Um... has anyone successfully made an Oathbreaker Paladin with the Dark Urge character? Maybe spoilers? (lemm.ee)

I don't want to spoil this for anyone, however, something seems very very off to a point where I am doomed to fail in early Act 1. I created the Paladin, broke the oath, became an oathbreaker. Went off to the druid village, did the usual quests. Specifically - interacting with the musical tiefling who is writing a song.
Upon my first attempt for a full rest after that, something happens where I seemingly pretty much fucked over my game with my level 3 party. Other than avoiding that quest or avoiding being an oathbreaker at that point, my only option is reroll non-dark urge or go way back to a much earlier save. I do not believe having a dark urge oathbreaker paladin early on is doable.

Anyone else have this experience?

There aren’t many interactions which outright rob you of your agency, and indeed it’s very possible to resist the urges. It shouldn’t strongly impede any paladin playthrough, apart from that one hiccup that happens at camp.

Oh it was the hiccup at camp indeed! I explained it in more detail in a separate reply. Loving the game but hate to ruin someone else's enjoyment of revealing storylines :)
