Can't you pick a deity as Paladin/Cleric?
I'm in the character creator and I don't see the option. I don't see an option to pick your patron as a Warlock either. Is this just not a thing?

There goes my desire to create these characters. Following a particular god's teachings was the main reason for me to even RP these characters.

Clerics can pick a diety
Paladins arent religious anymore in the same way as clerics, they use oaths now
Warlocks still pick their patron, its their subclass

I was gonna say, I know I picked a god for something at some point when making either a Paladin or a Cleric. And just picking whatever because religion is silly.

You can very much pick your deity as Cleric. There's a ton to pick from.
For Warlock you have three patrons that work as your subclass. Great Old One, The Fiend or The Archfey.
Paladins pick their oath rather than deity.

I somehow missed that for clerics. Thanks.

Sub-classes mentioning a non-specific entity isn't the same as picking your patron, though.

There is a mod to bring it back on Nexus. Dialogue markers are still in the game even for Pallies.

You get to pick between fiend, GOO and archfae. Sadly they gutted archfae really hard, its so much worse than base 5e :(

But those aren't specific entities. Fiend is a TYPE of being, same with GOO and Archfay.

Cleric, yes you can. Paladin, I don't think so.

When a paladin multiclass into a cleric they choose a deity and i have seen quite a lot of (Paladin of Tyr) conversations choices during my current playthrough.

I don't like multiclassing, but thank you for the information.

Yeah I wish I could pick a specific patron.
And in general that patrons were more fleshed out. Would probably make worth playing a faelock despite how much they were gutted, just for fun fae shenanigans.
