Warhammer And Warhammer 40k. Both prime examples.
Thank you. I might otherwise have forgotten a prime example of Inquisitors being agents of torture and slaughter. Drawing inspiration in that setting from their real world place as the authors of some of the worst atrocities in the history of the human race. A name synonymous with wanton brutality. Probably why there are already Inquisitors in Tyria and they were bad guys.
Well, the angle they’re trying to go for with Dragonhunter is meant to be dark and the class concept of Inquisitors/Witch Hunters can’t be all that much worse than darker classes like Thieves and Necromancers. (And even Mesmers, who work in mind trickery.)
