Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr Fresh Steam Build Released

When NeocoreGames announced a slight delay for their upcoming action-RPG Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr, they also promised to use the additional development time to put together another Steam Beta build prior to the game’s full release. That build is now live on Steam, ahead of the game’s June 5, 2018 launch. The patch notes are quite extensive, so here’s a brief overview of the new features:

New Features

• The Account Level mechanism has been removed. Skill points are now gained in a more traditional way, by Inquisitorial Ranks. We felt that the two-level system was a bit too complicated, so we have reached back to the basics as everyone should be more comfortable with this method.
• New Main Menu design
• Added the first iteration of the Morality System
• The Morality System will be tied to assignments and story events (in the campaign), where you will be prompted to make a choice that will push you towards “Radical” or “Puritan”.
• Added the first three chapters of the Campaign
• Added 56 new perks. Some of them are linked to Heroic Deeds, and some of them are Influence Rewards.[…]
• Added 29 New Heroic Deeds: (some of those will be hidden ;)[…]
• New consumables available – You can find these as a rare drop or a rare shop item. Mind Reset and Immediate Crafting have a significantly better chance of spawning.[…]
• Multiple new Assignments added with their respective plots, clues, cutscenes and unique game modes.
• Crafting: Numerous new techs available

And here are the notes for the quick hotfix that followed the main update:
