Was Choosing Mithaniel Marr a dumbass idea?

[dookieshed]

I guess I really like making bad decisions, because not only am I a Half-Elf Paladin, I also happened to Choose Mithanel Marr as my diety thinking, "how much could my god possibly affect my experience?!?"

For starters, I have to deal with Freeport's BS. Got hated with the guards by like level 4 so that was fun.

Then there's apparently some dank 2H sword you can get from a quest if you follow Tunare, so there goes that.

And finally, I've just recently discovered that my Cultural armor requires more expensive mats than any of its counterparts because Mr. Marr thinks he's SOO special that he can demand his armor be forged out of freakin diamonds.

Don't get me wrong. I love my Paladin. He's level 28 and it hasn't been easy, but I think the challenge is part of the fun.

Ultimately though, was Mithaniel Marr a bad move, or is it not going to matter in the long run?
