Smiting your foes into paste does sound pretty tempting.

—orchestrated by user Fable_Nova—gathered over 5,000 votes in under a week, with Paladin hitting the top of the charts. This was followed immediately by three other Charisma-based classes: Bard, Sorcerer, and Warlock.

This is hardly surprising: in Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition—the tabletop system Baldur's Gate 3 is built upon—Charisma governs every skill that deals with talking to people. Deception, Intimidation, and Persuasion all fall under this umbrella. The four cool kids of this poll all use Charisma as their spellcasting stat, making them a natural fit for the role of party leader and face.

Fable_Nova also mentioned that the Paladin's Oath of Vengeance subclass—a Batman-style antihero that can mark enemies for holy justice—was by far the most popular, with"more votes than all the other oaths combined". The most popular subclass in the poll overall was the Bard's College of Swords, however, even if Paladins received more votes as a class. People just really like spellblades, I guess.
