Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy may allow players to conclude investigations with almost no evidence. Owlcat Games’ narrative designer described the feature as part of the game’s storytelling.
A forecast as of publication. An announcement and on-sale availability require separate confirmation.
In Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, players will take the role of Inquisition acolytes investigating possible heresy. Owlcat Games’ narrative designer said cases may be concluded even when there is almost no evidence.
The feature means the game will not necessarily require a convincing body of evidence before an investigation can be closed.
Investigations through an acolyte’s eyes
The player characters serve the Inquisition, an organisation tasked with seeking out heresy in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The narrative uses that role as the foundation for its investigations.
The narrative designer linked that premise to the ability to make decisions despite limited evidence. The supplied material does not provide further details about the mechanic.
