance. in 5e and BG3 by extension paladins don't get their powers from any deity even if most of them follow one, they get them solely from their oath, so it's honestly more reasonable for durge to be a paladin than a cleric as the barrier of entry is just "swear that you'll serve your oath", unless you argue that they turned to the gods when betrayed considering that bhaal has forsaken them and whichever god is chosen would've gladly answered their prayers to take such a loyal servant away from bhaal.

Ай бұрын

It didn't, it's pretty canon that Durge broke their Oath by murdering their entire paladin order if they are a paladin. I think, however, what could have happened is that once you awoke in the Nautilod you had no memories of your past life, and that very personality you had before being corrupted as the Temple of Bhaal's leader (not when your first urges appear, because Bhaalspawn can still be good and have good morals) reemerges, so that's why you have your Oath again; because you forgot what made you cruel. However, my honest opinion is that this makes no sense because a Paladin's Oath is so engraved in a person's soul that even after losing your memories you would still be an Oathbreaker. But probably they decided to make it this way to not give you spoilers (If you are an Oathbreaker it kind of shows you were not a very good person before or something corrupted you), because Oathbreaker is harder to play and mostly in the Shadow-Cursed Lands (Aura of Hate gives more damage to you and undead), and because of technical issues (how would the Oathbreaker Knight introduce himself if you have already broken your Oath, etc.)

@@theprinceofawesomeness Black literally, yes, but if you think deeper, the abilities embrace the powers of darkness but that doesn't mean they are evil or will be used for evil. That's nuance and greyness.

@@blancat.7174 the ability Aura of Hate is a buff to any Fiend and Undead, you are helping objective evil which makes it an objective evil class, there as the person using the class might not be evil the powers comes from evil to help evil. Oathbreaker simply clashes thematicly with the rest of the paladin kit, if you want a grey paladin subclass then we need to talk about Oath of Conquest (which is slightely darker than grey) or Oath of Vangence (wchich is on the lighter side)

Kinda odd they felt the need to explain it. 5e paladins do *not* have to be paragons of virtue (i.e. Lawful Good only). A Bhaalspawn who decided to align themselves with daddy and become an Oath of Vengeance paladin makes perfect sense.

I'm guessing it's because: 1-you can make good oaths 2-Larian saw coming the millions of people who would call it an inconsistency to be able to be a dark urge paladin if that dialogue didn't exist

hey yo what happend to poor Volo

Why does he remind me of George MacDonald?

I played a paladin in early access and it turned out that killing goblins was breaking my oath. Felt really stupid but I got to meet a freaking narzugon so I wasn't mad for long. I wonder if he has any interaction with Mizora. They are both devils, maybe they know each other.

I myeah the oath of devotion involves never killing innocents or people who are "temporarily hostile" as that's a murder you committed on your own and not something somewhat necessary. I had the same thing happen in moonrise towers' prison when I preemptively killed the guards to make the prison break easier

@@mitsunitaiko1742 I am aware of that now and it's stupid. This is the equivalent of the DM railroading you into breaking your oath due to arbitrarily ruling that someone you've killed is innocent despite being outwardly guilty of henous shit.

@@BIGESTblade I encourage you to reread the tenets of the oath of devotion "Show mercy to your foes, but temper it with wisdom" Basically it's ok to kill them when you really need it, not when you attack them out of the blue. "Treat others with fairness, and let your honorable deeds be an example to them. Do as much good as possible while causing the least amount of harm". If you wanted an oath that lets you kill evil people as much as you want, you should have picked oath of vengeance

@@mitsunitaiko1742 That can apply to the guild in the city but not to absolutists. Goblins actively threaten the druids in the Grove plus hostages. Killing them is the way to be merciful because it results in less casualties. In Moonrise Towers Aylin will kill absolutely everybody she can even if unnecessary so your oath should fail because you didn't stop her and Jaheira with her men. But the game is intelligent enough to realize that it would be unreasonable and doesn't penalize you despite your actions causing unnesecary harm

The Oath Breaker thing was a cool idea....it's too bad Larian botched it so badly. Especially for Vengeance Paladins. Oh, you *didn't* want to take a life you deemed to be innocent but the game thinks you should kill? Guess you want to fully embrace evil and darkness and summon army's of undead and fight with a sinful necrotic energy! No middle ground. Usually your powers stop working and then you continue on the path to being an oath breaker. In BG3 Lord Soth's honor guard shows up to to congratulate you on being so evil. Honestly the Oath Breaker seems more like the antithesis to a Devotion Paladin.. But then so does a Vengeance Paladin, in a way.

@@GigiBranconi Well there's is a discordance between gameplay and cutscenes then, same with Aylin being a badass psychopath during scripted stuff yet she folds in two hits during actual gameplay to the point it's comical, her sitting the entire acolyte fight out on the floor then magically appearing stomping the corpse of her gf's father like it's a mosquito.

wont lie, I hate the oathbreaker subclass. To me it just goes against the whole scheme of paladin being 'yeah, that thing that you swore to stand by and the very willpower behind such an ideal? That literally lets you influence reality, don't fuck this up.' in short by being 'you fucked this up.' Granted, i don't like how BG3 handles oathbreaking either, I wish there was more warnings about it as your character would know more about what breaks their oath than we would. But yes, long story short, I heavily dislike oathbreaker. others can play it and that's fine, but even it's flavor that you 'vowed to serve dark forces'... THAT'S STILL AN OATH! Give it it's own tenets! players can ignore the tenets if they and the dm both agree that's okay! All that being said... I fuckin love the oathbreaker paladin guy... which i find funny.

In theory, but 5e paladins are powered by their oaths rather than directly by a god, and most of the oaths require you to commit to doing good instead of evil, so people usually think of them as heroic.

Guess it's another case of tadpole handwaivium this game loves so much.

Personal headcanon for my Dark Urge was that he was an Oath of Conquest paladin who unintentionally broke his oath by allowing himself to be deceived and usurped by Orin. If I could have had him start his journey in BG3 as an Oathbreaker I would.

It doesnt make sense, unless Durge paladin is only a paladin after you wake up on the nautiloid, them being even a vengeance paladin makes zero sense since they are described as merciless and indiscriminate killers, if they had been like the emperor describes himself then maybe but urge? Yeah no.
