*Spoiler* Act 4 The Great Judgement *Spoiler*

Can you not have both Dolorso and Incendia Chorda survive? I passed checks in having Dolorso's aid in stopping Chorda, though once she repents, Dolorso decides to be a schizo and turncoats. Is this a bug or, as the his dialogue suggests, he's just turns into a dumbo?

He is nuts, more so than her. Chorda is mad because of his influence; once she gets away from him and reflects, she turns into a functional human being. The holy father is not so much; if you read dialogue with him, you can clearly see that the dude is suffering from a split personality. He is a rabid dog, so yeah, it is best to put him down and let the other reasonable dude take over.

He seemed quite reasonable (for a fanatic priest) up until the repentance.

This is the reason why I think it is a bug instead of bad writing, his reaction makes complete sense as if you haven't convinced him beforehand. Could be a flag missing or something else, not uncommon for act4 quests.

Edit: out of curiosity I toyboxed my save to see the full conversation script (I'm playing iconoclast and part of the conversation is locked behind dogmatic 350) and the whole story make a lot more sense. Basically it's Dolorso who brainwashed Chorda into a preacher, and he never ever thinks he is wrong - his aid is more like trying to stop her from killing potential believers, but he is not objected to 'purifying' footfall itself, which is why he turns on you afterwards because you made Chorda abandoned her job.
It is extremely weird that this conversation can only be seen by dogmatic+iconoclast 350 aka only by cheating, this is definitely a design error.

There is a planet that you can find that is full of cryocapsules. If you capture a bad guy there via event, you will find that Chorda was one of these capsules, and you can later talk with the holy father about it. It turns out he was put in charge of guarding this Rogue Trader family but killed them all because of the vision, aside from Chorda, whom he taught cannibalism and how to give in to the righteous rage. It is rather subtle, but the game hints that he has been corrupted by Khorne all along. He just has no idea about it.

I know about the capsule stuff and he seemed quite sorrowful about the event. I don't see the khorne influence, He seems quite against the senseless slaughtering Chorda was conducting.

If you go Heretical, you figure out that most of his outbursts are actually shams due to his fear of death, and he is already veering towards Nurgle. You then give the final push towards that during that Footfall Chorda quest

He still preaches in the Atrium even though I killed him on the Iconoclast path. He's even happy about my decisions!
