Lawful speech options seem more like Lawful stupid speech options

[UnlivingEnd]

I wanted to play a lawful evil character (Kind of like Alucard from hellsing) But the devs have seemed to have made lawful stupid options instead

Lawful evil person is supporter of a system that treats people unfairly. They do follow rules to the point but they twist them to fit their own agenda whenever possible.

From what I remember Alucard wasn't much of a lawful guy, nor much of a supporter of any system so I would go for some sort of neutral. I am not so sure if he could be described as plain evil either. In my opinion chaotic neutral madman is closer to it.

Also remember few different alignment choices here and there do not shift your alignment much. So if you are lawful evil it does not mean you have to keep picking lawful evil choices. You can pick sometimes lawful good and be a happy camper.

All of the lawful options I’ve seen boil down to “do what seems right without actually thinking about it” Also Alucards behavior seemed pretty lawful to me. He only killed people if it made sense to and always loyally follows the orders of his master who herself served her country. Let’s not forget that Alucard himself was once a dictator and seems to retain that mentality. All of the lawful options so far have just been rash and thoughtless

The lawful options in WotR seem to be written entirely with the Aeon mythic path in mind. Which is to say, they don't lean good or evil. They are purely neutral; with an almost fanatic roboticism in their adherence to "law." This is great if you're going Aeon, or playing a cartoonish Judge Dredd/Robocop type character. But sadly, it doesn't really work for any other kind of character.

Its not like you have to pick any option you don't like just because of the alignment. You can role play quite a bit and still stay within your preferred alignment.

One of the biggest flaws in this game is the dialog options. I wanted to rewrite them after I beat it but can't figure out how. Yet. Both lawful options - good and bad - need a lot of help. I found that the non-alignment dialog choice sounded the best more often than not.
