Is suppose to be a long sword but from the frickin size of it its more of a great sword without the extended handle.

What is the peace keeper holding in her right hand then?

It's clearly a longsword form the looks of it. It's just WAY to thick. It's more a long club with an edge than a sword.

A great sword is pretty much a humansized sword, which you wield like a polearm and not like a sword.

The Peacekeeper uses an arming sword.

The warden uses what would be a short greatsword (like the claymore) or a version of a spanish montante. The PK just uses a one handed sword (which, if I'm not wrong, can go from 75 cm. to 1 m. long ~) and a parrying dagger, which were used commonly with a rapier.

Don't believe what D&D, dark souls and similar RPGs have taught you, a medieval longsword IS a two handed sword and is only a little bit shorter and lighter than a claymore.

The Warden uses a longsword, it's a bit fantasy and thicker than it should be, but it's still pretty much just a longsword.

If it's thicker then it's more of a greatsword than a longsword. The longsword could be up to 1.45 m. While the claymore was about 1.39, the diference is that the claymore (as the zweihander, and all the variants) is more on the balance point being more on the edge for the greatswords and more close to the handle for the longswords. And, of course, in the weight.

First of all, sorry for my english!

Peacekeeper's daggers are just daggers, the parrying dagger (or "Vizcaina" / "Daga de vela") has a protection for the users hand (called "Cazoleta" (like rapier ones) or just "vela")

The name of the pk sword is "arming sword", if i remember well.

Montantes are 1.70m long (i've weilded one of that lenght), warden weapons are shorter.

This is actually a point a lot of historicans and hima people discuiss... when does a longsword becomes a greatsword?

One suggestion on how to differ them comes from Shadiversity.
He suggest that a different usage of the weapon defines what kind of weapon it is.

His video about it is here:

Realistically speaking - The blade is too thick. It's still a longsword, there's no such thing as a "greatsword" so much as a longsword designed specifically for two-hand use. Most proper, late-age longswords are purely stabbing weapons and would be narrow to facilitate this. Hacking swords would be more curved and heavier, the Warden's sword is an ineffective combination of both.

But they aren't going to hyper-realistic. If they did, the Lawbringer would be god-tier. His armour would stop nearly every weapon in the game.
