There does seem to be a mechanic around the puritan/radical divide in the Inquisition but It's not implemented yet.

mabey choosing to keep demonic artifacts will warp your body,as you use them, so you can at least look a bit tainted with a extra eye/ arm. but this proberly won't happen

The morality system is supposed to allow you to use some chaos weapons, however that stuff is purified first to prevent exactly what you describe.
Mutated inquisitor would shoot himself faster then he'd be able to shout "heretic" at himself.

Games Workshop generally oversee content of games with their IP so things need to remain within the bounds of lore.

The very idea of an Inquisitor allowing themself to be mutated ... probably never going to happen.

Chances of joining Chaos are very, very slim.

I dunno about that... Especially if the Inquisitor in question is a psyker. Chaos corrupts and inquisitors are still mortal. Not to mention, they spend a hell of a lot of time staring into the abyss without a lot of oversight.

I mean from a game standpoint it wouldn't make sense but it certainly wouldn't be breaking lore.

Radical inquisitors will often commit heresy in order to fight chaos. It is a fight fire with fire, ends justify the means mentality. Inquisitor Eisenhorn unleashed a daemonhost in order to combat the forces of chaos, for example.

[Lost Question]

baised upon the viewpoint of a puritan inqusitor that means playing as a radical ininquisitor

though radical and puritan are the 2 exrtemes, radicals will do anything they think are needed to achieve their goals with nothing off the table, where puritans will not touch anything that the precieve as being tainted by chaos or xenos, and are quite willing to start purgeing those they think are heritics. sort of a inquisitor comes across a magnificent powersword while purging a chaos temple a normal inquisitor would mark it for later inspection and purification, a radical would pick it up and use it to purge the heretics, and a puritan would most likely destroy it.

As if inquisitors couldn't be corrupted by chaos...

[Tomsdeli]

inquisitors can and do become corrupted even in flesh. Quixos is a pretty prime example of one.

he was one of the greatest inquisitors ever and even he fell.

You're an Imperial Inquisitor. You *start* out bad. Your job is to prop up a theocratic hellhole bent on galactic genocide. To do this you are handed unlimited authority and near unlimited autonomy. You torture people for information and retribution. 'There is no innocence, only degrees of guilt' is your motto. You may sentence a whole world to die, innocents and all, if those who oppose the Imperium become too powerful for your organization to deal with quickly simply to free up resources to oppress other worlds.

Hell, one of the starting careers is someone who's made a living as a religious murderer offering up victims (even loyalist ones) as sacrifices to her god.

One of the core tenants of the setting is that there's really not much to set those who worship the Emperor apart from those who worship 'the dark gods'.
