Warhammer 40,000: Darktide
Determination: Explicit — Corruption 3
You work for the Inquisition, and one of the four classes you can play is a preacher.
Darktide puts the player inside the Imperium's religious apparatus rather than merely beside it. The characters are convicts pressed into an Inquisitorial warband operating in the hive city of Tertium, and the class roster includes the Zealot Preacher, whose kit is built on faith: he fights harder as he takes damage and delivers sermons while doing it. The Imperial Creed, the state religion of the setting, is a direct transposition of the Catholic Church — an Ecclesiarchy with cardinals, a supreme pontiff, saints, relics, confession and heresy trials — worshipping the God-Emperor. Heresy is the game's central accusation and the justification for everything the player does.
