In Nomine....does it have a "Pro-Heaven" bias?

On the contrary, a major problem I've found with IN is that has a "pro-Hell" bias; so much effort has been made to make demons playable that playing an angel 'straight' - ie wanting to kick all demons of Earth - can easily degenerate into coming across as a psychopath. The Purity Crusade (the expulsion of dream creatures from the Corporeal) is another example where a straightforward desire to defend humanity is almost impossible to defend. Several demonic bands, notably the Impudites and Lilim, are actively beneficial to society, preventing needless deaths and enforcing oaths respectively.

When you get a copy of Heaven and Hell (an essential rule book that is an excellent read) you'll get to see how wildly different each principality of Hell is. In Shal-Mari, humans are 'free' but generally bankrupt due to the countless temptations they are surrounded by. In Perdition the Damned are couch potatoes watching their favourite soapies, while Stygia is an anarchist's dream - ie, Hell.
