I once made a simple FUDGE adaptation for playing in Dune. It was fun, even for people who'd never played a roleplaying game before and hadn't read Dune.

I can, but bear in mind that a) it's not a complete game because I just made handbooks for the players telling them only what they need to know, b) the rules for things like the Weirding and Dueling maneuvers are missing, and c) it's got a bunch of copyrighted artwork that I should strip out before I share it with anybody.

They promised to “reunite him with his wife”, didn’t they? That’s the most obvious way of saying “lol we already killed her and we’ll kill you when the job is done” and he still went along with it.

The implication was that he suspected what was going on but was never entirely sure. The chance that the baron would maybe actually give his wife back was worth the risk but either way he decided to kill the poo poo out of the baron no matter what. He realized he was very probably screwed no matter what though.

Take the plunge! Okay!

It was announced explicitly. Most of the plot of Dune is described in detail before they even leave Caladan. Everything important, including the Fremen jihad and Paul marrying Irulan, is revealed before Paul and Jessica escape into the storm.

He basically resolved to trade the Duke's life, went out of his way to help Paul and Jessica, and then commenced with doing the thing to try and kill the Baron. His conditioning wasn't broken so much as he loved his bene gesserit girlfriend so much he wanted revenge more than he wanted to keep the Duke alive.

I've always imagined the conditioning as a super-Hippocratic Oath programmed into the doctor's mind like the loving First Law of Robotics, so for him to betray the Duke would seem to imply it was broken in some fashion. That or, like in Asimov's robot stories, Yueh mentally lawyered himself into it: lowering the house shields is not the same as killing the Duke himself, etc.

When they go through the fort of Arrakeen killing all the retainers, Yueh is marked as a noncombatant. As sad as he is, he recognizes it by all the people going through saying "oh don't mind the traitor."

Piter "Hey Baron, Arrakis called, they're running out of spice."

The Baron fumes, but can't think of a comeback. He arranges it so the same situation happens again.

Piter "Hey Baron, Arrakis called, they're running out of spice."

Baron "Yeah, well Yueh called and said they're running out of dead mentat-assassins."

Piter looks puzzled.

Had we turned left instead, we may have encountered something like this...
Reading the Dune Encyclopedia for the first time and Harq al-Harba is a really loving weird idea. Essentially a Shakespeare-like character from early into Leto II’s reign with similar challenged authorship. Even weirder still that Fenring is rumored to be one of the true identities after faking his own death.

I can't understand these kinds of games, and not getting it bugs me almost as much as me being weird
There's a French fan RPG I'm going to grind my way through one of these days. Imperium. Might be dead now, but it's been around for a while.

Whatever the quality, at least "Pour des raisons entièrement subjectives, j’ai choisi de ne pas prendre en compte les divers prequels écrits par Brian Herbert et Kevin Anderson..."
So it can't be all bad.

Imperium looks like they've put a lot of thought into it; it's been through multiple editions and even has original art.

Alas, I don't speak French.

Youee had to be sure his wife was dead, and not living in a pain amplifier. If she was alive in one, I don't know what he would have done, though.

Plus, she was a bg so something she taught him might have helped break the conditioning
