Started a Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough (I pirated it because of course), and decided to roll a Paladin, as to roleplay a class struggle oriented fighter against oppression, next thing I know I'm stuck with a whole bunch of silly ass moral codes and liberal bullshit.
In the end the aristocratic ass elf that you can get as a companion is doing all the hard work not to break the RP of my main character and I'm hardly using it for the fun things (assassinating class enemies).
SMH
Try again as an Oath of Vengeance Paladin, AKA unhinged vigilante Paladin. Pretty much the only player choices which can break their code of conduct are not showing enthusiasm for moving the plot forward. I don't think you're obligated to tolerate any oppressors at any point to move the plot forward, and Vengeance has no restrictions about who they're allowed to pick fights with...
Thanks for the tip ! TBH I had no dea about the Oaths and such, i'm a total newcomer to the DnD rules and such. At that point tho I think I'm too invested in my run and despite scummy actions being done in my party (plausible deniability hehe) things are working okaaayish and pluggable to the RP (as long as the paladin is told to close his eyes for a quick second and no innocent is offed).
Gotta say, it's a really good game, I'm at the end of act 1 and been staying around for like 9h in those early zones. Love it.
I think you can change your oath by talking to Withers at your camp
Yeah, he lets you redo all of your characters levels and ability scores
