* The fate of planet Rykad at the end of Act 1. No matter what you do, there is no way to stop Drukhari from stealing the planets sun, or the Chaos Cultists from taking over the planet. In the end, you're forced to make a SadisticChoice. Save the few survivors that you can, salvage the mechanicus reactor, or destroy the planet before it can turn into a daemon world.

* Commoragh is a saddening experience for almost all of your companions. After the Drukhari ambush and abduct you, the entire party is put through the wringer. Seeing your companions brought so low before you manage to bring them back to their senses. After two acts of them being heroes of the Imperium, it's depressing to see them after the Drukhari have had their fun.

** Argenta takes her experience in Commoragh well enough at first, fighting through the arena and finding a Commissar to gather people into a small [[LaResistance group to fight for freedom]]. [[LesCollaborateurs Except the Commissar's a Drukhari patsy]], and either you kill him when his treachery is uncovered or for the sake of working with Malice. Losing the hope of turning things around is what causes her to finally crack, and her guilt and stress leads to her confession that [[TheReveal she was the one who shot Theodora]].

** The Archon "torture" Idira by completely cutting her off from the Warp, which means that for the first time in her life, Idira can think normally and doesn't have to hear the voices that constantly plague her. Except that it is through implanting on her a device that will slowly kill her. Despite that, she actually prefers staying that way, to the point making her remove that device is a [[ForTheEvulz Hereticus choice]].

** Yrliet may have been the one to lead you to the Drukhari trap, but she didn't realize what she'd done before she was ensnared as well. And boy does she suffer for her mistake. The Drukhari decide to experiment and see what would happen if a Child of Asuryan was trained to use suffering to stave off Slaneesh. By the time you find her, it's obvious it's been a horrifying and miserable experience for her.

** This comes to the forefront as part of Idira's companion storyline, as she starts [[DrowningMySorrows drinking heavily]], to the point that she lets the Warp whispers conjure up the ghostly figure of Theodora, eventually becoming a Daemon that tries to cajole Idira into falling completely.
