I like the character system and combat, it flows nicely and the characters feel true to the setting. The downsides are similar to most space games, it is very broad and without a sharp focus the game can feel too open ended. That can be covered by a good GM, but it needs to be watched more than you normally do for fantasy game for some reason. The only other thing that rankles me is that that the players are employed by a walking deus ex machina in the form of an inquisitor.I prefer the players to be sole focus of an adventure, rather than an inquisitor. The inquisitor can be hand waved away, I have done it in the two games I run, but their presence can lead to awkward game moments. Overall I think Dark Heresy is a brilliant game, good fun to run and very flavorful. I would say give in and buy it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
