So I'm playing as a Paladin/Sorcerer/Dragon Disciple in Kingmaker, and I worried about falling out of Lawful Good. (spoilers unmarked below)
The first thing that really started to pull me away from lawful good was being anti-slavery. If you say slavery should be abolished, you're Chaotic? I didn't think that was how this worked! Even Abadar is anti-slavery, and he's LN. I'm astonished that my paladin can't be strongly anti-slavery.
The second thing that's been pushing me are the kingdom decisions. Often, there will be a NG choice and a LN choice and some other choices, but no LG choice. No matter what I pick, I'm losing ground on my LG alignment. Like most paladins I've met playing versions of D&D, my character prefers Good over Law when asked to choose. The result? I'm pushed more and more chaotic, without ever picking a chaotic choice.
The third thing that bothers me is a lot of the LG options are dumb or contrary to my goddess. The game allows me to make a LG paladin of the NG goddess Sarenrae, but not to play as one. Sarenrae is all about redemption, but the LG option is often to attack without talking to my enemies. Would it not be lawful to follow the rules of my goddess? Or LG to give all creatures equal standing under the law, and not blindly attack goblins?
My main questions are How worried should I be about falling? And is it the same in Wrath of the Righteous? I was planning on playing a paladin there, too, but if it's like this, I might pass.
