I dislike what they did with the LB voice lines.

Discussion

Don't get me wrong, he is pretty good, but to me at least, it feels watered down. I always imagined him as a unhinged, fanatical and just slightly crazy person.

When i saw the voices for a LB v LB I didn't expect:

"The judge shall be judged."

"Prepare for judgment brother."

I expected:

"CRIMINAL! WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN THE LAW!"

"I AM THE LAW! YOU WILL BURN!"

Or at least something more akin to the Spanish inquisition, much more brutal and intimidating, i really feel like he is too "honourable", following a code of chivalry kinda like warden. Tis a real shame because they could have made him so much more scary.

To be fair, they're supposed to uphold the law IIRC. But hopefully they put in some meme references for enjoyment.

I'm pretty glad they didn't do this. The whole fanatical zealot thing is over played as shit, especially with how popular Warhammer is, and how much more popular it's getting. Lawdad is basically an overeager cop, not an Inquisitor secret police type.

He isnt just a "overeager cop", he is a member of a order that is famed for its exceptional armour, whose construction is a secret of their order, so id put him far above being just a "cop".

Plus the quote:

"Pray that you do not need them. And when they arrive, pray that you have done no wrong."

They definetly strike me as more tgan just cops.

Having good armor=more than a cop? Medieval guards were fairly well armored and even today tactical teams have access to a lot of the same stuff the military does (infantry wise, because obviously they don't have tanks and artillery n shit). Lawbringer is only really unique in that aspect because he wears full plate, which makes sense given he's on a battlefield rather than policing a village. Armor doesn't make him more than basically a cop.

Plus the quote:

"Pray that you do not need them. And when they arrive, pray that you have done no wrong."

Because his whole thing is essentially policing the frontier. "Where order has broken down, where cruelty and lawlessness reign, Lawbringers ARE justice."

good armor

Full plate armour is pretty much "tank" level protection when the second best armoured character has chainmail.

This isnt good armour vs slightly better armour, this is 300 years of technological difference, its pretty much a redcoat vs a us marine.

Full plate was historically available to the richest of the rich, so no he isnt just a overeager tactical team member, he is a medieval equivalent of a tank.

Lawbringer is only really unique in that aspect because he wears full plate, which makes sense given he's on a battlefield rather than policing a village. Armor doesn't make him more than basically a cop.

Again, assuming medieval "police" was around the level of a common footslodier, that wears a brigandine, this would give them around 200 to 300 years of technological advantage over the regular soldiers. So no he isnt just a overeager cop, he is exceptionally rich and obviously works with very rich and powerful people, just by the fact he has such advanced armour.

Tanks are so, so much more than just heavily armored vehicles. Lawbringer being more protected than others doesn't mean much, especially when hes part of an order that either uses specialized smiths or has members make their own armor. Money likely factors very little into it, and I'd wager most lawbringers (and most wardens, peacekeepers, and Centurions for that matter) are given their armor rather than paying for it. Unless we're meant to believe lawbringers are all high aristocrats.

See the above point. His personal wealth is incredibly debatable due to his armor specifically being a secret of his order (meaning whoever makes it is a part of that same order and unlikely to actually charge the otherwise obscene amounts of money for a suit of plate, and the lawbringers themselves may actually forge their own armor with materials provided by the order). And seriously....armor alone doesn't change his job in any sense. They literally are a travelling police force, restoring order when shit goes south. This is stated almost outright in the video. Clearly, they're soldiers as well, but we have no way of knowing if this is a primary or secondary capacity. I'm inclined to believe secondary, as there is lore about apollyon that hints that at least some lawbringers are responsible for protecting outlying knight villages

He's a lawman not a tard.

The unhinged fanatic is a worn out trope that grates the ears.

I never said that he should be a tard, we unfortunately have conquerer and shaman for that, im just saying he should be more fanatical towards his cause, you know like the crusaders were.

What you've described sounds a lot like our present conquerer.

IMPERIALITYOPLawbringer•

Does it? Conqueror is a criminal that has been forced intro service and has worked his way up through the ranks, he is unorthodox, rude and simple, he doesnt hold anything to his hearth when it comes to higher goals, while the LB is a member of a highly specialized and educated order of warriors. And at least from the vibes im getting from the announcement trailer i can assume they are brutal when it comes to punishing the criminals m

Have you heard the new conquerer??

“LAWBRINGER!? URAUGH!!", he sounds like he should be in special ed.

You don't want LB to sound like that. LB is the heart of the team. The support guy. The man who takes the law into his own hands and dispenses justice across the lands. Think Reinhardt from Overwatch mixed with Obi wan Kenobi and Judge Dredd. His personality should reflect the moveset. Honourable, punishing those who offend, supporting his Allie's, cautious.

He isn't a run of the mill crusader. His anger towards the wicked and the deceitful should be a silent cold anger that expresses itself in small inflections if the voice and small movements like in his executions.
