I don't think they'll care too much about that, they'll probably find a way to 'bend' the lore to their needs. It just goes back to the whole MMO "EVERYONE MUST BE A HERO!" rubbish, which frankly pushes me, personally, away from the majority of MMOs.

If it is an Inquisitor then I would lay bets that it will be Ordo Malleus Inquisitors - they've removed choice from Space Marines, as in being able to pick your Chapter, so why give choice to the Inquisitor class?

I think that there was a reason for the Psyker and Tech-priest in that trailer not being Space Marines...

It at least makes it look like they might take another route. Not having heroes and rare units like Librarians and Techmarines playable in the "ten million heroes, sitting on a wall" fashion. On the other hand... well, who knows... maybe they were just messing with our heads. :lol:

Well certainly Games Workshop wouldn't give a fuck if they had armies of inquisitors roaming the battlefield. They didn't care when Mythic made witch hunters a front line combat class that started at level 1 in that shitty Warhammer Online game. So yeah, if Vigil decides that inquisitors are something they think non-WH40k fans would like to see as a class then they'll have no obstacle preventing them from letting people play as a level 1 inquisitor killing rats with a wooden sword.

That said, I agree with the "you're a hero" shit. Does anyone actually fall for that shit? Yeah, you're such a hero, just like the other 1000 people on your server who're your race/class. So heroic.

The beauty of 40k is only the fan base know the lore. They don't have to blow the lid off to appeal to the masses. The masses can play a sanctioned psyker and feel like the cat's ass without knowing it's not a hero class until they have leveled it to a high enough level that it is something special.

Everyone's gotta feel a little special right

?

I'd love to see Psykers in this game, but nope not gonna happen because they chose the godamn Black Templars. :roll:

Well there is one in the trailer...or is it a Tech priest in white robes (unlikely for lore reasons) doing some special ability? Looks like a psyker of some sort to me (00:56 on first trailer, 00:52 on the Imperium of man one).
