Fun Fact: Half way through filming for the Oath Police Character, I was using a stereotypical nasally cop voice. Told Jakin to stop filming because I didn’t like the delivery of the lines and we should try it again but with a new voice. Landed on the one you are hearing now and after every line Jakin and I couldn’t stop laughing by how goofy it all felt. One of my favorite characters to play as of late!
Now i wanna see a Jimmy Stewart movie in the middle ages 😂
It’s like Jimmy Stewart meets Don Knotts 😀
Oh yeah bring back the voice or the whole character that's a keeper. 🤣
Nice
He sounds like Wilford warfstache.
Not petting a dog is a good reason to lose an oath
I pet a cat and broke my oath. Seriously don't pet cats as a durge paladin
@@kluang1 They are demonic beasts after all 😜
Agreed.
Oath of the ancients has speak with animals. You can ask permission first.
Not asking seems like a good way to break your oath.
If you pet the dog, it might like you. If it likes you, it might want to defend you. If it defends you like the bestest friend, you'll have been responsible for ridding the world of an angel.
Don't pet the dogs as an adventurer, leave this duty to the civilians.
Or just like cast death ward on the doggo
“You heard someone say the word Pathfinder” lmao 😂
Could you explain that to me? I don't get it
@@kubawoowio9989 Pathfinder is a spin-off based on 3rd edition, WOTC is getting pissy at Pathfinder because it does a lot of things better.
@@ming45612
Oh. Thank you
@@ming45612 as a pathfinder player idunno if 'better' is the right word loll
@@kubawoowio9989 Pathfinder is like D&D, the difference is, it's good.
Every BG3 paladin knows that the most vile thing you can do to break your oath is missclicking😆
I lost my oath in a multiplayer because I thought my friend was picking the dialogue cause it showed his character…it was my choice tho…I chose mercy I shouldn’t have cause I was an oath of the ancients
@@wolfgangstallionmusic5639
Oath of ancients usually is merciful. That doesn’t make sense. Vengeance paladins lose their oath from showing mercy.
@@kolbywilliams7234 I KNOW!! without spoiling it I spared something not natural to the world and set it free…
@@wolfgangstallionmusic5639don’t spare giant Killy majiggy things then
@@wolfgangstallionmusic5639
Oh, yeah. Sparing evil stuff is always bad for paladins.
(In incredibly attractive accent) Oathbreaker.
The oathbreaker knight is the only reason I break my oath
@@nicolebee3283 right? I love the accent....
I. WANT. THAT. ARMOR.
When I saw this comment I naturally said oathbreake in an accent that is some hybrid of Scottish and Swedish

Vengeance is damn near impossible to break. You pretty much have to go out of your way to break it. The other two on the other hand are broken from simply farting in the wrong room at the wrong time.
One guy commented "he took a vengeance quest and broke his oath completing it." How did he try breaking it?
I broke mine from betraying the tieflings by "helping" them kill Lae'zel and uno reverse sides to break my oath of vengeance lol
@@loganshaw4527 thats like when MoistKritical finished his addiction, not overcome it
he collected all the cards he wanted lol
Not if you prevent a PoW from being treated poorly or killed.
My friend was Oath of Vengeance. He touched the prison door from sazza. Just touched it, boom, there went his oath xD
"You overheard someone say pathfinder" xD
And they have the better paladin ehm I mean champion
As a vengeance paladin who participated in numerous atrocities in BG3 i somehow never broke my oath and learned of that possibility on the wiki
Still my favorite quote for people wanting to speedrun oathbreaker was "Pick oath of ancients, walk up to random person minding their business, unalive them, boom done"
if you save sazza in order to get into the gob camp you break your oath of vengeance.
@@saqwana25 Only if it's the vengeance paladin opening the door (not even unlocking it). You can also open if after Sazza is dead, open, and break your oath 😂
Oath of venegance is easy dont skip any oportunity to kick ass to anyone mildly bad and you will be fine.
Same here. Vengeance paladin best paladin(outside of conquest but that one’s not in BG3).
Two ways I've broken vengeance is by killing tieflings to save Lae Zel, and ascending Astarion
"New decision, im a paladin of vengance and you are my sworn enemy now!"
You didn't immediately attack when you saw me. I'll be taking that Oath now.
Reject Oath of Redemption
Embrace *Oathbreaker*
*oath police proceeds to give every single oath*
Oh boy time for Hexblade!
@@therealHaml0rdonly with mods sadly
@@saqwana25 you can play oathbreaker in bg3, all it takes is to break the oath. It's just not available in character creation. For oath of vengeance-oath breaking all you have to do is letting guilty go without punishment or not taking revenge on people... for ancients? Attack non-aggresive animal, raise dead and so on... I'm sure you'll find a list somewhere.
@@WolfySnowy
You can also break the oath of vengeance by talking to the injured bird in Netty's infirmary, and bugging it until it dies.
Getting real Wilford Warfstache vibes from the Oath Police guy
My wife said the same thing when she heard it!
Gotta love it when you manage to sneak up on an enemy and get a surprise round on the NPC who kicks puppies for fun, only to find out that even though they would've tried to kill you anyway, it still counts as killing an "innocent person" so your oath is broken. 🙄
Unfortunately, that is the limitation of being a computer game. There is no room for nuance to come in.
Isn't that only for Oath of Devotion? Since one of its tenants is being honorable and jumping somone is inherently dishonorable?
@@justincase9650
That'd make sense
@@justincase9650 Nope, happened to me with Oath of Ancients. I ambushed Dror Ragzlin by sneaking everyone up to the rafters then obliterating him and his goons and that broke my oath. I had to reload, have my pally talk with him and then the rest of the gang interrupted the conversation with an arrowfest. I've killed a bazillion things with sneak attacks but only ambushing Dror Ragzlin caused my oath to break (so far). Honestly, just having Astarion in the party (especially the way I play him) ought to constantly break my oath.
@@SomeUniqueHandleFun fact: it only breaks you oath if the paladin lands the killing blow.
Ah that ending. I don't care if this was a buildup to that end joke but I love it.
There's goes my 2 week win streak
I don’t think I’ve ever expected it less. Seriously came out of nowhere, loved it.

BRO I DIDN'T LOSE IT FOR LIKE A GODDAMN YEAR I'M SO MAD
@@internetlurker1850 😆
It is kinda immersion breaking how easy it is to oath break considering that the power of a path comes from the paladins will power and not a divine entity.
Theoretically a paladin could be as hypocritical as he wanted as long as he truly believed he was acting in accordance with the oath.
Journey Quest did a good job with that, imo.
I have paladins roll saves when something would break their oath and if they pass they can choose to will their way through it but if they fail they must find a way to uphold their oath or they risk breaking it which results in some interesting extended role play options to unlock the next step in their journey
(The save typically depends on the circumstances)
The thing is too, at least according to the PHB, a Paladin must intentionally or severely break their oath and make no attempt at atonement to lose their powers. Otherwise they just have to repent, which usually involves righting whatever wrong they caused or an act of self-denial, like holding an all-night vigil to pray for forgiveness to the gods instead of resting. (while a Paladin's powers don't come directly from any particular god, they are still Divine in nature and D&D assumes most, if not all, mortals at least pay lip service to one deity or another.)
Mistakes and transgressions are OK, and to a degree even expected, since it's you can't really say they're dedicated to the oath if it never gets challenged and reaffirmed.
"Although many paladins are devoted to gods of good, a paladin’s power comes as much from a commitment to justice itself as it does from a god."
I am getting tired with people saying that paladins powers come from their own willpower and not from divine entity.
It can come from either of them. In some cases both!
@@Meshifuari Yeah, besides that is just the rules for a "vanilla" setting. Different settings have their own rules, so unless they retcon FR lore, paladins in Toril still get their powers from their deities.
Our paladin of vengeance was the nicest boy in our team, yet he never broke his oath
Must of filled his vengeance quota when not in the team.
.....screw you for that last joke.
You got a laugh out of me.
....... 17 years. I made it 17 years..... and now.... I lost the game.
at least I am not alone.
@@provalone it's been at least a decade for me. You never really win the game.
It’s been about 11 years for me dang it
@@provalone What game, BG3?
THE game
The one you lose by thinking about it@@Dvinven
If you are sworn to this game, you took the Oath of Disappointment
I don't remember it being bad though? I've just not played it in months and haven't started again because depression is an asshole and decision paralysis is the worst status affliction ever.
@@Archris17 it is a good game, just a rant to paladins
That why I said sworn, and not simply "game bad, ooga"
BG3 with Skyrim's Background?
Give me your Oath!
I have seen quite a few people say it's too easy to break your Oath. Meanwhile I'm sitting never having broken an Oath unless it was on purpose for an Oathbreaker run.
that guy must be a distant relative of wilford warfstache. lol
sometimes getting hint by the narrator about possibly breaking your oath with a decision might be nice tbh
Or a very obvious rule set at the beginning.
Like, how exactly does:
"You have set aside even your own purity to right wrongs and deliver justice to those who have committed the most grievous sins."
Translate into "Oi! You better not stand in the way of the emotional tiefling and her highly unnecessary killing of a Goblin, that could possibly give you some very good information, and that had nothing to do with the murder of the tiefling's brother except for the fact she is from the same group and is a very loudmouthed moron that doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut"
Like, come on....I get she is getting revenge, but it is pretty darn unjustified revenge! Killing her after she betrays you on the other hand? now that, that is justified revenge!
@@bibbobella
Complaining that stopping vengeance breaks the vengeance paladin’s oath goes to show just how little you’ve played paladins, friend. Or have primarily played paladin with very accommodating DM’s. They are a character for those who actually like roleplaying. It doesn’t matter if the goblin had useful info or wasn’t directly responsible for what happened. That’s a matter of justice, or shrewdness, not vengeance. A vengeance paladin has faith that they will accomplish their goals in spite of, or because of, their pursuit of vengeance. You have to play like that, or allow other characters in your party handle dialogue. Which is something that actually makes sense. Your character isn’t going to be suited for every situation.
@@kolbywilliams7234 Okay then, friend. Could you maybe tone down the patronizing a tad?
You aren't necessarily wrong, but I don't even want to have a conversation with you when you have that "better than tho" attitude....
@@bibbobella
Sorry I hurt your feelings, I guess.
@@kolbywilliams7234no you're just being a condescending prick
You pull up with this elitist "well you obviously dont understand roleplaying and your dm are to easy on you"
You really think people want to discuss things with you while you're acting like an elitist gatekeeper and insulting/making wild assumptions without evidence?
And btw ,paladins dont have to be lawful stupid to uphold their oaths, in dnd there is clear room for nuance and biding your time
By your logic then a oov HAS to be a murder hobo that kills and charges into battle the instant they hear of wrong doing...but that's a tpk waiting to happen
You can play oov and wait to carry out vengeance long enough to interrogate a captured enemy or in special rare cases you can even carry out that vengeance in manners that dont involve the offenders death
You're not trying to correct or inform people, your just in the comments to harass and flex your ego when you clearly think paladins are all lawful stupid and incapable of upholding an oath AND using critical thinking or logic of any kind
What your talking about isnt "roleplaying" its glorified murder hobo with an oath as a backstory
*Laughs in Oath Breaker Dark Origin while holding Gale's Hand*
... is it attached to his arm, and torso?
Neglecting to pet a pup is solid grounds for breaking an oath.
I played an Oath of the Ancients Paladin Durge. Only broke my Oath a twice.
First, I humiliated Ethel by making her give up Mayrina and the power she offered me for her.
Second, I suggested the 7k spawn be freed and given a chance to overcome their worse nature, just as I had overcome my own the day before.
I broke my oath of the Ancients because I killed a Duergar on the beach in hold person
FYI: Tossing Wulbren into the ocean at the pier will trigger neutral witnesses to attack you but doesn't break the Ancients Oath 👍
It's painful how accurate this is.
You overheard someone say "Pathfinder" 😂
"And speaking of game, you just lost it." That's worse than any joke my podcast group has made on my channel. It hurts how 2000s that was.
Duke, this is easily one of your best videos yet. The character work is outstanding and had me rolling.
Keep it up, fam!
Yup, I was playing as an Oath of Vengeance Paladin, was sent on a literal mission of vengeance, got a "Oath Broken" for doing it.
0:30 He took the Oath of BEING NUMBER 1!
One deepcut comment completeing the reference joke out of 106 comments. I was expecting more since they never stopped making Sponge Bob and they play old classic episodes all the time in their rotation.
Oath guard guy almost sounds like Owen Wilson.
I was thinking more wilford warfstache
for real though, it felt like every random action, even cracking jokes was turning me in an oathbreaker 90% of the times
That’s got to be some pain to go through. Knowing how easy to break it apparently.
how did i find this after 40 seconds of it being uplpaded
Because you rolled a NAT20 on investigation
No finding a video under 1 minute. I shall take tour oath now.
@@OneShotQuesters WHY DID YOU MAKE ME LOSE THE GAME
Same XD WTF
How did I find this comment within 4 days of posting.
Youre dirty for that last 10 seconds my guy.
C'mon, BG3, Richard Garriott figured out the karma meter forty years ago!
Ultima references here in the year 2024?? Bless.
Then the Oath loses a ton of value if you can just go “hmm, I can definitely afford to do this obviously bad thing that directly conflicts with my Oath because I haven’t done it too much”. I mean, the Oaths really don’t since you can just buy your Oath back with laughably easy to get gold, but this would only make that worse.
the charisma classes be like:
paladin: I can't do ANYTHING
sorceror: I die from getting looked at wrong
warlock: I can cast two spells before I'm effectively useless
bard: 💃⚔🏹🎻💁♀🔓🔥❄
Objection, my first run was a Storm Sorcerer and I was the only party member who didn't die all the time. Tempestuous Flight go brrr
warlocks have the best can trip and upgrading it with the right equipment gives really high damage
@@erikburzinski8248they think only their spells make a warlock strong.
Paladins get benefits in bg3 to multiclassing into a Charisma spellcasting class- to power up more smites . Bardadin..Padlock..Socadin..
@@aaronhumphrey2009 hm I meant moreso with the moral/story choices you can make in the game. I like being a bard because I can be a total dick if the situation requires. but yes, paladin is a sick class to play combat wise!
Just have an oath to break your oath and that dude will stop bothering you.
Uhm... But is it possible to break or keep that oath? Cause if your oath is to break your oath then you cannot break your own which means you cannot achieve your oath so you've broken your oath...😅
@@jocomfiresin6982 And that dude will definitely not bother you
@@oguzcanoguz5977 but you've broken your oath by not breaking your oath cause breaking your oath is in fact keeping your oath. So... either he will crash like an overloaded computer or he can never leave but will always hate you because you've trapped him eternally with someone hes absolutely disgusted by. An oath breaker... At the same time he has to support your oath breaking because your oath breaking is your oath. So not only have you trapped this man who hates you as your eternal companion for the rest of time but you've also made him hate himself...
So he'll take your oath because of the fact that paradox-creating oaths are forbidden, then. Shame.
My first BG3 character is an oath of devotion paladin. At first i tried very hard to play her as lawful good but at some point i started playing her almost like a rogue. i took out a big portion of the goblin camp by sneaking around, having gale cast sleep and then murdering the goblins in their sleep. i even snuck some of those goblins out of the camp in my inventory. my oath? totally fine.
i helped out the two zhentarim in the cave with gnolls because i didn't realize they were slavers and freely walked around the zhentarim hideout for a while. then i decided i wanted their loot and just randomly started attacking them with astarion. my paladin literally entered the fight by yeeting one of the dudes she had helped of the cliff. my oath? totally fine!
and then the one guard in the zhentarim hideout, who wasn't in the first fight, attacks my character, she kills him and suddenly her oath is broken. All i could think of was, it's about time but why now?! 😅😂 the oath system is silly.
I was totally ready for "and I'll be taking those" but then the double-shot at the end... brilliant.
I love the solitude background in a video placed in BG3
0:30 Classic, glad to see people still remember the old Spongebob.
I love that I almost instantly recognised Solitude when he had barely spawned.
"you overheard someone say pathfinder" i'm dead.
I love the Oath Guard 😂
this wouldn't happen to have a wilford warfstache reference would it?
I don’t *think* so, but at the same time I could see it
EDIT: Actually, no, yeah, you’re right, it really does
This really gives off Wilford Warfstache energy lol
I feel that! I tried to play Paladin on my first play through and lost my Oath. So I changed to a Barbarian and loved being an animal!
I love the Oath Guard accent
Honestly this was a big point of contention for me. My first character is a Paladin with Oath of the Ancients. And I did read all of the oath rules. And there were multiple times in the early game where I did something explicitly following the written rules of my oath which then broke the oath. I wasn't intending to save scum, but the game forced me to do so by breaking its own literally written down in-game rules.
I've never felt so validated
That ending was perfect!
I can't believe you just hit me with The Game. That is some real Oathbreaker stuff right there.
Not killing that woman's zombie husband was a violation of my oath, so I reloaded, changed to a cleric, let them go, and changed back to a paladin. I'm not letting something like a subjective oath unilaterally decide I can't do good deeds.
On the one hand, I’d really like to try playing a Paladin for my next run.
On the other hand, I wouldn’t last five minutes without accidentally breaking my oath, I think.
Paladins with oaths: .breaths.
Game: and I took that personally.
This is why I just went as an oathbreaker
😂😂😂 Amazing!!
Convert to sorcery, together with the bards we make fun of the wizards, the barbarians join us too sometimes
Vengeance Paladin has to be my absolute favorite class.
I loved the oath police lol
That cop voice was excellent!
"you heard someone say pathfinde" XD
The oath police is giving Warfstache vibes
Paladin dialogue options are the best.
*speedruns paladin creation in BG3*
*loading*
- Hey, you finally awake?
The Oath police sounds like Jimmy Stewart
3:42 you got me good with that one
Was the Oath police officer a “Warfstache” imitation? Nice job. Cracked me up quite a bit xD
Oath Police sounds like Wilford Warfstache, and i love it
Glad to see The Game has made a returned in recent years keeps you om your toes
I am absolutely dying from laughter literally when the guy went like: F you you have a oath now.
"You overheard someone say Pathfinder"
i must say i like the "Willford Worfstash" voice, it's a good one plz keep it ^^
You son of goblin, that ending
THAT LAST BIT WAS UNCALLED FOR AND SO EVIL OH MY GODS.
"and speaking of the game you just lost it" lol
The oath police guy really sounds like someone with a pink moustache
Love the Jimmy Stuart voice!
You just made me lose "The Game" and you made me think about it so I lost it! (Great video btw)
I never broke my oath, not once. 🗿
"Oh and speaking of game, you just lost it."
FUUUUUUUUUUU** I had such a good run!
You do a passable Jimmy Stewart impression. It really fits the police character.
This video gave serious Wilford Warfstache vibes, and I'm so here for it!
Me: Kills guard in Moonrise Tower prison.
"Yewve broken yer oath, paladin."
THE PALACOP IS FREAKING GOLDEN
Yep. It be like that sometimes
3:41 You didn't...
DAMN YOU~!
You cant fool me, that's the skyrim wall next yo the Hall of thr Dead kn solitude
"You have broken your oath paladin"
"Speaking of games you just lost it."
Me: "Son of a..."
Durge Redemption with Oath of vengeance, I never broke my oath.
Funny how you started with the _hardest_ Oath to break.
“Threw it back for that Tic Tac”
I was waiting for that reference.
i started laughing before watching the video just with the title
I almost forgot about "Smitty Werben Jaggerman Jensen", thanks for reminding me that he existed xD
Loved the Spongebob reference with the name

Ah yes, "The Game", oldie but goodie.
Vengeance is actually the harder one to break.
